It's a tough call and there is no wrong or right answer. After years of shooting and having owned just about every single lens made for every system at one time or another, I can tell you that no matter what you have in your bag, they will always be a little too wide or a little too tight and rarely "just right." Even your zooms! :ROTFL: You learn to make whatever you're shooting with work for the image. You also learn that fewer lens choices usually generate more creativity.A question for all of you, I purchased the HR50 couple months ago thinking that is more closer to 35mm in 135 systems which I like a lot. Now, I kind of think that's a bit over kill. I'll probably sell it and wait for a wider version or get the 32mm. Any thoughts?
Actually, I think this should be the sub-tag line to the Dante quote at the top of this forum. Excellent advice. :thumbs:You also learn that fewer lens choices usually generate more creativity.
That's very true, Jack. I come to realize that the limit of how many glass I can carry in one trip and the fact that "less is actually more". That's how I arrive at the 3 lens combo on the 645DF. For the Tecnho, I will stick with 4 and no more.It's a tough call and there is no wrong or right answer.

Come in Guy, you can't manage with just three. The 5% of the time you would use a 120 would eat you alive if you didn't have it! :ROTFL:I really want my tech kit to be small and basically in a small shoulder bag. Right now if I stayed with the 35 XL, that darn 60 looks really nice than maybe a 100 or 120. But if I went 4 everything seems to change in my thought process and go 28, 43, 72, 120. Interesting how different it comes down too with that 4th lens.
But I totally agree the less the better and 3 seems pretty darn nice for the tech cam.
That is why I love to use shift. It gives you that extra bit of real estate.It's a tough call and there is no wrong or right answer.

Your comments above are very helpful when shifting to extremes on the 60XL.I can only speak to the 60XL. On a 60MP Dalsa 20mm of shift is easy and I have gone to 25mm. I use the CF when shifting past 10mm.
The 60XL is sharp to the edge to 18mm of shift and needs a bit more sharpening on extreme shift. However the color cast is very mild and no real issues with detail smearing.

Jon,Is there any data or user knowledge on how the 60XL performs at the VERY limits of its IC? When you refer to 25mm shift on the 60XL is that taking it to the VERY VERY edge on the Dalsa?
