Ha, thanks--definitely juggling a lot of variables here, including figuring out how to use an incident light meter. I'm still a little overwhelmed just looking through the 67's finder--a lot of real estate!:) The 55/4 is a trip as well, especially coming from a crop sensor K5:

At any rate, a lot to learn--hope to see some from the Bronica soon as well.

Well, I've finally put a roll of 120 through the Beast of the Southern Wild--I must say, the negatives look great, but I'm afraid the scans aren't striking me as particularly well done. I think a bit of confusion with the counter help might have resulted in a pretty low-rez, "generic" file--I might have these rescanned at a different lab along with my next roll, just to see what's "really" there.
Otherwise, I'm still pretty optimistic about the new system: all of these were shot with the 55/4, which seems sharp indeed, and it looks as if my Manfrotto 410 and Uni-loc 1700 are up to locking things down. Likewise, I'm digging the colors of Ektar--these were almost all "SOC" with a bit of slider work in ACR.

Thanks for elaborating...I'll be curious as to which film seems to match my environs here in the Southern Highlands (ubiquitous rhododendron cover skews everything toward blue-green) but the Portra 400 obviously fits your more arid landscape out West.):)

Great shot--strange that "Weed, California" isn't in Humbolt County.:lol: I've been noticing that you're shooting a lot of Portra 400 lately--is there a great deal of difference between it and Portra 160?

Thanks for the insights--I've been running from sunny days so long it will take a conscious effort to trust the medium. At any rate, I've finally got a working P 67 kit together (including a late version 200/4:)) so it's going to be a trip going back to film after an absence of three decades or so.

Colton-- I've been very impressed how you keep the skies in your latest shots (especially in the one of the reflected feed mill on Flickr). Are you using a grad filter, or is it more a matter of shot selection?:)
