Many amateurs are very serious with quality. If they shoot architecture, they will need perspective control lenses, tilt-shift lenses, sophisticated white balance adjustments in post-editing (because of the different artificial lighting in the building), HDR to capture all the details and finally medium format camera (or at least full frame) to ensure the quality.
I have none of these. I used my 9 years old Fuji camera and variable aperture zoom lens to shoot the new visitor centre of Van Dusen Garden. Just let the aged camera to deal with the dull sky and high dynamic range in the scene.
And this is architecture photography DIY! :o)
I love architecture and want to shoot them. Here is what I will do!!
Happy Sunday my friends!!

My rudimentary Soviet friend. It's hard to believe that I actually used this old piece of Russian plastic back in the olden days.
From Camerapedia - Lubitel (Любитель) means "amateur" in Russian. The Lubitel 2 was made in great numbers by the Leningrad GOMZ (later LOMO) factory. More than two million were produced between 1954 and 1980. There are versions with a Cyrillic name plate or with one in Latin script... and it was re-badged for various other markets as Kalimar TLR100, Amatör II and Global 676. It was also produced as a stereo version and sold as the Спутник (Sputnik). The camera body is made of plastic, possibly Bakelite. The waist level finder and focusing rings are made of metal. These cameras were delivered with a case and strap made of artificial leather.

A forgotten pioneer graveyard on the California/Nevada border. At the top is Boundary Peak, the highest mountain in Nevada. Taken with a Holga medium format camera.
Nothing captures the strangeness and solitude of the desert like a Holga toy camera. It uses medium format 120 film, yet its imperfections and flaws create a ghostly and unpredictable image. A Holga camera is the perfect way to capture the essence of an imperfect, decaying world.

An Estate Sale find from this Summer. I have a small collection of Argus cameras and this is one of my favorites. It is hard to believe that I was able to acquire this beauty for $10 with the original case. It also had an exposed roll of Kodak color film in it so I developed it after I got the camera home. There was one viewable image on the roll which I've included here. It is hard to say for sure but this is either a young lady getting ready for a Sadie Hawkins dance or possibly a Halloween getup. I was able to make contact with the seller a few days after I acquired the camera and he informed me that he bought the camera at an auction and had no idea who the young lady might be. I really like developing found film and I've gotten some interesting images from the 20 or so rolls I've developed since I've started collecting vintage film cameras. This particular camera is in amazing condition and is fully functional.

Lomography Color 800
Pentax 6X7
I decided to get the Mamiya RZ67 system. [6x7 on 120 film, but they also had 6x4.5 / 6x6 backs]
On the left is a "Pro ii D" with waist level finder, winder on the bottom, 645 [120] film back, lens, and bellows type lens hood [with added extenstion].
On the right is a "Pro ii" with the metered AE chimney finder [sets shutter speed & gets info from the film back]. The weird looking thing between the lens and the camera is the tilt/shift aparatus [screw driven w/lock downs].
Mamiya made two 'short barreled' lenses specifcally for this thing, but you can use most of the lenses with it. The 'SB' as they are known are short to enhance close up shots. They even made a 'SB' tube to lengthen the 'SB' back to normal for when you wanted to focus out to infinity [not using the tilt/shift.
I am missing some items, mainly the 37 [fisheye] lens.
I have three backs, 2 are 120 6x7] and the other is a 6x4.5. I have a Polaroid back enroute, but not sure if that will be usable.
The shutters on all of the lenses are Seiko #1 electronically fired, but if your battery is dead, you can still trip the shutter at 1/400 [the fastest speed]. Being leaf shutters, you can sync flash at all shutter speeds [this does not mean your results will match...]. The lenses are focused by the camera's bellows-rail system. I also have the only zoom made, the 100-200.
There are 220 backs, but no one is making film.
The RZ series was an update from the RB [which meant revolving back] so you can switch from vertical to horizontal by just rotating the back & the viewfinder will mask accordingly]
And, finally - the D version allows you to use a DIGITAL BACK without running cables to the lens.
