<p>I am not sure if this is the right spot to ask this question but I am interested in subscribing to a Photo magazine but I am looking more artistic side rather than commercial side. Any suggestions?<br>

Cheers<br />Alfredo Perez</p>

<p>Well I bought a Fuji GW690III to start, I think this camera will be a good jump start and I will definitely look into a SLR down the road...Guys thanks so much for such great comments and advise I learn a lot before even taking my first shot. Cheers</p>

<p>@xenophon...any chance to post the photo of the RZ and the strap...I am making a decision shortly...cheers</p>

<p>@Flavio...what strapped do you use? specific brand? for my DSLR-Shoulder-Tripod quick release I use one that I love ...made by PeakDesign but I dont think this will work for this types of camera...insert an image if you can...cheers and thanks</p>

@jim and @xenophon thanks so

much...i will continue the search

great info...cheers

<p>Thanks Flavio...thats about 5 pounds...I like the camera very much I will start watching on ebay all options...Cheers</p>

Flavio Is the rb67 around 5

pounds?...still concern about the

weight...what do u think about

bronica gs-1?

Flavio sorry I mixed the rb67

with mamiya 6...rb67 is

6x7...sorry for my

confusion...cheers

@Flavio...oppps sorry I mixed the rb 67 with mamiya 6 sorry rb 67 is 6x7 cheers

@Flavio...thanks so much Iam

really interested on those waist

level machines. Question how

small is the rb67 compare to

rz67? My concern besides weight

is the 6x6 format I dont see the

world square...other question

...can u install a digital back

and adapter down the

road?...thanks so much

<p>@Jim T...thanks so much for your comprehensive analysis and suggestions, definitely more to think but great !...cheers</p>

Roman I checked the fuji GF670

and thinks thats the way to

go...my budget is tight but I

think o can afford it. Now those

waist slr are interesting for me

to explore they look cool and fun

to learn maybe I will get a

mamiya system later. I have a

question though ...those anyone

have experience with waist slr

like rz67 using a digital and

back adapter? Does it worth

investing on an rz system waiting

for digital back to drop in price

in the future? Also considering

rz prices are affordable

now...thanks all...cheera

Thanks all...I am narrowing my

search and I must say I

understand all the implications

and limitations. My intention is

to enter and learn medium format

and for sure I will be shooting

with my 35mm...as initial step I

would like to take with me to my

business travels so I can

experiment so David you are

right weight is a consideration.

..cheers

Thanks...well the classical

concert aspect may have created a

confusion, I dont shot w film

during performances, I use my

dslr. What I do is take portraits

of musician steady or staged for

the photo

 

The mamiya 7 is prob a little

eexpnsive at this moment however

I think this is tge camera that

fits my needs.

 

Question how big are the mamiya

rb-rz 67 compare to a bronica gs-

1?

 

Cheers

<p>Guys I am new to the forum but I have read tons of post in photo.net in other forum....first let me thanks for your kindness in taking time to respond with such insightful knowledge. I have to clarify something, I shoot Classical Music Concerts for several organizations with my DSLR (due to the noise and practicality), however I take artistic shots during rehearsal and practice room with my film, so noise is not an issue in his dimension...the constraint is low light some times. My main concern is that due to my limit budget now, I can afford only one camera for all my purposes and the size of the waist level is a concern and the RZ-67 seems huge! ...Cheers </p>

<p>I am looking to enter in the medium format B&W world; I have been shooting 35 mm SLR for quite some time. I am interested in 6x7 format and I know what I mostly do street photography (travel), classical music concerts (indoor activities in general) and some landscapes. It seems that the preferred system would be a rangefinder or SLR (such as Pentax 67, or Fuji), but it caught my attention the SLR waist finder systems such as Mamiya RZ-67, RB-67 or Bronica GS-1, but all looks pretty big and heavy. I know camera advice is very subjective but I would greatly appreciate any comments. Also does anyone know a link or have a photo where I can see side-by-side size images of the aforementioned cameras so I can get a good size idea </p>
