Sweetened condensed milk in a cheesecake? Huh. Never
heard of it. Here's what I use:

Filling:
1 pound cream cheese at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

No lemon with dairy for me.

But what really makes the cheesecake for me is the crust:

1/4 pound butter, melted
16 graham cracker squares, coarsely crushed (1 square = 4 crackers)
1/4 cup brown sugar

It's the brown sugar that does it.
