After a few rolls of film I had the confidence to shoot without the added baggage. You have to get used to it, but if you use this kind of camera, it should not be a problem for you - Lenny AFimage. Giovanni CappaiNov 10, With the 50mm, the finder is OK. On the other hand the only thing that bothers me about the finder is the procedure to take it off each time I have to put another lens or put the camera in the bag. Yes, when you mount the 50 or the 43 the framelines of the 65 appear on the viewfinder.

As far as I know, the widest lens that is coupled to the finder frame is the 65 mm, so I guess that when you mount any wider lens than that, the 65mm frame appears. If the 50mm lens is mounted on the Mamiya 7, which framelines come up? It would be nice if none of them did. One could learn to allow for whatever inaccuracy existed. Given the inaccuracy of the frame lines in these cameras, and what appears to be a good margin outside the 65mm frame lines, it seems practicable to me to just use the whole viewfinder. I've heard that the total viewfinder is roughly the view of the 50mm and query how that works in actual practice. I am curious to learn from users how effectively this can be done.

I would like to acquire the 50mm for the Mamiya 7II, but would likely shoot without the finder. Having switched from the Mamiya 6 to the 7II a few years back I miss having the 50mm lens in my bag.
