The 140 Macro is one of the sharpest RZ lenses. No experience with the 150 though

Great lens hat tiny 150mm, as all RZ lenses great quality almost for free. The 150 is one of my most used RZ lenses in studio.

They are both great. I like the 150 much.

180-140-110 are my most used in that order

I never shoot with longer than 150mm. It is a great lens. 140mm is a bit too sharp for my taste. 110mm is a dream lens wide open and I end up having it on 90% of times with 10% dedicated to 65mm.
It is amazing that now days you can get one of the best lenses ever produced for less than $200. I recently bought 110/2.0 from Zeiss for my AFI7. Paid $3200 and truly see no benefit over the Rz 110/2.8.

I agree. The 140 is great for super sharp detail, but on people the 150 is a bit nicer.

The 110 is one of the best lenses I own, on any system. The only lens I like better is a 127mm Rodenstock Ysarex, but I've only shot film with it.

the 150 is a great lens, maybe a bit long for existing sensor sizes.
according to mamiya germany, it is nearly apochromatic.
