Congrats Woody, can't wait to see some of your images! (And glad I hadn't offended you :thumbupThat's why I was serious when I called him the master of all things photographic. He thought I had been offended by something he said but I was dead serious.
I am going out this evening to take first images from my CWD. In the meantime I am boning up on Phocus so I can process. I have the 50, 80,120 lenses with a 40 and 180 soon to come. i am so excited!!!!!!

Yea Robert i was very concerned about that early this morning how the MF lenses handle it. i was thinking F11 is probably there sweet spot. leica M glass is in general like 5.6 or even F4 there optimum. But i had a feeling this morning F22 is too much. I only had a polarizer with me but I really need a neutral density filter. But i was trying to catch DOF but some I did not have too. Reason for getting out there and figuring this out before money is on the line. It's good i learned a few things and hopefully others will learn from it also. We have a lot of folks looking to jump in to MF on the forum. So this may help some. Oh BTW the very very early shots I shot at ISO 50. The rest ISO 200 and 100I am pretty sure you are diffraction limited at f11 on that rig. I say this only from experience with phase and leaf backs in studio on the 645. It is splitting hairs but f16, f22, all get softer.
Sometimes you need the depth of field and that is more important obviously.
Love the DR and 'transparency' (best description- effect of being there vs. looking thru a window).
How do you find the VF on the Mamiya?
There is no direct equivalence due to the different aspect ratios. Using the width of a landscape image, the equivalent is 26mm.What does the 35mm equate to in full frame 35mm focal length?
