Oh nice!!!!! That’s solid I mean with the price tag of that 150. It ain’t a bad buy

I'm glad you shot at least one portrait with the 150 mm, the longer lens shines in this scenario. I also love having a long lens available as it makes you change creativity when shooting, looking at a subject differently or picking out details. I like to have a (in 35mm lenses) 35mm, 50mm and 200mm as combo deal. Great video, with some great shots

6x7 is very close to the 65mm 15-perf IMAX motion picture format. And Christopher Nolan’s go to lenses for that have been a 50mm T2 and an 80mm T1.9 for a long time now. Unless they need something very specific, that’s all the lenses they’ve used for those thick IMAX sequences.

i thought i would never own a mamiya 7 (with a 80mm f4), then i met someone who traded me my beat up gw690iii and a contax g1+ 45mm f/2 lens for it. I purchased a 150mm f/4.5 when i was in japan for 45000 yen and did a photoshoot with it in Japan. The results are great. I still kinda prefer my fuji 6x9, but maybe I'm not use to the 6x7 ratio yet. I find the 80mm a bit too tight for me, and i'm trying to pick up the 65mm but damn is it expensive. Also your comment about the f4 being a letdown is true, since i shoot alot of iso100 film. Didn't realize how much extra help i got from that extra half stop from my gw690

@@BadFlashesI think that's the plan. I actually went to 30 camera shops all over the country when I was there and I did not see one 65mm. I always wonder where these ebay cameras from japan come from, alot of stores just had a bunch of leicas, hexars, and really bizarre rare cameras (f3 titan, hexar rf limited, gold cameras etc) Prices are also ALOT higher at the stores in japan than on Ebay (except for Fujiya Camera in tokyo and Kitamura Camera stores in each city always seem to have good deals). The only place I was able to find Mamiya 7 lenses were at Fujiya Camera, and they had 5 150mm f/4.5 haha.

Since I got the 65mm I hardly ever use the 80mm anymore. 65mm is just how I visualise the shot.

True

Video @ 18:11 "maybe the best lenses ever made" Huh? - What you two Mamiyamigo's don't realize, is that these Mamiya lenses have an internal ticking time**mb. With enough twists of the focus ring, the flex that connects the rear contacts to the deeply imbedded electronic leaf shutter, becomes 'open' (connection break). Basically the paperclip bending back & forth scenario. With this, the shutter gets sporadic (starts to blank out frames), eventually going into total shutter failure.
