Love my new GSW690iii camera

Love my new GSW690iii camera

I've owned my GSW690 iii for a little more than 1 year now. I still can't get over the amazing images that I can hold in my hands. I started to look for a 6x9cm camera after I bought a used Mamiya 645e over ebay and realized I how loved the 120 format film sizes. More is better when it comes to film size, and the easy portability of these RF cameras had me sold.

I really love the Fujinon wide angle lens on the camera. When I was buying my used GSW690 iii on ebay, I was afraid it would be much harder to transition after using 35mm SLR & DSLR for more than 27 years, but no problem there. Wish I could have switched to medium format film photography earlier. It has been an amazing, eye opening experience. It has completely revitalized my interest in photography. I noticed that my composition work is much stronger after I switched to MF - just because working with the tripod made me slow down and think more on the composition & subject I wanted to project.

Attached are just a few of my recent springtime in Oregon images. These were shot on Kodak E100vs 120 slides usually at f8 or f11, processed & scanned at NCPS.

Welcome to RFF! (I see that was your Post #1.) Nice pics. I've no Fuji RFs, but do have other 6x9 and dig it. If you think that has helped your composition thus far, try a TLR, or a MF SLR, with waist-level finder. 6x6 is a bit smaller than 6x9, but tripod + slow MF process + composing on a large ground glass will be even more eye-opening, even though the image is reversed. (Through other ways, you can get to 6x9 ground glass as well, but it's probably not as easy or available.)

Sunday outing at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.

Fuji Acros 100 pushed 2 stops, 1 hour stand development in 1:100 Rodinal. Fuji GW690III.

Scanned with Sony NEX-5N, Canon FD 50/3.5 macro in 2x2 pano resulting in about 42 megapixels, but resized to 3 Mpixels for Flickr.

I don't think I'd push Acros 2 stops again --- the shadows are kind of blocked up, but I needed the speed that day. 1 stop might be good, but the grain is really good even with 2 stops.
 
I recently made a good deal on a Fuji GSW690III, this is one of the frames from the frist roll. I have to say, it is one huge camera, but so are the negatives. Huge, lots of space to capture things.

Finally got a scanner running but still a lot to learn about scanning. And about photography, I know.

6x6? Pfft.

I do have some single sheet holders for the C330 but never got around to use them. And the G690BL can ue single sheet as well. Maybe I should try it?
 
Are you then shooting the instant in a single sheet holder? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but cut sheet is something I never have done. I did buy the holder for the C330 "for later experimentation" but so far they have left the package they came in.
