I opted for the 50mm lens I can guesstimate the 50mm framing with the viewfinder without needing to carry the additional 43mm external viewfinder that mounts on the hotshoe. As there are multiple lenses available you don’t need to stick to the 43mm lens. It allows you to capture lots of detail and is not too heavy to carry around. I feel it is best suited to packing lightish hiking up mountains landscape photography or like me, travelling by bike travel photography.
#Mamiya 7 ii viewfinder portable#
Mamiya 7 landscape photography! The camera is much more portable than a 4×5 camera and 120 film is easier to process and cheaper to buy. Perhaps the number one reason you would consider buying a Mamiya 7 camera. The photo below is perhaps my sharpest 7 image to my eyes though light plays an important factor (as with every photo!) What genre of photography will you use your Mamiya 7 for? 9 Types of photography explained: 1.
Apparent sharpness can be affected by factors such as contrast and I would argue many of my other cameras produce visibly sharper and certainly more pleasing photos to my eyes. Again perhaps stupidly, I think I assumed high-resolution equals better apparent sharpness and a more pleasing photo. Even if this is true on the chart data I have not seen it with real world photos. It seemed common opinion across the internet that the 7 will produce higher resolution photos than all my other film cameras. My high expectations of the Mamiya 7 would always result in disappointmentĪfter reading all these rave reviews I bought the Mamiya 7 camera with high expectations. It always seemed to be the new digital camera vs the 7. When digital cameras were starting to catch up film camera resolution one of the benchmark tests seemed to always be the “Mamiya 7 vs Nikon D800” (etc). This is indeed true and a fair comment but I had seen so many other glowing reviews about this camera on other websites too. Most of you are probably saying to yourself “Well Matt it’s your fault for be stupid and believing all you read!”. I tend to shoot portraits but I also do wedding photography and the occasional building or landscape photo so I thought maybe the 43mm lens would be useable and useful for some of my photography work. I already have a Mamiya 6 camera and many of the other highly regarded film cameras but I was looking for better. I convinced myself this was THE pinnacle of film cameras for a guy who likes great image quality from analogue technology. Talking from my own experience I can confirm that I bought my Mamiya 7 because of reason #2 & #3 above (mostly #2) and quite liked the idea of #4 also.
