Different MF cameras are "best" for different applications. You can really help the various camera/photo experts around here if you provide more information. For example: o) What kind of photography do you want to do with a MF camera? Street? Landscape? People? In the studio? Outside? Action? Still life? o) What focal lengths do you want to use? Really wide angle? Wide angle? Normal? Short tele? Long tele? o) How important are interchangeable lenses? o) How important are interchangeable backs? o) How fast do you want to work? o) What style of interface do you want/need? Waist level? SLR? Rangefinder? View Camera? o) Is autofocus important to you? o) How cost-sensitive are you? For example, if you want a system with a variety of lenses and SLR handling, then you'll want to consider the Pentax 645N and Mamiya 645AF systems. If compactness and lens interchangeabity are important and a rangefinder interface is ok, then you can look at the Mamiya 6/7/7II and Bronica RF645 systems. If you want a studio system, then all kinds of systems fit the bill (Hassy, Bronica, Mamiya Pentax 645 or 67, Rollei, etc.) and on, and on, and on. Refine you needs/desires and the dizzying variety of choices will narrow down to something reasonable.... --Mark -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
