Well, you're right and I will next time out. However, DOF is pretty thin and I didn't want to miss on these. I've noticed that when you miss focus wide open, it gets downright ugly not just a little blurry.

f/4 Wide open, her whole face would barely have been in focus.

What adapters are you guys using and where are you buying them (both standard and tilt/shift)?

as much as i'd like an 85 f1.2L, I can't justify the cost at the moment. Was planning on picking up this lens instead of the 85 f1.8 and using on my 5D2.

thanks!

you're referring to this one, correct?

is it strange that it costs 2-3x more than most other adapters?

actually for MF lenses around 80 bux is the price you pay.

The 35.00 models you are thinking of are for 35mm lenses.

I use the TS one. I have yet to find the allure of maual lenses without it.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Been following this thread and it confirms my thoughts on the Mamiya 80 1.9 that I own - very nice but I can get the same results from the Canon 85 1.8 for about the same price with auto focus and auto exposure.

But it is well built and works like a champ ... unlike another adapter I fought with for way too long.

Skip the heartache and go for it ... with or without focus confirm chip.
