Not so surprised. I've been eyeing up a few Mamiya 7 and 6 cameras on ebay, but am running short on funds just now. Fantastic cameras and lenses.

I like the fact he thinks that both are viable, i had a feeling it was going to be a "film is great and all you digital guys are going to hell" advert.
We are fortunate on this forum that no one gloats over their use of film.... but... there are people out there who EXPECT kudos because they have used film when the image itself is weak, it has to be about the image and people using what they are comfortable with... oh yeah and hipsters who think it's cool

And vice versa - those who claim digital is superior in every way. I think the whole argument is childish. Use what inspires you. End of.

i remember the world went through a phase of thinking that anything taken with the Fuji X100 was obviously genius.... I hated the fuji's for that. As you say Rob, whatever works for you is right

I agree. But film IS better
it's funny but i've had arguments over this for years, still never found an answer yet. I still maintain there is only 2 film cameras i would ever consider owning and they could well be £1500+ so i'll stick with digital

I shot with a friend's Mamiya 7 for a while Rob. Its feel is a little plasticy,...but what a camera! (I'll have one some day!)

I can't decide between the 6 and the 7. If only they did a 6.5

It would be the 7 for me, Rob. I like the 6 x 7 format.I can't decide between the 6 and the 7. If only they did a 6.5

Me too. I have it with the RB67, but that's a bugger to lug around. OK, I'll need both the 6 and the 7!
