Hi all -
I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into how the longer tech-cam lenses might compare quality wise (pure optics) with the older Mamiya MF glass? Not concerned about which camera(s) these can mount to - that's not a variable here, and use-case means larger aperture of the Mamiyas is not a benefit, so I'm discounting that too. Assume shooting at f/8 or f/11.
Mamiya 150/2.8 against
Schneider Apo-Digitar 5.6/150 N
Mamiya 200/2.8 against
Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 5.6/180; or
Schneider Apo-Digitar 5.6/180 mm T; or
Schneider Apo-Digitar 6.8/210 mm T
Mamiya 300mm/2.8 against
Schneider Apo-Tele-Xenar 5.6/250
I'd like to avoid considering the LS240, because I've no desire to have to shell out for a DF.
Would very much appreciate people's experience/thoughts on this.
Cheers!
Gerald.
