Modern medium format camera without the clunky form factor.
There are very few things to complain about with the Mamiya 7. It's one of the most comfortable, lightweight medium format cameras I've used. It's foolproof and prevents most mishaps relating to accidental film exposure.
It's as easy to use as a Leica M rangefinder and the auto-exposure lock using the central spot meter provides very quick metering of the scene. Point it around at a few different surfaces to get an idea of the levels in the frame then lock it on what you believe is the best and re-frame to take the shot. Simple. And as far as I can tell, a single battery will last a long time.
The only two cons I can think of are the minimum 1 metre focusing distance and the sheer cubic footprint of the camera with the lens attached, although this isn't out of the ordinary for a medium format 6x7 camera.
For its size, it's incredibly light and comfortable to hold with one hand to the point of not even needing a strap. Definitely a great modern camera to use if you are looking for a medium format system.

A great and very honest adventure through Africa with many laughs.
Such a great adventure and inspiring. Love Ewan and Charley's energy.

Great upgrade for an Intrepid 4x5 or similar.
1 of 1 found this helpful The difference was night and day. I placed it on the outside (viewing side) with the grooves facing inward (smooth outside).
The fresnel makes it not only brighter but provides you with a much greater viewing area to ensure your compositions are placed well in the frame. Fresnel grooves are visible around the outer areas but don't seem to be visible under a loupe. Excited to get out in the field.
