Wonderful photos. The Super Press 23 is a great camera as you are discovering.

Wonderful shots, what lens did you use?

Good for you, the Mamiya Press cameras are indeed Super.
Side note, looks like photography clubs are still alive and well in your part of Malaysia.

Thanks. Big and heavy but I am very satisfied with the result.
Thanks. It came with 100/3.5 lens.
It's still alive down here.

The best camera is one that still works!
This is really good IMO. Sharp as sharp need be and wonderful tones.
What film may I ask?

Thanks. It was taken with Kodak TMax 100. HC110 Dilution B.

Nicely done!
Can I ask if you used the rangefinder viewfinder or the ground glass to set the focus? I just got my Super 23 a couple of days ago - still waiting for the film to come in the mail.

Except for the #4 (using ground glass) the rest with viewfinder.

Keith, that photo blows me away. That is the exact exposure and look I aim for [and usually miss] in most of my photos. Beautiful photo.
I'd be happy in 1 in 100 of my MF shots came out that nicely.

I was impressed to find out that it was T-max 100! I used a few rolls of that film and was damned if I could get it to look anything like LOONGLAAI's examples.
Excellent work on the part of the OP here.

Exactly. I need to give TMax another shot. I used it about... 13 years ago but haven't used it much since then.
LOONGLAAI, I'm really impressed by this. Can you share any more info about development, etc?

I just bought one, this makes me glad I did. What does that kid have in his hands?

Looks like a Canon 5D Mark II and 24mm f/1.4L? (Sorry, I'm normally a Canon shooter)

Err ... it's called a camera.
Actually, I was wondering too, but I was more interested in the lens. That front ring looks awfully big. What is it and what is the f/stop?
BTW, glad to hear another person has joined the ranks of the enlightened (
). The Super Press doesn't get near the respect it deserves. I'm hoping to take mine to the beach this weekend.LOONGLAAI

Thanks Brian. For the TMax 100 I used HC110 Dilution H at 24C. Malaysia ia a hot tropical country. Room temp is around 30C.
Spot on!!Looks like a Canon 5D Mark II and 24mm f/1.4L? (Sorry, I'm normally a Canon shooter)

Woohoo!
Like everyone else, I have to agree that #3 is definitely worthy of a large print. Focus, exposure, composition - everything seems to have come together perfectly. Well done!
