Camera Bodies:
Canon EOS 3: This body is able to use all my lenses that my Digital cameras can take, and most features are very similar to what my Canon 5D mark II can do, speaking of which, the auto focus and tracking in the EOS 3 was not out done until the 5D Mark II came out (other then the 1 series in both film and digital) this camera takes 35mm film. This camera is my go to for most film applications that I want to use auto-focus.
Mamiya RB67 Pro S: This is a medium format Camera, taking 120 or 220 film and produces large negatives of 6cm by 7cm. I also have an attachment back to use Fujifilm FP series pull-a-part film for an “instant” image to judge my exposure before using my roll film. All aspects are manual control with this body. It is large and heavy and best suited for still objects in studio, however can also be used in the field taking landscapes. This is my go to when fine detail is crucial.
Phase One 645AF: This is a smaller medium format camera that takes both 120 and 220 film and takes negatives of 6cm x 4.5cm. I also have an attachment back to use Fujifilm FP series pull-a-part film for an “instant” image to judge my exposure before using my roll film. This camera has all the comforts of a modern camera, auto-focus, TTL light metering and so on, it was produced in 2009 and is the last Phase One/Mamiya product to have the ability to use film with more modern cameras being made now that are exclusively Digital. With this camera I can continue to shoot with film and I have the option to use a digital back with it as well. This Camera is far better suited for field work than it’s bigger brother the RB67 above.
Wista Field DX (Rosewood) 4×5: This is my main Large Format camera. It’s a Field Camera meaning that it folds up to be compact (I use that term loosely) and easy to carry around. It takes sheet film measuring 4×5 inches and I also have film holders for 120 roll film to produce images of 6cm wide by 4.5cm,6cm,7cm,9cm, and 12cm. I also have an attachment back to use Fujifilm FP series pull-a-part film for an “instant” image to judge my exposure before using my roll or sheet film. I’m able to move both the lens board and camera back by tilting, shifting, and swinging (called movements). By being able to make all these movements I’m able to correct or enhance the image coming in through the lens of the camera. This makes for a camera that is excellent for landscape and architecture or still life in studio.
