I'm fairly new to large format, but recently got a Canham DLC 4x5. To save mone y, I got a used Zeiss Jena 135/4.5 lens which I now consider a complete waste of money.
I've been planning on getting a Nikon 210/5.6 W but recently found a Fuji 180/5. 6 for $450. The Fuji lens looks to be in good condition and is multicoated.
I have three questions: 1) Which focal length to people use more 210 or 180... is the difference reall y noticable? Can the 180 be used for head and shoulders portraiture without sig nificant distortion? 2) Are there any specific problems with the Fuji large format lenses that I sho uld look out for? 3) Is $450 a fair price for this lens?
Thanks
