not a pentax, but some scans from my first attempt at MF
Mamiya rb67, 90mm f/3.8 and some ektar

How do you like the RB67, adpo? Which one do you own? I am thinking of getting one myself as you can shift with it, can't you?

adpo · 10-09-2011, 02:17 PM

i love this thing. I got the pro-s model with a waist level viewfinder and 120 back. sadly, while it does focus via bellows, it does not offer any shift capabilities

Thanks

I was amazed I got the camera out as it was so miserable. In fact I almost left without my camera, especially as I had waited in all morning for a delivery of film from a national retailer (some Portra 800 amongst some more Reala 100 and Pan F 50). I took my camera in case in my rucsac. I also find ordinary rucsacs more practical for walking with than my Kata photographic one which has no chest strap

)

It looks heavy but also like a real studio medium format camera. Ever tried it there?

adpo · 10-10-2011, 01:51 PM

the weight is comparable to when i used to shoot with a 80-200 f2.8, so while it is quite hefty, i can get away with shooting all day with one (oh the wonders of being young

) havent used it for portraits yet, but i'll be trying some studio work once i buy some portra

Playing around with P67 and contre-jour to finish a roll

Cheers,

Thank you. The funny thing is that I just wanted to finish a roll but it ended up been the only shot of the roll that I kept

Cheers,

Something totally different. On Sunday I went hiking with a friend a little bit outside of the usual trails. It takes about 20 miles of 4x4 on decommissioned logging roads to the start of this barely marked trail plus some scrambling on clear cuts left over logs and overgrown berry bushes (best place to meet a bear - black or grizzly judging by the scats). But boy is it worth it.
I took the Hasselblad with Distagon 60mm (hell of a lens BTW) a couple of rolls of TMY-2 on a light bag (good thinking based on the amount of scrambling...).

I started scanning the results.

A pano of three shots handheld.

Cheers,

Luc

lbenac · 10-10-2011, 10:19 PM

Some more:

This one for the memory. My friend John and my dog at the "end of the road" and the beginning of the trail - well at least where it would be if not for the left over from logging...

And another pano from higher-up on the ridge.

We have a date with this trail to finish-up next year when days are longer.

Cheers,

Luc

Very much worth the trouble, I would say! Superb!
