Thanks for getting up there so we can enjoy your shot.

Looks like the view really opens up around the next bend...

And all the vegetation reminds one that Iceland is actually green, and Greenland is actually icy!

This is either a wind up or lack of knowledge.
Hope you enjoy your new camera and take many a true symmetrical photograph .

Best CDU II image I've seen yet!

I keep wanting to get some but I already have so much 4x5 film I can't justify more right now.

Carl Zeiss jeana dagor 10cm f/9 VS Rodenstock Grandagon 90mm f4.5 at f32 15s

Stick the film in the freezer and order more. You are not a real photographer unless you have a separate fridge for film. oh wait!

JaZ99 that is a nice shot.

Thank you! CDUII is cheap, even cheaper than B&W sheet films. But low iso (now I'm using ISO 12 including filter factor) and the need to put the filter is a con.

Haha, I'm of the mind these days that you're not a real photographer if you're not shooting enough film to NOT have a freezer full of it LOL.

That's half true. But seriously I've seen a lot of people recently that seem to just be collecting film but never actually shoot anything.

I've shot through almost all of my 35mm, just a few rolls left, then it's killing my 120 but my 4x5 is by far the most "hoardy" which with my usage rate (and the fact I'm currently without a 4x5 reducing back) I don't need to be buying more until I have a reducing back and once I pay for the back of course.

So I'm only investing in 8x10, and I have enough of that right now, especially since I just bought some fresh Velvia50 and Acros100 in 8x10 from Japan, I'm good for a while.
