#KEH CONTAX 645 MANUAL#
Again, I want something not to hard to deal with, manual focus isn't terrible nor a dealīreaker. I'm super fresh to this however and can't pinpoint what size I want, I don't care to much for square though I would The roll off is so nice and the contrast isn't as harsh as a Canon DSLR for sure. Here is what I'm looking to "mimic" also Oh hey it went through! Wonder where my other comment went. As a reminder I really want to be south of $500 total! It's murder waiting for my comment to be approved! I'm trying to communicate with you all. Why medium format? Is there any particular photography that inspired you to look into it? If so, could you name the photographer or post an image? If you have a specific look in mind, a photograph would help us help you identify at least the format, if not the camera type. Incident metering is usually the quickest and easiest method. Even with cameras with meters, you might be better off with a separate light meter. For rangefinders, you can look at not only Fuji, but Mamiya and Bronica.įor most of these cameras, you will need a light meter. Manufacturers include Hasselblad, Bronica, Mamiya, and Rollei.įor an eye-level camera, Pentax, Mamiya, and Contax made SLR models. Those can be found in 6x4.5, 6圆, and 6x7. Then there is the box-style waist-level camera. Most cameras had a fixed lens-there was a interchangeable lens model, but it is rare. There was a zoom model that has AF, but most are MF.

If you like rangefinders, the Fuji series of medium-format rangefinders are a good deal. If you want to go even cheaper, you can also look at folding cameras, but they can be prone to problems. Mamiya was the only to make one with interchangeable lenses. Rollei is the most well known and Mamiya and Yashica have excellent models. If you want to start a the low-end of the price range, then TLRs (Twin Lens Reflex) are a good place to start. 6x4.5 is the smallest and so you get the most shot per roll, but going large or using uncommon formats like the square are what sets medium-format cameras apart. I would start by thinking about the format. What do I need? Where do I start? Start to finish what can I spend (couple hundred dollar range?) and be happy and get what I'm looking for.Īlso do they meter or do I need a light meter? I was looking at a Mamiya 645 with a 1000s back because apparently the shutter speed can be set at 1/1000, which obviously is better so I don't have to stop down etc etc. So, naturally I want a minor investment as it's really just for fun. I really want to go back to the roots, shoot film and really get that interactive feel that such a camera would give. Can be seen here: Once Upon A Bride on Vimeo (It's all my content and edit etc.) In fact I shot a BTS video with Jose Villa not terribly long ago that really got me thinking about checking everything out.
I'm getting ready to go on a vacation and have done some research into the medium format genre.
#KEH CONTAX 645 FULL#
Using a full frame camera was nice and produced different results, much nicer, opinion*. naturally since I started with a Canon DSLR I was somewhat interested in photography. I'm a cinematographer that has used Canon DSLR's and other larger format cameras, FS100/700 AF100 etc. Sorry if this has been asked a million times but I'm looking to get into a medium format camera.
