It's truly amazing how many excellent MF options there were back in the day (and how cheap they became for a while in the last 10years). I personally couldn't handle the default portrait-mode of 6x4.5 or square 6x6, and never saw a 6x9 that was both compact and affordable, so 6x7 it was! My Plaubel 670 has been a true gem for travel, and the Nikkor 80/2.8 always gives excellent results (if I manage to focus!).
Plaubel Makina 67 was a bit over my budget and I also concerned about the bellows.
Buying the Bronica RF645 was not my plan since I already got the Rollei. I was not trying to spend money like that within a short period of time, but my friend owned it for almost a year without any issue and also sold it to me below market price so how could I say no, lol
I will be happy to purchase it off you below market price.
I came across this review: https://cameralegend.com/2022/01/09/the-bronica-rf645-review-the-last-bronica/

I shouldn’t read them. Medium format is too tempting and I’m already at my desk space limit.
I heard that floor standing hifi speakers take up no desk space.
After years of buying and trading audio gear, I’m down to a pair of KEF LS550 Wireless(on stands) Qobuz and my phone. It’s the giant Epson 850 I’m trying to avoid.


I peered into the deep dark money pit of hifi from a safe distance, and decided that medium-fi is good enough for me.

p.s. You don't need a giant Epson 850 for medium format. Your current digitizing rig can probably handle it no problem. Capture negatives in sections with some overlap and then stitch.

I love my M4-2! Great work for the first time out. The 35 1.4 Nokton Classic V2 has been my favorite lens to use with it. Looking forward to more images.


So far it has been super fun. The 35mm Color Skopar has been glued to it mostly, with that it becomes so portable.

Add a 50/2.8 Elmar-M (latest version) and you've got a super compact kit that will do everything!

My Plaubel bellows is still the original ca. 1983 material, and has shown no problems with excessive wear or light-leaks. The most delicate parts of the Plaubel are the small flash-sync wire and cable-linkage to the shutter that go through the bellows and get bent everytime you collapse the lens, plus the brass gears of the film-advance mechanism. I have had to replace the film-advance gearing once (due to dropping the camera), and the flash-sync wire once (since you have to take off the hot-shoe to adjust the rangefinder, which is required every few years). Overall, I love my Plaubel,

Yea, Rollei just gives me different feeling while I'm using it.
I had chance to use my friend's 503CX before, even though both cameras are waist level viewfinder but Rollei just slow me down a lot. It makes me fell take a photo forever.
The Bronica just so convenience as medium format for me.

I'm curious if anyone used Santa 100 and posted here before?
Watched a vlog on Youtube last night, the film looks less contrast with color red and yellow pop up ?

I also feel like my MF journey is pretty much complete with my Holga 120FN, Zeiss 532/16, Rolleiflex 3.5F and 503CX.
A Mamiya 6 is pretty tempting though after the Super Fujica-6 that I bought from Ebay was a dud so it's going back.
I'm always looking for a travel size medium format.
Mamiya 6 , Rolleiflex 3.5F , Bronica RF645 , GS645S , GA645 and GW690 were on the list.
If I'm taking 6*6 it must be Rolleiflex so Mamiya 6 is out in the very beginning.
Fuji has plastic and electric that I concern about.

Only Rollei and Bronica left, I decided go for Rollei.
Then couple weeks ago one of my friend asked me if I wanna buy his Bronica RF645 because he upgraded to Mamiya 7II.
Lol , why not.

I keep hearing about film transport issues so that has tempered my enthusiasm.

Yes. Santa 100 is Kodak Aerocolor IV respooled. Lot of places are respooling it under their own brand label eg Flic Elektra 100, PopHo Luminar/Luminaire 100.

The one I get is which ever one is the cheapest as they are all the same film!

I find it lovely with warm, peachy tones that gives great greens and makes reds pop:


Flic Elektra is $11.89/roll, Luminar is $11.39, SantaColor 100 is $15-$16/roll

Just a word of warning: this film can confuse some scanners (I think because it lacks the usual orange mask), and if you have a lab do your scans some of the colours may be pretty wildly off. For example, the actual colour of the gravel path in this photo is grey, not the reddish-brown in the scan. Easy to fix in post but I didn't bother with this one. I also have a photo of some lilac flowers where their colour is very far from lilac.

Great film, though: I am shooting a roll of it right now and have another in the wings.

Flic Film Aurora 800 on Minolta XD, MC Rokkor 58/1.2

The first shot here was the last shot of the roll, and the only one with a light leak, but I like this leak, it's cool. This was a concert at our place, and I love how the neighbour's oaks cast shadows of their leaves on the wall behind the musicians.

The lab that I use , they scan by Fuji Frontier SP3000 which is greenish than Noritsu IMO.
So let's see how it turns out.

Sounds good. My lab has both; I much prefer the Noritsu scans and when they have to use the Fuji I usually rescan them. But I've never seen Fuji scans of this particular film and it might be better than the Noritsu.

I feel Noritsu bit yellowish for me.
Normally I only edit the exposure , highlight , shadow etc but don't wanna touch white balance for film.
Scan by Noritsu I will also have to edit white balance as well.

Below photos were very yellowish, I just slightly touched the white balance.

Just got 5 rolls finished scan by lab.
There is 1 roll I care about since I was thinking if Minolta Hi-Matic E and Olympus XA can be my street photography camera beside the M6.
So I use both cameras try to take some photos on street. The roll from XA still hasn't developed yet.
Ofc, the M6 is still the best one to get this kind of the work done.

Minolta Hi-Matic E + Fuji 200 ( new ver )
