    Gowlandflex pinups

    Over the years I've been harping about my Gowlandflex and have received lot of help and inspiration from this forum. As giving back I thought I'd share some of my photos. These are the type Mr Gowland designed the camera for.

    Gowlandflex with 180mm f/4.5 Schneider @ f/16, Fuji Astia (RIP) and Provia.

    Re: Gowlandflex pinups

    I have a book by him.... he definitely was ground breaking in his marketing as well as a decent photographer. I remember when i was a teenager and photography was one of my passions. You could mail order a roll of un developed film from him with photos of the naked model. When in my younger more lecharas days, i used to call up my photo friends to have a "develop a roll of film party". Ah the good times.... Lots of wine and negatives by Gowland..... It made darkroom work fun....

    I do not have any of those negatives from those days. But it would be interesting to see if there is some that can be posted here.

    Very nice work. Mr. Gowland would approve! Thanks for sharing.
