Truly superb and very cheap macro (ie, better) version of the standard lens for medium format. Beautifully made, and in perfect condition, this is THE bargain of the Mamiya range and works brilliantly on a Mirex tilt/shift adaptor with a DSLR. |

You state no aperture but as you say macro I assume you refer to the 80/4 as there are also a 80/1.9 and 80/2.8. |

Sorry: yes, it's the 80mm f4 Macro. I just bought the 120mm f4 Macro, so I need to the 80mm back into cash really. And my new cameraphone is occupying the sort of place in my life an F30 would fill . . . |

As a 120/4 owner, I so wanted to be wrong. |

Speaking also as a three time Mamiya 120/4 owner, I can confirm that the 80mm is very, very similar in performance to the longer lens: it's just that I have a specific job that requires the larger magnification and longer working distance. Optically, it's a belter. |
