HI Elson, IF you are going the MF route please do
not get the RB. The RZ is the better of the two cameras, much more reliable,
built better (especially the backs) and do not require the two step process to
advance the film and cock the shutter. I worked a rental outfit here in the Also if you ever can get your hands on one
they made a really cool 37mm fisheye (full frame) that is a real blast to play
with. FWIW the digital would be the better
choice. Pol film is a hassle,
messy, and in a high humidity environ like PI a pain in the patoot. The other camera that you might try on for
size is the Pentax 67. 35mm style great glass,
inexpensive today easy to use. Drawbacks are no multi back capability, Pols are spotty at best and They
only have 1 shutter lens so that you can synch at something other than 90 sec. Take care Les Baldwin -----Original Message----- Thanks to you all who replied to my questions. I'm
collecting all your inputs and then our office will decide what to do. We are
considering two options: a Nikon D70 or a used Mamiya RB 67 Pro S with the
following accessories: ·
One film back ·
One Polaroid back ·
One 90mm lens ·
One 180mm lens The cost of the RB is US$ 805. Seems pretty reasonable
for me. But we have to consider other things like weight. The RB is quite
interesting. Among other capabilities, it can accommodate a digital back,
though the price is quite high for me. I cannot figure out why there are no
digital backs for my Nikon F4, and for other film SLRs. -- Nazca Graphic Design & Photographyhttp://nazca.sni.ph/Kindelen Enterpriseshttp://nazca.sni.ph/kindelen/ |
