With f/2.8 being so common, basically every 645 lens ends up being equivalent in DoF to f/1.7 on 24x36. Lenses like the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 and Contax 645 80mm f/2 were novelties—beautiful lenses for—where that faster aperture only appeared at one focal length, where today getting an f/1.2 equivalent for 35mm can be had from 28mm to 85mm.
I recently purchased a Schneider 80/2 for Rollei 6000 series. Haven't used it yet but it should be interesting in this regard.
What ƒ-stop equivalent to 35mm would the Schneider be on the 6x6 format?
Roughly 40mm f1 in terms of a direct comparison of the diagonals (.53x). If you crop the 24x36 to square, the equivalent is ~35mm f/0/86 (0.43x).
