A Mamiya RB67. I wasn’t planning on getting a medium format camera until I got a nice scanner, but this was too cheap to pass up. It’s costmetically rough, and the shutter in the lens is stuck, hence the cheapness. Everything else works, and these lenses are cheap. So I don’t know when I’ll use it, but I’m looking forward to it.

Never in my life have I ever heard of that brand before. Pretty neat looking

They’re one of the most common medium format camera brands, but t hey haven’t made a popular consumer camera in decades. They made popular press cameras, and the RB67 was like the standard studio camera for years. But yeah, only popular amongs studio and landscape photographers, so I imagine most people haven’t heard of them.

That’s cool. My dad had an old Mamiya/Sekor 35mm camera way back in the day.

I’ve been curious about those, I didn’t even know they made 35mm cameras until recently.

I couldn’t tell you anything about it. We’re talking mid-70s and I was about 10 years old. It may have been broken and I just played with it. Dad shot a Pentax SLR after that. Probably something like this .

Rad! I’d love to get into medium format, but I don’t use my 5D2 enough anymore to justify it. Can you fit a digital back to it?

Part of why I got into film was how little I was using my DSLR. It got me intersted in taking photos again, and now I’m generally hooked, and just trying out medium format. I don’t need it, but it seems fun.
J believe there are a couple digital backs that can be adapted to fit, but they’re expensive.
