Camera Kit for Travel - Mamiya 645 Pro TL

Film Photography

Join us as we travel with film on our Film Road Trip, #FilmRoadTrip, exploring with our old school film cameras.  With posts from the Caribbean and closer to home (via our sister site, Film Road Trip), we try out different film stocks, cameras and lenses, to slow down and enjoy photography a bit more.  We play with a friend’s Mamiya C330, and our own Canon Elan 7n, and then move on to the Canon 1v and the Mamiya 645M (with the fastest medium format lens ever, the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9).  We test out Fuji 400H, Ektar 100, the new Portra 400, and more.  Come enjoy the fun that comes without the instant gratification offered by digital technology!
