![]() Not only that, but getting only eight shots on a roll of 120 (the 16 on 220 was nice, though-if you shoot colour and can still find 220 film and get it processed in your area it really killed me when Ilford stopped making 220 B&W) slowed things down, too. It produced truly excellent images, but was a bit large and unwieldy for what it was: a rangefinder, the purpose of which generally is for quick and spontaneous shooting. To me, a Blad and 80 mm lens are very portable-really, about as much so as either of the two cameras you're looking at in my own opinion. Mmmmm, I don't know if I'd make that trade. I'll look up your web site / blog and say hi there too. At the end of the day it gets down to functional needs and personal likes. Im a landscape photographer hassle free carrying is the way to go for me :) I don't know the FUJI GW690 at all. ![]() ![]() I do prefer 6x7 as a format and the Mamiya is much easier to carry. ![]() In film cameras I also have a Horseman SW612. The Mamiya 6 is also brilliant, better I'm told by others but I've never tried it. I like a camera that just gets out of the way and lets me be the photographer. its so easy to carry anywhere, really outstanding lenses and so simple to operate. On the subject of cameras I have many but my favourite is my Mamiya 7II. Film has been a great teacher, I've never looked back. I was still new to photography at the time and felt that digital was not helping me learn what I wanted to learn about photography so I switch to film. I started with digital and quickly went to film for my serious work.
