Title: Schneider vs Mamiya
Post by: BillOConnor on June 21, 2010, 04:07:03 pm

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with or had seen optical comparisons between the 80mm Mamiya lens for Mamiya and Phase One, and the 80mm Leaf Shutter lens. I understand the leaf shutter advantage (fill flash) but does that extra $1200 buy more than just that feature.
My thoughts were to save the $1200 on the 80 and apply it towards the 110(?) Schneider LS.
I know Mamiya makes pretty fine glass, but Schneider has been hot, hot, hot, of late.

I haven't been able to compare as I live some way from my dealer. But upon his strong recommend, I have the Schneider LS 80mm and it is fantastic.
