http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/mf/ I've happily used the Mamiya 7 and four of the six available lenses for the past four years. If your project requires hand-held work, or requires portability, the Mamiya 7 (or the 6x6 Mamiya 6) could work for you. A discussion of the Mamiya may be veering off topic, but if you'd like to investigate further, we can chat outside of the group. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
