Your right there with him my friend. ROTFLMAOI think Graham should get another DF body for both lenses
Thanks Doug - I think you're right. I'm not really going to be using the LS features in my type of shooting. I was curious as to whether the Schneider variant was sharper or perhaps had better/smoother OOF performance. It's a big step up in cost for no gain for my kind of use I think.Both times I've compared them the 150D produced a file with more bite and a bit more crisp sharpness. The 150D is, without reservation, my favorite Mamiya lens and their sharpest design.
The 150LS is very good. But for your purposes (landscape without flash) I'd suggest the 150D unless pack weight/size is the same.
I like to think of it as being part of my workout regime. Ditto with the huge tripod. :ROTFL:He certainly has room for a pair -- nay a trio! -- of 150's in at least one of those bags he carries!

The camera gears are like marijuana (legal in Colorado!). They are very addicted!Your right there with him my friend. ROTFLMAO
The only lens that can contest my 150D is my 240LS!Both times I've compared them the 150D produced a file with more bite and a bit more crisp sharpness. The 150D is, without reservation, my favorite Mamiya lens and their sharpest design.

Bill, I really wanted to like that lens, but the mirror slap was so bad that I could never get anything sharp at low shutter speeds. At hand holdable shutter speeds, its great....But most applications for landscape would dictate use on a tripod.While we're on the subject of lenses, without trying to hijack this thread, what do users have to say about the 120 TS lens? It's likely my next purchase unless I finally bite the bullet and go to a tech cam.
Any opinions valued!
