I have also managed to make a semi automatic stopdown system for the "Mamuji" or "Fujiya" I have also machined a Phase one body to Fuji g圆80 lenses adapter that gives me tilt and shift on the Phase one from 50mm to 250mm lenses The "Mamuji" or "Fujiya". I also use Fuji g圆80 cameras with both film (my preference) and phase one backs. In this particular review, I will focus on the Contax 645 body, and will only bring minor discussion in on the Zeiss 80mm f/2.
#Camera contax 645 manual
While I like the Contax I decided to go with the Phase One due to it's flexibility and better autofocus as well as snappier focus confirmation on manual lenses. The Contax 645 medium format camera coupled with the Zeiss 80mm f/2 is known for producing 'the look' when it comes to images. You would also be able to shoot 6x8 film. You would have tilt and shift on all lenses from 50mm to 500mm. There is a Contax mount P45+ up for sale on ebay.Īnother option is the Fuji g圆80 with a kapture group adapter.Ī g圆80 III is an slr, but with a tilt shift lens mount. Kapture Group makes some very nice digital back adapters for 5x4 and they are available in Contax mount. You can also use Hasselblad V lenses on a Mamiya DF or AFD with an adapter but in manual stop down mode and focus confirmation. Used Contax backs are hard to find and will be expensive, however fantastic lenses will be cheaper thanks to plenty of nice used Contax gear around.
For that you would have to get a used Mamiya AFD III or a Phase One 645 AF. The Mamiya DF does not support film backs. The Phase Mamiya cameras are well built, but not as relaible as the Contax, but keep in mind the Contax is a simpler camera. I would say that it's limitations are slow auto focusing in low light and no focus support light. The Contax has a fabulous build, really reliable and the lenses very nice.
