I am looking for a modern 180mm lens that will cover 4x5. My primary use for th e lens is landscape, and I carry my equipment in a backpack a bit.
The question I have is: Is this lens acceptably sharp at infinity to use for no rmal landscapes? The lens is a great size and weight, would allow me to do some high quality 1:1 work, and is the right focal length.
I am willing to use the lens stopped down all the time if this will give me the sharpness at infinity.
If this lens is not acceptably sharp, I will probably get a Nikkor 200M instead, but I would prefer the shorter focal length.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance,
---Michael
