Sun Apr 03, 2005 11:14 am Recently I've been feeling a bit stale, photographically speaking, so I borrowed a Mamiya 6 medium format rangefinder (http://www.kenrockwell.com/mamiya/6.htm) and shot a few rolls of B&W film with it.
I haven't used a rangefinder since I was in school, so was curious to find out if I could get comfortable with it after a couple of years with all automatic DSLRs.
It was quite a different experience as it was my first time with the 6x6 format, and also my first time with B&W film. I like the results, but am thinking about how to justify the cost of a Mamiya 6 or 7. I like the square format, so am leaning to the Mamiya 6, but I'm worried about service and repairs as it's been out of production for a while.
Anyway, you can see some of the results here:
