Description
Photographing with a medium format camera is an exceptional experience; the format itself forces you to think about each and every shot, and the larger negative size gives way for fantastic details and smoother grain to shine through.
In today’s world it is becoming increasingly difficult to find medium format film cameras, whether new or used, in both good condition and at an affordable price, without even considering weight. Our goal when we designed the Goodman Zone was to create a lightweight professional medium format camera offered at an entry-level price, ensuring that any photographer interested in trying out medium format photography for the first time could do so.
A truly modular system, the high-quality 3D printed Goodman Zone body is compatible with multiple lens and back options. At its base, the Zone was first built around the legendary Mamiya Press lens lineup, so this setup comes with a wide angle Mamiya Press 100mm f3.5 lens.
It also means that if you already have another Mamiya Press lens that will also fit the camera.
Moreover we have developed a helical adapter that allows you to mount many leaf shutter lenses, depending on their flange focal distance, so if gives you the opportunity to use your camera with different lenses as well. If you are thinking on this option as well we recommend you to order the helical adapter too.
The camera was designed for photographers seeking the unique experience of full manual control and zone focus in their workflow. However for those not comfortable with the method of zone focusing, we offer a 3D printed focusing screen that attaches to the body by magnets, allowing you to effortlessly switch between the back and the focusing screen.
The setup comes with a pro flash mount and a smartphone holder, and also a Goodfinder application subscription (it is only available for iOS) that we highly recommend to use. This way by mounting your smartphone to the top of the camera you can use it as a viewfinder and lightmeter.
If you would like to read more about the Goodman Zone we recommend you to check out our ‘Press’ and ‘Reviews’ sections, read customer testimonials, articles and watch some video reviews. Also we have a great blog post which helps you to get to know more about the Goodman Zone camera, so we highly recommend reading that as well.
