It was great to see some familiar faces during the PDN PhotoPlus Expo in New York City! We were busy setting up tripods, monopods, rolling cases, messenger bags, not to mention shaking hands and kissing babies. The Mamiya RZ22 just got a digital facelift, the 645DF is turning heads, and the RZ33 is enjoying its new life. This month we're bringing you fresh blog posts, new videos, and amazing contests. Just another day in the life of MAC Group. Enjoy!
