Sounds like the 40mm f/2.8 might resonate for you :).
What made you buy this over say a Nikon or Canon?
Now do a cheap f/2.0 24-70 please!
I didn't use the vintage lenses all that much, autofocus and zoom is just much more convenient. Also on the web 4k is pretty much the max viewable resolution. Camera lenses are designed for the sensor resolution which is typically 2-4x that amount, so lens quality almost doesn't matter for pictures viewed on the web.I chose the GX7 because it's really small and light with decent image quality. If I were getting started now I'd be taking a serious look at the sony A7 M1.
what would you propose? Hasselblad?
That lens is a 16 year old lens, hardly indicative of anything. Try a Canon RF 50mm f/1.2.
what kind of camera/lens have you found to be the best for this?
A mirrorless camera can probably be found used for 200$ so that would be better
Seems like need to use my 50 f1.8 more often!
Once I get a really good lens of a particular type I find it hard to use a similar lens that is not so good. I cannot get over the quality of photos with this lenshttps://electronics.sony.com/imaging/lenses/full-frame-e-mou...I like it even better than the much more expensive 135mm G Master I have except the autofocus of the 90
