My friend that accompanied me to the Dam took these pic with his Minolta X700. The first two pics I have scanned look good focus/exposure settings. I wasn't too concerned with composition as I am just "getting used to" the camera. I still have a few more color sheets to develop and 6 or 8...

Might be hard to see depending on the device you are viewing on - but there is a little rattly friend in this picture. Pentax 645

Looks like I did my part with the camera and developing - however I am not too impressed with the Cinestill 400D 4x5 when it comes to handling it. It is the curliest / unruliest film I have ever worked with. I knew it felt pretty thin when I was loading my film holders. Soon as I started...

I use Jobo tanks/reels, and a Adorama film changing desktop sized tent. I can probably load 3 rolls of 120 in the same time as one roll of 35mm.

Medium Format probably gets the win, second is Digital, then 35mm, and 4x5. Medium format (6x4.5 , 6x6) is the sweet spot for me as far as how many pics per roll. 35MM starts to feel like a chore lol. I also like developing 120 better, it is easier when it comes to getting it on the spools IMO.

I shoot more medium format than anything, but I try to take the Toyo out whenever I can. I am going to build a 6x17 panoramic camera here fairly soon as well. I will probably get around to developing the pics this weekend. Home developing is quite easy these days - and very cost effective...

Yesterday I took the Toyo out for an adventure. Shot some Cinestill 400D 4x5, CatLabs 80II, and some HP5.

Took my large format, medium format and digital up to Roosevelt lake yesterday, snapped a pic (with my Lumix G9) of the 645 relaxing.

I always laugh at people's first time reactions to the noise a peacock makes. Same with the bugling that an Elk makes. The "WTF was that" effect is fun.

Nice Find! I think mine is better, but I may be biased lol.

Looks like what happens when my 3D printer has a layer shift error. Great pic & perspective.

That park has probably 20-30 peacocks at any given time - and sounds like a herd of giant mutant cats in heat from the "howling" of the peacocks.

Cool bike parked at my every Tuesday breakfast spot. Pentax 645 & 150mm w/ Kodak Gold 200

Peacock at a local park where they are allowed to be "open range." Lumix G9 w/ Olympus 40-150 Pro

I have a KM 7D Digital and a Maxxum/dynax/alpha 7 - They both are fantastic cameras.
