Hi All,
Having had a holga CFN for a while now (and spent a fortune on about 2-3 decent shots!) i'd love to buy a 'proper' MF camera. I've been skulking around on ebay as I am a student and as such looking for something cheap and dirty so to speak...
at the moment it looks like the Mamiya M645 is in my price range..although I have days left on the auction. There is also a Bronica ETRS and Bronica SQ-A. I know next to nothing about these but was wondering if anyone had any advice on which to go for - the Bronic SQA comes with 3 lenses (50, 80, 150mm) and is going for around £80 (will go up) but the Mamiya is very cheap at present but comes with one 80mm lens. The ETRS comes with 75mm lens..
Also, is a TLR much better than a SLR MF? I know there is the whole issues of parralex error etc..
anyway, just buying it for my own pleasure so any input always appreciated!
olly
