Once you know how to take incident light reading and about shutter speed and aperture relationship in regard to exposure - it is a joy to use. Mamiya 7 with its 80mm lens is a truly wonderful medium format camera. I do wish it had an electronic remote release. I use a cable release 90% of the time so shutter release is reasonable. Changing film on tripod requires the Mamiya QR adapter, which I don't have so just have to unmount/reload/mount for now. Battery life seems good but I always make sure the camera is switched off after use. The 150mm seems an odd focal length for me. I will probably get the 210 & just learn how to shoot with it. I want to get either the 50 or 43mm WA, but as mentioned, very expensive, even on Ebay. Even though it's a film camera, still protective of it in the elements as it does have electronics. I do wish you could switch film types, but that just requires a different shooting strategy, maybe a second body. I do mostly landscape, so still working on using filters. I rented a body & lens and tried out some B&W to see what was possible.

After realizing I wasn't getting any younger, a lighter camera was the obvious choice. Very nice tools but heavy to carry much, making hiking brutal. After getting into MF cameras, I tried Mamiya RZ67 and Pentax 67 kits.
