Two new additions to my TLR collection, the Mamiya C33 and the Yashica 44, next to each other the diffrence in size is obvious.  The C33 becomes even more "monstrous" with the addition of the porro prism and the 135mm lenses. Had to sell my mamiyaflex to pay part of the bill for the C33.( no regrets though)  |

I love my C33, I don't use it as often as I should though. The porroprism is a pain in the ass, it doesn't allow you to carry the camera by the strap as it hangs over one side. However, I made an adapter for a Pentacon 6 prism. Lovely

I used tot have both the metered and non metered Pentagon six prism. The metered one made the image a lot darker.Still any "real" prism" is better than a Porro prism, save for the weight.When i get back home in januari i'll try the hasselblad prism on the C33 just to see what happens

Apparantly the Hasselblad prism could be easely adapted to the C33, this set up is lightyears better than the mamiya porro prism. However for focussing accuracy the loupe in the waist level finder is still hard to beat, but that still leaves you with the left-right switched image. Here's a shot of the work bench with the proof of concept set-up:  |
