Iused to use a Bronika ETRS. Amazing camera, and takes amazing shots every time.
The negative side of medium format is spooling off and loading new film every 12 shots in complete darkness.
The positive is that you generally only need to meter for the first shot in a given situation, and then you can rely on guesswork to accomodate changes in light and exposure requirements. Its such a robust way of photographing that you can get away with all sorts. Obviously if you light meter on a sunny day outdoors and then ten minute slater there's a thunder storm and you carry on shotting indoors, you'd have to meter again, but generally, you can just go with the first reading.
- you don't need to load the film in the dark....********
- You do on a proper medium format camera. 'Proper' as opposed to 'compact'.********
- Maybe complete darkness is an exaggeration, but you can get light bleed in daylight.********
- loading in bright daylight is fine, as long as you know what you're doing********
- You realise you're making feel like an idiot here, for all those times I had to find a cupboard in order to change rolls.********
- DAAAAMN YOU !********
