Phase One 645DF, P30+ and Phase One 35mm f/3.5 @ f/12 cropped from 4:3 to 2:1 ratio. Carl Zeiss POL filter for polarization but no gradient filters except in post.
Terrific David. Would love to see a portrait or two you've shot with that lens too. I'm thinking about pairing it with the 645z. Any other photos you could post would be appreciated.

Not a portrait, but a shot at ISO100 and f6.7 from this afternoon. You can pixel-peep the full size(!) image on Flickr if interested. I really like the results I'm getting from this combo. I'm still learning how t set manual WB on the 645D, so my attempt prob resulted in some colour inaccuracy that I have tried to dial out on PP. I process RAW using Capture one Pro 7 to a 16bit Adobe TIF, then use a script to step-resize (no resize if you want to see the original upload) and convert to an sRBG jpeg.
I'm surprised these images look so hazy and low contrast. I have the 67II film system, and my lenses mounted on Canon EOS bodies provide much crisper imaging. Could it be your software processing of the images?
The Eagle has landed... 645z battery on the charger! It wasn't scheduled for delivery until tomorrow. My postman surprised me this morning with a day early delivery. Woot!
Not sure, but it was on eBay for at least 2 weeks. They said it was a store demo and here were less then 300 clicks. I didn't buy it because I wanted a phase one back since I am just used to capture one. Do I regret not buying it and flipping it if I didn't like it? Yes haha I should've really dumb of me, but I would have had to spend another 3-4k for the 70mm leaf shutter. And I didn't know when i could've gotten both and used it. rattymouse wrote:
How is it possible the price of an S2 fell that far? Was it heavily damaged? Inoperable?

Very likely! These were also taken at dusk and 2 of the 3 shots were backlit. Generally I use very little boost to saturation and only a little clarity increase. Don't forget also that using these on a medium-format cam will give a DoF more in keeping with native 67 than when using on 35mm DSLRs.
After almost 10 months following this thread I'm finally able to make my first submission. I only had a brief moment with the 645z today and to say I'm thrilled is an understatement. I shot the 55mm and 150mm and both delivered as reviewed.
The first photo is my 8 yr. old son Eli, who, like dad, is very active. To get him to slow down for 5 seconds for a photo is an accomplishment. He's all boy - which Mom and I love.
The second photo is a little more fun. Eli with his sister, Savannah Grace. They are 14 months apart to the day and best of friends. I felt this photo captured their love of life and each other. Note: This photo was processed with a VSCO b&w preset which has a little grain applied. The files are super clean up to ISO 6400 and the latitude in post is simply amazing.
Thank you all for the inspiration and for putting up with me "lurking" for so long. Now you have to put up with my photos too.
