I have had my Mamiya Press/Universal about 20 years. It is great Camera. I Photograph Places like Venice California. The camera fits in a back pack when I ride my motorcycle.

I found this review helpful because... it's nice to know there are people out there that recognize what a great camera this is. No menus and nothing automatic. I've never tried it for street photography but it works great for astrophotography with a heavy tripod.

I had had my Mamiya Universal camera about 20 years. Every time I use it the camera does its thing well. I have shot Bungalows in Venice Beach California I have very good results with B&W Film and Color and using a flash.
Camera is hard to focus in low light but can get used to it.
