<p>Thanks Brian S. Have you used the Mamiya system? Any major problems/ issues besides the massive size as compared to the blads?</p>

<p>Thanks for the Info Keith S. I will check out Ken's info. As for the blads on the moon, 1st virgin flight I'll be there to grab one for each of us :-) </p>

<p>Hi all in the process of choosing a system and asking several questions about Mamiya and Hasselblad. Right now I own a nikon dslr. My question is I had an 85mm-1.8 105mm and have used the 200mm f2 on nikon in the past (Also the stellar 70-200mm 2.8) I was wondering which lens would be equivalent to say the nikon 85mm or nikon 105 or 200. I'm basically wondering what you guys/gals consider the ultimate portrait lens and focal length for this system. I know that the 35mm equivalents are much shorter so a 90mm nikon is much smaller on medium format. So I guess I'm looking for a 105 & above equivalent. Would love to see any links or pics of peoples work shooting this system and or Hasselblad. Thank you all in advance.<br> Regards<br> Anthony</p>

<p>Hello All. I'm just starting to get into medium format film photography. I've been looking online and asking a few questions. I've been told that If I go the hasselblad route, I should look at one of the 2 cameras above as there fairly new and parts availability would be better. I've also read that some people who use digital backs on older blads like the 500c or c/m have reported problems ( that would be much further down the road for me). So just wanted to get a general consensus of which you fine medium format shooters would pick. Money is definitely an object, (as in my next post i'm also looking at a mamiya rz67). My main goal would be to start shooting more film. I would also be willing to buy a new flatbed scanner and the chemicals to develop b&W at home to archive. Thanks in advance for any hel</p> <p>Regards</p> <p> </p>

<p>Thanks. Haven't tried the 7 frames etc... More so just concerned abt the grip functioning properly. Thanks Shaun I figured that. More than likely the grip is defective.</p>

<p>Hello All. I purchased a flahpoint grip for my nikon d810 ( I know its best just to buy right the 1st time) so the grip works well when there are 2 batteries inserted. If I only have the battery in the grip I get the dead battery icon. and the camera will not turn on. If I have a batt in the body and in the grip everything works as should be. I was just wondering is this a grip issue or even with the nikon branded battery grip will I have the same issue. </p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help with this matter. </p>

<p>Hi was just wondering if anyone has this problem with their v1 200mm f/2. When I initially attach the lens to the body, I get like a high pitch screeching sound. After a couple of seconds of the lens going back and forth everything is ok and the noise is gone. Just wondering if this is normal or is there a problem. Also, I would like to sell this lens as it is the best lens I never use. So with that in mind I would like to also know what would be a good price to post the lens for. The body and glass is in excellent shape I got it second hand. I only kept the manual and bag ditched the box and everything else. Thanks in advance for any help with this topic. </p>
