deaders posted:No idea, this one seems good and it had just been posted across the country. I hope that it doesn't need adjustment too often but right now the closer focused shots at f4 seem accurate, and the stuff at f16 that I scale focused is very sharp as well. Just a word of warning, with rangefinders you're usually not really gonna notice if it's slightly off at mid-short distances. Like I said, my Mamiya initially was misaligned but the close-up shots looked fine enough. The shots shot at 4-5m (10-15feet) range were drastically off though. It makes sense if you think of it as rangefinder movement (the patch always moves the same distance) vs actual distance. Like the patch moves 1mm and you close focus then maybe that 1mm means like 10cm at most. But if you focus at 5m that 1mm rangefinder patch movement can suddenly mean almost a meter difference. Which is easily noticeable.

Are there any notable landscape photographers/pools/galleries/whatever for people shooting with Mamiya 7s? I feel like the pools and tag searches on Flickr are really selling that system short, compared to other systems.

There are quite a few. https://www.flickr.com/photos/woutervandevoorde/ is one of the best on flickr in my opinion. https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianmcswain/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/35336382@N00/ Not strictly landscape but she has a really good eye and quite original approach https://www.flickr.com/photos/williamswishwellingtons/ Pretty sure he uses a Mamiya 7 as well

Oh, I wasn't doubting there was good stuff (especially the last one) - I think the rangefinder aspect lends itself to a more casual style compared to a Blad or something, so that's what I was seeing frequently. Thanks for the links, that's some good stuff. From the first link: https://flic.kr/p/nFG5dv

There's a button hidden under the leather along the top, should release the front (it drops down, and you pull the standard along the metal tracks). From the pictures it looks to me like a 4x5 Crown Graphic, would be written on the front standard once you open it though.

Putrid Grin posted:Low rez scan from my Mamiya Press. Wow I've had film pinched, bent and scratched but never torn...  ... did you walrus that?If nothing helps you could do what I did and pop out those little metal ball bearings in the flange. I have to push in the film manually, but got quite good at it. Basically you hold the film between your fingers and unroll only a tiny bit and then push the roll and your fingers holding it towards the reel (slowly). The advantage is no more pinched or otherwise chewed up film, because now you will immediately notice resistance, also you can always take the film back out (again slowly!) if there are major problems. No more hosed up half-loaded rolls.

How tricky are non-rangefinder folding cameras? I'm considering something like a Zeiss Ikonta / Ercona or Moskva to take with me on work trips, since my TLR is a bit bulky. I'm a bit worried that my distance estimating ability is poo poo, but maybe it's something you learn quickly? Or do you just stop down enough to give yourself a solid margin of error?

I've found them to be nothing but annoying TBH. I never really photograph what I was aiming to, as you can look through the view finder at a number of angles that feel right, but the resultant framing on the film is always off. A Fuji GS645 might be an option. Spedman fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Jan 17, 2015 |

I have A Zeiss Ikonta 512 that I shoot regularly and honestly, it's a pain in the rear end. I use the fastest film I can get, close the aperture down and try to use hyperfocal distance as much as possible. You also shouldn't use colour film on them, since the lens are usually designed for black and white film and will have weird colour casting/fringing/whatever. Get a Yashica TLR, they're really loving small.

I have a Yashica Mat 124 and love it...was just hoping for something a bit slimmer that I can slide into a small day pack. And the 6x9 format is enticing if I want to take it hiking and do semi-panoramic landscapes.

The Ikonta's with rangefinders aren't very much more, you can pick up a worn but functional 532 for ~$100 on the 'bay. You will be surprised at how heavy they are though.

They're great fun. Also, a quick google tells me B&H is currently out of stock of the Fuji GF670, but when they get more in they sell for $1750. A Moskva 5 is like $100 on eBay.

Or get a Super Ikonta 533/16 for like $200-300 (or a 532/16 for a bit less) and have all the sharpness and focus you need. When cleaned their rangefinder is better than my Fuji GW690's rangefinder. Which it has no right to be, but there you go - Both of these were shot wide open at f/2.8. Which is considered hella fast on MF anyway.  https://flic.kr/p/qpKdKu https://flic.kr/p/qaBgj8

Yeah you'll be a little surprised at how well they actually perform given the limitations. Just set it at hyperfocal and don't worry about it. The Agfa folder I got from Pompous Rhombus actually makes some pretty sharp images.
