It would be more like one hundred for the two systems at weekend rates. So I am now back to borrowing from my former employer and unfortunately my friend who still works there likes it now too.Īctually I was suggesting renting film versions. I sometimes think it would be nice to pick up some thing like the Pentax 645D, not so much for my style of shooting but so that I can get to use the Hasselblad again (wife took it and is away until Christmas). I would think if I had asked on this or any other forum what system of MF I should get I would have had all kinds of answers. As soon as I first used it I knew it was 'right' for me and my current interests. I was lucky in the first job as my employer purchased the Mamiya for our use and was able to use it for personal stuff all the time and in the Hasselblad case I started working at a place that had a system and was all digital use now so was able to play with it.

In addition to Mamiya there are Hasselblad, Pentax and Contax 645 as well as others. For what you want would not one of the 645 systems be more suitable for your purpose than the V system?Īs far as adapters go, I think most of them cost more than a used camera body.

For what I was doing then the 645 would have been the better choice however now the Hasselblad is. Three decades ago I used the Mamiya 645 and the last couple of years I have used a 500 C/M.
#Contax 645 rental series
Can you find a place that rents the two or three systems and rent for a weekend? Or buy a 645 and a 500 series and one lens each and keep the one that works best for YOU.
