I have been behind one camera or another for over 55 years. Use them all from Minox, to Deardorf 8X10... I am still working as a freelance photographer in my own business. The camera I use most is the Mamiya C-33.....Bought it five years ago at a camera show. I got the camera and a 80mm lens plus a 135mm lens for $275.00...The
condition was listed as a 8+. Just booked a job today today, ans I used my Mamiya C-33... God I love that friggen camera. Never had a bad day with it yet. Yes I had a Hasselblad too...but you need to rob a bank every so often to any of their products. I have a full 2 1/4 and
I can buy any lens I want at a reasonable price. I am looking at the 55mm wide, at a used price of $300 in a 8+ condition. One last point
the camera is built like a tank...don't drop it on your foot, you'll be in a cast for months.... I do table top photography of products, and I can
focus as close as 6 inches with out any close-up attachments.
