I am shooting art repro with a Better Light back and was curious as to what the best lens for that application would be.
So far I've had the G-Claron, the Apo Sironar N, and the Apo Sironar S recommended and they all seem like really nice lenses. But I'm also curious about the Rodenstock Apo Sironar digital and how much of a difference that would make with the Better Light back.
Then there is the focal length: which is the best for shooting art repro? I've read 210mm or bigger is best but then the Apo Sironar digital, which looks the most promising, maxes out at 180mm so I'm not sure if that would be a problem or not.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edited to add - Most paintings I shoot are under 30"x40"
