These particular images were selected because of their beautiful colors, clean lines, and their representation of something epic and large that life. With that being said, if you needed even more temptation to pick up a Mamiya 7, IвЂ™ve carefully selected 20 images by some of my favorite photographers who also happen to use this vary camera. I am happy to share that the price you will pay for one of these beautiful cameras is still well worth the damage it will do to your wallet. As a result of its discontinuation and soaring popularity, the price of a mint Mamiya 7 now almost double what it used to cost originally.

Its no wonder this camera is admired and loved by many professional and amateur photographers, creating one of the camera worlds most dedicated cult followings. ItвЂ™s so light I can carry it all day, unlike its heavier 6x7 cousins. From personal experience: it's an all-around joy to use with an almost silent shutter. Released in 1995 and discontinued almost two decades later in 2014, the Mamiya 7 is still ranked among the worldвЂ™s best cameras ever produced. Extremely sharp and detailed, the quality of this camera can even surpass modern digital full-frame cameras. Unlike other formats and body and lens combinations, the resulting 6x7cm negatives always seem to just look real. What can I say? I was instantly hooked! The image quality this camera produces is out of this world. I have been using a Mamiya 7 / Mamiya 7ii since 2008 when a friend first introduced me to it. Best of all, itвЂ™s all packaged in a beautifully stream-lined lightweight range finder package that is simply perfect for travel and documentary photography. ItвЂ™s a unique medium format camera that combines super sharp leaf shutter lenses (namely the 80mm f/4) and simple yet robust electronic controls that sync its shutter across all shutter speed ranges up to 1/500th. The Mamiya 7 is a legendary camera known by all serious film photographers around the world.
