A little over a month ago I decided to finally give medium format a try. Poured over the information on this forum and others trying to learn as much as possible. Priorities were manual focus, weight and price/availability, in the end chose the Pentax 645, the original. Got one with a A 45mm lens, listed as near mint but more like excellent condition, more importantly it functions great and meter is accurate. Picked up some Delta 400 because it's a film I know well and went to Silver Falls State Park to try it out. Once I seen those big negatives (much bigger than 35mm at least) come out of the tank I was hooked.
Now have added the A 35mm, A 55mm, A 75mm, 120mm macro, A 150mm & A 45-85mm and a few accessories including 2 extra inserts w/cases. Have been using FP4 Plus lately, which I like better for landscape. Fortunately, I already had a sturdy tripod, a Really Right Stuff TVC-24, which was great for the long exposure shots in surf & high winds and supporting the weight solidly. Below are a few of the photos so far.
