Good morning.
I have been doing some research on faster LF lenses around 135/150mm. The options I have seen that could be within budget are 150mm f/3,5 xenar or ideally the 135mm f/3.5 xenotar. I currently have a 150mm f/5.6 as a standard and a 210mm f/5.6 for something a little longer but I'd like a shallower DOF from the 150mm. Are there any options I am overlooking? The Zeiss 135mm f/3.5 would be amazing but they are far too expensive. Any suggestions?
I'm also constantly weighing up 10x8 but it opens a more expensive world of film, developing, scanning but there is a lovely option of contact prints with no enlargement.
