Bessa/GF670 samples...

Worthy recognition, Peter, for images we know and admire here--plus style points for sex appeal while focusing the camera in the PR portrait ;-).
 
Hello!
Thank you very much for the kind comments, Benjamin, Amos and Robert!
Benjamin, I am glad there camera served you so well in Kyrgyzstan. I hope to return there myself soon too.
Robert: Hehe...not so much an intended PR shot - that was taken in the bathroom (my improvised dev. room), one image left on the roll and no better idea what to use it for, minutes before dunking the roll into ID-11. :)

Great work on the Voightlander ad Peter. Yes it was a great decision to have the GF on my trip, together with the Hexar, it was a great set that complimented each other.

And yes, that note about finishing the last frame in the bathroom is hilarious. :D
 
Great work on that C.V. Bessa III 667 Peter. I was already wondering on Flickr about those photos from Norway etc. last months.

At least a very good promotion of this camera for traveling.

Best regards,

Robert

I took my underutilized Fuji GF670 on a trip to Olympic National Park in Washington State in July.
I was planning to take a few rolls and if I didn't like the results, I was going to sell the camera.
You can see two of my photos from La Push, WA here:

I am keeping the camera. I used Kodak Porta 400.
 
From my last trip to Ukraine by car. Probably for the time being my last trip concerning the crappy situation especially in the East part of this beautiful country.

Fomapan 200 E.I. 125 in R09/Rodinal 1+50. Hardly to believe one year later the impact of this photo now. From the open air museum: Heros of Afghanistan (Mykolaiv).

For the next visit maybe a good idea to rent a tank. :D
Better safe then sorry ....... :eek:
 
Robert, there are some really nice samples among the recent ones!

One more from my autumn strolls to my favourite lake, Ingering See in the Seckauer Alps of Styria, Austria.
Bessa III, B+W yellow filter and FP4+ in Rodinal (1+50). Nikon 8000ED scan.

Thanks, Peter. Being offered a couple of rolls of Portra 400 in 220 made me shoot rather more liberally than I usually do with 120, and its amenability to BW conversion pleases me. (I'm spoiled by chrome transparencies for color, probably forever, but have also gone on record elsewhere that color interests me only when it is the subject, i.e., fundamentally abstract. This also frees me from making crazy decisions about hues, saturation, luminance, lighting....)

Lovely still reflection above in your own work. (I feel no need to see its color analogue either.)
 
A question for the hikers: while in the field (especially in the wild) how do you protect the camera from the elements?

I'm seriously considering getting one as a field camera, but was hesitating as I wonder whether (or how well) the innards would hold up.
 
It is not a heavy metal camera. You have to watch out a little bit but for traveling one of the best 67/66 choices you can make.
