I'm considering buying a used Mamiya 6x7, but I'm confused about what I need. I currently use a modern AF film SLR.
I'm looking at the RB67 and the RZ67. Can anyone tell me if these camera's have built-in light meters? If so, are the any good? Will I need a hand held light meter? I know the used cameras vary in age. How do I know if the old ones have a light meter?
These cameras are so configurable, I can't figure out which accessories I'm going to need. Can anyone give me a general idea of what accessories I should start with, for landscape and artistic shots? I won't be running a studio or anything like that.
Also, how do the lens focal lengths compare to 35mm? I don't know which lenses I should get either.
Anything you can offer would help. This is all very confusing to me, and I can't seem to find a "MF Camera for Dummies" book.
Thanks,
Paul
