Ive just been to collect some photos from my local lab and the guy there (curse him!!) handed me a Bronica MF camera body, lens and [prism. The meter doesnt work inn the prism but the rest is immaculate, and all for about 150 quid.
Almost cheap enough to "have a go". Ive never used MF at all, but looking on Photosig (raises eyebrows and rolls eyes) the MF images ccertainly look better than anything coming off the 20D sensor. Richer, deeper and just better.
Or am I talking myself into something here?
Anyone got any experiences?
Not direct. But thirty years ago I felt I needed to supplement my 35-mm cameras with 2 1/4" sq. (TLRs in my case, Yashicamat, Relleiflex, Mamiya 220). Bad move, for I never was comfortable with them; plus I found 2 1/4 sq. film a PITA in the darkroom.
Ornament, yes, as others have suggested. But not as a working camera, especially in theese days of digital. (I've finally warmed to my EOS 450D after stubbornly wanting it to act like a Pentax Spotmatic).
Best regards,
Jon
