I’m planning to buy a dslr camera (Since I learned photography a year ago, I was just borrowing my uncle’s Canon 1ds mk ii) and my uncle suggested I buy digital Medium Format instead of 35mm or crop-sensor bodies because of the quality and resolution.

After researching, I think like Hasselblad better than Mamiya, since their quality looks better and the price is higher (often you get what you pay for) and I want a manual focus and mechanical one.
So I’m planning to buy the 503cw and then a CFV 16 megpixel back. I don’t want the phaseone p45 and the 39 mp cf hasselblad back since I want square format and I would rather buy some lenses with the money I would save.

Now to the main question…

I read about these ZV lenses from Zeiss. Theyre for the v series bodies and I think they are like the CF lenses but in a better luxurious casing.
Just look! They look really nice compared to the black CF lenses.

Have any one of you tested these lenses?

And yes, i know, they really look immaculate don’t they and I admit I’m kinda biased towards those shiny metal barrels over image quality hahaha.

Tell me what are your thoughts.
Should I choose those over the CF lenses?

BTW, they come in 50, 120, and 180 focal lengths.
(I don’t care about not having a normal lens (80mm) because
I mainly shoot landscapes, architecture, food photography, and portraits and the 120 and 180 will cover my portrait needs.

I mean, even in 35mm digital slrs, the differences between lenses are hard to see unless you examine them at 100% zoom and use those charts with millimeter lines in them.

Now, those camera phones have sensors smaller than point and shoots. And point and shoots are CRAPPY!!!!
Now why would some Phone companies advertise that their phones have “Zeiss” glass?!?!?!

I know Zeiss glass is legend. I’m planning to buy some actually with a Hasselblad 503cw.

But for camera phones!?!?!

Nikon 55-200MM F4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX Black Lens

AND

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

And are both of these compatible with the plain Nikon D40 ?

Thanks in advance !

I have a sony alpha a200 and want to take macro pictures up really close, which the kit lens (18-70mm) cannot achieve that well.

Are these worth it?
Will they be able to get really close up?
Will the quality be ok?

lemme know
