The Mamiya's hot shoe is a big plus in that respect. I'm also about to endeavor into the world of flash photography.
How low can you go (shutter speed) and get printable results on 8x10ish paper? (Does it? I know theres some technique involved but once you get the hang of it.) Would I be able to gain back that extra stop simply in the fact that I can hand hold it at lower speeds? How does the mamiya's viewfinder fare in low light? The 6x7 format is appealing but not a real dealmaker.Īs for the Hasselblad. My rationale is based on the fact that the mamiya is a range finder and "therefore should suffers less" with camera shake when firing the shutter. Will the extra stop make a HUGE load of difference between these two? I do quite a bit of lowlight photography so my question is. It can be stuffed anywhere in your luggage.So I'm down to either getting a Hasselblad 500cm and a Mamiya 7. Aside from the Rollei TLR, it is the only 120 camera ideal for traveling. The only delicate part is the exposure meter due to the lengthy wiring to the viewfinder and is prone to failure. I It has the best viewfinder/rangefinder I've ever seen. The Nikkor lens is really incomparably sharp with great contrast and superb color rendering. It was always a special camera with the ability to fold up to an ultra compact form, and when the Japanses took over the camera, they also took over the Bauhouse form and produced something very special. They made excellent cameras and the optics were always way above average and are much desired today long after the company ceased to make cameras or anything else for that matter. I'll not say anything negative about the Mamiya.
I bought a Makina 67 about 18 months ago. No vibration whatsoever! 6x7 Velvia 50 scans on my Epson V-750 yields 150MP images that are breathtaking and razor sharp. The leaf shutter allows for hand-held shots down to 1/8s. My holy trinity of lenses are the 43mm, 80mm, and 150mm. In an age of digital manipulation, every photographer needs to own a film camera for truth, history, and posterity. I knew these cameras would be instant classics due to their special niche. The Mamiya 7 II adds multiple exposure over the regular 7, otherwise they’re essentially the same camera. These are the reasons why I bought the Mamiya 7 II 16 years ago over the Plaubel Makina. You won’t see much of a difference with a 4x loupe, but on a 8x loupe, the Mamiya 7 II lenses are clearly sharper. The Mamiya 7 II holds better alignment over time, film advance is more reliable, more rugged and less fragile, and more importantly, the lenses are sharper than the Plaubel Makina. The advantages of the Mamiya 7 II over the Plaubel Makina are substantial. Makina 67 – Spoiler: the Makina WinsĪbout Film Fridays: We recently launched an analog forum and in a continuing effort to promote the fun of the medium, we'll be sharing film-related content on Fridays, including articles from our friends at 35mmc and KosmoFoto. Click the link below for a more-detailed comparison and plenty of gorgeous sample photos. But the Makina won him over with its smaller size, better battery life and cheaper cost.

But he found a lot to like about the Mamiya, including an easier-to-see rangefinder patch and slightly shaper lenses. Ultimately, for Hamish's shooting style, the Makina came out on top. 35mmc's Hamish Gill had the unusual opportunity to shoot with both back-to-back, and crown a personal favorite. But rarely are they directly compared to one another, until now. The interchangeable lens Mamiya 7 and fixed / collapsible lens Plaubel Makina 67 are titans of the medium format world, and both still command quite high prices on today's used market.
