finally made the jump to medium format with a Seagull
Heh heh heh,
It is going to be interesting when I scan some of the pictures and try
to crop and shape them for viewing on the computer screen.

Remember to think square.
I have once owned a Yashicamat, Mamiya 330, and a Bronica SQ-A ...
I miss square formats ... but I have switched to nature photography and
finding a 800mm lens for 6x6 is not easy.

It took me over a year to make the jump to a Seagull.
You would prob'y have to search an archive, I made a few posts
concerning costs. I labored over the decision for over a year, and
decided that the Seagull 109 was the way to go. I was very surprised
to find they had only one model with flash X synch, but since my
hand-me-down Mamiaya 35mm had that, I wanted to keep the feature. I
like having to have a seperate light meter, and look forward to
getting to use it with the old Mamiaya.
I would have liked something with interchangeable lenses, but that
would entail me having to carry around a camera that costs as much as
a used car.
I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for kind and helpfull
remarks in the past. I am running out now to take a few pictures.
