Mamiya 7 Revisited

I did a short review of a Mamiya 7 kit I bought some time back and was not overly impressed with the near legendary camera. So I decided to do a follow up after a few more years and importantly a few more rolls.

Good to see you using more color film, I have always had a preference for color over monochrome. And the Mamiya 7 set up does not disappoint! I would love to see a book of your photos taken on that camera and color film.

Thanks, but I have not had much luck with my books. See the video about that misadventure.

I felt that way about shooting my Bronica S2 - 120 film was only 10 exposures and dev scans was only possible at a lab. I quickly gave up on medium format, even though I had previously convinced myself “it was the way to great, timeless images like all the record covers from The vinyl days” I’m back on 35mm exclusively and I do prefer the film economy. I still look at medium format though like the Mamiya 7 with a certain curiosity…

It is should be all about preference, but sadly price plays a pretty big role in what gear we can afford to buy and how much film we can afford to shoot. I already spent over $2000 on the Mamiya and 2 lenses do spending and extra $300 to buy and develop another dozen roll was a drop in the bucket. But if film was cheaper and developing easier to find I would have shot far more over 2020-2023.

I have the Mamiya 6. Great camera. If you can't afford 120 film, don't shoot it. That said, I develop my own B&W and color, so I save that way.

The 43 is equivalent to a 21, and the 65 is equivalent to a 31. I've used the 65mm the whole time I've had a Mamiya 7 and I can certainly never blame the camera or lens if I take a bad photo. The Kodak Gold looks nice though, kinda dusty neutral colours

Wasn't sure doing and eyeball comparison I could tell the 43 was wide but it looked very close to 24 on the horizontal but wider on the vertical. Not sure that is a perfect comparison since the format is notably different.

@@andrewsmithphoto Yeah it’s tricky. I know the 65 is wider than a 35 equivalent because I have to use the 28 setting on my flash or else it doesn’t cover the whole frame
