Instead of wading into the madness that is high tech, my Anna got me a
Mamiya 645 - looks like the original to me, with a penta-prism finder -
I don't really know a lot about it, but I'm excited to try it out. It
seems to be in great working order. It came with an 80mm f/2.8.
Does anyone have advice or pointers for a novice? I'm going to need a
light meter, I guess, although I *imagine* that I can use my *istDS to
give me an EV.
Yep. That's what I do with my Pentax 67 with non-meter prism. I use a
DSLR as a light meter. Since I usually shoot slide film in the 67, the
"expose to the right" histogram technique for setting digital exposure
suits my style well.
It's quicker and infinitely more detailed information than I could get
from any light meter (unless I did lots and lots of readings with a spot
meter, I suppose).
