Default Should I buy a MAMIYA 7 II or use my Nikon D300

Hi everybody,
I know is two very different concepts but maybe explaining my doubt
someone could open up my mind...

I've never had a MF camera.
I have an important photographic project to carry on consisting in
portraits of interiors with no artificial lights.

the first part of these pictures were made with a Digital Nikon D70,
this year I have bought a D300 lens 12-24 (18-35 35mm)

Some experts photographs who saw this pictures suggest me to use a MF,
specifically MAMIYA 7 with 43 lens.

As this choice would be very expansive either for the camera costs,
the negatives and scans shoud I afford it? The result have to be
professional. Could someone give an opinion?


A medium format camera on a sturdy set of legs _can_ give excellent results,
exceeding any currently available digital camera. The Mamiya is a good piece
of gear, but it's certainly not the only choice for medium format. A MF
rangefinder will usually be cheaper than an SLR, because it's a simpler
camera, mechanically.

Professional results happen independently of the type of camera, and are the
result of the camera operator.
