I've just bought a Mamiya 645AFD I with a Phase One P25+ back. Given that this is a lower pixel density back I'm wondering if there is much to gain from using prime lenses?
I shoot landscapes and will be using an aperture of around ƒ/8 to ƒ/16 most of the time on a tripod.
The two options I'm looking at are:
- 55mm, 80mm and 150mm prime lenses
- 55-110mm zoom lens
The primes would be the most expensive option, will probably give more image quality and be the heaviest to carry.
The zoom is cheaper, easier to pack and carry and might prevent some dust entering the camera.
Does anyone have experience with these older lenses and how they might compare on my digital back?
