After seeing your last images I went to the storage to find my Rolleiflex, then wrote an email
to someone who I had given my Norita as a gift to get it back and now I am looking at P67's on evilbay

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Bwahahaha!!! Well, I'm really glad if my photos can be that inspiring. Medium format has opened a whole new world to me. I like the slow work, the thinking and the few frames per roll, as well as developing in my kitchen and scanning. A lot more work per picture, but the keeper rate is like ten times higher than when I shoot digital.
If you end up buying a Pentax 6x7, 67 or 67II, I can really recommend the 105/2.4. I also got the 75/4.5 (obviously) and the 90/2.8. They are all nice, but the 105 is special. Zero distortion, very low vignetting, great sharpness from wide open, and a bokeh to die for.

Makten, like the tones on #1 & 3. Very nice.
I was actually expecting to see a bearded man with pipes on that self portrait on the previous page
Thanks! I do have a beard now and then, and I actually own some pipes too! But I'm as blonde as anyone can be, haha.
By the way, I've been wondering how old Cpt. Haddock might be. When I read Tintin in my youth, he seemed quite old. Perhaps 50. But he could as well be 35. I'm 31.

we will see. I've shot MF a lot until about 15 years ago, with various cameras, including Hassis. I just recently scanned some of the old 6x6 slides with a crappy flatbed scanner (I only own a good 35mm scanner) and was really surprised. I've ordered some 120 Velvia and Reala a couple of minutes ago and will try the MF gear that i kept, a Rolleiflex and a complete set of Kiev 88 with about 4 or 5 lenses plus extensions, filters etc. There is even a pola back
Will see where that leads me...
There's some truly wonderful work in here, and I hope to have things to contribute soon enough. I've been amassing a small collection of Canon FD gear, so I'll have some things to play with!
As before, these are ho-hum flatbed scans from rather quite nice hand-printed RA-4 prints. I don't have a film scanner. The prints look a whole lot better in person.
