Grummz Posted May 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Been thinking of selling my 180mm to get a 120mm. I've only used the 180 twice and it is like new. Would anybody be interested? If you have a 120mm are you happy with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom0511 Posted May 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2012 I am happy with the 120 but use either 70 or 180 more often. 180 for reach, 70 if I can get close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephan_w Posted May 11, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2012 I LOVE the 180 for it's rendition. But the 120 is more versatile for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted May 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2012 I would hold off on selling your 180mm lens. I agree that it is not used as frequently as either the 35, 70 or even the 120 but... when the situation requires a telephoto, the 180mm answers the call with dramatic and sharp pictures. Too many people sell their lenses only to bemoan the loss soon after! Don't fall into this trap! Albert :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albireo_double Posted May 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 13, 2012 I have the 120 mm and I am happy with it. Ideal portrait lens, with a much nicer/smoother bokeh than the 70 mm but very sharp and contrasty. Being a macro lens, and lacking a focus range limiter, it can hunt for focus quite a bit, though. I am still thinking about adding the 180 mm for longer reach and greater separation (and with an upcoming safari trip in mind). Not decided yet, weight and volume are a real consideration with this system in the context of travel; I often choose to travel with two lenses only and it may end up being the 35 and 120 this time.

Grummz Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks, I've decided to keep it. Used it at a racetrack the other day and really loved the results. Still want that 120 though. Have every lens for the system except this one...argh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjheimann Posted June 8, 2012 Share #8 Posted June 8, 2012 Grammz, I have them all except the 180. Waiting for the C/S... The Hasselblad Adapter is ordered, after the arrival there will be the 300 Fuji Lens. The 120mm is excellent, go for it, Greets, Franz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
