snip Do you really need an SLR for all your shots? The M7 is a tad sharper at the same magnification* and is 23% (linearly!) larger if you make 1:1.414 prints. M7 + 43 + 65 + something else for closeups, tele, portraits is what's looking good here. No and yes. I now own one and I love it. There are times when a SLR or TLR would be better but the 7 II is a very fine camera. It doesn't have 70mm or Polaroid or interchangeable backs at all but it does have the 35mm pan adaptor, the optics are good, the camera seems reasonably durable. And it's definitely more agile than a system MF camera. But a SLR is definitely better for extremely long lenses or technical photography and a lot of other studio and lab apps. Generally, I don't think there will be a lot of overlap with the Mamiya 7 and a Hassy. The RB/RZ are more its competitors. And if it's never leaving the tripod I'd go RB or RZ. |
