If you are dipping your toe into the MF water, you could always play with something a bit old and clunky for a few dollars first, while you decide whether you like it or not. I started with box cameras - there is no need to be quite such a reactionary old fart as that, but if you are just experimenting I see no reason why you shouldn't find an old Kodak (pre-1930s, the bellows seem to last and last. 1930s bellows disintegrate... And as for 620...). I'd guess, not being in the USA, that Ansco Isolettes are fairly cheap, especially with the bottom-of-the-range Agnar lens... You get the picture - be brave, try something for a giggle while you look for the better camera you really want. I ended up with a Voigtlander Vito (OK, 35mm but you get the idea) and a Moskva 4, but I still get the old Brownies out every once in a while. Whatever you end up doing, have fun! Adrian |
