Thanks for the link. I was thinking of getting one but with 67Mb RAW file, I'll need to buy a main-frame computer. That's not so much of a problem, but it'll probably take two weeks to download a day's shooting and the servant is bound to object. Also, at my age, I probably won't be able to carry the camera. I think that I'll stick with my 20D.

“The new Mamiya DL33 Digital Camera System offers the best of both worlds by providing medium format performance at a price that serious photographers can afford.”
That puts me in my place then, I am not a serious photographer!

I have no problem with 190mb 16 bit TIFF files. But I have a serious problem with that price tag.

birdsnapper, right you are saying "it'll probably take two weeks to download a day's shooting" ))
Pentax is said to announce their medium-format camera, but unfortunately i don't have such details as megapixels and RAW file size)

Talking What A Bargin !

It's the offer of the free lens that swings it for me. Best order 2 just in case my Wife wants to take a few snaps. But will it be as much fun as my 1954 £14 medium format camera?

Hi there, funny but I found a Fuji GA645Zi in a Charity shop the other day - in a box of old folding cameras and stuff. Bought for £10 and I'll scan the negatives - worth a try don't you think?? I reckon it may be more than 33mp depending on film? What do you think??

Hi Andy. Just had a trot round a few photographic web sites, at £10 your Fuji camera looks a good buy. Try some Fomapan black and white film through it. The film is available at 100, 200, and 400 ISO. It's know for it's "forgiving nature" A polite way of saying if you cock up on the camera settings you still get a readable image. It's saved me embarrassment on numerous occasions. Have fun.

Regards Phil.

You got a bargain there Andy, assuming it works. I find it theraputic to now and again put a reel of film through my Rolleiflex, I'm sure you'd find the same with the Fuji. Slows you down, makes you chill a little, and you get pretty stunning quality too.
