Pentax 645, 75mm f/2.8, Kodak VHC and around 8 seconds

I picked up a P645 and three "A" lenses to learn the aspect ratio and get my feet wet in prep for a 645D later this year (provided I like the format. . .) I hadn't touched a medium format camera in at least 30 years, but I really like the engaging feel of the camera and lens. The tough part is learning to be patient again until the results come back.

Just one, not great art, but a good baseline for my learning.

This lens makes so many photos unexpectedly worthwhile. I did similar test shots when I just received it, and liked the result, just as your shot.

Here's a shot from my home state. Cropped to 6x6.

Very dramatic... As I let my eye wander across this landscape I'm reminded of the book trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson; Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars, describing settling of Mars and its apparently similar canyonlands.

Takes me back. In my youth, I once lived and worked on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I only had a point-n-shoot with me at the time though. During the course of a year I saw some really dramatic scenes.

Thanks! Glad to provide the photographic nostalgia.

Some great shots being posted in this thread. Nice to see some 645D shots showing up.
Tuco the sand in your last one is amazing.

I don't have much to contribute right now but I have been going through all my past 67 shots for a calender project and came across one I had pretty much forgot I had taken.
This was the 4th frame from the very first roll I ever ran through a 67. I was testing a 67II that got me hooked but I eventually sold. I used the money I made from it to repair my current 67, 45/4, and 90/2.8 setup. This was also one of the first frames I scanned on my Epson V500.

I had just bought my second P6x7 off eBay with a 45mm f/4, and picked it up in person. I threw a roll of XP2 in it and went out to the Ballard Locks (Seattle) to find some pics to try it out. I like this one but it doesn't get much attention... ??

Congrats on the new gear. Good results. That's a fun lens to shoot. Was that today? Because today we finally some decent weather and I couldn't go out. And it looks like rain, again, for Sunday when I can.

**Dougg** · 01-23-2011, 02:24 AM

Thanks! I rather like all the lines and shadows and oval shapes... Anyway, sorry, that was July 15 2003. That very-late almost-67 6x7 joined the non-MLU model I got used in 1976, and I later added two P67II bodies as well. I really like them all, but especially the 67II!

The seller of this camera had finally given up his dream of pursuing a profession of safari photography. He got this camera, the 45mm for camp, and the 300/4 for business + 2x extender and a Photo-Trekker backpack... then acquired a wife and a couple kids, decent job... Eventually gave up and sold the gear as a package on eBay. I picked it up in Bellevue at his work and hustled over to Ballard.

Nice here today too. If you can stand a bit more rain, then there are possibilities then too, with the wetness providing some interesting reflection and sparkle. Have fun!

Oh, duh. It was late, I was tired and I didn't catch the word "had". I thought you just bought the gear.
