Hi all,
Now that I have pretty much completely negated the Nikon system from portrait gigs, I have realized that my 35mm is too wide for environmental portraiture with the Credo 40. somethign around 55mm would be ideal and the 55-110mm has been catching my attention. The prices are quite decent in the used market and I am wondering about this quite a bit.
I have read Jack's notes in the excellent Mamiya lenses overview thread, but I am wondering how this compares with the 55 prime. Every other lens in my mamiya kit is a prime, but 55-110 is an extremely useful focal range for on location portraiture work and I simply can't ignore that.
I have the 35, the 150 and the 210mm AF (Non D) lenses and am satisfied with all of them. If this zoom is comparable to them, I will be more than happy.
Lastly, are there multiple versions of this lens I should keep an eye out for?
Thanks in advance!
