Planar CB 80mm vs CFE 80mm experiences anyone

[markuspd]

Yes well one day I will afford a CFE/CFI lens and I`m sure a digital back as well.
The lens I have bought is apparently the latest or last of the CB lenses available.
Guess I`ll find out how sharp a lens it is soon enough, but I am already thinking of replacing it with a CF 120 macro

, the neverending cycle continues.

Marc,
you have a great versatile sharp contrasty ergonomic lens. If you want a CF 120 you should add it. But do not give away the 80 mm lens.

Mark, nearly a year ago I added a CF 120mm Makro-Planar to my kit (have the CFE 80mm among others too). It is a magnificent lens giving superbly sharp images from close to longest focus distances.

I find its AOV very attractive and it has quickly become one of my real favourites to use regularly - such a versatile lens and focal length

.

Yes thanks for the advise I will definately get one, in fact I may even sell my CB in a month or two for a profit then buy it, it will only cost me au$200 more if I get a good deal.
That and my SWC will just about be all I need I would say, as I am not big on too much gear, one camera one lens is the way I like it.

Rolleiflex would suit you? One Weitwinkel-, one Normal- and one Tele-Rolleiflex. And now they all are in production again.

That was the first thought that came to my mind also Kerkko. Why not a fixed lens MF camera if Mark only likes one camera, one lens.

Hey, I guess I am just another unashamed Hasselblad diehard.
