Sorry, Genlemen, but when I posted I saw the following.

Community > Forums > Medium Format > Mamiya 645 > One Thread

That's why I was quite sure we all understand what we are talking about :)

 

Anyway, if they arу optically the same I will prefer MF lenses for wide angle as they are definitely cheaper and there's no problem to take pictures in hyperfocal stopping down to f22.

Thanks for your comment and sorry once more :)

Dear all,

Today I heard a roumour that European Comission prohibits the usage of Nikkor

lenses as they contain led. The story reminds of the same with Hasselblad and X-

Pan. That time it contained mercury and Hassel refused to produce them further

on.

Have anybody heard something like this or it's just a rumour?

Regards.

David, the question was about the Mamiya lenses. I was not going to compare Hassel and Bronica.

The question was based only on price reason. I'm interested whether I can go for MF lenses at bargain price in comparison with AF lences priced twice or three times higher.

I need your comments based on comparison of:

 

55, 80, 150 lenses.

 

1. Which is sharper of the pair?

2. Ghosts

3. Chromatic aberrations

4. Some othe points that you consider to be advantage/disadvantage.

I'm not taking into consideration the main difference in focusing of course.

 

Thanks in advance.

Gentlemen,

 

I'm interested what kind of metering do you use on yours AFD

 

- spot

- center-weighted

- or you use the autonomous light meter and manual mode.

 

How to get better results in exposure metering on AFD

 

Regards,

What particular Metz adapter should I buy to use a hot-shoe Metz 44-3 in all

modes, not manual only?

Regards,

Sorry,I meant fish-eye lens for 645 Mamiya. Is it worth taking? It seems to be a budget solution but sometimes it's better to pay more and enjoy the quality instead of buying and enjoying the price only 8)

What's Hartblei lens and what is it worth?

Thanks, gentlemen!

It was strange a little for me as i used Bronica ETRS and it has a different way. That' why I was annoyed a little. But you calmed me down :)

I have just received the cam and the question is: when I'm winding the film to

the next exp. what is the length of "crank way"? I mean should it be turned 360

degrees round for the next shot or just 180 degrees or less?

The problem comes out of that you are using the standard filter for the wide-angle lens instead of special WA marked filter.
