Greetings from Somerset

[Matthew Durnford]

I am rekindling my interest in film development and printing which I stopped in the early 90s as I did not have the time or space. Now I have both and so am collecting a variety of mainly older kit equipment including a Mamiya RZ67 and an Inka IC-45 5x4 view camera.

Interests include still life and landscape and with Exmoor on my doorstep I just need to develop my weight carrying capability to lug the Mamiya around to take some photos.

Best wishes,

Matthew.

Hi again Matthew. Yes, the RZ is quite a lump isn't? I was very tempted by this route but got distracted by Hasselblad and I like the square format. An Inka Eh, haven't see one of those for a while.

Anyway, as I said before, welcome to RPF.

Welcome to the forum Mathew
I too have rediscovered the joy of film in the last six months. We also have a few others rediscovering and indeed discovering it although most of us are going down the "hybrid" route with home dev and digital scanning...
I my self am trying desperately to have a go at LF but the weather or other commitments keep preventing me... Fingers crossed for some brighter weather this afternoon!
As for mf, I recently bought a Fuji gs645s to get over the weight carrying issues and I am over moon with it ...
Anyway, welcome again ... Looking forward to seeing some shots of exmoor

Welcome Matthew, you've found the perfect forum for your passion - lot's of film nuts here

Looking forward to hearing how the vintage kit gets on - and seeing some shots from your part of the world.
