You may wish to consider the 1.4 ratio lenses available. I've a
65, 90, and 127mm for my RB and a 127 for my RZ.
Mamiya is the only camera maker makeing a 1.4 ratio lens offering.
The 127, IIRC, was discontinued. As with my RZ 127mm, it can be found
used. Dan<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Would the 180 be a better portrait lense than the 150?

I think the 110mm Z is just about perfect. I have a 180mm W-N that
works well. But not for portraiture. There are times when I wonder if
a 140mm Macro or 150mm Z would be something I'd use instead of the 110mm
in those cases.

If you can, rent a few of the lenses and try them out. BTW, the 65L-A
and 110Z is my favorite lens combo on the RZ. The 180 just doesn't get
used.

Manny,
I shoot people and a little product with my RZ. I own the 110 and 180
lenses and rent the extention tubes when necessary. Since the bellows
allows for closer focusing, the tubes are needed only for extreme
magnification. Drop me a note directly and I'll reply with a couple of
jpegs.

Good luck,
TC

I appreciate you all taking the time to help me out!

I like the 180 for head-and-shoulders. You need good camera separation,
tho. In a smaller room the 140, or even the 110 is serviceable.
