format film camera, the Mamiya RZ 67, and this is another one. For this lion I captured in South Africa in sunset light I used the longest lens in my arsenal, a Mamiya 500mm telephoto. It was equivalent to a 300mm lens in the 35mm format (i.e. the full frame digital format). This camera had a power winder, but it advanced the film at a rate of one frame every .8 seconds. I could manually cock the film advance faster than that, so I never used it. All of my exposures back then were determined either by a hand held Sekonic light meter or by my eye -- in other words, by experience. I used Fujichrome Provia 100 for this shot. I was in South Africa in 2000, and at this time Fuji's film products were, in my opinion, superior to Kodak's. My settings were probably 1/400, f/8, and the film was 100 ISO.
