#Mamiya 6 vs 7 Patch

If you could only own and use one lens for everything, which would you prefer between the 50 and 75? Is one really more versatile for everyday use? I am not an owner of the Mamiya 6, but I am trying to save up for one. Due in part to the symmetrical design of the Mamiya 50mm, and the Zeiss is a retrofocal lens due to the mirror in the blad. I mean I think it is sharper than my Zeiss 50mm CFi/FLE blad lens. That said, the 50mm, is definitely the sharpest. I have all 3 and would recommend any of them.

I had all three lenses, but sold the 50 and 150 because it is so much easier to work with the 75. To me, the big advantage of the 75 is that the viewfinder area is bigger than the coverage of the lens, so that you can see things outside the lens's field of view and react accordingly. i have not ran any film through my Mamiya 6 yet but am very excited. Hi - Just wondering if you bought the 50mm? i have the 50 and want to add the 75mm. I'm talking mostly about sharpness/contrast/color etc. Is there a major noticeable difference in results from the 50mm vs the 75mm? Obviously the 50 is wider. I'm thinking of replacing the 75 with the 50mm lens. It can be stuffed anywhere in your luggage.I just got a Mamiya 6 with the 75mm lens. Aside from the Rollei TLR, it is the only 120 camera ideal for traveling. The only delicate part is the exposure meter due to the lengthy wiring to the viewfinder and is prone to failure. I It has the best viewfinder/rangefinder I've ever seen. The Nikkor lens is really incomparably sharp with great contrast and superb color rendering. It was always a special camera with the ability to fold up to an ultra compact form, and when the Japanses took over the camera, they also took over the Bauhouse form and produced something very special. They made excellent cameras and the optics were always way above average and are much desired today long after the company ceased to make cameras or anything else for that matter. I'll not say anything negative about the Mamiya. I bought a Makina 67 about 18 months ago. No vibration whatsoever! 6x7 Velvia 50 scans on my Epson V-750 yields 150MP images that are breathtaking and razor sharp. The leaf shutter allows for hand-held shots down to 1/8s. My holy trinity of lenses are the 43mm, 80mm, and 150mm. In an age of digital manipulation, every photographer needs to own a film camera for truth, history, and posterity. I knew these cameras would be instant classics due to their special niche. The Mamiya 7 II adds multiple exposure over the regular 7, otherwise theyвЂ™re essentially the same camera. These are the reasons why I bought the Mamiya 7 II 16 years ago over the Plaubel Makina. You wonвЂ™t see much of a difference with a 4x loupe, but on a 8x loupe, the Mamiya 7 II lenses are clearly sharper. The Mamiya 7 II holds better alignment over time, film advance is more reliable, more rugged and less fragile, and more importantly, the lenses are sharper than the Plaubel Makina. The advantages of the Mamiya 7 II over the Plaubel Makina are substantial.

But he found a lot to like about the Mamiya, including an easier-to-see rangefinder patch and slightly shaper lenses. Ultimately, for Hamish's shooting style, the Makina came out on top. 35mmc's Hamish Gill had the unusual opportunity to shoot with both back-to-back, and crown a personal favorite. But rarely are they directly compared to one another, until now. The interchangeable lens Mamiya 7 and fixed / collapsible lens Plaubel Makina 67 are titans of the medium format world, and both still command quite high prices on today's used market.
