[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]After a couple of years of drooling over it, yesterday I purchased a Mamiya 7 II along with 80mm and 50mm lenses and 35 adapter. After less than 12 hours of handling and shooting it I find the ergonomics impressive. The rangefinder patch is quite Leica-like although not quite as bright. The contrast is fine. I have not yet processed any film but will soon. This will replace my seldom used Koni-Omega (now for sale for $150 + shipping) as well as my Yashica Mat 124G (also for sale) Mamiya is sending me a 6x7 projector and I'm looking forward to the huge transparencies. (may also have a 6x6 projector for sale soon. Any LUGgers using the 7 or 7 II? Oddities of operation that I should be aware of? (And why did Mamiya make the meter to change pattern with different lenses?) Ken Wilcox - ------------------ Ken Wilcox Carolyn's Personal Touch Portraits LAW LHSA MEA <wilcox@tir.com>
