Hi everyone,
I use mainly the following combo for macro work : XF/IQ4-150/120mm BR or F-Line/IQ4-150/RS 120mm Macro (pink ring)
But for some jobs (when the client will use the photos online only) I prefer to use the Nikon D850 with the Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art. This lens is of course not a macro lens, but if I don't need to get to close, I found it remarkable. Sharpeness and contrast is very good. It has this "3D look" that I like.
I tried the previous Zeiss 100mm Macro, very quickly, and was not really satisfied (very contrasty).
Should I try a different sample (a Milvus one maybe) or do you recommend another model?
I tried the Nikon 105mm several times and found it a poor performer (quiet flat and soft).
I know the Nikon combo will never be as good as the Phase One but it must be a good macro lens out here no?
Thank you for your help,
Best,
Vincent
