Is 100VS a portra? Is it still in production?

I have a 150mm, a 65mm, and a 43mm

I just can't bring myself to buy another lens in between those, they seem to be fairly good at capturing what I need. But I can see using the 50mm for some things. Still it's all about budget, and that says NO lol.

I've actually started shooting at f/16 lately, I just like the full detail deep detail. With the 43mm I haven't noticed any center resolution issues. Or do you mean specifically with the 50mm?

Markus, that first shot is amazing. Did you just get lucky for the train to stay in one place for 60 seconds, or did you plan it that way?
 
As you stop down, the border resolution starts to increase, while the center resolution first increases and than dectreases. The test mentioned around f8 would be perfect. I haven't done any resolution tests with my lenses.

Well, just to give you some help: I know, that in the DSLR-World an IQ like that is very rare - even if you want to spend $$$ or $$$$$. The only lens, I own that can keep up with that is the Canon 40mm STM for very small $. Why? Because its optical design is somehow similar. All other lenses with shorter focal lenght don't deliver such IQ in the corners - Except the ZEISS Distagon 21mm or Tilt/Shift lenses, but again: $$$$. So Mamiya has manufactured very fine lenses. The system isn't cheap, but every lens seems to be worth the money. There is no lens with a disapointing performance - and after 7 years with Canon I like that idea.
I also think there will never be a rangefinder again like the Mamiya 7 , so if you can, go for this lens. There is a certain difference between the 43mm and the 50mm.

And if you take a look at the image cirlce of a Mamiya lens and a Canon lens, you get more with the Mamiya lens 😉

Thanks that was very helpful, I was actually considering the 40mm STM but you need the adapter for full frame cameras, so it's still $400+ but you've given me some thought...
