Most Accurate MF/LG Lenses
« on: July 11, 2007, 09:40:49 pm »

As many photographers have spoken about accuracy in their Medium Format images, my question to members is- what lenses for MF or LG format photography do you find to be the truest in image rendering post software correction?  

Bill Atkinson mentioned liking the Hasselblad 120-mm macro lens for his work shooting stone slabs.

I have found any of "my" Contax lenses are superb, no complaints, I have notice
that my 150 at F8 is amazing shooting waist up people. After shooting Canon 35mm lenses for years & moving to MF lenses is a world of difference, & I'm NOT talking about megpaixels.

1. Rollei 90mm/4.0 by far the truest lens
2. Contax 120mm/4.0
3. Mamiya 110mm/2.8
4. Rollei Zeiss 110mm/2.0
5. Hassy V 120mm/4.0

Hasselblad CF(i) 100/3.5,

I also use the 150/4.0 and the 60/3.5 but both are noticeably less than the 100/3.5. I would love to hear from others about other well performing CF(i) as well.

Hasselblad 100f3.5 CFI (10/10) , Mamiya 6 50f4 (10/10), Contax 645 120F4 (9/10), Constantly amazed at how good the first two are!!

Dustback, the 180CFE and 40CFEIF are exceptionally good lenses also.

Gary.

Another vote for the CFi 100mm f3.5. I am still using mine on the H1 via CF adapter. A bit slow, but works.

While I like all my Mamiya lens I'd have to vote for the 35mm AF
