hey guys,
i recently purchased a mamiya c330F and plan on taking it with me on a coast to coast trip in the US (next week). I am also taking my holgas and NOT taking my digital stuff. It's risky given that I had the mamiya for only 2 weeks now and have been playing with it; i developed my first roll yesterday and they looked good. However i am not taking any chances, so I wanted to see if you guys have any advice and tips for best use of my c330F.
practically i will be taking hopefully portraits and some landscape of course.
I have a the 80mm sekor f/2.8.
what worries me, sounds silly, is that i end up with bad quality pics. it is silly but i am even unsure about the focus/sharpness. I am used to auto focus (or none for the case of the holga) so now i look into that viewer on the c330 and turn the wheel back and forth million times with much hesitation about whether i hit the right point or i am a tiny tiny bit away.
do you suggest by the way that I get a tripod for the portraits ? the good thing baout it is that it is heavy so also relatively stable.
Anyway it was a way for me to introduce my self, ask for advice, wish a merry xmas, and promise some pitchers upon my return.
