You don’t see this problem with say a Rolleiflex SL66E or a Hasselblad 500 series camera as they are 6×6 format. To take a portrait photo with the WLF you have to hold the camera on it’s side and it is not as easy to compose, especially when working quickly. To focus with a WLF you look down at the top of the camera and it will show a horizontal image on the glass.
Disadvantage of a WLF (for portraits)įor anyone used to a digital camera such as a DSLR you might think so what? Well I bought this particular camera as I wanted it with the WLF included. As a portrait photographer I tend to shoot in the portrait format with most cameras so this was a little different for me. With the Fujifilm GA645 for example the 645 frame is in portrait (vertical) orientation.
My first observation with the Mamiya is the 645 format is in horizontal orientation (in camera) rather than vertical. My Mamiya 645 Super arrived with the Mamiya 645 waist level finder N (“WLF”) already fitted. Mamiya 645 viewfinders Mamiya 645 WLF N (Waist Level Finder)
