Mamiya C330

I'm thinking about getting myself a new camera in the very near future. I currently use a Panasonic Lumix G1 and have bought and had bought for me, various camera accessories for it. Now, I was thinking about getting some new lenses for it in a few months time and then thought it was maybe time I joined the Canon/Nikon crew! Anyway, Canon/Nikon/Panasonic, it got me thinking about the other camera's I've had the pleasure of using............

Ahhhhh, this little beauty, the Mamiya C330 camera. Absolutely beautiful piece of gear, if you ever get the chance to use one. I loved everything about it; the look, the feel, the film. I was allowed to use it when I was doing my photography course at college.

It's a Twin Lens Reflex Medium Format camera so it uses 6x6 negatives and the images come out a square shape. You use one lens to focus and the other lens is used for the shutter. It was really, really easy to use and produces some really lovely images.

The images are not as crisp around the edges as other cameras but actually, I think that this really adds quality because it draws your eye to the centre of the image where the subject is very clear. It makes the camera really good for still life and if I got my hands on one again, I'd definitely do some portraits with it.




Here are some of the images I took with this camera. As I said before, I used the camera to take still life pictures. Those being of graveyards!
