Mamiya Digital Camera Reviews

"This lens is fantastic for existing light, low light, and selective focus...Even if you don't already shoot 645, if you want MF negatives and you want to get them in low light or if you want a great tool for selective focus, buy the lens and a body to put it on...It's perfectly paired to an old 645 1000s, which can be had for less than the cost of the lens..." read more »

"The System consists of the Mamiya 645AFD II Medium Format Camera with 80mm f/2.8 AF lens and the newly introduced Mamiya ZD 22 Megapixel Digital Back...The Mamiya ZD Back was designed with the user in mind...Mamiya is the first camera manufacturer to include Lightroom software with every Mamiya ZD Digital Back..." read more »

"I'm continuing to 'borrow' my wife's Mamiya 6MF as she is too busy with work these weeks...Shot them all using aperture priority and tried various scenes to check out how well the meter would work (as I've heard various comments about the accuracy of the meter not being what it should be...BUT - for 'walking around shots' I have a hard time imagining a better camera in the 6x6 arena that can deliver the same sharpness, excellent built in metering, easy of focusing and speed of use..." read more »

"The camera balances very well with all of the available lenses and has good ergonomics...The only good news is that it is available..." read more »

"On the C330, there is a knob on the left side of the camera that can be turned to lock or unlock...Focusing is done with the ever-so-fancy " rack and pinion focus bellows system...Trust me, if they're squeamish about you returning it for defects, there's probably a good reason..." read more »

"Focal plane with speeds from 1 to 1/ 500 second and B for time exposures...A built-in "hot shoe" accessory bracket is located atop the viewfinder, for use with cordless flash units...Since the self-timer operates independently of the Shutter Release Button, the camera may be operated in the normal manner, using the Shutter Release Button, even when the self-timer has been set..." read more »

"All the M645 models share the same accessories (finders, screens, lenses, grips and inserts...It also lacks the upper shutter-release button of the other M645 models..." read more »

"Also, you will need to check the light baffle at the back of your Pro-S...As for the RZ67, you will need a special Adapter that permits you to use RB67 backs on an RZ...1] RB67 6x8 Light Baffle Opening (at back of RB67 Pro-S body...I am not at all sure about this combination..." read more »

"Mamiya RZ 67 II camera, like its brother, the RB67, has a couple of features that set it ahead of the field in medium-format cameras...The revolving back allows you to switch from landscape to portrait without having to turn the camera on its side...When I owned an old RB 67 I took them for granted and, being principally a landscape photographer, I almost ignored them...The camera also has a choice of viewfinders, although the waist-level finder that came with the review model is really all you need..." read more »

"Everything about the RZ is bigger and the only disadvantage of that is the weight...There are other advantages like, say, rotating backs, central shutters or bellows focussing...These are the types of questions that are put to me daily as I consult with emerging and seasoned professional photographers and other creative entrepreneurs..." read more »
