Hasselblad 500cm - C T* 80mm lens

Lovely image with great colours.

I've just started making use of the square format with a Yashica Mat 124G, though I've also run a test roll through one of my two Zeiss Ikon folders. Below are some landscapes from the Yashica, taken on Ilford FP4+. The Yashica is nice, though the meter only goes to 400 and clearly has an angle of view considerably wider than the lens itself, so metering is tricky. The first two of these shots have some weird bubble-like thing on the left hand side, but most of the shots from the roll don't. I'll need to try to work out what's caused it, but my guess would be bubbles in the developer, which has never happened to me before.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Still playing around with the Pentax 645N and loving it so far. I got the film developed at a local shop and used an Epson V700 to scan the negatives with some slight sharpening applied in photoshop.

You get pretty good results in terms of colour and image clarity. I just picked up a Mamiya 645 with the 80mm and 55mm so I'm looking forward to experimenting with the new format size and but also looking at options for digitising them.
