What subjects do you photograph? How close do you work? Buildings?  =
catalogue shots?  As the standard lens for 5x4 is 150mm the 110mm you =
suggest is quite wide angle. How much rising front will it permit? It =
gives a smaller image than the 135mm, which  is nearer normal angle and =
might support more movements: depends on the angle of view claimed by =
the manufacturer. Philip =20

  I have narrowed my choice between two lenses.   Not considering the =
small focal length differences between the two which one would you =
suggest that I chose.   If there are owners of either of these I would =
appreciate your input as well.

  The two lenses are:   Schneider Super Symmar 110mm F5.6 and Rodenstock =
Apo-Sironar S 135mm F5.6.
