>>3975592Don't photograph at dawn or dusk.
It's the most difficult time of the day to photograph, because the foreground is significantly darker than the sky. The building is properly exposed because the sunlight is directly on it but clearly the grass is a mess exposure-wise. But you exposed for the grass the sky would be blown out. Our eyes have enough dynamic range to take in all that detail but even film doesn't.
>>3975562>>3975545Implying the Mamiya rangefinders aren't themselves somewhat cheap and plasticky? Please.
At roughly half the cost of a Mamiya 6 I think it's a good buy.
I owned the 6x7 Fuji years ago, the lens and handling is great. Sold it because of the fixed lens and I don't like rangefinders, but always regretted it. It's so light.
These cameras are less well-known in the West than Mamiya which I think makes them undervalued.
