My super ikontas, as asked before, are giving me superb pictures.
In BW there are only minor differences thru My better Rolleiflex and they're are very portable.

Can anyone share their experiences with mamiya 645 200mm f2.8 apo lens?
How well will it work with mamiya 2x to get 400mm f5.6?
thanks

I've was told by a couple of techies that removing the front element from my
Mamiya RB67 90mm lens, would make it a 140mm soft focus lens.  As the 90mm
focal length isn't that useful for me, I decided to give it a try.  I took
the lens to a reputable repair shop and told him what ...

SO, I'm getting into MF photography after having been out of any sort of
photography for a long time.  My favorite color film has always been
Kodachrome (mostly): there's nothing better for sunsets and russet
landscapes (I live on the edge of the Great Plains).

I bet you all have read questions like these soooo many times before....
But....
I'm taking my first steps in medium format. After some research and
sleepless nights dreaming on eBay and the internet, now I'm the proud owner

I have a Pentax II, but did not get the wooden handgrip.  Is this hand
grip necessary to interface a flash unit ?  It appears that the
connectors are in the body and the handgrip just holds the unit and
provides a hot shoe which has to plug into the body anyway. Can I not

I have used a very basic Tundra light meter (cost $60) for my medium format
Agfa folder and Mamiya M645 for the last several years. Often I also use my
Canon Digital Rebel or  Elan 7N readings for these cameras, but there are
times in the future where I will be trying to cut down ...

I'm very upset. I hired a couple models for a couple shoots I was doing this
past weekend and apparently I have no idea what I'm doing with my RB67. I got
all 4 rolls of film back and they were both so dark that you couldn't even see
any frame marks whatsoever.

would you give a 100 $  for a working kiev 80 , with 65 mm lens and light
meter.
thanks

I have an Agfa Isolette II with a Compur-rapid with a Solinar 85mm lens. The
unit has been reconditioned and I love the pictures that it takes. However,
I get some lens flare that ruins some of the pictures. I know to keep the
sun behind me and the pictures come out great. However, ...

I am using a Mamiya RB67.  I live in the Milwaukee area.  While a local
store processes the color film, B&W is sent out for processing.  With
the color film, I request full frame, and the local store is able to
deliver 4x5 prints with a small white border on the top and bottom.

I just bought a Mamiyaflex C220 Professional F with no user manual.
It looks like a straightforward camera to use, but I don't know how to
load it, in that there is no "start" mark on or near the film guide
rails with which to line up the "start" arrows on the film backing.

I want to get a prism for my 500CM for fast, casual shooting (such as
at a party), so that I don't get weird upward-angled shots of everyone.
I'm leaning towards a 90-degree for maximum camera height, and I don't
need metering.  I would like an accessory shoe on top.  I see quite a
