Re: Recommendations for medium format camera

Mamiya RZ-67 or, cheaper and still wonderful, Mamiya RB-67. Heavy
beast, so you'll need a really hefty tripod. Best thing about these
cameras is the rotating back, and second best is the quick-change film
holders to allow easy switching from color to B&W.

Given the speed of technological advances in digital photography, I
wouldn't buy a new camera. Who knows how long it will be before digital
medium format is affordable by ordinary mortals? Sooner rather than
later, I suspect.
