Price: To be frank, it’s not affordable, especially when you consider how expensive it is to buy and process film. Little to NO distortion whatsoever leaves images looking like this: Lenses: The lens kit for the Mamiya 7 makes it are impeccable. Or, use the AEL mode and the shutter speed will be picked automatically for you.
Set your film speed, choose your aperture and the camera will tell you which shutter speed to use through the view finder.
Light meter – The light meter on this camera is a joy, not only is it very accurate and precise, it’s super easy to use. Although the camera isn’t renowned for street photography unlike the Leica M6, if you wanted to create a body of medium format street photography, this camera would be better than any other. This is because of the leaf shutter system, whereby the shutter is in the lens of the camera, rather than the body. Leaf shutter – like the Leica m6, the shutter on this camera is deadly silent. The detail that this camera and these lenses are capable of capturing will continue to amaze you for as long as you own the camera if you sell it, you’ll miss it forever. It’s the perfect travel camera for so many reasons.ĭetailed images: The Mamiya 7 is perhaps the only camera I’ve ever used that turns bad photos into good ones (not the reverse!). Due to the rubber grip with grooves for your fingers on the right side of the camera, it’s easy to use, hold and carry (it’s not as nimble as Mamiya 6 but not far off). Mamiya 7 pros:įeel and portability: The body may be plastic, but it’s light and very ergonomic. However, despite this, little can be taken away from what is essentially the best camera ever made (except large format). George Muncey from Negative Feedback is solely to blame for the rise in popularity and therefore price of this camera. Mamiya 7 Reviewįirst things first, the holy grail, the Mamiya 7. Plaubel Makina 67, Fuji GW670, Fujica GM670, Bronica GS-1Īs we haven’t had experience with all these cameras, we’re going to keep it simple and compare/review the common and most popular 6x7 cameras: the Mamiya systems and the Pentax system. Mamiya 7, Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya RB67/ Mamiya RZ67, Pentax 67, Pentax 67ii What are the 6x7 film cameras you can buy? The only thing that differs between the cameras is the size of the opening at the back of the camera that the light is able to fill.Ħx7 tends to the most popular due to its perfect fit to 8x10 prints.Ħx9 is the closest match to 35mm dimensions in medium format. There are lots of formats of medium format film: 6x4.5, 6圆, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9. Medium format film photography has many benefits and is widely known for its detail, depth of colour, dynamic range and ability to print huge photos – some estimate the resolution of a 6x7 negative to be up to four times that of a digital camera. However, you could put the same film through a 6圆 camera and achieve 6cm x 6cm negatives. Therefore, once the film has been processed, you will have a negative strip containing images that are 6cm x 7cm in size. For instance, A 6x7 medium format film camera has a 6cm x 7cm opening, allowing light to hit a larger portion of the film.
Medium format film comes in one size, commonly known as ‘120 film’ and the camera you use determines the dimensions of the image on the negative.
