As others, I advise against a monorail 4x5 for landscape photography. They
are too heavy to carry around. Ideal for the studio, but not for landscapes.
I suggest either a metal-field (I like my Toyo-Field) or a hybrid (I like my
Linhof Technikardan). For lenses, I prefer the following set for 4x5, 90,
150, 210mm. This gives me flexibility to shoot architecture, landscape and
full-body portraits. For head-shots you would need 300 or better 360mm in
addition to the above. I use 6 film holders, load them in the morning, and
they last me all day.
