First test roll with the Mamiya ZE-X and the Sekor 50mm f/1.7. This is a neat little camera. The shell is mostly plastic, but it is solid and lightweight. It sports a feature that tries to prevent the exposure time from getting longer than what the user is likely to be able to hold steady when shooting without physical stabilization. While the camera is not very expensive, it is difficult to find one in a reasonable condition on “the bay”. It seems this camera was not one of the big successes for Mamiya. Nonetheless, if you can find one in good condition, treat it well and it will treat you well.
