I came across an older 6x7 w/ MLU, standard prism & the
105mm f2.4 for an irresistable price (at the time). I had
come across a 150mm f2.8 (a nice lens, perhaps under-appreciated)
before the dough-stream dried up :^( , so I'm sort of stalled
out there for now. What I would really like is the 45mm. The
135mm macro also sounds interesting. Of course we all dream of
those monster 6x7 telephoto jobbies ;^)
I prefer the 150mm to the 105mm (too "normal"), but the 45mm
calls me. You may well be happy w/ the 135mm macro to start
with - ~65-70mm 35mm equivalent w/ 1:3 macro capability.

ps: anyone interested in a telephoto rig - MESuper/winder &
SMCP (K) 400mm f5.6 - in trade for 6x7 gear? E-mail off list.
