There was an article recently on LL that has tested the mamiya zoom and found it to be excellent - http://www.josephholmes.com/news-medformatprecision.html
The author claims the lenses are very inconsistent though, backing up that view throughout. (But I find this true of all lenses).
Problem, OP wants sharp. Define sharp.
No, 55-110 is not 'digitar' sharp. Its not as sharp as the standard 80 (which is digitar sharp by the way)
But its a zoom folks. Thats right, its a bit of a compromise. I use it a lot though. Honestly can't see problems with saturation etc, but yes would like it a bit sharper... but its a zoom. It does the job, particularly at f11.
Compared with a Contax 55, this can suck at the 55 wide end. But guess what, I don't own a contax system... and...yes... its a zoom!
I use it with an Aptus 75.
I don't tend to shoot tethered looking at the eyes of a model at 200%, nor would I use this lens to try and emulate large format landscape photography though. So perhaps I'm not as demanding as some here. When detail is the goal, I stick to the 80 or to my digitars.
