Mamiya Vintage 35mm Camera

Mamiya is a Japanese company that focuses on high-end cameras that are impressive and boast many functions. Mamiya is known for their high quality designs which have been present since their conception in 1940. Thanks to the great components and robust construction, many of their older cameras still function today, such as Mamiya vintage 35mm cameras.

Mamiya vintage 35mm cameras still have a place in modern photography, despite the focus on digital photography. In fact, film cameras such as these Mamiya 35mm cameras are making resurgence as people enjoy the feel of film cameras and the physical photographs produced, particularly if the photographer also takes part in the printing process.

While digital cameras lead the way in sales, there has been a noticeable resurgence in film camera use, possible for their vintage appeal but also for their other benefits such as different aspects, image quality and the fact that a film camera doesn't need power. A common grievance with digital cameras is that they won't work unless the battery is charged.

Advantages of Mamiya Vintage 35mm Camera

A benefit of these vintage 35mm cameras is that they often have much better resolution than digital cameras. A 35mm camera has a resolution of approximately 25MP (megapixels), whereas digital cameras offer a resolution around 16MP.

You can also improve the resolution of your Mamiya vintage 35mm camera with film speed you use, giving you an even better picture.

As well as improved resolution, 35mm cameras also don't have shutter lag. Shutter lag is the time that it takes the camera to focus on the subject and activate the shutter. While some degree of shutter lag is vital for a good picture with digital cameras, this process is eliminated in film cameras. The lack of shutter lag allows you to use your camera to the best of its abilities, as the shutter will be as fast as you are.
