I've wanted a mamiya 6 or 7 for ages now; its been the camera one dreams of but can never really justify the expenditure for. However! Now I'm of the opinion 'sod it, I'll just save and sell as much crap as I can in the mean time'.
Because of the price I'm interested in the mamiya 6 and 50mm lens combo, rather than the mamiya 7, with the possibility of adding the 75mm later. Having used my 645 super for a good while now, I'm finding that I'm not using grads on anything other than large format and I'd really like a square format camera again. My main concern is the RF focusing, which I've only had limited exposure to thus far, however I'll come back to that shortly.
So what are peoples' opinions of the mamiya 6? Pros and cons please! Anyone moved away from the mamiya 6 in favour of a different system? Anyone moved to a mamiya 6 from a similar system?
Finally, I've never actually held one. This is something I would really like to remedy before doing anything that's hard to undo; such as selling my 645. Is anyone coming to any of the fusty and crusty meets planning on bringing one that I might admire in person?
Aaaaaaaaand..... Go
