What you are saying about the Mamyia 645 is very interesting. Let us know more about it. Sometimes, I wish I had a medium-format camera. This may be an affordable way of getting into medium format. I would only use it occasionally when I cannot coax the quality from the 35mm film and Leica lenses and enlarger. Incidentally, I believe that the 120 film is better, in terms of fog level, than any of the 35mm films. Am I correct?
