#Mamiya 7 ii Patch

I took it off for the episode because itвЂ™s broken and keeps falling down. I usually have the vented lens hood attached but it doesnвЂ™t cover much more of the finder.

#Mamiya 7 ii Patch

For me this the lens that suits me the most my style of shooting and makes composing a real pleasure! Focusing very easy with this bright rangefinder patch and the butter smooth focusing ring makes it very precise.ДЄt the bottom edge of the viewfinder you can see very little obstruction from the lens.

Even though the 65mm frame covers almost the entire finder, thereвЂ™s still a little room on the edges to see elements coming into your frame. In the video, you can see how bright and fairly large this 0.57 magnified viewfinder is. This works great with all colour negative film in general and especially with Portra 400, which I tend to find too flat when shot at box speed. I decided to try that because there was plenty of light on that day and wanted to get a little boost in contrast and saturation. Today we will be shooting with the 65mm lens, which is roughly equivalent to a 32mm lens on a 35mm camera.ДЇor this little experiment, I shot a roll of Kodak Portra 400, that I overexposed by one stop. Quick note about the 50mm: you can read that some people are using it without external finder as the built-in finder window seem to match this focal but you loose the space on the edges, which I find quite useful to compose. For the wider and longer lenses like the 43mm, 50mm and 210mm, a dedicated external viewfinder is required. The Mamiya 7 viewfinder covers frames lines for three lenses: 65mm, 80mm and 150mm.
