Mamiya C330 Studio Sync advice
|
Hi, I have recently abandoned digital in studio and returned to film. I am using a Mamiya C330 (6×6) camera for a studio shoot next week and was wondering if anyone could offer advice on the correct settings as I do not have a handbook. I understand that you have to turn the sync dial to ‘X’ not ‘M’ or the studio flash will fire too early.Is this correct? Also does the camera sync in a studio at any shutter speed or does it have to be below 1/60 ?
Cheers Guys,
Gerard

I believe the lenses for the C330 have built in leaf shutters. If I’m correct, it should sync at all shutter speeds. Some of these shutters probably have been around a very long time; they might be sticky. I’d plug in the strobe and put a roll of C41 through it and off to the minilab.

they do have leaf shutters but not built in. They’re built onto interchangable lenses. There are different models (or the same model but different manufacturing date) Better check sync first. I’d recommend shooting a test roll before the actual shoot really.

If it is the C330s sync speed is what you want it to be because of the leaf shutter,I have the same camera, you will love the results in the studio with it, bets do a test roll first with the film you will be using.

Gerard, you can shot all the speeds with flash. Never put M because don’t sync with electronic flash. Remember to open again the camera obscura if you change lenses. And if you do extrem close up you have to multiplicate de exposure with the numbers indicate in the finder (cause the extension of the folder). I work years later with that camera. Tell me if you have some questions. Saludos
