I brought my new Mamiya 7 6×7 medium format rangefinder camera together with a 50mm lens which I also just bought and have yet to try out properly. The next camera to pack for me was a must as it is my latest camera purchase. The digital workhorse Leica M240, a Leica M3 and a Leica M4-P. It worked well so my first 3 cameras packed were 3 Leica Ms.

When I was in Tenerife with Aneta last month I used 2 Leica M film bodies and switched between the two with one Leica camera loaded with black and white film and one with colour film. I have and use a lot of different film cameras so when it comes to packing for an overseas trip it’s always a struggle to choose. Not much sleep afterwards, maybe 3 hours. I did my usual 6hrs or so of packing last night ahead of flying. Tripod + Mini tripod – My Gear Essentials.Mamiya 645 Super medium format film camera.LUMIX Lx100 / Leica D-Lux Typ 109 (backup).I have a lot of film still sitting in the fridge too waiting to be developed when I get chance. In good weather I much rather be out on the bike(s) or doing a long run in the sunshine that stuck indoors looking at computer screen. My second obsession along side photography.
#Mamiya 7 ii discontinued free
Much of my free time is currently taken up with triathlon training. Partly time constraints and partly getting too picky with the models I work with. I haven’t been shooting a great deal in the UK compared to what I used to. I visited Budapest a lot last year but this is my first trip since Christmas so I feel it is well overdue. June 2018 and I’m just on my flight out from the UK to visit Budapest for a few busy and hopefully fun packed days of model photography. Which camera will suit me best – Leica vs Mamiya? It is quite wordy so you may want to get comfy and grab your favourite drink before starting (or just scroll through the images!) Here is the write up from my last model photography trip to Budapest in June detailing camera gear choices, film stocks used, models, locations and more.
