    Is a macro lens as versatile as a digital macro

    Hi

    First time posting, I have only been using LF for a year, I took it up in my third year of a photo degree, and I am still accruing equipment.

    I mainly shoot tabletop and still life, portraits and city and landscape for fun. My next purchases is 240mm for this purpose. My most used digital lens is 90mm macro.

    I am looking for advice; I wonder if a 240mm macro will be more useful and versatile than normal 240mm. I love looking at texture, form and colour. I am really wondering if a LF macro will be good for portraits and I may only focus down to 1:2 and I mainly use studio flash.

    I use a Toyo view GX and have an anther Toyo rail to get long bellows extension of about 80cm.

    Gratefully for any thoughts.

    Dave
