Not sure if I have shown these in another section -- but in 1968 my Auntie Ivy gave me the money to get a 'Medium Format' good camera and I chose the Mamiya Press super 23 from Pelling & Cross in London as they gave discount and there was no 'Purchase Tax' on that Mamiya -- I got a good set with three lenses and three backs. when I set up as a full-time 'Freelance' in 1970 I did a lot of weddings and local Press work with it. I do not use it so much now -- had to change the foam around the film backs too.
