I recently picked up a Mamiya ZD outfit, and will be buying another digital back soon. Most likely a Phase product, but I am also looking at Leaf. I need to buy some lenses, and I am primarily a landscape and wildlife photographer. Some of the places that I photograph are not particularly kind to photographic equipment, such as the desert landscapes of Namibia.
I have looked all over for review of Mamiya lenses, and there really isn't much online. I don't need any of the newer lenses that are coming out, so no need on wasting time and effort in that direction.
Anybody have a quick rundown on some of the lenses? I hate to say it, but I am looking closely at some of the zoom lenses. For landscape purposes, I usually shoot stopped down enough that I don't need fast glass for most situations.
I am thinking:
35mm
55-110mm
105-210mm
300mm
I am trying to keep my kit on the light side, and I love not having to switch lenses in dusty environments.
Another question. Does Mamiya make a recent 2x teleconverter? I keep seeing one on different for sale forums, but I suspect this is for the 'other' Mamiya 645 Pro system. Is there anything available that I could use with the 300mm f/4.5?
So many questions.....
