I owned a couple mamiya C33s and all 7? of the lens sets for about a dozen years until I sold them for the Pentax 67 system. The bodies never let me down and the lenses were all excellent but not quite as good as the superb P67 lenses in terms of contrast. I used them mostly for B&W with great results. There are two accessories that are a must. 1. the prism finder and 2. the hand grip. The camera is very awkward without these items but unfortunately the prism is costly..... JCO

It was very helpful. By the way, I work a few blocks away from the biggest camera store here in Edmonton, and I often walk over on lunch breaks. I had been wanting to try some medium format but the price scares me, anyway a guy working at the store had an old mamiya c33 twin lens reflex which seems to be in pretty good shape and he sold it to me for $150 Canadian. Pretty good deal I think. Too bad winter is starting (Edmonton usual gets pretty brutal winters and they usually start around this time) Greg Cooper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Collin Brendemuehl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 6:07 AM Subject: Re: new to list and a question > Greg, > > Welcome. > I sell a lot on eBay and prefer to only ship to US & Canada. > dpconsult.com > Several packages have been lost in overseas shipments and > nobody likes the situation.
