from e-bay Summary: Bought this second hand on e-bay, and it was relatively new. The construction was somewhat light when compared to 35mm standard lens, refering to my Leica Summilux M/R and Nikon AI/AFD; but that's another format so I am not going there.
The sharpness was somewhat a desppointment @ f2.8-f4. I closely compared my 30year old Rolleiflex 2.8F TLR with it and my Rollei won hands down. This was evident when the lens was set on f2.8-f4; but, when set to f5.6-f22 I couldn't hardly tell the difference. The only thing noticeable was the contrast; the Rollieflex has increadible contrast.
The big plus about the Mamiya is it's affordability and the fact that it's a system. This lens can interchange with my Mamiya ProTL to my old Mamiya M645. A big plus. I can't even change the lens on my Rolleiflex.
p.s.
- always use a Lens Hood!!
- if not using a tripod; use iso 400 film (especially when you set it to f5.6-22) Strengths: ++++ extremely sharp @ f5.6- f22
++++ easy to read dept of field
+++ smooth focusing Weaknesses: --- somewhat too light
--construction feels like plastic
-not as sharp at f2.8-f4; but has good bokeh(blured background) Similar Products Used: Rolleiflex 2.8f(TLR) Customer Service: have not tried. . .
