Your mention of the Mamiya 645 reminded me of just how much things have changed. I started thinking about cameras for which I had a particular fondness. They are cameras I sometimes wish I still owned. But I know that if I did own them I wouldn't use them. For me it's the Mamiya 6MF. That was my camera of choice, and just about the only one I used for a long period of time. Then one day I stopped using it. I can't recall why, exactly, but I think it coincided with my buying an LS-30 Coolscan about six years ago. That pushed me back to 35mm and my Leica M. Eventually I sold the Mam6MF. I almost bought another one recently, but I held back. The price was tempting but it's doubtful that I'd use it. Anyone else have a camera they miss but don't miss?
