Did you use infra-red film? The grass looks so light. Anyway, it's a beautiful, interesting picture, as always.

Thank you. Yes, I used the Rollei IR, with an R72 filter. Camera was a GW690II. Thanks again.

I had the opportunity to play with a Bronica GS-1 over the weekend. A fellow I know is trying to sell it to me, but I'm already heavily invested in RB67 gear and don't have a lot of cash to throw around, so it was actually quite cruel of him! I shot this on HP5 using the film speed I'd tested for on the RB and letting the AE do all the work on the Bronica. The exposure was actually pretty darned accurate!

Long time ago, had a Hasselblad 500c, with a 45 degree prism. I hated it, sold it, never looked back. Buuuut, I have a personal project I need high-speed flash sync and TTL viewing so HB was back on the menu. Finally found the right outfit for me at the right price, and took it for spin to test it this afternoon.

That's my hybrid RAV4. Shot wide-open with the 80mm CF. These are on Delta 100 pushed 2 stops.

One more, also wide-open, showing what I think is the classic look from these lenses that I want to see. Odd scene with a bunch of umbrellas hanging out this car:

Bryan, that first one in particular has a very 3d look.

In medium format, I prefer rangefinders for wide and normal lenses, but slrs are terrific with longer lenses, and a Hasselblad is quite compact for a mf slr. My MF slr is a Fuji 680, and compact it isn't!

Yeah, it's funny but I just haven't gelled with any of the MF rangefinders I've tried and/or they have other issues that for me don't work out, despite loving my 35mm rangefinders. I also like the waist-level finder, and while there is the wide-angle Rolleiflexes, it's not a great option either ($$$). I kept coming back to the Hasselblad as a good all-rounder that is smaller than my Pentax 67, can (hopefully) be handheld a bit easier, and has a few other features that appeal to me like interchangeable backs. I will get a 40 or 50 sometime soon hopefully and have a simple 3-lens kit (came with 80/150). I've also considered putting my 38mm Schneider and Mercury 3d-printed camera in the bag as a scale-focus "SWC-esque" contraption with either the 6x7 or 6x9 back (or they make a custom 6x6 if I wanted to go full square) and forego the 40mm but on the other hand, a single camera solution is appealing. Just like any other system, nothing's perfect...

Some swirling from a weekend or so back.

I really like the 65mm lens on the Mamiya Press. Images are looking sharp no matter the enlargement
