The one 6×7 camera I’d love is the Fuji 667 folder, but here in the UK it is available only as the rebadged Voigtlander Bessa III.
The Mamiya RB & RZ cameras are too difficult to use unless on a tripod. Yes 6×7 is too big for weddings or for any other commercial applications. Autofocus and built in dioptre correction are wonderful features. If you own a 645 camera and would like to get some lenses for it, eBay has a range of options from which you can choose. This camera eventually led to a larger brand name that produces several products now. The 645 and G2 are my favourite ‘modern’ cameras, especially as I detest shooting wearing spectacles. The Contax 645 began as a medium-format camera within the Zeiss line back in 1932. You can probably tell that I’m a Contax fan. It is just that some camera/lens combinations are not about price but about results and pleasure to use. The lenses are very good but they are not Zeiss.Īfter all, you shoot Leica, why are you talking about value for money?ĭon’t take this the wrong way. It is true that the Mamiya system is a lot cheaper but it is not as good. Ahorra con nuestra opción de envío gratis. In any case the Contax has a WLF as an option (ok it is expensive on ebay). La mayor selección de Contax 645 en objetivos para cámaras a los precios más asequibles está en eBay. The waist level finder is pointless on a 645 unless it has a rotating back, as portrait format is unusable.

Manual focus is as natural as on any camera, other than a very slight drag of the focus ring.

I sold my Contax and didn’t lose any money for about £1800. As such I think the Mamiya 645 cameras offer fantastic value for money when you consider the price of a Contax.

When I look at the Mamiya M645 Super and more so the Mamiya 645 Pro range they are so similar to the Contax 645 with the DSLR like grip option, film back and film inserts, prism viewfinder and the Zeiss 80mm f2 lens on the Contax 645 is very close to the Mamiya Sekor C 80mm f1.9 lens. I then saw a good value Mamiya M645 Super on eBay with WLF yesterday and much preferred the look, controls layout, modular film back and the fact that it looks like a mini Mamiya RZ67 Pro II that I have. I haven’t used it as I wanted to get a waist level viewfinder (“WLF”) to replace the TTL prism viewfinder. It was just too DSLR like compared to some of the older film cameras I was now using.

I later sold the Contax 645 as found it too automated for my liking. Buy & sell used cameras, lenses, gear, & other photography equipment at KEH Cameras online store. The Contax 645 portraits I had seen online from fashion photographers and wedding photographers seem to be unmatched by any other camera / lens combination.
The Contax 645 was my first medium format camera and my reason to move into the world of film photography. Mamiya 645 vs Contax > You can buy a Mamiya 645 for a 1/6 of the price of a Contax 645!!
