Mamiya 645 - First Impressions

[@johnjeninga4786]

Thanks for the video I have had a 645 Mamiya for nearly 40 years. I purchased it with a plain prism that doesn’t have a light meter and and hand grip that has the shutter release built in the handle. Both of those things made the handling of the camera much more fluid and intuitive.

Thank you, i’m looking out for both of those parts and i’m glad to hear they worked out well for you! I’m hoping to get the prism first, then the grip 🤞

Very cool Harry … I have a mamiya 645 1000s it’s such a beautiful thing … You will start dreaming of owning a hasselblad 500cm at some stage trust me 😅 I just got one and will be trying it out very soon !!!! Keep on shooting on Tommy 👍.

Hey Tommy, i do like the 645 it is very nice, i’ve wanted a Hasselblad for a while but not 100% sure on 6x6 format, let me know how yours come out!!

Hey Harry at 1/30th you definitely need to tripod … I’m sure you’ve worked that out 👍

Thank you man, i always forget to bring it anywhere!!

It has nothing to do with film and everyhting to do with the photographer.

i’d agree but the film has definitely helped me in some situations, having more latitude and margin for error with certain films has saved me before!
