It makes more sense to get the Mamiya 6 75mm than an entire new camera right? It's the one lens i don't have, it's the focal length I like the best. But then again a fuji 6x9 for less money.

Every time someone posts something from a Pentax 6x7 I really want one. I got the chance to hold one today and wow it's big, I knew it was big but gently caress is it hella big. Kind of tempered that want a little bit.

Fuuuuuck. My mamiya 6 just totally locked up this morning. Won't wind, won't let me close the dark slide to take the lens off. Super bummed.

I forgot all about the Pentacon Six, that's probably where I'll go from here (and I'm guessing the Mamiya Six is the older model, because the newer one is >$1,000).

Two different products from two very different companies. Mamiya is Japanese, Pentacon is German.

Additionaly the Pentacon six is a mechanical slr and the Mamiya is a rangefinder that requires batteries, with only 3 lenses available. There is an older mechanical Mamiya 6 that is a folding range finder with an attached lens.

I used regular-rear end hardware store ‘liquid electrical tape’ to patch a pinhole light leak in a cloth shutter curtain before with no ill effects, would that not be sufficient to patch light leaks in a bellows? I guess maybe it wouldn’t tolerate repetitive stretching and folding?

I used liquid electric tape to fix a leak the bellows of my Fuji GS645 folder and its held up opening and closing for several years. I sadly haven’t used it recently.

Would anyone here who’s shot Portra 400 on multiple different 120 cameras and in particular also with the electronic Mamiya 6 characterize that camera’s lenses’ color rendition as somewhat muted compared to the likes of Zeiss or Pentax?

I have a Mamyia 6. I wouldn't say the colors are muted but the meter in mine wants to slightly under expose almost all of the time, more so if the sky above is brighter than what the camera is pointing at, but those shots are pretty obviously under exposed. My only comparison is a Fuji GS645 that I have not shot with that much, and I've never scanned my own 120 color film.

I just replaced the bellows on my Fuji GS645 Pro. I did not think folding and gluing the fabric to the metal plates that hold it in place would be by far the most difficult part.
