p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · APO 2/90 + 2x Apo-Extender OR APO 2.8/100 + APO 2.8/180? | |
So here's a question for those that have owned those lenses: providing that the cost is approximately the same, which of those two options would you go for, providing that the costs are roughly the same? (Other lenses in the bag would include the 28v2, and 60 macro, so the macro function of the APO 100 is secondary.)
Goal is trying to cover tele/portrait, as well as tele for close-ish wildlife.
I've read mixed reviews; the APO 2/90 is fantastic at mid-to-longer lengths, but suffers close-up. The APO 2.8/100 is fabulous at every length, but the focus throw makes it trickier to do portraits up close.
The 2x Apo-Extender degrades image quality, but only a touch, and there's room to stop down and increase it to good or great levels.
Another option, perhaps? I'm specifically sticking within the R system here for the glass, and preference is for better performing glass. (As opposed to, say, the non-APO 90s, which are fabulous on their own right.)
Bonus question: anyone tried either the APO 2/90 or the APO 2.8/180 on the R-Bellows unit?
Thanks in advance!
