Yesterday I was out with some of my photography friends at a cemetery in the East end of Toronto. It a was a brilliantly sunny day, and the combination of the bright white snow and the dark sky (courtesy of the combination of a 25A red filter and Rollei Retro 400S film) provided a look I really liked. Images created with Mamiya RZ67 6×7 medium format camera and a 65mm/3.8 wide-angle lens.
Today another image captured on 6×7, but the camera I used was my Mamiya RZ67. Compared to the Pentax 67, this large, bulky beast definitely feels like a tripod camera, but is still a joy to use, at a slow, contemplative pace.

Today’s image was shot this past weekend with a new (to me) “beast” of a camera: The Mamiya RZ67. This is a BIG camera, and shoots 6 x 7 cm negatives (10 exposures on a roll of 120 film). A mainstay of studios not so many years ago, it is really meant to be used on a tripod, so of course I used it handheld, with a 127mm lens attached. 🙂
