It was with movements that I was able to focus both the mile marker and the house. I almost never immediately go for the 150mm lens, but I think it served me well here. But I knew it was something that I wanted to capture in large format. The road is now a paved two-lane with very little room to pull over.ĭespite the small dangers, I've pulled over a few times to get this shot - usually shooting it handheld with something like the Mamiya RB67. I first came across this house in May of 2019 while exploring Douglas County. They lived together until she died in November of 1949, at the age of 59. Shortly after, Hattie married Lawrence Bumgarner, who adopted Dwight as his own. They were divorced in or around 1911, with Dwight marrying Nella and the six year old Bernard remaining with Hattie. Their child, Bernard, was born on Christmas Day, 1909. Two years later, Hattie married Dwight Pershall. The big difference between the 6 and the 6 MF is the MF, which stands for Multi-Format. If you can get your hands on either, do it. As already mentioned, this Mamiya 6 MF was a revision to the Mamiya 6 and launched in 1994.

With automatic or manual exposure, interchangeable lenses, ergonomic body design, and full flash synchronization at all shutter speeds, Mamiya 6 series. They were highly versatile photographic tools perfect for many applications.

A daughter came less than a year later (which probably explains the young marriage). The Mamiya 6 and Mamiya 6 MF have a limited but robust ecosystem surrounding them. Mamiya 6 series cameras were products of the latest advances in opto-electronic technology of the time. In 1906, at the age of 17, she married Thomas Repass, then 21 years old.


Bumgarner was born in the small town of Barry, Washington in 1889. (link in 'about') This is one of the photos. I recently released a book of photos taken on Ansco film that expired in 1953. And that's the same no matter what temp you're using. But I probably won't.įor me, the pain in the pass part isn't the temps, it's the washing. I'd like to figure out a happy medium, where everything would be 80F-ish. But for this, Fuji NPL 160, it was (or at least warmer than room temp/longer time was necessary).įixing was the same - room temp for six minutes-ish. The bleach was supposed to be for the same amount of time as the dev (45min - according to the person who had done it before - on IG), but I didn't see why that was necessary. The dev was for 45 mins with agitation at the start and middle. This one was clearly not bleached long enough. I devved this photo ,along with the three most-recent color photos, together. If anyone has knowledgeexperience in this area please email me on or post the advice on this board.I recently tried stand developing with my ECN-2 kits (obviously link in bio). However, specifications on these cameras dont tell me much about how these cameras compare in practical terms. Due to M42 mount, the Mamiya Sekor 50mm f2 is a very adaptable lens and works well. My only complaint with the Yashica is the meter is not very accurate and I do wish it had a prism. Lenses / M42 / Pentax mount / Meyer-Optik Grlitz / Pentacon Six. I must confess that I do weddings and I am sure that this gives me a strong bias towards the Mamiya. If you plan on using a flash holder like a stroboframe the Mamiya is much more convient on film changing since the back opens from the top instead of the entire back hinging up. I also find focusing with my right hand convient to the shutter release and you dont have to change hands from focusing grip to winding grip when hand holding the camera. I find waist level viewing clumsy and I have no trouble with my prism finder on my Mamiya. Unless you happen to be very rich and can afford the Wide-angle Rolleflex and Tele-Rolleiflex. In that case you will have to forget about wide-angle and telelenses. Otherwise you will find a Rollei of Yashica more easy to handle. Landscapes with a tripod Fine Easy handling might not be a consideration. You did not say which kind of photography you plan to undertake with the Mamiya.

In comparison with the Rolleiflex and the Yashica 124 it s a bit bulky. There are several references to Mamiya resources in the document, both electronic and conventional. If you find you like shooting with the TLR, youll love the Mamiya. The Mamiya TRL is a great system: inexpensive, but produces high quality images. You might also try Mamyias web page I believe theres information there also.Īvoid the older chrome lenses as repair parts are no longer available for them. Ill probably just start with the wide lens, then pick up a normal and a tele if I decide I like shooting with the TLR.) Thanks in advance for any advice offered. A 6 x 7 format camera that together with a few lenses can stow away in a small camera bag. If its simply the lack (or addition) of a light meter, Im not concerned - Im willing to meter seperately with meters I already have.Īlso, any suggestions for a reasonably cheap, reasonably sharp wide lens would be appreciated.
