Medium Format ... long may it live!

Todd, these are great. I am trying to learn portraiture and these inspire me to try more B/W and non standard framing approaches. What film was this?

I totally missed the Mamiya 7 acquisition.

Good for you! I see I need to get some Barry's 2-bath to slosh 200' of Pan F in.
 
Medium format pano, anyone?

Medium format pano, anyone?

Thought I'd submit a slightly different format to the thread. This is 6 x 9, taken at Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Horseman medium format pano camera,
90mm Rodenstock Grandagon-N lens, 6 x 9 film back. Tripod.
Fuji transparency film.
Thanks to one and all for your posted pictures,

These were shot on Acros I believe, probably souped in Xtol 1:1.

Keep at it!
thanks,

I may be a young lad I am an advocate for film! This shot was taken in Sapa in upper noth of Vietnam. We slept in the very own house of the people who lives there, so much more fun than in hotel rooms!

I brought with me leica minilux, rolleicord 3, pentax MX. Of all those pictures I cherish most the rollei ones, but the minilux was extraordinary convenient and brought the best candid shot (leica glass is almost as nice as medium format but many know that here 😉 !

Edodo, what a beautiful shot. Chase, we are going to Vietnam and Cambodia in Dec. I wish I could take my RB67!!! I will just have to work with my D300.

I just proved something.

I had this photo printed 16x20. My largest print ever. 6x7 HP5+ negative. Epson 4990 scan. The print looks really good. Pentax 6x7 and 45mm lens. Who needs a Hasselblad? 🙂

Medium format ROCKS!

I am very taken with 6x6 - square. The price of TLR's today are so low, it was painless to pick up a very handsome Mamiya C-220, for all of $100, with a splendid 80mm f/2.8 lens.

Non SLR cameras seem to really work for me, so although the Mamiya 6 is a bit on the spendy side, adding a TLR - is nice, as it allows me to do close ups without an extension ring. I am fighting with the impulse to simplify my collection of camera's and slim down to just these 2 camera's and go 120 all the way. Debating on selling my M4-P, and my Polaroid 600SE.

Anyways thought I would share these 2, which show off my C-220 TLR, with the very nice 160 NC Portra film

ruby.monkey; you will love the SLX...the mark/model II/2 is preferable to the first model of the SLX.

you will be a happy camper with a spare battery or two. feel free to get in touch with any questions about the SLX

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Thank you - it's very kind of you to offer, and I may have to take you up on this in the near future. The SLX (it is, indeed, a mark 2) arrived today. I'll charge up the battery this evening and take it out to play tomorrow. It's making me question my manhood, though - I may have to RTFM before even I load the first roll. 😱

I am fully stoked... I picked up the following on the 'bay last night for a SONG:

- Hasselblad 503CW
- Hasselblad 2,8/80 CF T* Planar
- Hasselblad PM5 finder
- Hasselblad A-12 Magazine
- Hasselblad Bay 50/80 Lens Hood

Worth double what I paid for it - it's almost criminal. 😀

Never worry, in a few years, it'll be worth half what you paid for it. 😱
