Was that Kodak Pro 100 (PMC)?
I didn't think the ProImage film was made in 120?

I'm back with a rarity for me, a straight portrait:

I'm actually thinking of selling my 6x7 for an RB67. The slow flash sync on the Pentax doesn't jive well with what I plan to do with medium format. That lens will be hard to give up, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I really like my rb67, it's a joy to use. I enjoy this thoughtful deliberate process of taking photos with it. Having said that, here is a bit from a review of rb67 :

"And there was the*Pentax 6x7, which deserves its own paragraph. The body was physically clumsier - it was a giant pumped-up Pentax Spotmatic, along the lines of the Soviet*Kiev 60*- but had a sierra hotel range of Takumar lenses. Including the standard 105mm f/2.4, which was almost all the lens you needed. Top shutter sync was only 1/30, which was problematic for the very photographers most likely to use it - wedding and portrait shooters, with their standard backlit sunlight / fill-flash shots. But 105mm f/2.4 in 6x7 format, cor.*Diane Arbus used one*towards the end of her life and the Pentax 67 has always had an artier, more tasteful reputation than the relatively agricultural RB67. Walk into a camera club meeting with a Pentax 67 and you'll be treated like a God. Men will respect you, women will disrobe for you. The clouds will part for you. Your clothes will fit you. Nothing stands in your way, when you have a Pentax 67."

Man, that never happened to ME. I must have been doing something wrong.

Well, I guess I can just live with the fact that somebody else will have the opportunity for such joy.

The film I used had expired in 2003 and had been obtained in South Korea, where I purchased at least three bricks of it. ProImage in 120 was (and maybe still is?) available in certain markets, particularly in Asia and South America.

Charactistically speaking, it is similar to Gold 100, but not quite the same, intended for portrait and social applications (with a more natural color rendition) and is designed to be stored at room temperature, even in hot, humid climates. Here a link to the data sheet:

https://dreamartemis.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kodak-proimage-100.pdf

It’s starting to show it’s age even though I’ve kept it frozen, I had to do some color corrections!

Cheers, Allan

Some place warm for those of us in the northern hemisphere suffering through winter, though it's hard to complain today in Vancouver as it's +6C and sunny!

Thanks

It was a bit of an experiment, zone focusing the SWC/M and composing on the external finder (which distorts so much it feels like a fisheye...). Turned out ok!
