Stepping Up to Medium Format - Suggestions please.
Hello All.
I am considering a venture in to Medium Format. I currently own a Nikon D100, F100 and N80. There are a few reasons that I want to try out MF, but the top reason is the overall quality of the image. I am looking to shoot artsy black & white street scenes and portraits with the intent of blowing them up to gallery size. That said, I am considering my options. Hasselblad has a phenominal reputation and I have been considering purchasing a used 500CM kit which has a waist-level finder, 80mm lens, 220 and a Polaroid back. I thought this was a great starting point. I do realize the added expense in the future of purchasing additional Hasselblad lenses. My main concern is quality over cost. I also considered a Mamiya 645AF, but am leaning towards the Hasselblad. Any suggestions that you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Once again the main uses for this camera would be studio portraits, fine art images, street scenes and to a lesser degree landscapes. I would appreciate and emails. You can send these to my email address at: and respond to the group as well. Thank you in advance, Chris Jett www.chrisjett.com ~Stay In Focus~ |
