My Mamiya RZ was a love affair at the first sight.
We first meet at a trade show, in a both from a local photo gear supplier.
I went straight in and picked her up in my hands when I saw her.
She fitted right in in my hand, we where made for each other.
So there and then I decided on a marriage!
But this dealer was not for me, so I went home and started to scan the local Swedish photo adds.
And in a week I found a large RZ kit from a pro that was going 100% digital + half a freezer of film.
Then it was just a matter of time before I got a digital back, a P45.
So The RZ and the P45, a double love affair for me
To work with the waist level finder was to be part of the scene, to in some way participate directly.
It was to be actively engaged in creation. Perfect for portrait.
Then I got side tracked by commercial clients complaining of slow process with the RZ and I switched to AFD for quicker focus.
But the only thing I really gained was a big camera in my face that got in the way,
excluded me in some what from direct participation in the proces of creation.
I dumped my true love for a pair of legs, so to say oke:
And constantly regretting that switch.
So, checking different possibility to get back to my try love.
Soooone now, once again I will drown in her eyes, ehh I mean look deep in her waist level finder.
Or, hmm, well you know what I mean :chug:
RZ, 65mm, P45

I really like this image Joe. Then again...I'm very partial to the look of the Leica S. Your image really represents the accurate rendering of this camera. Just beautiful!From the backyard, with the Leica S, handheld:
+1! I really like the natural rendering of Joe's image too. Too often, flower pics are over processed.I really like this image Joe. Then again...I'm very partial to the look of the Leica S. Your image really represents the accurate rendering of this camera. Just beautiful!
All the best,
