Your favourite photo(s) you took with a TLR

Got out the Rolleiflex, some HP5+, some TMax developer, and the Flextight:

I bought a Mamiya C3 with a 65mm, 80mm and 180mm. I loved my Mamiya 645 and the glass I had with the kit. I love Mamiya glass.

Sharp stuff with great contrast Maiku. I have an 80, 105 and 250mm .looking for the 65 and 135mm .All a bit heavy and clunky to use but great glass that Sekor stuff.
 
I am taken with the Mamiya C3. I have been contemplating selling all my 35mm film gear and strictly using medium format for my film purposes. This C3 may be cincher for me.

Sorry for all the dust. I have to do a better job getting it off the negs.

Nice shots, Maiku! I especially like the cattail.

Like you, I find myself migrating from 35mm to a more exclusive relationship with my TLRs, including a Mamiya. Another thing I have done recently is to shoot exploratory shots with a 35mm SLR, see what I like in terms of lighting and composition, and return to do the "serious work" with a TLR on a tripod.

Colton, I really like your shot of the stairway in semi-monochrome color. Very effective and it is the type of image I seek to achieve. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
