Originally posted by DSLRnovice The reason i am wondering about this comparison is that I am thinking of selling my darkroom equipment, which includes a Rodagon APO 50mm enlarger lens. An enlarger lens should be even better than a macro lens for flatness of field and this being Apochromatic I hate to let it go anyway.
On the other hand, I have a nice Pentax DFA 100 macro, and I might never need the Rodagon for my K-1. The scanner does require some sharpening, but the camera does also.

When it comes to V600 vs K-1 and macrolens+PS I find that the V600 gives me better copies if I overscan in TIFF and then reduce the size in the computer and sharpening after the reduction than shooting with the K-1. Also I often get better colors using the V600 on color negatives.
But it takes alot more time so it depends on the end use.
Medium format film: V600 wins when it comes to IQ and resolution but if I don't wan't to spend the time the K-1 wins.
The above depends on what film grain is used. I shoot on Velvia 50, Ektar 100, Tmax 100, my slides are Kodachrome 64.
Larger grain may tip the scale more towards the K-1.
