steve_rasmussen Posted August 23, 1998 Share Posted August 23, 1998 Here is my opinion of the sharpness of the lenses I use, in sequential order. All lenses are compared by using their best f-stop. Listing is from sharpest to least sharp. 1. 75mm 2. 45mm 3. 105mm 4. 600mm 5. 200mm 6. 300mm The 45, 105, 600 and 200 are very similar in sharpness while the 75 is noticably better and the 300 is noticably worse.

roy_feldman Posted August 30, 1998 Share Posted August 30, 1998 The majority opinion in the Med. Format Digest group is that the 55mm is the sharpest lens made for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel_collins Posted August 31, 1998 Share Posted August 31, 1998 There have also been a number of posts on the internet about the extreem sharpness of the 135mm Macro lens. I have both the 55mm and 135mm and I beleive the 135mm is the sharper lens of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayorson_kirk Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 longer lens required more stability in camera body and lens, therefore, you may need another tripot for giving anchorage of the lens for 300mm and mirror lock up also. Try to use the longest hood for 300mm lens . after all these measures, let's see whether it is still sharp. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
