mikheilrokva Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hello I have a chance to get either Zenzanon 100 mm f/4 (macro), or 150 mm f/3.5 for my ETR. They both are "MC" (so yes, not so good), cost the same and no, I can't get them both neither for financial, nor for physical reasons (my shoulder starts to hurt under Bronica). I'm not much of a portrait or macro shooter. So I'm having a hard time choosing. It might also happen that I won't buy any of those two and stick with my standard 75/2.8 in the end. But still I'd like to know which lens is better. Thank you M P.S. I forgot to mention. They cost of both would be a bit more than equivalent of 55$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_jack1 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The answer depends on how often you plan on shooting objects up close. For me I'd go with the 150mm and use a close-up lens or a extension tube if I wanted to get close. Optically both lenses are pretty equal at infinity. Since you said your not a macro shooter I think you already chose. BTW, the 150mm is excellent for portraits. MC get a bad rap, it's not because of it's optics, many have mechanical issues. Make sure the one you choose has a smooth focus travel through the full range. best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikheilrokva Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thank you Sir. Aye, I'm not a macro shooter, but then again I don't have people to photograph either so I might just pass both opportunities. Now if it was a wide angle lens, I'd gladly pay for it, it's handy for architecture and streetjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
