Do the lenses you are pursuing have adequate image circles to cover the required format? After that, the choice of lens is dependent upon available cash. The 645 lenses ( Bronica, Mamiya, Hasselblad) will all cover. How easy or costly is the conversion? Can you get enough assistance in the optics to understand the tube vignetting issue and get past it? Why go to all this trouble for a lens that you think may have or does have inferior optical characteristics? And most basically, Why 30mm? What is "magical" about this FL? Last..... why not get a tripod and live with an F8 lens? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
