I had Mamiyaflex C2 and a C220. I always wanted the C330, which has some sort of parallax correction, so the upper lens shows you the frame for the lower lens. Shot with the TLR for many years and made quite a bit of money with it. I used just the 80mm lens for most of that time, but later added the 250mm. It takes a while to get used to seeing things reversed in the viewinder. That was especially difficult shooting pans of race cars, because they came through my viewfinder from the wrong end! But it was a great camera, and the lenses were excellent for the time. Paul On Dec 8, 2010, at 5:19 AM, Thibouille wrote:
