Macro with Hasselblad HC lenses

Dolce Moda

New member
I want to shoot my next beauty gig with my new H2. It will be a macro makeup sort shoot. Lots of close ups with some full face stuff.

Is it better to shoot with the 120 Macro? Or the 150 and an extension tube? I will be renting the lenses because I only own the 80

Thanks

I edited my first response because I misread something in your post.
Between the two options listed, I would definitely use the macro. One option might be the 100mm and an extension tube. YOu can get quite close and the 100mm is much smaller. The only issue is that if you are moving back and forth quickly to get full face vs closeup with an extension tube you may have to take it off and on between shots. Not necessary with the macro
