Overall this camera is well worth the price and I'm looking forward to shooting with it again! (these photos are some that i took with the camera) Read full reviewĪ true photographers tool with WOW factorįirst off let me caveat my review by saying this is my first medium format camera and I am not a professional or close to one. One problem I did come across however was that occasionally i'd forg et to take off the lens cap and because it's a rangefinder i'd end up wasting 2-3 photos. I personally found the light metering difficult but downloading apps or bringing out a digital camera to shoot with too can help to nail down the settings. The lenses provide beautiful sharpness and a nice depth of field. The leaf system inside of the lenses also allows for you to shoot handheld down to almost 1/15 with very little camera shake. At first I was worried about the plastic shell, however it surprised me with how solid it felt in my hands. He lent it to me with a 50mm f4.5 and I absolutely loved it! I got some of my favorite photos with that camera and the convince of it is unprecedented with other medium formats. I was lucky enough to be able to use this camera for a month thanks to a generous friend of mine. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned Another thing you might want to consider, this camera is simply fun to use.so easy and the quality that is out of this world! Read full review This is a true professional camera and is considered by many to be the world's finest rangefinder camera. It just takes a little practice to overcome these minor shortcomings. I'm a filter junkie and couldn't produce such dramatic images without my trusty filters. It doesn't have interchangeable film backs, some lenses require on accessory viewfinder, lenses don't focus as close as some SLRs, and using a polarizing or graduated ND filters is tricky. It has a cult following and in several years, you will probably be able to sell it for what you paid. But unlike most medium format cameras, this little gem really holds its value.
Why some people may not like this camera: It isn't cheep. Did I mention you can't find any medium format lenses better than those for the Mamiya 7 ll? Another feature that some folks like is that you can get an adapter and shoot 35mm film to produce beautiful panoramic pictures.

Why I love this camera: The large 6x7cm format, interchangeable lenses, light weight, ease of handling, accurate built-in light meter, reasonable size, quietness, precision viewfinder focusing, built-in timer, double exposure capability, flash sync all the way to 1/500, hot shoe for flash as well as PC outlet, and a battery that last for ages. After considering six other possible camera's I found there was nothing that came close to the Mamiya 7 ll. Being able to use 120 or 220 with that 43 gives incredible results. To be honest, I purchased this camera because of Mamiya's superior lenses.Especially the amazing 43 mm! I have a project coming up that requires using film and I prefer medium format.
