Title: Medium format help
Post by: jools230575 on October 04, 2009, 04:14:45 am

Good morning folks

I am thinking of going from 35mm to medium format. of course, the question begs as to what do you go for! I don't have oodles of money but I'd like to make a sensible choice that I won't regret.

So far I have looked into the following:

Bronica SQ series
Mamiya RB series
Mamiya RZ series

I shoot landscapes in the main and I find the interchangeable backs on all of them to be great. However, I have some nitty gritty details that I am not sure of, which is mainly based on shutter speed/ aperture.

Which ones of the above will allow you to adjust the shutter speed by half stop/ thirds increments? Having a camera that only allows 1 stop between shutter speeds seems a tad restrictive. Am I being overly picky with that requirement?

Any advice is greatly welcomed.

Jools

My suggestion would be to post your question in the Digital Backs & Large Sensor Photography forum where all the medium format shooters hang out...
