Since my primary camera for most of the last fifteen years was a
Mamiya Universal, I don't think so.
But, if my primary income, instead of just occasional, was from
photography I would have felt the need for a newer system. The
reason for that is the need for off the shelf equipment
availablity more than durabiliy. After all, what can go wrong
with a press camera? Shutter stops, change the lens. Film
advance goes out, change the holder, RF goes belly up, estimate
distance. None of the essensal functions are in the body. But
I had to turn down a job once because I couldn't find the lens I
needed in the time I had availX-Mozilla-Status: 0009piece broke
I would have had to have time to get it fixed or find another.
No, if I had to make a living with it, I would use current
equipment.
