While my H is on it's vacation to Denmark. I am looking to expand my collection of lenses beyond
the 80mm it came with.
My work is primarily beauty work. I shoot mostly head/shoulders type stuff. In the past,
I had used the Canon 180mm/3.5L Macro for most of my work. Before I switched over to
medium format I was becoming disillusioned with using a macro lens due to many lost shots.
The shallow depth of field,even at f16, was costing me keepers because there were times that
the focus would lock on a detail like the fringe of the hair... leaving the eyes soft.
When I switched to Hasselblad V, I was pretty satisfied with the CFi 150/4.
The lenses I am considering are:
1. The 100mm combined with a 1.7x converter
2. The 120 Makro... because I have heard it's sharp... but less so because I am wary of macros now.
3. The 150mm
4. The 210mm
Any recommendations/cautions?
