I am definitely in love with Medium Format since acquiring these two cams. I even ordered a Bronica S2A the other day for a great price (yes, it was a GAS attack, but had to try that Nikkor lense).
Here are a few shots from recent weeks:

Next Stop: Hasselblad. They are coming down in price.

Some really nice shots there. I particularly liked the 1st and 2nd Rollei shots, and the 1st and 3rd Yashica shots.

Yeah, I've been watching auctions. I guess at a certain point I just need to leave the computer screen and use the gear I got. But I do envy the Hasselblads. Not sure if it is a 50% leap in quality, but maybe enough to make me go down that road at some point.
Actually my next step will be pinhole, really excited to do some landscape pinhole stuff in Arizona and Oregon.

Thanks! I used Ektachrome E100VS for all of these i believe except the corn shot which is Portra NC.

Good work. Takes me back to my Rolleicord days. Isn't the last picture in particular too saturated?

Really nice pictures! All except the last show an awareness of colour and colour contrast that not everyone sees.

I like the first Yashica one.

You've certainly got a great eye for shots, those are absolutely fantastic!

Appreciate the feedback everyone~ It's interesting, the last Yashica photo, I didn't bump the saturation at all. Certainly, color correction on these scans is no joke, I definitely am trying to match the color temps to what my contact sheet look like, but the shot was quite underexposed and since it was E100VS, its indeed "very saturated".
I hope I can get better at this scanning and color correcting process. i might try Vuescan and a workflow I read about instead of the free Epson stuff I am using (along with Lightroom).
