What to look for when buying a Mamiya 6MF?
Ok, here is the logic:
My new second hand enlarger can take MF negs, so I bought a 80 mm lens for it. And now I need a new MF-camera to get the most out of it! (Ok my Iskra still hangs in there but the sharpness of my Leica M6 with my Summicron 35 has really spoilt me.) So, I have been eying this second hand Mamiya 6MF with a 75 lens...
At first I was thinking about a Hasselblad or some other 6x6 slr. But they will cost almost as much as the Mamiya 6 and I really have got used to shoot with my RF-cameras and got a chock when I looked down into an old Hasselblad and tried to focus it. The finder on the Mamiya is really nice compared to that.
So. What problems should I look for in this camera? I read about the scary broken winder problem. Are there any differences betweeen Mamiya 6 and Mamiya 6MF here?
Am I doing the right thing?
