Then Schneider or Rodenstock for the longer lenses as they are all f/5.6 . I currently have a Rodenstock Grandagon 75/4.5, Schneider Super-Symmar HM 120/5.6, Schneider Symmar-S MC 180/5.6. Nikkor T* ED 270/6.3, Nikkor T* ED 360/8, Nokkor T* ED 500/11, and a Nikkor T* ED 720/16. The unique thing about this arrangement of lenses is that they "all" have 67mm filter threads. One set of filters for the whole series. The shortest lens you can use on a Linhof V is 75mm and the longest lens you can use is a 500, and it must be a telephoto design. Also, you should stick to 0 and 1 shutters. #3 shutters overpower the front of a Linhof V (or Master Technika) and severely limits movements.
