Mamiya Love

A few weeks ago I got rid of my last medium format camera. I used to have four, but have slowly retired them or sold them because of their age and my unwillingness to sink money into repairing them. It can cost as much to repair them as to replace them. But, I've MISSED my medium format cameras. A lot. I love, love, love the look of a medium format picture. I love the quality of detail they show. I love how the picture is framed. (After being at PhotoPlus last weekend I SO wish I had $6,000-$8,000 to spend on a digital medium format, but that's a whole other post.)
So, tonight I bought a used Mamiya 645 off of eBay. I KNOW!
I can hardly wait until it gets here and I can crack open a roll of film. Oh that smell...

Rolleiflex MiniDigi

So I'm casually paging through the October issue of Photo District News's Gear Guide, and came across this camera. A mini-Rolleiflex! And it's digital! And, even more exciting for me, the medium-format freak, it takes pictures in square format. Also, I love anything miniature, so I'm in HEAVEN.
Just like a regular Rollei it has a waist-level finder, and you turn the crank prior to taking a shot. The LCD is on the top of the camera, where the view-finder is on the standard. It's 5mp - not bad.
I found it at B&H online for $299.95, which is $100.00 less than it's listed for the Gear Guide. I am soooo saving my pennies!
I'm so excited I probably won't sleep tonight.
