Dave Luttmann Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Anyone using the Mamiya AFD one or 2 with the 80 f1.9 lens? What are your experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondebanks Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 <p>Yes - 645AFD and 80/1.9 C. Mostly with an old Kodak DCS645M digital back.<br> <br />Experiences - I love it!</p> <p>OK, I'm sure you wanted more specifics than that. What aspect in particular are you asking about? The electronic rangefinder-guided manual focus hit-rate wide open, perhaps? That can vary but in general I am happy with it. It is no better nor worse than using the same lenses on my Canon 5DII, which has a much more sophisticated AF system. When depth of field is about 1 cm on the subject, then just a few mm of camera (handheld) or subject movement between focusing and exposing can explain it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Luttmann Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ya, I was curious about the manual focus ability. I love the lens, and have been finding myself drawn back to MF. Wow...haven't heard that digital back mentioned in a long while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
