I was at the Real Camera shop in Manchester and saw a Mamiya medium format camera in person. I wish I had the 800 pounds to drop on it 😅 Bought an amber lens filter instead to see if I can get better colors in this weather.

@Gargron

must have been a used mamiya

that would be a specialist camera for technical or fine art work

@Gargron

How much would a single photo cost in terms of negatives and development? On top of the camera.

@Gargron My roommate in college was a photography major and she did some amazing things with a Mamiya RZ67, very cool tech

@Gargron Nice! I bought my Konica C35 from there. They had me pricing up a Leica iii as well, and I now regret not pulling the trigger.

@Gargron don't get caught in trying toys, we all do, but it's far better to fully know and use your AE1P ;-) I can condone new lenses though ahah

@Gargron well, I fear 400 kg could damage it seriously

@Gargron You probably already know this, but the Mamiyaflex twin lens medium format cameras are extra cool because they have interchangeable lenses, or at least, mine did.
