Written on: 25/11/2009

I started with a £99 Mamiya C2 with 105mm f/3.5 lens, and over the following months added a 180mm f/4.5 Super, 80mm f/2.8 and 65mm f/3.5 lens and pentaprism finder. All components are optically exceptional and the images produced with the 6x6cm negatives are of much higher quality than 35mm (I have been a life-long Pentax Spotmatic and K-1000 user, cameras I still love but use far less since the Mamiya). The camera is not ergonomically well-designed, though - lots of knobs in awkward... (read more)

This is definitely the best way to enter Medium Format. The 80mm

Could not agree more after spending an entire year studying the works of Anssel Adams zone system thought my 16x20 b/w prints were pretty good from a 35mm neg until I bought a second hand one of these soon realised that 35mm is a micky mouse format by comparison, this is a great entry level medium format camera and one that you will learn more about photography than being a mere button pusher.
