My high expectations of the Mamiya 7 would always result in disappointmentДЄfter reading all these rave reviews I bought the Mamiya 7 camera with high expectations. It always seemed to be the new digital camera vs the 7. When digital cameras were starting to catch up film camera resolution one of the benchmark tests seemed to always be the вЂњMamiya 7 vs Nikon D800вЂќ (etc). This is indeed true and a fair comment but I had seen so many other glowing reviews about this camera on other websites too. Most of you are probably saying to yourself вЂњWell Matt itвЂ™s your fault for be stupid and believing all you read!вЂќ. I tend to shoot portraits but I also do wedding photography and the occasional building or landscape photo so I thought maybe the 43mm lens would be useable and useful for some of my photography work. I already have a Mamiya 6 camera and many of the other highly regarded film cameras but I was looking for better. I convinced myself this was THE pinnacle of film cameras for a guy who likes great image quality from analogue technology. Talking from my own experience I can confirm that I bought my Mamiya 7 because of reason #2 & #3 above (mostly #2) and quite liked the idea of #4 also.
