mgd, thanks. Do you shoot mainly BW and do you find a substantial difference compared to what you get from a 35 mm such as the M6?

Medium Format Baby!!
I shoot mainly B&W and develop myself. Studio 58 on Pasong Tamo ext. Can do B&W but quality is extremely variable.
I find a huge difference in shooting any medium format camera over shooting a 35mm camera. I like the Leica's and the glass I have but my preference is always to shoot 120 film instead of 135 film.

What you need? 😀
I know you tell your wife you come here for work, but we know why you really come to Japan - for the GEAR 😉
My apologies, I'll stop interrupting your thread now.
BTW now that I've had a chance to shoot some 120 film myself, I can understand your preference for that format over 135. The quality is soooo much better.

My company is starting to think the same... 🙂
I need a new shutter for my Crown Graphic, a chrome 0.58 M7, a new printer, a new study for all my gear....... LOL...

Film is the other way
Mike, I had no idea that Voigtlander/Bessa had put out a 667 other than their folder released a couple of years ago. I'm looking at these images you've uploaded and the lens looks outstanding. I've been shooting MF with a Fuji BLG690 plus a Pentax 67. I previously was shooting a Bronica ETRS 645.
Like you I prefer the images from MF over 135. I'll have to keep a look out for a copy of this camera. I'd like to heft one around and look thru the viewfinder. I appreciate your time taken for the uploaded photos and write up!

Just did a quick roll with the 667W this morning. I had to go and stock up on more 120 film (Tmax-2 400). This is developed in HC 110 1:60 for 12.5 min

I like this as a stand alone photograph Tom. I'm curious what you use for a scanner.. this looks very good. I've a V500 Epson and I'm thinking about a V700
