  1. Thanks for the feedback folks! Will keep an eye out.
  2. Hey all! Just wanted to follow up. I've put a handful of rolls through the Mamiya and am really pleased with the camera. Thanks for all of the replies!
  3. Hey all! I'm been looking for a good H1 or GX645. I am having a hard time finding kits with film backs (or even just film backs on their own for that matter). Not sure what's up with that. Would appreciate any tips on where I might find such a thing but also curious to know if this is a symptom of some issue using the camera with film? Did folks just pretty much go digital only? All the best, Andrew
  4. @glen_h and [uSER=2403817]@rodeo_joe|1[/uSER] @peter_fowler Thank you all so much for the replies. I'll shoot a test and let you know :) Best, Andrew
  5. Hey all! A friend called an offered me some expired film. I've never shot expired slide before. This stuff wasn't in the fridge and it's pretty old. Think it's still worth shooting? If so, would you underrate it by like 2 stops or something? Best, Andrew
  6. [uSER=2403817]@rodeo_joe|1[/uSER] Thanks for the info! Yea my example is working really nicely. Having shot a couple rolls at 1.9 I can say that the focus is on point. I have read about the mirror-rests. If I should have that issue or others in the future... who in the US works on these guys?
  7. Thanks for the quick reply Giovanni! I've read a lot of good things about the 110 and have been pretty tempted. Do you think it would feel a bit redundant with the 80/1.9? I've read pretty mixed reviews of the 150/3.5 but also considering that as it's cheaper and smaller than the 150/2.8 or 210/4. I have heard the tele's are great but longer than 210 doesn't super interest me. I've never really owned anything longer than 135 on 35mm (never felt the urge) and I did in part choose the 645 for it's relatively compact size. All the best, Andrew
  8. Hey all! I just picked up a Mamiya 645 Pro TL. Really enjoying it so far. My kit came with: 645 Pro TL body + back 80mm 1.9 AE prism finder FE401 WG402 winder grip As well as: Waist level finder Manual winder knob I had a few questions I was hoping you all might help answer: 1. LENSES What other lenses would you recommend getting? I've been thinking about the 35/3.5, and either the 150/2.8 or the 210/4 but open to others. 2. FINDER MAGNIFICATION I find the AE prism to have relatively low magnification. Are there any "elegant" magnifiers for this finder or just the FD701? Does the sport prism finder have a higher magnification? Thanks so much for all of your help folks!
  9. <p>So @gus and folks... It seems to me like the focus may be a bit off and perhaps there is a slight issue with the shutter (there is a faint glow in the bottom right corner of some images and one had a strange glow in the middle). <br /> I've attached a gallery for reference. The images are shot on tri-x 400 at 1600 developed in D76.</p> <p>https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8ERdMtAD9tbUGNHeG9za2o5WXc&usp=sharing<br> <br /> The sequence of the room are f/2 1/1000, f/2.8 1/500, f/4 1/250, f/5.6 etc).<br /><br />What do you guys think?</p>
  10. <p>Chuck, does that make it worth more money? ;)</p>
  11. <p>Thanks for the response Gus. The camera seems to be in great shape. Smooth, quiet, RF is crisp and I got it for a pretty solid price (about $500 usd). Should I be concerned by this obscure stamp?</p> <p>Andrew</p>
  12. <p>Just wondering if you guys know who does a triangle imprint in the wax seal? I just got an M3 from KEH and it has this seemingly undocumented notation. If you know who it is... what's their reputation? </p> <p><img src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/52e60247e4b07e1802cb9cd1/t/56e77e5c2fe131ff7180833f/1458011745707/?format=2500w" alt="" width="956" height="772" /></p> <p>More pictures of the emblem here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8ERdMtAD9tbeDZmUzhZUlcxUTA&usp=sharing </p> <p>Best,<br> Andrew</p>
  13. <p>David, I feel like I have too but I tried today and they told me they don't do that.</p> <p> </p>
  14. <p>Hey guys,</p> <p>I've had an M2 for a while now and I've been thinking of getting an M3 (my eyes aren't great and I mostly use my 50mm) and don't want to spend too too much money. I don't mind the idea of scrapes, big dents might bug me a bit but there's no way of getting any specific info on the camera that you'd get. Just wondering if you guys have any thoughts on buying one in bgn condition from KEH?</p> <p>Best,<br> Andrew</p>
  15. <p>Shot this in downtown Pittsburgh. The old IBM building.<br> <img src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/52e60247e4b07e1802cb9cd1/t/56dcf2d97c65e4d744da71c8/1457320673835/?format=1500w" alt="" width="600" height="743" /></p>
