Norita Graflex 66 UP!!
Wow are we ever fortunate! My lovely girl JAG was at an estate sale recently and picked up a Norita Graflex 66 with the legendary 80mm lense, and the prismatic viewfinder! I mean to folks that know, this camera has no equal in terms of medium format cameras and no digital SLR even holds a candle against it. Now JAG is much more of a photographer than I but now even I'm feeling the itch to snap a few rolls. I mean the variable depth of field on this camera is flat out amazing! It actually feels like cheating when you use it! She picked up a Mamiya medium format studio camera as well and they are great but we haven't even picked that up yet. It will be fun to play with down the road. The last camera she bought was a 50's vintage Kodak Medalist, pretty much an American Leica, and we ended up selling it to a very nice gentleman in Tokyo! They are very popular in Japan I guess. I'm sure he's rocking it hard. Good fortune! Best Wishes to all.
