Medium Format ... long may it live!

Traded a backup Autocord and a multi-finder for a Century Graphic with a 6x9 back and a Ektar 105mm 3.5.

Here are a few shots from my first roll. I took these stumbling around after a recent Seattle get together Big Time in the U District. Both were taken around f/4 - something of an experiment as I'd spent a good 6 hours trying to get the lens in the right spot and the rangefinder calibrated. Still getting use to the handling with this camera but I was very happy with these shots all things considered.

First test shots from my GA645. As-scanned by NCPS, straightened (I need to get used to that VF) and resized to 50% - the larger versions are here:

For quite a while I was dubious as to whether MF would "work" for me (fewer shots on a roll, fixed-lens bodies, loading roll film, etc.) but after seeing the results the answer is a resounding YES! Somehow I misplaced the first B&W roll shot in the GA645 and didn't find it until after I'd mailed the color test rolls from this camera and the GW690III. It's going in with the next 2 B&W rolls which are loaded right now :) I have to say the GA645 is really fun to use, too...

These were taken on a dull, squally day at Cronulla, NSW. We got absolutely drenched that afternoon but the cameras stayed dry in their bags which is what mattered!
