Recently, i decided to ask CIT staff if i could hire out one of the MAMIYA-67 film cameras during the holiday break. They are an amazing camera, one of the highest standard pieces of kit for it's time and one that is still extremely well respected today. They are built like a tank, require your full attention, sound absolutely awesome and produce an enormous amount of detail within the 6cm x 7cm film negative that they produce - of which you will only manage 10 from a roll of 120 film.
After putting the question to CIT staff, it was agreed that i could go ahead with this request. I am really quite excited by this :)
My plan is to take a trip for a day or three through the surrounding areas of Canberra and simply take one single photograph from each interesting town or location i stumble across or remarkable person i might meet.
So much about it fascinates me, i see it as a good challenge for me as an up-n-coming photographer. Its mechanical operation and functionality also makes it special in comparison to what i am used to using - kind of like stepping out of a Bugatti Veyron and getting back behind the wheel of a 57 Chevrolet.
EITHER WAY I CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME !!
