I recieved my 150mm from ffordes the other day and it's in even better condition than I was expecting. Not only was it boxed but it had the leather case for the lens and all the paperwork too, even the little plastic bronica bag to put the lens in.
I must say I'm surprised at how much the lens extends when focussing and how this effect the view, it's almost like a short zoom lens.
The other thing I noticed was the focussing distance and the effect it has on framing. I knew it was long at 1.5m but didn't realise the actual effect until the lens was in my hands. It's impossible to get a tight head shot with it (unless the subject has a massive heed). I've read about people recommending close up filters to reduce the minimum focussing distance to make it a better portrait lens but was hoping seeing as we have a few bronica users on here for some first hand experience and opinions.
If I do go for a close up lens who makes good ones (not cheap ones)?
Cheers,
Kev
