It's coming up on Christmas and I want to build a portfolio of

Christmas light displays - people put so much into them I'd like to

record them. I'm interested in both private (homes) and commercial.

I tried last year with my Mamiya 645 and negative film (PRN, I think)

and 80A filter but I wasn't satisfied with my results. So, I will

take any advice you are willing to share with me and thanks in

advance.

Try the Mamiya site at www.mamiya.com - they have a wonderful "Ask

Mamiya" feature and can answer just about anything.

There are several by different manufacturers including Mamiya. I

have a Rokunar which I don't need anymore and will sell if you'll

contact me.

I'm very happy using the LowePro OmniPro case for my Mamiya 645

outfit - body with powerdrive and AE prism, four lenses to 300mm,

three backs plus two boxed inserts, polaroid back, exposure meter and

several cokin P filters plus the usual little "stuff". Looks like a

briefcase and can hang on my shoulder. Also, it will go in a Pelican

hardcase (though I don't use one). Recommend it highly at less than

$150.

I've got a similar situation (big outfit) except with a Mamiya 645. I'm using the Tamrac 652 Rolling Strongbox with complete satisfaction. When I pull up the handle, I get a perfect place to put my flash bag and then I just walk away pulling the whole thing. Also, the 652 is nearly twice as wide as the 646, and you'll need the room for your lenses. Good luck.
