Mamiya 120mm f4 Macro Lens (Digital)
I am getting a lot of use out adapted Mamiya 645 lenses on my Fuji GFX 50s ii. I have considered getting into DSLR scanning for my film work. It is supposed to be better than a flatbed scanner and faster but I find that hard to believe. My understanding anyway is that it is best to have a true 1:1 macro lens. There are two choices for the Mamiya 645, the 120mm f4 and the 80mm f4 macro with extension tubes. The 120mm gets great ratings in terms of lens quality and the extra trouble of extension tubes ruled out the 80mm f4 lens. I may have some trouble with scanning as a longer lens which will mean my copy stand will have to rack up higher but not far as the minimum focus distance is about 16 inched (40cm).

It is great for intimate landscape and can be coupled with a 2x teleconverter for a longer focal length....
