Ooooo...those HM lenses are *nice*.  My only schneider is a 72XL --
screaming sharp.  Fujinon lenses rock real hard, too.  Have a 210 there.
Nikkor?  Got a 300, like every other fool on in the LF world.  Super stuff,
all of it!

Oh I'm TIRED and BOOORED of shooting with my
APO-Symmar  • Apo-Tele-Xenar HM • Digital • G-Claron • Macro-Symmar •
Super-Angulon • Super-Symmar HM • Super-Symmar XL • Tele-Arton • Xenar

So I think I'll slip it off and slap on my  Grandagon or Geronar WA, or
Sironar
N, or Apo Sironar.
  Macro Sironar, Imagon, Apo Ronar.

Or large format Nikkor or Fujinon lenses are more than slightly exciting.

Why not mix and match?!!!!

I'll take the variety assortment!!!!!
