finally made the jump to medium format with a Seagull
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. --- Scotty Fitzgerald |

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.

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. --- Scotty On Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:23:59 -0500, Mister K wrote: Remember to think square.

jjs, the last time I tried to point out that digital processing creates
grain that ain't really there, I got thumped sideways for daring to point it out... Good Luck/// Denny "jjs" wrote in message ...

Yes, it will be interesting when you hit the grain-aliasing limit. Post some. I'm interested! |
