Medium Format Cameras
When it’s time to let the world slow down, it’s time to reach for the older, slower fully analog cameras. Larger negatives for more detail and a therapeutically slow shooting experience.

645 frame, plastic construction with a plastic lens, this low budget zone focusing camera has 2 “speeds” that may or may not be accurate.
A joy to shoot without the precious feeling other cameras give you. The image quality is less than stellar, with frequent accidental double exposures, and epic vignetting; this camera gives you a distinctive look and feel.
A go to for spooky season’s light and shadow.

One of the best cameras ever made. This WWII navy issued metal brick features an Ektar lens and reliability unmatched by any other camera built today.
Large, sharp 6X9 frames and a lore that is dripping with history.
Hands down my favorite camera to slow down and shoot, this is not your every day camera unless you want to make every shoot a lifting session.

Post war Japanese 1950’s folding camera with flexibility. This particular model can shoot 645 in addition to 6X6. A bellows that can fold small enough to fit into a large jacket pocket.
A great travel medium format with a fixed 75mm lens. Next to the plastic fantastic FFP Debonair this camera is probably the 2nd lightest go to.
Due to the Mamiya’s bellows, this camera that is approachable. You cannot blend into the shadows for street photos, this camera invites conversation with subject and is well received.
