Hi James,
I think he's talking about 4/3 sensor used by panasonic and olympus. As for
your P30 back, it has a crop factor of 1.3 so the viewing angle of a 40mm
lens is actually 52mm. Also PhaseOne does not recommend lenses wider than
40mm (before Factoring) as they cause color fringing on the edges of the
sensor. With that in mind an SWC or a 30mm is out of the question.
40mm(52mm) 50mm(65mm) 60mm(78mm) 80mm(104mm) 100mm(130mm) 120mm(156mm)
150mm(195mm) 180mm(234mm). Taking the crop factor into consideration I'd
start with a 50, 80 and a 120 then add a 40 and a 180. Once you get used to
the quality of a digital back you'll never go back to 35mm gear for anything
serious. I got hooked on my old kodak back (16Mp) traded up to a P25 and
really got addicted, Now I've got a H3d39 and prefer it to my Nikon D3.
Your going to see a big difference even in an 8x10 print.

The XPan (double width 35mm panoramic) have only 3 lens, so the choice is
made for you. I use them in the following frequency:
45mm - 60% (similar to ~24mm in 35mm FOV but crop to 24x65 ratio)
30mm - 20% (similar to ~18mm but crop to ...)
90mm - 20% (similar to ~45mm ...)
On the Leica, I use 35mm probably 70% of the time, 50mm 20%, and 75/85 for
10% but really mainly for portrait there.
On the 4/3, I use it mainly for events, so the needs are drastically
different.
I will guess that I will use a 35mm equivalent lens the most, which for
the P30, according to the Capture free's XLS worksheet, would be a 45mm
lens. Hence my original thinking of returning the 60mm and get a 50mm
Distagon instead (found the worksheet after I bought the lens :-) )

Well, my main problem is that I have no reference for shooting with
the P30.
My main gear has been XPan for fine arts, 4/3 for events and Leica for
everything
else. The P30 is going to be my landscape camera as I want more
dynamic
range in the B&W photos. Chances are I will settle on a 3-lens kits,
as I have with
the other cameras. The trick is "which 3 lens?"
What focal lengths would you pick for the other cameras?
