NEW TO MF film


Mist likely you will be persuaded to buy a Bronica / Hasselblad / Rolleiflex.

you are right nikkornos! nice pics from your seagull! there is so much detail. i think i am beginning to see the diff. from what a 35mm can capture. esp from your railway shot.

Hi folks, any comments on GA 645?

This is a good option for both novice and experts.
There are a few models though, 45mm, 60mm lens, the Zi with zoom (about 35-60 mm in 135).
It is a portrait style 645 (vertical).

645, 16 shot which means less frequency to change film.
645 is still better than 135, (now commercial E6 and C41 for 135 is getting worse).
Lens is sharp. Auto everything wont go wrong.
Perfect for tours or wedding. Wish to own one but have not done so. :(

Thanks for your comments bro.
 

If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading Medium Format Camera Reviews by Danny Gonzalez. Old info, but not much has changed in MF since, far as I know.

His website is down quite a lot. PM me if you want an alternative source.
 

Get a Hasselblad, you won't regret it ;) Worth every penny. i'm using a 500cm
 

Hasselblad 503CXi and 501CM user here.

Just be mindful that it's a steep road... really steep road.

That said, someone is selling his 500c on buy/sell fr 1300. Sounds like an ok deal.
 

Steep? Dude why do u say so? I find it pretty easy to adapt from 35mm slr to a hassy. Its basically the same stuff just bigger negative size.
