i haven’t, just the 500 series. i wish more physical things felt like this

If you are ever near chicago area (and have your 500) hmu. The digital back on the 500s is pretty fun. You get the magic of the manual system with the speed of digital. It is brilliant

Agree. The 645 Mamiyas are nice as well but different program altogether.

🫡 will do, ty sir. the fact that the analog bodies are interoperable with the digital backs, a technology yet to be imagined at the time the 500s were released, is a testament to the brilliance of the design. best in class example of modularity as a design principal imo
