Re: Mamiya(MF) on Digital Thread


Hi,
Just stumbled onto this thread. I am new to digital. I\'ve shot medium format for years.
My friends are telling me to sell my equipment. These adapters have changed my mind.
Besides I still have a freezer full of 120 film.
My digital camera is a T2i/550D with a 100mm macro, 50mm 1.8 and a 15-85 zoom
(I couldn\'t see spending the money on a full frame right now)
for MF I have:
Bronica SQai (6X6) with the following
PS 50mm f3.5
PS 80mm f2.8
PS 110mm Macro 1:2 f4
PS 150mm f4
S-36 extension tube
Auto bellows
Mamiya 645 Pro TTL
35mm 3.5
80mm 2.8
110mm 2.8
120mm 4 macro
150mm 3.5
There are adapters for both sets of lenses.
Seem like i would have a treasure trove of lenses to choose from.
The idea of being able to use a bellows on the T2i is exciting.
I have a few questions.
What is the difference between a chipped and non chipped adapter?
I assume that you have to use manual or aperture priority metering.
Is the metering stop down, that is you would have to use depth of field preview
or set the lens to manual to get a correct meter reading?
How does one calculate the actual focal length of the MF lens on a 35mm chip?
Assuming that I would then have to multiply by 1.6 to get the FL for the smaller chip.
I also have a Mamiya 7II w 3 lenses- but I don\'t think they would work as
the 7II is a rangefinder.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for any info,
Mark
