Ultimate Lens Kit for 4x5

[Old-N-Feeble]

What "modern" lenses would you choose if money was no object for use on 4x5 with "plenty" of room for movements, sharp center-to-corner and as "relatively" small/lightweight as is practicable given the other criteria?

Focal lengths from approximately .33x to 2x.

My choices:
47 SAXL
72 SAXL
110 SSXL
150 Apo Sym-L
210 Apo Sym-L
300 Fuji-C

Rodenstock Apo-Sironar S?

 

[Axle]

S-K Super Angulon 90mm f/8
Fuji Fujinon-W 125mm f/5.6
S-K Symmar-S 210mm f/5.6

 

[Ari]

72 XL.
Grandagon 115.
Sironar-S 150.
Cooke PS945.
Fuji 300A.

For giggles, I'd add a cheap older Fuji 210.

After paring my 4x5 kit down to the minimum, I'm back with one lens---my first in fact, a 162 Wollensak Velostigmat. I do have a two of other 4x5 compatible lenses, but those ride aboard other formats.

Ari - are you in the market for a 115 Grandagon?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the offer, they are grand lenses!
I recently sold my Grandagon, as well as my TK45-s, all my 4x5 and 8x10 lenses, too. Everything but the Toyo 810M.
I replaced them with three solid 8x10 lenses that I can work with for a lifetime.

ultimate means no restrictions when it comes to costs etc/

In terms of practicality I've always been happy with my 65mm f8 SA, 90mm f6.8 Grandagon, 150mm Sironar-N, 210 f5.6 Symmar-S. The only improvement would be to use my 75mm f8 SSA for 5x4, at the moment it's fitted to my 6x17 camera. I have longer lenses but they don't get used (for 5x4).

I loved my 210 Nikkor f5.6. It was a most beautiful portrait lens on my original Calumet many years back. Very sharp and easy to use in the Copal shutter, which I like very much - I'm a real fan of Copals. They're not finicky and always seem to work.

I now have a Linhof Color Kardan, and it has the 150mm Linhof Zeiss f5.6 on it, a very nice lens, and I bought a Schneider 90mm f5.6 for it as well. I'm going to hunt up another 210 Nikkor, and I should be all set for just about anything!

However, if you can get all those lenses you mention in your list, you won't need any help from me or any one else. That'd be about as fine a selection as you could get.
