Got medium format?

w00t. bought a fujica g690bl on ebay today, and i already have a fujica gsw690ii. anybody have a junker g690bl? the one i got doesn't have the freaking sticker label. *sniff*

still, it would be nice to have a mamiya 6 to put on slide shows...

I currently have:

Agfa Click and a Clack
Argoflex
2 Ricohmatic 225's
Diacord
2 Zeiss Ikon Nettars

My TLR's seem to be the one that I am always using.

My favorite thing about medium format: I can process Tri-X 400 in Rodinal and not have to worry about grain :D

Nice Rolleiflex, Frank. Used to play with an old Autocord & loved the experience, but I did not love the cost of 120 dev & prints. Now that I've been processing at home... I'm revisiting the MF idea.
Thanks for enticing....

I have some MF, yes...
Most extensively I used lately the super ikonta 6x6... great simple camera and i love its portability. The only thing is, it can't focus close:(
The Kowa Six 6x6 slr can... but that's a huge beast. Still have to try it out, i wonder if that will ever happen.
Does anybody know if a Hasselblad (c/cm etc) is smaller than the kowa six?


oh, just buy a good MF RF. You know. The only good one. Then you'll be happy.

Yeah, the M6 in the perfect 6x6 format really is great...

What?

OH! sorry... ;)

Bronica RF645, Kiev 60, Moskva 5, Ross Ensign Selfix 820, and maybe a Yashica 124G later this week :D

shutterflower, i bet the bronica is a great mf rf, but 1: it won't help me with the closer focusing issue; 2: i'm not yet ready to feel happy (what a good deal!) when paying 1000$ for a lens. Financially not, i mean.
 
Jenni, i AM looking at the mamiya system:) and they seem to be abundant and therefore relatively cheap:) The only thing is, they are rather large(compared to any rf), and very noisy(compared to rf's AND the mamiya tlr system) and there's the mirror slap thing too. But maybe i will try them out.
Hell, i was even looking at some mamiya RZ67 lately, since the prices seem to have fallen seriously. I could get a body an 50mm and a "normal" lens for 7-800 euro...
But they are HUGE!

I was at the stop the war demo in London today and there were Mamiya 7s everywhere; I've hardly seen them anywhere before today.

Hmmm i wonder if you saw my girlfriend using mine Mamiya 7. It was a great day out. I saw many rangefinders out, I did wonder if there were many RFF members that went.

Several girls with Mamiya 7s so it's quite possible. A couple with 645s as well. Mango and I were there, although I was in disguise (OM3).

I saw an M8 as well with a crowd of admiring DSLRs - I might even have a picture of that.

It was quite funny early on when there were more police than demonstrators, and more photographers than either. The balance was much better later though!

I've got this beautiful Isolette II and a Rolleicord Vb (2).
Quite happy with both, though I´m definitely more pleased with the ´cords' lens.

Bronica SQb
Mamiya M7ii

The M7ii is the best of both worlds for me: rf camera and wonderful, big negs.

Fuji GS645 folder
Bronica RF645

I once had a Pentax 645 SLR.
It took great pics, but the motorized-only advance
is too noisy where you want to be more discrete...
