Lenses - who's least expensive and still good? in Large Format Posted December 11, 2001 I highly recommend the Fujinon-C 300/8.5. It's razor sharp and a great deal smaller and lighter than the G-Claron (which is also a fine lens). It has greater coverage than the 300/9 Nikkor, but less than the G-Claron. It goes for about $725 new from Badger Graphics these days. Since your C-1 is a substantial camera, the small size and light weight of the Fujinon would be a good match for you. <p> If you're looking for a longer lens, the 450/12.5 Fujinon-C is also an outstanding performer.
