| I own a Mamiya 7II system with their 43, 50, 65, 80 and 150 mm lenses.
My favorite two lenses are the 65 and 43 mm. If I only had one lens, I'd use the 65 mm.
Be careful getting a 150 mm lens. I got a dog that would not focus properly. I went round and round with Mamiya. I took me over a year to prove to them that the lens was defective. They finally replaced it, but I would accept the new lens until I thoroughly tested it. So be forewarned, test the 150 mm.
But frankly, if you are doing landscapes, you don't need the 150 mm. The image area in the viewfinder to too small to truly know what you are getting. It's not a great portrait lens 'cause you can't get close. A head shot with the 150 sees from the middle of the chest to the top of the head, with plenty of air above the head.
The camera viewfinder is perfectly made for the 65 mm lens. Both the 43 and 50 require separate viewfinders for framing.
Good luck with whatever you get. Don't cut yourself on the Mamiya 7's optics. Grin. |
