Portrait Lens for Mamiya c220
I am buying a Mamiya c220 and I want to know which lens I should use. I will be taking portraits of individuals and couples (friends of mine). Which mm lens is the best for this kind of portrait. Someone please help.

Tim,
The 135mm or 180mm should work as a portrait lens. Most would pick the 180mm for general purpose portrait use first, especially if you're planning on doing tight "head & shoulders" shots. The 135mm is definitely workable too. In 35mm format these are the equivalent of 74mm and 99mm lenses respectively.The 105mm would be too short to make much difference compared to a standard 80mm lens. The 250mm, also workable, would be a bit longer than most portrait photogs would care for.
