Mamiya RB67
Mamiya RB67 Pro-S 6x7 professional medium format SLR camera, made in Japan by Mamiya Camera Co. LTD. Introduced 1974.
The Mamiya RB67 is a heavy bit of kit especially with the range of lenses and is normally used as a studio camera but it is my primary camera of choice, not used in a studio but on the road wherever I go. I first used one at college, its bellows which extend the lens make it brilliant for taking pictures close up. When I was working to commission I knew its versatility meant it was important to have one as part of my kit and gradually after about the year 2000, it became my main camera for my own work. I love the rotating back allowing you to move between portrait and landscape and the interchangeable lenses, it's like three cameras in one.
I used it in the UK on the Meridian Line project '36 Minutes in Cambridgeshire' and in Thurrock 'A Different Light'.
I also used it in America and South Africa but on all of these shoots I was moving around by car.
