Second hand bodies in good condition are still relatively easy to purchase for a good price on Ebay. The Mamiya C330f was a very capable camera and I liked it very much.

Since I was not sure whether I could work with medium format cameras at all, I did not want to invest immediately into a Hasselblad system or a Rolleiflex camera. In addition, the Mamiya C330f is a system camera, so it supports a good range of interchange lenses. August 2011ДЄs a beginner in the medium format territory, I chose the Mamiya C330f as my first medium format camera for various reasons, such as price, design and build quality. Needless to say, I fell immediately love with medium format photography and I wanted to have a medium format camera to take pictures with similar characteristics.Дommel, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. As a digital shooter and owner of a Canon 5D mark2, it was something new to me that I have not seen before. I was really impressed by the characteristics of those pictures: nicely balanced composition in square format, beautiful black and white (B&W) tones, shallow depth of focus and вЂњmind blowingвЂќ micro-contrast details. While I was browsing Flickr and searching for some inspiration for my next portrait assignment, I came across some beautiful medium format portraits taken by excellent photographers using Hasselblad and Rolleiflex cameras. I remember it happened in a rainy afternoon. In this article, I would like to show a glimpse of what the Rolleiflex 2.8F is capable of and share my experiences with this classic old timer camera. However, in my opinion, they provide a photography experience that cannot be matched by any recent digital single-lens reflex (or mirrorless) camera. Twin-lens reflex cameras are certainly an odd species nowadays. The lens at the bottom of the camera is the one that takes the picture (often called вЂtaking lensвЂ™), while the other is used in the viewfinder system. The special feature of TLR cameras is that they have two lenses of the same focal length with their focal planes aligned. For people who are unfamiliar with how a TLR camera looks, the picture below shows a studio вЂњportraitвЂќ of the Rolleiflex 2.8F, one of the most legendary TLR cameras in the history of photography.ДЇuji X-E1 with Fujinon XF 35 mm f/1.4R f8, 1/125

So starting to take pictures with traditional twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras was a very interesting experience for me. In the past 10 years, I have been taking pictures exclusively with various types of digital single-lens reflex (mostly Canon) cameras.

Although my first serious camera was a Russian Zenit TTL, I consider myself a photographer of the digital era.
