Please tell us about your mistake then. Looks like a good one
I have no idea of what went wrong. Could be development, as well as scanning. But since I got decent color in other pics on the same roll, I suspect that the auto-everything of the scanning is to blame.
Also, my chems are beginning to wear out, so even 4:30 minutes development time gave a bit thin negatives. That could be a reason for the scanner software not being able to get correct colors. I'll do 5:30 next time.
Unfortunately, the camera died yesterday. So I'll go digital for a while.

Could you give us a brief summary, with numbers on rolls and months, of how well it's lasted? Do you still process them one roll at a time? At what point did consistency drop noticeably?

I process one roll at a time and the chemicals are ~2-3 months old now (don't remember precisely). I think I've gone through 10 rolls and there was never a point when consistency dropped. It haven't been consistent at all! And I'm sure it's all my own fault. Anyway, it has given me better results than I ever dreamt of, so I'm going to continue using the kit and buy a new one when the dev time is way up there.
This is the P67? Do you know what went wrong?
Something with the metering prism. I get a message saying "PErr" in the top display, and the camera is locked whenever the prism is on the camera. I'll send it off to someone. Luckily I just bough a Voigtländer Bessa III today, so I'll continue shooting 6x7. In fact I'm going out with it right now.
ken.vs.ryu thanks for posting a picture of your pretty little "family" I love mine too. I use the 40 and 90, haven't gotten around to pick up a 28 yet. I use an om4t when I need close-up. I also have a nex 5 that I haven't used lately because I'm really loving shooting film. jd
Question to the film community - I'm leaving this weekend for a nice 10 day trip from the Grand Canyon up through Zion/Bryce and maybe Arches. I'll have my digital setup with me, but I am really looking to capture some of the vistas and nature with my medium format outfit. I was thinking of taking a 5 pack of Velvia 50 (dawn/dusk), 5 pack of Provia 100 (mid-morning/mid-afternoon), and a 5 pack of Portra 160 VC (mid-day/all-purpose). I'm on a Mamiya 7, which doesn't allow for any flexibility in film swapping mid-roll, so my parenthetical rules will most likely be tossed out the window on Day 2. Any other film suggestions for film I should take before I leave?

I don't get the mentality of buying different emulsions of film for one trip. You'll come home and none of your shots will not look like part of a series. I shoot 1 color and 1 black and white emulsion when I travel. It makes for simplicity, I don't accidentally shoot a roll of 50 at 100 or 400 or vice versa and it lets me concentrate on taking the best pictures I can. I'd take a tripod and a few packs of Velvia.
Me I leave for Mongolia tomorrow, if this super typhoon doesn't cancel my flight. I'm taking 65 rolls of Velvia 50 and 15 rolls of Neopan 400.

You're right, totally awesome film. I'd shoot it in dark markets, but never in something where I have enough light for Velvia or can bring a tripod. It's spectacular, but not Velvia.
