Hi!
I read somewhere that you could mount Pentax 645 lenses (and also Hasselblad V lenses?) on the Mamiya 645 AFD III body.. I have some questions.
I am finally getting a PhaseOne P25+ Back and a Mamiya 645 AFD III body!
But now I need some good lenses to go with it
I am coming from Nikon D700 and my workhorse lens has been the Nikon 17-35/2.8 mostly at 17 mm. So that is my "least acceptable standard" or how to say..
I will not have the money to buy into an 28 mm lens at the moment so I am looking at the 35 mm offerings..
I have no problem with using old Manual focus lenses as long as they are sharp and have good drawing (not so wobbly horizon lines and distortion and so on).
Sadly I read a lot of mixed reviews of the 35 mm Mamiya lens, so I thought I should see whats in the other brands (that are compatible with adaptors) arsenal.
so after a long rear, what I would like to know is..
Is the Pentax 35 mm better than the Mamiya model? Do you get focus confirmation and metering with the Pentax lenses? And I assume it is stop down metering for these as well?
I've seen that Pentax got a 25 mm that looks awesome, too expensive for me though.
Does Pentax AF lenses also work on the Mamiya body?
And what do Hasselblad V and Pentax selection got that is better than the Mamiya counterparts.
Also which pentax lenses is compatible with the Mamiya 645 AFD III body ?
oh my field of work is Landscapes and nature details so that is what this setup is going to be used for (rarely use the lenses wide open)
Thank you for your help!
This might have been covered but didn't find much..
