From: "Christine Aguila"
on hold at a neighborhood camera store here in Chi Town, and I'm thinking
about it. For $549.00 I get the camera & a 90mm lens. I have read about
the camera & know about the Mirror Lock Up issue. I have found and
downloaded 6 x 7 user manual I found on the net. I've read about the
camera via Wikipedia. I've opened the back, looked at the insides,
depressed the shutter using the "special trick" when no film is loaded. I
found a photo lab very near my house, which will process 120 & 220 film,
create contact sheets, and create scans (120/220 negative at 18mb $1.00/per
neg & 120/220 negative at 19-128MB $3.00/per neg).
I've mention many times that I'd love to do/learn medium format work. Film
is really my only way in to this kind of photography because of its
affordability.
So what do you guys think? Should I do it?
Cheers, Christine from Chicago
I think if it's something you want to do, you should do it.
What is the "Mirror Lock Up issue"? AFAIK, early versions of the 6x7 did
not have mirror lock up, and later versions did.
But I don't know about any "issues" with mirror lock up on the versions
that had it.
