what have i done?
Today we looked at using medium format film, I used the Mamiya 645.
We looked at how to load our 120 film into the camera, and how to use the camera, looking at the different ways of focusing, changing aperture, shutter speed and so on.
I used the medium format camera in the studio to do portraits.
what have i got from it?
From this task today I have a understanding of how to use the Mamiya 645 camera, I have knowledge on how to focus it (where the focus ring is), I also understand that changing the aperture and shutter speed is slightly different to using digital. I know the ISO should stay the same to the selected film which is in camera.
whats next?
Next is to get my images processed, look at them, and start to print within the black and white darkroom.
I may also have a look at some other medium format cameras available and see how they differ to the camera i used.
