I'm not using the MF as a news camera.unfortunately I have to be digital there because the news want color pics fast. Hands down the most appealing MF yet for me. RauschenOderKorn, I looked at the Hy6 and it looks amazing. So if I run out of batteries I can only do zone focusing.Otherwise something like this camera would be a good option!Īlan Gales, does the 50mm 1.4 lens fit the Pentax 645N? That would be crazy.

Maybe not my way of doing can't say he didn't have a point! About the Fuji GA645Zi I can see that there is no manual focus. I met a photographer who instead of one Nikon D4 he had 4 Nikon D40 with him. Loosing gear due to damage or confiscated at a checkpoint does happen.
So all I can show you now is unfortunately just an Instagram account with not a lot on it.Sorry! Account name: fredekblad I'm working to put up a new one with increased security. The Mamiya 6/7 would be great otherwise for it's size.Įric Rose, my website is down after it was hacked about a 100 times by Israeli hackers after I photographed the effects of using nails and chemicals in bombs during the Gaza 2014 war. I usually only do zone focusing with the Leica where I have more frames on the film.and also easy with the tab to just feel where the focus is. The Fuji GA has a 60mm mounted which would be kind of a nice allround lens but f/4 is a bit slow.For most situations no.But I want an 2.8. The Mamiya looks like a better alternative for me, just the look of it makes me feel I can throw it in a bag with other things. The contact looks nice but what you say is important.and it takes like 8 batteries.not fun to carry two back ups of 16 batteries. Does it feel like a solid build? Not a big fan of plastics. A bit afraid I might pop up the flash and tear it off though. Yah.The Hasselblad.I see it has a built in flash right? I tend to tear them off.įilm_man, The H1/H2 looks promising. Not for all situations.just like any camera. You can have an eye on your surroundings in another way. It's actually nice to not have to bring the camera up to your face when focusing. And even then.in most situations where I can shoot my Leica M4 I can shoot my Hasselblad. Paul Howell, I've found my old Hasselblad a great tool for many situations in war.It's not all firefights as you know. That's what I'm looking for an AF at least. John Koehrer, of course it requires a lot of power to move all that glass and mechanics etc.But sometimes it's more knowing it is in focus that how fast it gets in focus. I always carry an 35mm and a digital as well.But war is not only firefights.It's so much more where you actually have the possibility to work a bit more slow. Thank you all for your replies! And sorry for my late response, a lot of work these days.įlavio81, Thank you! I think many would be surprised how good tool a slow MF can be in these situations. With a hughe ammound of metal i suppose.More wheight is allways better The frontline with their Iraki Press Comander. "special operations" behind the friendly lines" seriously. Some colleges stated :" $250 bonus a day" I was asked 1988 I guess to travel to Irak? Seems to that time Irak-Iran Conflict - I still forgot these facts. How about something like a Mamiya 6, stick a 50/4 on it, stop it down a bit and zone focus. Haven't used the Mamiya and Pentax but the fastest lens is 80/2.8, everything else is downhill from f/2.8, if I'm not mistaken.
The H1 AF is ok actually speed-wise and very accurate, at least mine was on the 10 rolls I shot with it before getting rid of it (just didn't like it as a camera). The Fuji GA is a P&S (haven't used one personally), if that's your thing. I owned a 6003 which is not autofocus, really great camera but it's probably unserviceable too. The Rollei is a beast and has a crappy charger system. Given that and the cost I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. The Contax is basically unserviceable (at least in Europe) and I have witnessed first hand the unreliability. That about covers all the AF medium format cameras. AF cameras.well there's the Hasselblad H1/2, Pentax 645, the Mamiya 645 AFD, the Contax 645, the Rollei 6800 and if I'm not mistaken the Fuji GA645.
