New Camera

This is my new Mamiya C33 (TLR), a Japanese camera from the 60’s. I decided to buy it (a Medium Format camera) for the higher resolution in the dark room – It hasn’t needed it’s battery’s changed for about forty years because the camera’s spring loaded!

Here’s some shots of it’s exterior and viewfinder:


I’m don’t know if the shots I took with it will actually develop properly because the camera’s fairly beaten up. My fingers are crossed!

    Have you got it working yet? I love things that look good and do a job!

  • Trinx replied

    Yes i did, I got some of it’s negatives developed on Tuesday – the camera appears to be light proof and works!

    is it 120 format?

  • Trinx replied

    That’s right – I think I almost prefer it to 35mm film, the square frame is so different, it works well for portraits and inanimate objects.
    Do you use 120 at all?
