Yes they are nice but.modularity.means contact pins between them. These get dirt and can wear. When that happens you have to revert to manual only as the AE finder doesn't meter properly. Some say contacts on the finder or.o. the back or both. Bear in mind when choosing e.g., the Pentax 645 is all integrated. Do you really need modularity?
Hi Jonathan, great videos btw A quick question regarding my recent purchase of a Mamiya 645 1000s …. Should I have it set on M as apposed to A ? I’m guessing M is manual and A is aperture? Help ! Kindest regards Tommy.
Very helpful and insightful as always Jonathan! Thank you
Thank you - appreciated

Agree. If you don’t need interchangeable backs or prisms then the Pentax 645 is a good choice.

Yes, exactly. Set to M for manual and A for aperture priority. It’s worth downloading the full manual to get the most out of the camera.
@@WorldwideCameraExchange thanks Jonathan much appreciated! I just got the original manual so I’ll have a good look.
Thanks

I love using my Mamiya Pro TL. A great camera that hasn't failed me yet.
Thanks for commenting
Hi Jonathan great video's! I had a question can you use these lenses on the older 645 1000s?
Yes, the newer Mamiya N lenses for 645 are fully compatible with the older Mamiya M645 range cameras and vice versa.
@@WorldwideCameraExchange Thanks!
