Is It Really Worth It? // Mamiya 7II Review

Ah yes, the Mamiya 7ii... A film camera that we all want to see in our hands, right?

In this series I'm looking for my perfect medium format camera and I do that in collaboration with the amazing people from Fotohandel Delfshaven. I try out 4 different cameras to see if any fits my style and workflow, but also if medium format film is really something I still enjoy.

What medium format camera are you rocking right now?

These are all the episodes from this little series where I test out the medium format cameras:

I’ve committed to mine! Such a joy to shoot, always exciting to take out.

Great shots! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. It looks like a great photo project camera.

If you can afford the price per roll and the processing, of course, it's worth it. Not to mention the 12 frames per roll, but you can now buy the 35mm adapter. With that money you can get a medium format fuji and get the exact look.

Wowiieee ❤❤ another dream camera !
Nice video once again

[chenyang]

Great video! The pics are so beautiful, so much details and great colour. I have just started my medium format journey, having picked up a Rolleiflex last week. Even though I have my doubt on the 6x6 format, I'll give it a try, knowing that the Rolleiflex would produce good pics. The Mamiya 7 would be on the top of my list should I get hooked on medium format. I have never visited the camera shop in Delft but a quick check shows that it would cost 4000 to 4500 for a good one with a wide angle lens. If I want an 80mm lens for taking portrait the cost would add up steeply. Thanks again for the nice video.

It’s a fun camera. After a while I just wasn’t inspired to use it, so sold it last year.

Great video! I love my m7, I've shot a few on location editorials with it. Worked great as long as I kept the model in the very central of the frame. I have a pentax 67ii also now, which I now use for this kind of on-location run and gun editorial shoot. Closer minimum focusing, Matrix metering, slr field of view & focusing for off center focusing, a larger lense selection like a fisheye etc make it a bit more suited for this kind of thing. Although the larger size and the slower loading due to the socket spools is a downer. So for me of course it can be used for portraits and fashion, however a p67, rb67, hassie are normally better suited. These days I use my Mamiya 7 whenever I just go for something unplanned like a wander on the weekend, Its also the 120 camera for me when I travel, shoot landscape, epic urban/city scenes etc. The price hurt, but I don't think I'll ever sell mine.

I'm considering to rent one for a week. Looks amazing.

[jaredweinstockphoto]

Great video, completely agree. Only thing I dont like about it…especially compared to the hasselblad…is that it has the MOST unsatisfying shutter click ever!

[zKMotion]

Worth every penny, would buy a second body without any questions if you're using it for work.

[jabraase]

Had an accident with mine and cracked the outside glass of the viewfinder. Does anyone know where I could procure a replacement piece of glass?

[dresedavid]

It's funny how people think that owning trendy expensive cameras will make them better photos(Grapher? ) :D

[doktorhulk]

didn't watch the video, but: yes. m7 it is
