bleached and scanned polaroid negative. Came out pretty sweet. Definitely want to mess with this and see what i can come up with SCANNED POLAROID NEGATIVE by escnewyork, on Flickr
Just bought a Mamiya 7 and a Sekor 43 yesterday so I'll sell my GSW690 pretty soon. I'm losing some resolution but 28mm vs 21mm really makes a difference even if I plan to shoot the 7 mainly at 6x6.
If they all fit in my Ona Brixton bag -which I think they will- taking the Mamiya 6 with the 75 and the 150 and the Mamiya 7 with the 43 in one single bag is going to be one hell of a MF kit
The Mamiya 7 / 43 is a great combo. Ultimately has more resolution and contrast than the GSW690III despite the smaller neg. I have both also, and they have different uses for me but the Mamiya 7 system is I think one of (if not the) best medium format system ever made, particularly for the lenses.
Nice work with the Graflex RB 4x5. I shoot one of these too, though it's the smaller version, converted to 4x5. I use it with a few different lenses, but mostly a 200mm Pentac, 270 Nikkor-T, and 360/5.5 Tele arton. Pics of my conversion here:

Gotta love 4x5 and Graflex made so many interesting cameras it's great to see them get continued use. I shoot a Crown and Speed 4x5 also.

Thanks for the kind words Ed, most appreciated. Nice work with yours from what I see on that thread. I am having a lot of fun with it so far, and loaded the 1168 Grafmatic "Six-Shooter" which is made for these, last night with Delta 100. I'm going to bring it to an antique auto & aircraft show in nearby Rhode Island this weekend, and hopefully get some decent shots with it. I have three lenses (barrel) mounted for it so far, with a fourth on the way from one of my favorite shops in Reno (NV). It is a beast, but really breaks the ice when you want to get photos in some unique situations...people generally (so far) just say "Sure!"
Here is a shot taken with the Ilex 163mm f4.5 bare (no Telek lens), at around 6 feet, the maximum focus distance (the Graflex 4x5 Series D needs ~190mm FL), on Delta 100.

The biggest problem with my Mamiya 7 is finding a bag that will actually fit it and not have it be ridiculously big. Let me know if it works!
I will as soon as it arrives. I measured the bag and I think I can fit a Mamiya 6 with a collapsed 75, a 150 and the 7 with the 43. But the 7 must go in in rotated 90º and with the top plate facing the buckles.
Bought some Fuji quickload 4X5 film 'by mistake' and, since I couldn't get it to work with my Polaroid 545 holder, I cannibalized the quickloads and put the sheets in a standard Riteway holder. For 10 year old expired film, it doesn't look too bad IMO.
