Medium Format Club - any Medium Format lens!

whether you are adapting MF lenses on a different camera (I know you are) or shooting that MF lens on its intended mount - what you got?

I'll start here - SMC A 645 120mm f4 Macro

How does this macro lens compare to say the standard Pentax 100mm Macro F4?

heavier, larger, etc ...

on FF, the lens equates to a 95mm f3, per mmCalc tables...

but I think it is possibly the sharpest macro I have...

I just ordered a like-new 645 FA 35 mm f/3.5 AL from eBay in Japan (650 CDN $). F*ck the curvature of field and all the negative things some people had to say about it ... blah - blah - blah. Secret is knowing the foibles of a lens and going around them to achieve great images. Pronto, f/11 and let's have some fun !


Best Regards

I'm loving my copy - the sharpness, the color rendition, and the short MFD is impressive...

no - not envy, maybe just to show what else you can do with different lenses...
