In an age of digital manipulation, every photographer needs to own a film camera for truth, history, and posterity. I knew these cameras would be instant classics due to their special niche. The Mamiya 7 II adds multiple exposure over the regular 7, otherwise they’re essentially the same camera. These are the reasons why I bought the Mamiya 7 II 16 years ago over the Plaubel Makina. You won’t see much of a difference with a 4x loupe, but on a 8x loupe, the Mamiya 7 II lenses are clearly sharper. The Mamiya 7 II holds better alignment over time, film advance is more reliable, more rugged and less fragile, and more importantly, the lenses are sharper than the Plaubel Makina. The advantages of the Mamiya 7 II over the Plaubel Makina are substantial.

But rarely are they directly compared to one another, until now. The interchangeable lens Mamiya 7 and fixed / collapsible lens Plaubel Makina 67 are titans of the medium format world, and both still command quite high prices on today's used market.
