    If you live in Middle America, the South, or the Midwest, a great lab that I'd recommend is Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas. They offer a lot of different film services and are reasonably priced. I've sent my film to The Darkroom before and it was a great service, but Dwane's is just closer to where I live which reduces the time my film is spent in the mail. I also find them to be a lesser priced option than many of the other processors.

    Thanks Jason, great stuff. You didn't include the Bronica GS-1 in the 6x7 group. It is priced similarly to the RB67 but has electronics (for better or worse) including a fairly accurate metered prism viewfinder, and is lighter, more like the weight of the RZ67 but much cheaper. I guess some people aren't convinced the Bronica glass is as good, although I have not done comparisons, but you mentioned the S2A in the 6x6 section so seems worth noting the GS-1 also. BTW, Flic Film in Alberta, Canada has a new developer formula called Black and White and Green, which is non-toxic for putting down the household drain. I guess it"s similar to Xtol (ie phenidone plus ascorbic acid) but is dissolved in triethanolamine not water, so it's viscous to pour but is supposed to have a shelf life longer than the proverbial shelf. I've tried it on lots of the standard B&W films and it seems about the same as HC-110. Cheers from Montreal!

    • @GlaciaDay
      @GlaciaDay Před rokem +3

      Obviously he cannot mention all good stuff in a brief video. Also GS-1 is much much lighter then a RZ67 so probably the best starter 6x7 camera imo, especially for a SLR. It has more function being a new camera compares to early Pentax 6x7 with similar price.

    • @oudviola
      @oudviola Před rokem +1

    @mcb187 Před rokem +2

    You forget to mention for those that are indecisive about what frame size they want, interchangeable back cameras can often shoot multiple sizes. For instance, my rb67 can shoot 6x45, 6x7, and the cursed 6x8 size. Supposedly mamiya made a )x6 back for a short time right after the launch of the camera, but no one bought them, so they stopped making it. Oh, and it uses the Graflock 2x3 standard for backs, so if you want to shoot 6x9 and 2x3 film, you can. Though, I’m not sure why you would.

    A Mamiya Universal Press with a multi format back and then shoot 645, 6x6 or 6x9 whenever you feel like it.
    Lenses: Just the 50mm f/6.3 (31mm, 27mm, and 22mm) and the 100mm f/2.8 (62mm, 55mm, and 43mm) and you're set. Just don't try to switch formats mid-roll.
