The Tri-X is a no brainer for me, I normally use Tri-X and Ilford HP5 & Delta 400 with my 35mm's. I have thought about the grip, Adorama apprently has a few but I havent had much success at tracking one down at a decent price.

those are great, and likely better than my first will end up! what I really like though is that you were able to get great photos hand held on the move like that. I plan on doing a lot of portraits and such in a lot of my local squares without using MLU I see that is more than possible. I also am pleased to see that you used the 90mm, as that is what I think I will purchase. I was recommended the 105 and I think that I will want to have just wider than normal so 90 is a good choice. thank you, I think you have given me a little confidence in my endeavor!

wow what an insight! and thank you very much for the info regarding DOF. I will be bookmarking this thread for sure. I haven't purchased a lens yet. will be doing that in the next day or two, but I'm not sure if I am going to get it CLA'd first or not. it seems to function properly, and the last owner sated he has had no problems with it. but with the cost of film and developing particularly MF I want to make sure my equipment is ready to go before I start shooting. thank you again, and I hope I dont keep you waiting too long, but I promise I will post my frst photos here for all to see (regardless of how they come out). ;)

thanks for all the advice guys I knew you'd come through! I'm thinking that the 105 may be my best choice for now and I may look into the 165 later. im not sure about a leaf shutter lens. as I currently have the AF280T and I rarely use that. and thanks for the congrats, I know I will enjoy it, but Ive got a bit of a learning curve. I am about as MF ignorant as it gets, as Ive never ventured outside of 35mm. and thanks for the math thats absolutely appreciated. thanks again guys.;)

I just purchased an un metered 6x7 (I plan on getting a metered prism) I have wanted one of these for the longest time! I have never used MF before, and I'm just curious about lenses. I think It will mostly get used for portraits, maybe occasional landscape work. for anyone who does or has used MF cameras particularly the 6x7 what would you suggest for a good all around lens? I do not want to have more than one or two (at least for the time being) so I want a good lens that can pull a little double duty, though im putting priority on portraits. im also curious as to the different lens series. I assume the Takumars will be what I expect from the 35mm lenses, so should I be pursuing a Takumar or a newer lens? and what limitations if any will I en****er using a newer 67 lens on my body? thanks for any help, as I really need it.
