MAMIYA RZ PRO II

I was worried about the bellows being fragile, but they're actually quite sturdy for a camera this old. The 6x7cm negative size gives me incredible detail that my digital just can't match.

The rotating back on this medium format body makes switching from horizontal to vertical shots feel almost effortless, and the 46mm focus throw is smooth and precise. I rented it for a weekend shoot and the build quality immediately inspired confidence, even with the bellows extended fully.

The bellows focus lets me get incredibly close for a medium format camera, which is perfect for flat-lay product shots. The rotating back is a game-changer for composition.
