Hello,
the low price of the nikkor lens makes me thinking about it too. I am just wondering - the range I am interested in is somewhere around 1:1 - 1:4. The question is - how much (and what kind of) difference should I expect between the two lenses mentioned ?
I am using Tachihara 4x5 which has cca 330 mm bellows (probably not the best macro camera ). If possible I would rahter prefere the macro lens to cover full 4x5 at infinity (nikor 120 does not, it should cover from 1:5 on) so I would be probably better of with some 150 - 180mm lens out of which only G-clarons come into my mind (reasonable price), though f9 migh be hard to focus at close distance I guess.
In other words, I am interested in a lens that would allow me to go up to 1:1 - I am just only wondering how it compares with non-macro lens.
