Just picked up a Mamiya 645 ProTL system. Why? Don't know really, guess because the price was so good and I like playing with gear. Test shots from first roll to see if I would have to send it back..
It's a keeper. Film was Portra VC160. I desaturated one of these shots as I prefer that look for that image.
Great portraits Huss - love the scans and the skin tones you got there. Really nice composition stonydeluxe the magenta cast does really complement the mood of the image.
Porta 160 VC expired in 2003 rated at ISO100 scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 9000. PP in photoshop and lightroom. Developed with the Tetenal C41 kit for 6min at 35'C.
The film colour curves are all over the place now and the film has definitely expired but you can do amazing things in Photoshop.
Two color Images are Kodak E100G and black and white is Ilford Delta 400 pro
I liked the scans from the Ilford quite a bit. I have some pro 400 h and portra 400 coming 000002100006 by Dpedraza1, on Flickr 000002100008 by Dpedraza1, on Flickr
Still out of action folks. My move to the US is complete now and I'm shooting a tiny bit of film, but my developing tanks are not here nor do I have any lab right now to process or scan my film. So here's one from the archives to contribute to the thread.
Wonderful photos everyone! I have several rolls of film I still need to develop. Will be some time before I do and even longer before I can scan. Keep up the awesome work everyone as every post has something inspiring!

Alpha, that first shot is seriously yellow! Nice reflection too.
Thank you RM! The trees there in Colorado are in full fall "bloom". Lots of bright (some even neon!) yellows and deep reds. Unlike back home in California, where the trees are stressed and not very healthy/vibrant.
