Hello All
Well i purchased my first medium format camera two days ago from Ebay and it is supposed to be here in 6-10 days..Its a Mamiya C330 and i got it for 275$..I'm kind of worried about it being broken or something but i hope it will get here safely..This is the first time I'm actually buying something from Ebay..Not sure if i did a right thing, i just hope its working fine..
Before getting the actual camera i wanted to know what do you guys think would be an ideal roll to do some tests shots on? I also herd of the term "expired film" but i haven't used film in my life so i have no idea what that means. I saw it being sold on Ebay. Doesn't it change the contrast of the photo or does it make look good in any way? :idea:
By the way do you guys have any idea what i have to do lets say if the camera is broken when its being shipped? do i get my money back? does USPS pay for the repair?
One of the members (Paul) also told me that i can use my Digital SLR Camera as a light meter until i get the actual light meter from Ebay or something. I was just wondering how i can do that? Do i set to camera to "M" or "Av" and just change the ISO matching the film ISO i purchased?
Would appreciate some help here
Thanks
