Everything about it was satisfying, the look of it and the way that it felt in my hands when I picked it up.
Mamiya tlr best bokeh lens series#
What started my interest with the C series was when that gentlemen decided to show me an original Mamiyaflex, the thing was also a TLR but it was leaps and bounds better than the 166s.
The moment I picked up the Lubitel was the moment I developed a love hate relationship with TLRs, the finder albeit a waist level, was horribly small and dim this made the one in the Pentacon look like you’re peering directly at the sun. They aren’t the best but seeing that in Vietnam anything other than those two falls into the ‘collectors/antique’ market, meaning you’d need to pay an arm and a limb to a scalper for one.Īnd after a couple of calls and a 20 kilometre drive, I managed to find an older gentleman who had both of these cameras that he is willing to let go at a decent price. And in Vietnam, there’s only so many options at the time, most of them were East German Pentacon Six, or Soviet made Lubitel TLRs. Read on if you want to know the history of the Mamiya TLRs though the telling of a wee lad getting into film The history bitĪfter a while I managed to make a list of requirements, I would like it to be a 6×6 format, it had to have a waist level finder and cost less than my liver. You can skip down a bit if you just came for the Mamiya C330 review. When I was starting to shoot medium format, I spent many nights trawling through the internet looking for information about what is out there, and more importantly what could I afford. TLRs are a bit of a love hate relationship. The Mamiya C330 is one of those cameras that ‘got away’ for me.
