Not a very scientific appraisal I'm afraid. Also, I preferred the sound of its shutter/mirror compared to that of the 645 Super. It fits into my hand better and I found its buttons and controls to be more intuitive in use. I compared the ETRS with a 645 Super and found the former to be more balanced. I might try a 35mm back later, however, as I will probably use the ETRS for static subjects, I imagine I will probably end up getting another 120 back. Meanwhile, I have now traded in my Yashica TLR for a used ETRS SLR with a WLF, 75mm lens and 120 back. I think I'll probably continue to make use of its autofocus autoexposure capability with my 70-300 zoom lens, for fast moving subjects (eg wildlife). I've decided to hang on to my 35mm SLR system for the time being. Work on mastering medium-format the dividends lie in the images. If you're are keen on medium-format forget 35mm, especially if you have not a large system. So you may find yourself preferring one over the other eventually, and the other sits on the shelf collecting dust. once you're used to working a medium-format system you may find it awkward handling the 35mm again. Medium format requires a slightly different mode of operation and visualisation. I would encourage you to sell yuor Canon system.
The quality is about even stevens for both which is to say - excellent. Mamiya has only three at 55, 80, and 150mm. The Mamiya has a wider range of lenses and accessories the Bronica has the slightly cheaper body and all the lenses in the range are leaf-shutter lenses. Choosing between the Bronica and Mamiya is a tough call each has its own advantages. Since you said that you're interested in the quality that medium format has to offer why bother with the 35mm back at all? Spend the money on more film and shooting more. Okay, you won't be able go real wide when using the 35mm back (although there is a 35mm focal length lens available for the Mamiya 645, equivalent to 24mm in 35mm mode) but once you're used to the quality in the 645 you may not want to ever use the 35mm back again! You get the 35mm equivalent focal lengths of 28mm, 50mm, and 73mm or 93 mm in the 645 formats, and 45mm, 80mm, and 120mm or 150mm for the 35mm negatives in the 35mm back. As for the Mamiya 645 I'd recommend the 45mm, 80mm, 120mm Macro or 150mm/F3.5N lenses. I do not know how large your Canon EOS system is so I do not know whether the 35mm back makes fiscal sense for you. The only problem with the Mamiya 35mm back is that it's expensive But to cover the area of the whole negative with the same image the angles of view need to be narrower on the 6X4.5 format since the negative is larger, and wider on the 35mm format since the negative is smaller which is why the 80mm lens is considered the standard lens on the 6X4.5 and the 50mm lens the standard on the 35mm systems. If one takes the image from the portion of, say, a 645 negative which matches the area covered by a 35mm negative one gets exactly the same image. The lenses project the same image it is the size of the negative which determines how much of that image is recorded on film. The image is not cropped out of a 6X4.5 negative area 2 An 80mm lens on the 645 is an 80mm on a 35mm system, a 50mm lens on the 645 is a 50mm on the 35mm. I am afraid that Craig has got it wrong on two points:1 The Mamiya 645 system has a 35mm back which accepts only 35mm film.
If you shoot landscapes and will only use a standard lens, you won't gain any real advantage by switching. If you need wide and tele lenses, or you do a lot of closeups and a TLR's parallax is a problem, then switch. Whether you need to replace the Yashicamat again depends on the type of shooting you're doing. The Bronica syncs with flash all the way up to 1/500th second, so if you shoot weddings or outdoor portraits and need fill flash, it's the way to go. You would need a wide-angle 645 lens to get a standard image on 35 and so forth.Īs to Mamiya vs Bronica, the main difference is that the Bronica uses leaf shutter lenses and the Mamiya has a focal plane shutter. Thus, any lens on the 645 is going to have the effect of being significantly more telephoto since you're cropping into the image so much. It crops a 24x36mm image out of the center of the aproximate 45mm圆0mm image the camera produces. I first of all say keep the Canon because the 35mm back for the two 645 cameras is really not practical for everyday shooting. Whether to buy the Mamiya or Bronica depends on what you're shooting. I strongly recommend keeping your Canon 35mm.
