    The Razzle in Action (Portraits)

    I decided to post these separately, although they'd fit in the portrait or new picture posts.

    A little while ago (many thanks to ManGo, and the others from rfcameras forum) there was a small meet of RF users at the UFFC Protest in London.

    Here are the shots from that. 4x5 in the Razzle. It was surprisingly easy to use. Shot at f/8 with around 1/125 I can't remember - pushed to 800iso (that much I do remember).

    Ash, this might be the best stuff you've posted yet. Calm, engaged, direct. Very fine.

    I have enjoyed this set of pictures especially and bookemarked this page!

    Ash, you have done a great job in recording them mood of the demonstation. The one with the priest is a real character shot!

    Tell us, how many shots in all did you take? Were these ready loads and what film? Did you use the RF or did you zone focus.

    What film?

    Did anyone else have shots too with Mamiya VII, Leica'a and the like?

    Anyway, this is a magnificent job and great that you share.

    Ash - gotta teach you to find the black eyedropper tool on curves...

    I hate to be a prick (but I am one, so what the hell) but how are these any different than what you would have shot with a 35mm? They look like they were shot with a Nikon, which speaks well to the fast-footed nature of the Razzle and your growing skill, BUT they don't really exhibit any of the character of the large format format that you've gone to such great pains and expense to use.

    I was about to mention the same. The darkest tones on there are around 30 in RGB.

    Not to nit pick but that's where you want it if your printing with an Epson 9600 on Enhanced Matt paper.
