Of course the real tonality and filing can't look truth the ''f***k'' computer monitor, but you get an idea.
I develop with Kodak HC110 and the result amaze me, the white have that ''glow'' and softness (ideal for wedding white dress), rich mid-tones, while the black keep the micro contrast.
The same time i take also and video so its difficult to make perfect and different styles photo (its classic indeed..)

Hello to all!

Does anyone knows if Mamyia 645 pro only work with prisma? Or there is another way of working like an Hasselblad, looking from up.

Kind regards.

There is a Waist Level Finder for it which fits on the same attachment point as the prism.

Mind that 645 with a WLF has a problem, verticals are Hard

Thank you for the reply.

Do you (or anyone) know auto extension ring No.3- S what is for?
I know it is for the mamyia 645 pro camera, but I'm not sure if you can photograph with this ring on the camera?!

It allows you to focus much closer, and obtain higher magnification. You put it between the camera and the lens. It is a special purpose accessory, in that you only use it for close-ups. When you are not shooting close-ups, you take it off the camera.

Here is a link to the manual for the camera: http://www.mamiyaleaf.com/assets/files/documentation/645_Pro3.pdf

And here is a link to an index on Mike Butkus' site that lists all sorts of Mamiya instruction manuals. If you use any of them, please consider sending his requested donation: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/mamiya/mamiya_lenses_accessories/mamiya_lenses_accessories.htm

Your pictures are fine, but you were very foolish to shoot a wedding with a untested second hand unfamiliar camera, you were lucky it could have been a disaster.
