So I went out on a limb and took my mamiya 6 to an autosport event. Usually I would be taking the pentax 67 for that 105 goodness but opted for a challenge.

Brought with me was my M6, 75mm, 50mm, and 150mm. Red filter for the 75/50 and mamiya flip up polarizer for the 75/50. I was shooting FP4+, souped in HC110.

The mamiya isn't really known for its bokeh, at least in my books. I was actually very impressed overall with the images. Moreso with the 150. This was the first time really using it since I acquired my kit months ago. I noticed a slight tendency to front focus but could be related to me shooting faster as shots I slowed down to compose and focus for look perfect.

I ended up shooting a roll and a half and got a pretty good amount of keepers and still a fair bunch of nice useable shots.

Not sure if there are many car people here but I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

You've inspired me to get out and use my Mamiya 6 with my 150mm lens. I've had the 150 for a while but haven't really used it.

Nice images! Thanks for sharing!
 
Glad to have inspired. The 150 really feels like a specialty lens. Its not something I would use every day. I think for this application though it worked very well. I'll be using this combo again in the future.
