  Q. HOW THE MEDIUM FORMAT LENSES YOU USE?

Asked by DK PERRYMAN PHOTOGRAPHY    (K=65) on 1/11/2004 
I shoot with an RZ67 by Mamiya. and I have certain lenses already. I would like some other's idea on which lenses he or she prefers to use when doing portraits,glamour, or fashion. e.g. I use a 110mm, what are some of your suggestions. I willing to try something different. I hope you don't mind me asking. The lenses that you use, what purposes do they serve, and why do you use those particular lenses? What overall recommendation do you have? Thank you very much....... I am sorry about the mistakes I made on the previous postings.........DK. THANKS AGAIN...

Hello,

Although I do not use A RZ67 but Hasselblad, maybe this is of some help:
I have the famous macro planar 120 mm and find that it is to wide for portraits. I do use a 250mm for portraits with the help of a extension ring to lower the minimum focus distance. This lens crops the image nicely.
The Zeiss webpage has an excellent view of the difference between the lenses.

Jeroen.

My MF portrait lenses are a Ziess Jenna 120 Biometer and or a 180mm Sonnar. I use these lenses on either a Kiev 88 or a Pentax 645.

For medium format in studio, I shoot both the Mamiya RZ67 Pro II and the Mamiya 645AFD.

On the RZ67, my favorite portrait lens is the 180mm. Best perspective for portraits, nice lens. The 110 is a bit wide for portraiture, but still a good lens.

On the 645AFD, my favorite portrait lens is the 150mm. Awesome lens.

I use on my Pentacon six TL the Carl-Zeiss Jena, Biometar 80mm/2,8.

On the rz the 180 was my favorite followed by the 250.

I shoot the original RZ and 645AF systems ... I also own the 2.8 110 but prefer the 250 on the RZ for *most* Head and Shoulder portraits, simply due to the working distance allowing me space for lighting eq and gobos without me or the eq ending up in the light path, and the near zero D.O.F., even at f19, which *just* covers the face/hair on a tight head shot ... :-)

I'm happy with Makro Planar 120/5.6 :)
