The Question:
from George S.
on 11/13/2005 9:19:55 AM | | Medium format - Bronica
Hello,
First, let me say that I love you pictures - travel photography is something I love doing as well, and yours is very close to what I do. I saw that you added a Bronica RF 645 to you outfit - are there any photos from it? Do you have any more comments and/or recommendations? I was thinking about adding a MF camera as well. Like yourself, I tried digital and I'm back to film, with my Old Leica and Voightlanders. While I have Canon 10D, I think I would prefer MF better. |

I will use the 65mm (like the 40mm in 35 size) as my main lens, with the wide angle 45 (28 equiv) as a backup. No one camera can do everything. Teles and macro still need 35mm SLR's. An alternative to the Bronica is the Mamiya 6 with the 75 and 50mm lenses, and the Mamiya 7 with the 80 and 65. I was put off by the Mamiya 6 and 7 prices ($1,000 for ONE lens) and the 7's reputation for maladjusted rangefinders. |

The last two in the Washington, DC gallery were shot with the Bronica. |

Thank you - I did look at those. Hope to see some more soon. I'm still debating which MF to go with - as I want something lighter and somewhat portable. I do like the look of a 6x6 format, but you are right - mamiya 6 is on a pricey side. Maybe I will bite a bullet and get it anyway. Well, we will see - still researching. |
