Mamiya RZ 65mm - W or L?

For which one should I shop? How do
they differ? Dan

Don't know about L. Did you mean UL? The only difference between the W and one without any letter is that the gaps between the f stop clicks are wider, and there are short lines between the longer lines for half stop settings. Although the W lenses might sell for a little more than the non W, they are usually pretty close in price. The UL is completely different animal. It is physically longer, and a lot more expensive than the original 65 and the W. I believe that the UL has a floating element. Personally, I use a 65mm C lens on my RZ because the wide angle Z lenses are so much more expensive than RB lenses.

About to Go off eBay

A fine looking W for $275 with no bids. Also
a floater at $300 with no bids; real nice, box
included. The shorter, lighter W appeals. I
suppose the L would fit My RZ Pro? Dan

Gone. I lost.

That fine looking 65mm W went for $303. I bid but lost. Dan
