Medium Format ... long may it live!

[FrankS]

Earl, you can annihilate with 4x5.

I have hear, but maybe you allready know it, that rollei (film and cameras) company is closing :bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:

 

[venchka]

Rollei may be closing. The film comes from another company. Like all well made cameras, Rolleis will last forever.

 

[Keith]

But Cosina decided to manufacture a medium format camera ... one door closes, another one opens ... and as said Rollei cameras will last forever!

 

[le vrai rdu]

maybe somebody will buy the brand name and continue to product rolleis as good as the actual one, we can dream one day the crise will stop

Keith,

That Pentax system seems like a bit much. The body is newer than mine. I doubt there is much difference. The 55mm lens was the old one. The much newer 55mm lens with 67mm filters is the one to have.

 

[KoNickon]

Some absolutely inspiring work here, all. Really great stuff. Keep it coming!

Not a single image on this page thus far, shame on us!

 

[Melvin]

Are you sure about Rollei closing? I just read that Franke and Heidecke are closing, but Rollei is a different company.

Keith,

Here are the photo's taken with the Noritar 80mm f2.0 that I have published to Flickr -

Sorry for being so lazy! Also many of the photos that are published to the archive on my web-site have been taken with the Noritar 80mm f2.0 - P. Lynn Miller Archives - click 'Technical Details' under the photo.

I have been using my Zeiss Ikonta 521/2 6x9 folder quite abit -

They can be repaired!!!

They can be repaired!!!

MF is pretty awesome. Even with a camera I'm now angry with and may never get fixed.

(Treasonous) Fuji GS645 on Arista.EDU Ultra 100 dev in D-76

They can be repaired!!!

Keith, what an opener! This thread has some truly inspiring images. I blame you all for decreasing my productivity at the office today.

I've rarely shot MF, but now I've got the terrible itch again.

blackwave... I normally use Fomabrom Variant (glossy) or Fomaspeed Variant (glossy)... developed in Agfa Neutol NE or Rollei Print Retro!

thanks a lot for your kind words...

Damn ... there's some great photos in this thread! I wasn't expecting a turnout like this when I started it!

 

[P. Lynn Miller]

Keith...

Let me know if you want to borrow a Norita 66 with a Noritar 80mm f2.0... a have a spare one that is collecting dust on the shelf. You are welcome to use it for a spell.
