Whoops I forgot to compare the equivalents too:

Nikon 20mm @f/22 about 1.2 ft to infinity, Mamiya 35C @f/22 about 1.7 =

ft to infinity
Canon 50mm @ f/22 about 6 ft to infinity,  Mamiya 80C @ f/22 about 7 ft =

to infinity.
Canon 85mm @ f/22 15 ft to infinity, Mamiya 150 C @f/22 about 23 feet =

to infinity. =


I shoot a lot with the 85 in 35mm (or 150 in 120)  and these are the =

types of figures I found in my practical shooting experience. =
