Hi all,
I'm primarily, if not entirely a portrait photographer. I do most of my work in a studio, with a combination of a Nikon D810 and a Sinar P for some film work. I recently picked up a Hasselblad H2 to have an autofocus film option and have already purchased a 120mm Macro lens for it, which ticks a lot of boxes for me. I'm looking for a second lens, something a bit wider to give my subjects a bit of breathing room. On the D810, I use a Tamron 45mm for this purpose and I love the results.
For the Hassy, I'm trying to decide between a HC50mm (version 1) and an HC80mm. From what I can gather, the 50mm is somewhere in the 30mm range in 35mm parlance, whilst the 80mm is more like a 50mm. Anyone portrait shooters out there who can give me some insight into these two lenses, where their strengths and weaknesses lie and given that they're roughly the same price, which you might recommend someone in my position?
Appreciate it!
