Mamiya Press Flat Top Lens?

[charjohncarter]

Nice! I have a Mamiya Press 23 Super and the 65mm lens too. The FoV is approximately equal to a 28mm lens in 35mm terms on 6x9 format, so finding a clip on optical viewfinder shouldn't be a problem. 🙂

I really must load it up and make some photos soon...

What I don't like about this camera is for some reason I can't seem to remember all the steps to finally fire the shutter. If I used it more often, I know my life would be better and I would get some muscle memory for its use. Thanks.

I do the same thing with it... 🙂

Advance the film, pull the dark slide, pull the lens cap, set the exposure, focus, cock the shutter, make the exposure... shouldn't be that difficult, but I've screwed it up at least three times on the roll I loaded already!

You are smart guy, smarter than I for sure: and certainly a better photographer (Pentax days). But I think it is just you/me have use something regularly to soften these mistakes. I even have the instructions taped to my Super 23, and it still make goofs. But when you see that negative (a none goof) it is nirvana.

EDIT: I check my 65mm Mamiya with a 28mm 35 format, and they seem to be the same. Thanks for that information.
