Some wide angle questions for the resident cognoscenti that habituate this site. I have a 40 mp based PhaseOne system and am in need of a wide angle lens.
The 45 does not strike me as being quite wide enough given the sensor size of a 40 MP back and it appears that the Phase Version is different than the Mamiya "D" version, is this true?
The 35 appears to have been staunchly discredited and it is difficult to find a flattering comment anywhere.
Most of what I have seen about the 28 is that this lens needs to be shot somewhere north of f/11 to produce acceptable images. This seems to be a matter of edge / corner problems. It would appear that the "sweet spot" would come to the fore with the smaller sensor and thus make for a happier combinations than would be the case with the larger sensors .
Ideally, the 35 is the focal length I would prefer, but all that I read makes me a bit leery. How much of the sentiments that I see are the product of a hoard of neurotic, nit picking, pixel peepers ( no offense intended here, in fact when I grow up that is what I want to be!!!):salute: and how much of it is to be seen on the desk top of the rest of us garden variety shooters on a day to day basis?
