Default I just got my second medium format camera!! (Eeek!)

Andrew,

My two cents: I had the Yashicamat 124G for a short time. I found the normal
lens too limiting. It was plenty sharp however, and the leaf shutter in the
lens is also helpful in reducing vibration.

The Mamiya 645 which I have now is compact and expandable. I believe the
lenses are sharper and more contrastier than the Yashicamat, but the mirror
movement and focal plane shutter do introduce more vibration. More care is
required when handholding at shutter speeds below 1/60th of a second. A
stronger tripod is also required, especially when shooting verticals.

Dan

When I started reading over this thread I had almost convinced myself
that I could keep both, but I know I need to sell the Yashicamat to get
a light meter

If I really like the Mamiya, and get a need for 6x6 I might take a look
at the C330 in the future.

Thanks,

Andrew McCall
