And what about Phase One 120mm MF Macro f/4.0 manual vs blue-ring schneider LS f/4 macro? I need a very good corner to corner sharp lens for art photography for sake of archive and re-production and am hesitate which one to get. I really don't need autofocus.
Og You don't need af, I think the manual D Lena is YouTube best choice.
You can buy it for less than 1.000 $ and it's just as sharp
as the new blue ring. The only reason to get the new one
is really if you want to use the focus-stacking om the xf.
If I should not use that I would never buy an af macro-Lens.
The manual D lens is very very good and cheap and easy to buy
now.
