But the Makina won him over with its smaller size, better battery life and cheaper cost.
Mamiya 7 ii Patch#
But he found a lot to like about the Mamiya, including an easier-to-see rangefinder patch and slightly shaper lenses. Ultimately, for Hamish's shooting style, the Makina came out on top.
35mmc's Hamish Gill had the unusual opportunity to shoot with both back-to-back, and crown a personal favorite. But rarely are they directly compared to one another, until now. So… here are some samples from various lenses and cameras.The interchangeable lens Mamiya 7 and fixed / collapsible lens Plaubel Makina 67 are titans of the medium format world, and both still command quite high prices on today's used market. It’s not about quality, certainly not about the price, it’s just about the way they do what they do. In the most naive way I do dare to say that some lenses have soul. I do believe that some lenses have charm, a very special signature… do I dare to say… soul? I can’t deny, I like short depth of field and I almost never use a lens above f8 so it is interesting to go through a bunch of lenses to see the differences between them.Ī “softer” lens can render a scene in a way I prefer over the sharpest of lenses.Ī slow lens opening at f3.5 can have more character than a lens that opens at f0.95. I’m talking about the way they behave from their maximum aperture to f5.6. I’m not talking about bokeh and I’m not talking about sharpness. One of the things I like the most about lenses is the way they render what’s in focus and what’s out of focus.
