That's the 65mm f6.8 (hence the extra finder on top), I also use the 150mm f5.6 and sometimes use the ground glass back. I usually leave the grip at home, this tank is usually on a tripod. #1: (sorry, don't have a pic of mine - looks the same as the one in the link but with dark grey leatherette and mine's a bit more beat up) http://cameraquest.com/lint369.htmI use a 65mm f8, 105mm f3.5 and a 240mm f5.6. Tunnelbug, how's the Calumet? Are the movements geared, or at least well-marked? I'm still debating between a Linhof 4x5 (because, well, they're Linhofs) and a wood 4x5 field of some sort (because they're a lot lighter and, let's face it, wood is sexy).

| The movements for the tilt are only geared for a straight 90 setup. The focusing rail is well-marked, but other movements don't have markings. Honestly, for myself, I don't really look at the markings, and sort of am engrossed in the groundglass the whole time, but I suppose some people would find a need for that. Nice gear. My next goal is a MF camera for more field use. Toting around this wood field is quite ambitious, especially whilst hopping fences.

As for markings, I remembered after I asked about it that it was a field camera, not a monorail, and so markings don't really matter that much. As for toting around the 4x5, if you're looking for smaller, stay away from the shit I'm using - the Linhof is probably the same weight as your 4x5, it weighs almost as much as the 4x5 version Tech IV. The Mamiya is lighter but just as bulky, more so with the 150 mounted. Both however have the advantage of no-light focusing (except the 240 for the Linhof, I have no rangefinder focusing cam for that). Post by femaledragonxi love the kiev, ryan. and mortimer, god that mamiya universal is hot. i have a graflex 22, a rollei, and a mamiya 6, and of course a holga. don't have photos right now though. | Press, not Universal (mine's older than the Universal, has no brightframes in the rangefinder, and I think the Universal had the ability to mount Polaroid backs). Still a solid tank, and kind of funny to street shoot with a couple times a year, if only for the reactions I get. Now a Mamiya 6, that's a great camera. I keep hoping to find one of those really cheap at a garage sale or on Craigslist or something. Solid all around, probably the absolute best travelling 120 camera. Which lenses do you have for it?
| yep. |
