My very first frame from Mamiyaflex C2 with 105mm 3.5 Lebin Photo, Your Event and Wedding Photographer in Melbourne and Malaysia
Check out more film photo on Le Bin Photo Film Collection.
Im so glad had the chance to touch and get poison by a medium format camera.
yes, It is Mamiyaflex C2 TLR with 105mm 3.5 lens.
First, let's understand more about the camera. This babe is a medium format camera.
Well, what does 'medium format' mean?
As usual, I am shooting with 135 film, the width of the film is 35mm, as a designation for the cassette for 35 mm film , and it was the more economical way of shooting for both hobbyist and professional shooter. Each rolls could be 24 frames or 36 frames.
For Medium format, it is 120 film, the width of the film is 56mm ( as shown, the film size is so much larger, and without any grid at the side ) , it enable more detail capture in a frame and giving more control of Depth of field. It is quite common format for commercial studio shooter as well as architectural kind of photography.
How many frame (exposure) do you think it can take each roll?
see below.

Alright, that was a brief introduction into 120film.
The one i was holding is 6 x 6 format, as shown, it appeared to be a square format.
It is a TLR, Twin Lens Reflex camera. It is a type of camera with two objective lenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective or "taking lens" (the lens that takes the picture), while the other is used for the viewfinder system, which is usually viewed from above at waist level. In addition to the objective, the viewfinder consists of a 45-degree mirror (the reason for the word reflex in the name), a matte focusing screen at the top of the camera, and a pop-up hood surrounding it.
But, the subject will moved in opposite direction as it appear to be. It work as reversed 'left to right' which making a bit harder to compose.

This took me quite some times to focus and frame. And the extreme Depth of field as well as very smooth out of focus really amaze me, even in the viewfinder itself.

Also, the 6 x 6 framing also very unique. A square frame changed the level of challenge using this Mamiyaflex little monster.

Also, in addition, I like the detail of the product. Medium format DO give you more detail as the film is bigger. Hence, a lot commercial photographer required Medium Format for their assignments.

Trying out macro/ minimum focus distance of the set. Aperture was set to f8, yet, I beat nothing.
Seem like I need more practise on calculating DOF.
