Mamiya 645 Pro 105-210mm f/4.5 Zoom

I used to have the 150mm and the 210mm lenses. When doing weddings or modeling, I'd have to load up two bodies with these two lenses to be able to quickly change back and forth in shooting without having to take the time to remove and recouple lenses. It's a drag, your client doesn't understand the extra motions and it breaks your rhythum with a subject during studio sessions or on location. I wised up and ditched them and bought the 105-210 zoom. At first I had the original version of this lens and it was heavy and long and didn't balance well in your hands. I loved the zoom, though. Then I had the chance to buy the ULD version of the lens and it was a perfect marrage. The ULD version is smaller and lighter and faster handling and has better image quality, too. It was worth the wait for me.

Zooming, no moving. Quick shooting similar to a 35mm setup. Excellent image quality..easily equal to the prime lenses it replaced.

The price for the ULD version. But if you need the image quality if you're a pro, it's a must. Look for it used on eBAY or KEH.

55-110mm zoom

Mamiya has the best service and supports it's users.

less moving around for the Right frame.
Good for reducing weight, leaving 210 mm and 150 mm @ home if you need to travel light.

ZOOM, hassle free
Equal to Prime Lens in Image Reproduction.

f/4.5, then again if its f/2.8 i think the weight will be too much to hand hold.

other Mamiya lens.

have not need it so far.

At a wedding I like to photograph the bride with each of her gals. I found myself moving back and forth with my 150 portrait lens to get the subjects to fill the viewfinder. Some of the gals are larger than others (and wider too!). Everytime I moved, the lighting changed from my overhead flash. Now, I just stand in place and let the lens do the work. For portraits I zoom in and out and get drastically different results effortlessly. This is the name of the game in wedding photography

I love, love, love this lens. I have made 30x40 prints from it, crystal sharp. This is so wonderful to use for wedding photography. Its sharp, its simple to use and is has so many applications

The sucker is heavy, hard to use hand held.

150 f4
