Robert and I in Pisa, Italia! (Haselblad SWC)

[raid]

I have finally had some rolls developed and scanned from our 2013 summer trip to Italy. I have posted some images already in another thread on SWC, but it may be difficult to find that thread, having many posts over the years.
Here is the link to the "other SWC" thread: http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2547056#post2547056

After visiting Pisa with my family and with Robert and Simo, we drove to Lucca to meet with Nico. Nico prepared great tasting pizza! I posted about it in 2013.

Hi Raid, thanks for sharing. The one I liked best was the one with the typical tourist pose of holding up (or pushing over the tower), but lined up for another photographer.

I recall how I got quite close to the people that were shown in my photos. That 38mm lens is quite wide.

When you have strong sunlight as we see in these images, using f16 makes the SWC like a n AF camera. There is no need to do much about focusing. I place "infinity distance" to 11-16, and just take photos.

Wow Raid, the guy with a green cap and a Rolleiflex is really cool!

PS: now, the SWC was on my wish list but I?m thinking I have already too many cameras I do not use so oft...

Very cool man!

I have always wanted an SWC, Robert, and finally I got one in 2013. I better start using it again.

Hi Raid, which film was that?

Fuji Reala 120

It is one of my alltime favorite film types, Robert.

Here is my last roll of 120 film with the SWC from our 2013 Itay trip. These are scenes in some towns and villages close to Sienna (Tuscany).

They make a good Chianti in Caparzo Raid - did you try some?

I don't think so, Marek.

What incredible photos Raid. Especially considering they sat undeveloped for about two years.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[raid]

Thanks! I am quite happy that in the end I had the five rolls developed and scanned.

This is a very nice collection Raid. The SWC impresses, as do the Fuji Reala colours - in your hands, of course!
