I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering if anyone has any idea if Mamiya ever made a fixed prism version of the M645 1000S?
It's just that there's a review of an M645 Super and they compare it to an m645 1000S which they bought for the lens and they say that 1000S has a fixed Prism!
Here's the link:

Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't think they are getting mixed up with 645E as there's a photo of the camera in question in their review of it - there's a link to it on the Super's review.

Looking to buy a cheap medium format film camera? Have you considered the Mamiya 645 Super? Cheaper than the Contax 645 or Hasselblad and more compact

Photar, thanks for the reply. There are three other prisms that I know of: The original "PD Prism" finder which had manual centre-weighted Silicon Photo-Diode cell which went from 8s to 1/500th and the "PD Prsim Finder S", which goes up from 8s to 1/1000th. There's an Aperture-priority only Prism as well, but I think one has a cds cell.

I have a Pentax Q S1, the APSC Pixii, some full frame and medium format cameras. I am struck by the consistently good images of medium format. This image is from a 100MP sensor with the wonderful HNCS colors. Yes, I should not have shot it at f/2.5 because I got lousy depth of field. Iy is OK if you can look past hat and at some really good Ling Cod fish and chips.
It's a new camera and the excitement overruled knowing how to use it. I am hoping that this will wear off.

This is an example of the "Blind Hog" rule. The camera did not let me down. The Arctic Ram heading out for a night of fishing for Whiting.

I post this pic of the Arctic Ram's nets only because the combination of colors in the pic are nice.
