Dear All,
I'm looking for a good brass lens, preferably a Dallmeyer 2A. I mainly see two versions of it.
1. Waterhouse stops
2. Iris aperture
Obviously, iris version is more convenient and expensive ( So assume that, more folks prefer iris over waterhouse stops )
My question is, would iris version more prone to failure. Other than high price, what's other issues of Iris lenses? As long as the lens comes with all the waterhouse stops, I don't mind using it and obviously, a speedy workflow is not a criteria here. Should we pay premium price for Iris or we will be okay with waterhouse stop version?
Thanks..
