Mamiya Lenses

This is my preference:

My most used lens - 105-210 f4.5 is excellent and always amazes me!

I also have the 80mm, and newly purchased 55mm and 300mm lens. I can't wait to use the 300mm for beauty work!

I have also owned:

Mamiya 150 2.8D - EXCELLENT LENS!
Mamiya 55-110 f4.5 AF - OK lens, nothing great.
Mamiya 120 f4 Macro - SHARP LENS, but if I am shooting manual focus, I'll grab an RZ67 instead. I purchased the 645 AF for auto focus.
Mamiya 35mm - Good lens

I just picked up the 35mm AF about a week ago and I have been quite impressed with its results on the 48mm x 36mm sensor. Lots of mixed comments on the 35mm, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Maybe I got lucky with a good copy. Whatever the case, very impressed with its performance considering the price (~$700 used these days).
 
I could really use a 35mm, too and am a little scared off by the varied opinions. I think I may go new, do some serious testing against the D45 and return 35's until I get a good one?

When I started this thread, I had not purchased any lens. I now own a 45mm D, 80mm D and the 150mm D lens. I'm thinking of getting the 28mm D and the 120mm Macro but have not gotten around to do it. The other lens I would like to own is the 75-150mm zoom which Bill and Jack recommended.

I've read that the older (pre-D) version of 120mm Macro is just as good but a lot cheaper. My question is whether I lose lens data since it is non-D? or am I wrong on this?
