Photojournalism / Street Photography with a MF Camera
Hello All,
A few weeks back, I asked for help selecting a Medium Format camera. After all your advice, I visited a local camera store and checked out all that was suggested to me. I eventually went with a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, which I have fallen in love with. Now, I have decided it is time for a second Medium Format camera. Since the RZ67 Pro II is so large and heavy, (which I knew before I purchased it), I will more than likely confine it to the studio and certain location shots. What I am now looking for is a good MF camera for Photojournalism / Street Photography, which I feel is very similar. Of all the cameras that I have seen so far, I am finding that I am drawn to the Mamiya 7 II. That said, I would again like to get your suggestions and advice. Obviously for this type of photography, I would want a smaller and faster MF camera that I can hand-hold. The 7 II seems to fit the bill. I do know that the 7 II and the RZ67 Pro II use different lenses, and I am ok with that. If I did get the 7 II, I would probably start off with the 80mm lens, which seems to be the standard lens for this camera. That said, any suggestions? I would still probably carry my F100 or D100 out with me when I go shooting, probably with a longer 80-200mm zoom. Thanks all in advance, Chris ~Stay in Focus~ |
