645 Back & Fomapan 400

Film Review
Written By Mark Moran

Film is getting expensive so I’ve invested in a 645 film back for my Mamiya RZ67.

Above: Contact sheet of the negatives straight off the scanner.

I might be loosing some size that the 6x7 medium format gives but I can take that on the chin. I’m used to shooting the 645 format on my Mamiya 645 1000s and more than happy with the results.

I could continue to use a 645 camera but this way I get to shoot looking through the bright viewfinder on the RZ. There’s also the bonus of the rotating back with the RZ and of course it’s got the 110mm f2.8 Sekor lens attached.

I loaded up a roll of Fomapan 400 and headed out for my daily walk with Jesus to squeeze out 5 more shots than the usual 10.

Here’s the complete roll.
