You'll know the right camera when you find it. Photography is an emotional process so I can understand that there are Nikon people, Sinar people, Lecia people, Hasselblad people, etc. We all get emotionally hooked up with a lot of our equipment. The RZ I can somewhat understand, God knows the people that love them, really do love that camera, but it's still a 6x7 camera with a little 645 or smaller frame poking through that huge ground glass and it wasn't designed for what a lot of people use it for now with a digital back.Īs we all know it's just a matter of what works for you and even as important as working, what you want to work with. Also repairs get slower by the year so long term, it may not be a wise choice. Maybe not soon, maybe sooner than I thinkl because as far as I know nobody is going to be making any new lenses, or finders or anything. I dig the contax, but it's days will be numbered. I wouldn't suggest the contax unless you had it already and liked it, or money was an issue and you needed a camera with a digital interface at a bargain price. I hope this give you some idea of my experience whit this system. I have no experince with the contax 645 system. With the wlf it works very well.īut the quality when you do every thing right is the reward for your suffering with the RZ
RENT A CONTAX 645 MANUAL
Which Mamiya are you looking at The cheaper (older) models definitely dont have autofocus and the nicest lens in the system (the 80mm f/1.9) is manual anyway. Like Josh said, you should check out the Mamiya 645 AFD. The H1 wont power older Hasselblad backs but just use Phase One or Leaf and youre fine. As far as I know, there isnt much difference between the H1 and H2 except for the batteries they take and some firmware tweaks. If you have lots of light you can of course handheld the camera if your speed is short enough. I own both a Contax 645 and a Mamiya 645. Youll need a Hasselblad V, RZ or a Contax 645.
RENT A CONTAX 645 ISO
Even at ISO 200 you will find a lot of nois if your light levels is a bit low. I have to overlight a set compared to what I am used to and then bring the level down in post to avoid to mutch noise in the shadows. The other big differens for me is that the P45 is like a black hole, it consumes an incredible amount of light.
RENT A CONTAX 645 SERIES
But it can be frustraiting some time that it feels a bit slow compare to what I is used to from the 1Ds II. This totally automated Kipon brand adapter mounts medium format Contax 645 AF series lenses on Canon EOS mount SLR and DSLR camera bodies to take advantage of the best of both world-class manufacturers. That gives the DB time to save each photo. The best way i think is to use the motorwinder for the camera. If i try shooting in my normal pace with some of my "high speed models" I will run in to truble with sync error and double exposure on the DB. The biggest difference for my in the studio is the fact that with the RZ speed drops to maby 50-30% of "normal" speed. If You are shoting fashion portraits you will nead also a modern DSLR for low light/hig speed shootings.
I wonder what other system can give you the same quality for the price today of a RZ-system?īut I dont think it is a question of just using one camera.
I am very pleased with this combination and the camera in its self and the lenses, it was love at first sight
