RB67 -One lens?

[largely]

Here's a terrifying concept. You can only have one lens for your RB. Which one will it be?

 

[tim_walls]

Of the lenses I own, it'll be the 140mm f/4.5 Macro lens.

I am of course assuming that the extension tubes don't count as additional lenses .

 

[nick mulder]

50mm

 

[Curt]

Definitely the 180mm.

 

[keithwms]

127mm f/3.5 KL.

 

[Robert Brummitt]

90mm is my one lens. I do have the use of 180mm but rarely touch it. So the 90mm is it for me.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

I only have the 90. Nothing else. So if everyone has only one lens they like using you can feel free to send me your discards. They will be loved.

 

[Travis Nunn]

65mm

 

[Pumal]

50mm

No matter which lens you choose, the one nice thing aboiut the RB is the extra bellows extension which enables you to get up close to your subjects.

I have fallen in love with my 50mm C.

127mm K/L is amazing, don't have much experience with other lenses.

 

[thisismyname09]

127 K/L.

(to be honest, its the only lens I've ever used for the rb67 and I usually find myself wishing I had a wider lens. :\ )

 

[k_jupiter]

65mm

[nick mulder]

hmmm,

this might have better been a poll

 

[Steve Smith]

I hve 50mm, 90mm and 180mm. I often go out with just one lens but I would still like the choice of which one to take just before I leave.

If I had to choose just one it would depend on my mood. It would be the 50mm or the 180mm.

If I wanted to take out a medium format camera with a 'normal' lens it would be my Rolleicord. I don't see much point dragging around a beast of an RB67 just for a normal view.

[JRJacobs]

90mm

 

[panastasia]

65mm f/4

 

[2F/2F]

75mm shift lens if I had to have only one, and it would usually be on 6x8 (if possible with this lens).

 

[Jeff Kubach]

I have only 2 lenses for my RB67, 50 and the 180. Right now I'm leaning toward the 50.

[xtolsniffer]

65mm, sort of wide normal, my most used lens if I have to take just one out as you can do so much with it. That lens, RB body, WLF and two backs, one colour and one black and white is actually a fairly small light package.

 

[Steve Smith]

Now if I had to choose two, I would go for two which I don't have (yet!). The 65mm and the 127mm.

Probably 3, that's the least with this beast: the 50, the 90 and the 150SF, why otherwise even bother taking the RB out ?!

[keithwms]

Yeah, my #2 would be the 65.

My 123 would be 127,65,210.

N.b. I have the 90, the 180, the 150 SF, the fish, and I just sold a 360 and 65.

 

[Don Wallace]

I have the 90, 127, and 180 and on those occasions when I can only take one, I take the 90. If I didn't have the 90, I would take the 127. the 180 is a wonderful lens but more limited.

 

[Pumal]

I have the 50mm, the 90mm, the 180mm and the 250mm. I always carry them all. And the Manfrotto.
