I recently received a few MF cameras (also a bunch of 35mm and lenses but I have that for the most part figured out).
I'm open to any comments and thoughts, experiences, etc. that you may have.
I'll probably try all the gear, but included my initial thoughts below, which may change if any of you have comments or experiences to share, and of course once I start using the gear (film is on its way).
Pentax 6 x 7 and the following lenses:
105mm f/2.4 Takumar
135mm f/4 Macro Takumar
165mm f/2.8
Intersting, kind of large for what I want to lug around in addition to my digital gear. But what about the potential results, is this a "really" good set of gear that I should consider more seriously?
Mamiya RB67 and the following lenses:
Mamiya Sekor 90mm f/3.8
Mamiya Sekor 180mm f/4.5
Also, a few backs, one a Polaroid.
A little bigger than I think I want to work with.
Mamiya M645 1000s with:
Mamiya Sekor C 80mm f/2.8
a bracket/grip to make hand holding easier.
This one looks like a nice size, and format to work with. Too bad only one lens, but that is a standard focal length for MF, right?
Rollei TLR 3,5F - I received two of these. One of them in Excellent+ to Mint condition. The other a bit worn. (can I just glue the leather back down with super glue?)
This looks to me like the most fun to use. A few accessories (pistol grip, a panning pivot thing, hoods). Should the mint one be saved and not used (collectors item?). I suppose I'll run a roll through it at least. The meters seem accurate on both.
