I did a pregnancy photo project on 35mm taking weekly pictures of my wife. I got really nice results, but the first few months you don't really see much change.
For number two we want to do less shots. So I am thinking of going square format in 120 and cover the pregnancy in 12 frames this time.
I don't shoot 120 outside of this, only 35mm. Since no one around is willing to let me use their MF cameras for that long I am thinking of buying one for the project and then selling when I am done. In 35mm I used a 50mm f/1.7 Pentax SMC lens, which was amazing. I would like to use something with a similar angle of view in MF. Is that 80mm then?
I don't necessarily need a fancy one. Anything that's easy to use and has good glass would be good enough.
Should I be looking for TLR or SLR? I would like to avoid Hasselblad or Rollei due to the high price unless there are exceptions to that out there I don't know about.
Would a $1000 USD budget be enough for this? what should I be looking out for?
Thanks!
