superior performance at all apertures. Many table top, studio, portrait and fashion
photographers find it an excellent choice for all purpose photography.
It allows slightly closer working distance for portraits than longer lenses, facilitating
a more informal and intimate approach.
Applications include portraiture, fashion, beauty, landscape and studio product
photography. Equivalent to 73mm in 35mm format.

210mm f/4.5 APO
The 210mm f/4.5 APO is the shortest of Mamiya's 6x7cm format APO series lenses. It utilizes computer-aided design and Mamiya's ultra-low dispersion glass for elimination of chromatic abberation. The extensive use of low dispersion glass makes APO lenses heavier and more costly than standard design telephoto lenses.
Typically, lenses over 200mm focal length show decreased sharpness, resolution and color saturation due to increased chromatic aberration, especially at wider apertures. The Mamiya APO Series are specifically designed to give the utmost performance in telephoto design lenses, yielding consistent, unparalleled image quality.
No other medium format lens manufacturer offers such as series of APO telephoto lenses, optimized for a wide range of apertures and distances for commercial applications, not just at infinity focus, as are traditional medium format APO designs.
Applications include commercial and table top photography, landscape, aerial, wildlife, sports, portrait, beauty, and fashion photography, where ultimate image quality from a long focal length and an image compression effect, is desired.
