Title: MF - Working with Film or Digital?
Post by: samuel_js on February 28, 2007, 09:38:45 am

Hi all. I'm wondering how the transition to digital is going with medium format. Note that my questions are about how you take your pictures (the capture) not after-processing or scanning etc...
Thank's

Samuel

Hi samuel, one year ago I bought a p25 back and for my commercial work I use it 100%  with contax 645. it's perfect.  
for my art work I use film with mamiya RZ 67 becosus i'm more sure and mamiya rz is my favourite camera for the waist level finder the rotation back, and whwn you see inside teh finder it's all clear...

next time, soon, I would like upgrade to p45 but I don't know for contax or  mamiya 645.
the motives is that I can integrate my system and use RZ too with the back...
the problem is sell all my contax system.

No categories on your poll match my situation. I'm exclusively using a D2x. My view cameras (6x7, 6x9, & 4x5") as well as my Pentax 645 are gathering dust.
I'm seriously looking at MFD, but probably wont make a move until I sell a house in a year or two.

Hi, I'm sorry about the categories. I'm more courious about the MF transition.....as I only use MF cameras.

I don't know where I fit in; I use medium format digital (Mamiya ZD) but also shoot some "35mm" digital, and 8x10 film, so I voted "still some film"
