Try Minolta MD 75-150mm f4. Lovely to use!

Great review. But I wonder what is better? The Mamiya 120mm Macro or the Pentax 645 Macro lens. This may be asking too much, but can you do a review of the Mamiya 645 35mm wide-angle lens for the GFX system? Thanks!

As a new convert to the 100s... this was a fab insight. Subscribed, and looking forward to more deep dives into vintage glass. PS. I did just buy an 18mm macro ring for go with the native 45-100mm zoom. A great pairing. But I loved the colours from you snaps... beautes!

A good test to see whether a lens can outresolve the GFX sensor is to put the aperature at f/5.6, take a photo, then do a pixel-shift multishot under the same conditions. If the pixel shift image has more detail than the regular photo then you know the lens is capable of outresolving the GFX sensor. The aperature is important here because beyond F/7.1 you will be diffraction limited and pixel shift does not help. Then if the lens is too wide open you will have to deal with abberation induced blur which could cause blur limited performance. Again, pixel shift will not help. F/5.6 seems like the general sweet spot where many lenses are sharpest. You also know the performance will not be diffraction limited, because that limit is f/7.1.

Hello, Thanks for the video. I bought a version of this lens (the A) to use with Fuji GFX 50R for scanning negatives. I have a Fotodiox adapter. The f-stop ring moves, but I am not seeing the diaphragm/aperture change. I moved the switch from A to M and still no movement of the diaphragm. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this lens damaged? I do have the 80mm macro and that seems to work fine on my setup. I thought this would be the same. Thanks.

How is the difference between a 135 lens and a 645 lens?

@BD323 Жыл бұрын

Very big difference! 645 almost always better as far as sharpness and sensor coverage. Only downside is that most 645 lenses are slower / smaller maximum aperture. I think the fastest 645 lens is f/1.9 (Mamiya 80mm).. Most are f/2.8 and slower.
