Your favorite Mamiya lenses.

[Tom Duffy]

Wayne,
I had an RZ with 75, 150 and 250mm lenses. the 250 was very sharp. My favorite lens of the group was the 150 f 3.5. Available light shooting was possible and the lens signature was great. Sharp enough but not too sharp. A great people lens.

I never liked the floating element lenses with the RZ. First you focus with the built in bellows, then you manually set the distance for the floating elements on the lens. Much too cumbersome a process.

I traded it all in in 1999 to buy a Contax 645, since all my non view camera stuff is handheld.
Take care,
Tom

On my Mamiya RZ67 the 180mm f4.5 W-N is deadly sharp and not prone to flare like the 210 Apo. Saving my money now for my next dream lens the 50mm f4 ULD which is supposed to be amazing and very well corrected.

My most favorite lens at the M7II is the 43mm. This is realy a fantastic wide angle with almost any distortion and a great sharpness like all the Mamiya 7 lenses.

I use the M645 with 150mm C and No.1 extension ring as a headshot and portrait camera,this covers subject size from about 11x8 in to 25x19 in.I also have the 80mm and 45mm,would buy the same again.
