I bet it is quite a rewarding experience using that 4x5. 
Some Kentmere 400 developed in Rodinal shot with an xd-11. First shot is with a really cheap variable aperture push pull zoom lens, 2nd with rokkor 58/1.4 probably wide open.

and then this one. Way overexposed a few frames, this negative was so dense, it was basically black. I was able to salvage the frame and got a great old school salt and pepper gritty look so I went with it.

Hi Jon, it definitely is! The DoF and resolution are incredible with this kind of camera! Focusing on the matt glass view can be tricky since details can't be easily magnified (my matt has a loupe in the middle of the glass, but it is only partially helpful there). So next time I need to hold my own little magnification glass in front of it to focus precisely since I become a bit long-sighted
.
Only con so far is the attraction you get with this kind of camera. Other photographers turned around and suddenly took pictures of me when I was underneath the cloth to focus and compose. Definitely anti-Leica experience where I can shoot very inconspicuously.

From a lost roll of film, found in an old Minolta srt201 I sold recently. Probably from this time last year. Had a warm day and went motorcycle riding, the first after the winter. So, here is to warmer days ahead and time for riding season!
gold 400 and probably the rokkor 50/1.7.

No photos, but I thought some here might be interested:

Traditional dark room would be a no-go for my wife so I've sent rolls off. Looking forward to being able to develop my own.

Here some test shots I just got back
These are on Cinestill 800T.. I shot the 1st 4 without a warming filter, the others, especially houses were shot with it.
This 120 roll is from motion picture stock that has had the remjet removed like their 35mm stock.
This was part of an Indiegogo (like Kickstarter) effort.
My original "perk" was for 5 rolls but they sent me two extra to "test" with as these all were off their 1st full production run.
Overall I like it. The colors are great & the grain isn't too bad for 800 ISO..
It will probably take them another year to get the 50 ISO stock, which is what I prefer.
I would be tempted to do some "serendipitous" landscape shooting hand held with this
All taken with the Mamiya 7, 50mm lens w/finder.
These next two are without a filter
The rest have a warming filter

Below are a couple of my first shots, just exploring my new (to me) Minolta CLE. Minolta 40mm lens and Ektar 100. Lab processed and scanned.
I also bought a Bronica ETRSI, which I am just starting to figure out.
My question - Am I crazy to think about traveling to Europe with the Bronica? (I'm not exactly young.) But I think I'm really going to enjoy medium format... Maybe I should consider...Show more →
Welcome, and nice pics!
Your question re traveling to Europe. I have most of the cameras you mentioned - the CLE, the GW690 and one very similar to your Bronica, a Mamiya 645 ProTL.
The CLE is so tiny, it doesn't even count in the consideration if you should take it. Take it. But the bigger format cameras - well, the negs they make are amazing and you didn't buy one to leave it at home! The GW690 would be easier to take along, but it only shoots 8 images per roll, even though they are 8 gorgeous 6x9 images. An advantage is that it is a very simple, very tough camera. But you already have the Bronica, so I would be inclined to take it as long as you shoot a bunch of film through it first to make sure everything works, and you get used to using it.
My complete 645 kit is stoopid heavy but that's because I have too much of it. If you travel with just one body, one lens and a couple of backs it should be ok. You may want to spend a day walking around with the kit you are thinking of taking with you to see if you will be comfortable carrying it all day.

I will second retro's comment about attracting attention. Sometimes it's fine, but when folks start asking questions it distracts me from what I'm doing. There are several steps, while simple, one missed & the shot is wasted. I'm getting better at politely fending off the questions til I'm done.

Got a roll of Acros Neopan back. May well be my favorite stock. Also learned just how much I appreciate double exposure prevention, and that I need to roll my film tighter...

Desmolicious -
That was good advice to travel with one lens only on my Bronica. I hadn't thought of that.. I might also leave off the speed grip, even though it is very convenient, because it significantly reduces the size.
The two below are from my first roll of 35mm film self-developed and self-scanned. HP5+, Ilfotec HC and scanned with my Sony A7Rii. Not at all sure how well this camera scanning system will work out...

Dan, that's pretty doggoned smooth for 800 ISO film! Very nice work. Call me crazy but I like the un-warmed shots.

Noah, how did I miss this?
I admit I was a bit skeptical about the 800T for both color & noise.
But as my experience & your post show, it looks like a great film

Yeah, I didn't know what to expect as I never shot with any of the cinestill films before. The "corrected" color version looked fairly close to what I saw. Very fine grain and seems to be quite sharp also. Then again the 43mm is quite legendary as with most Mamiya 7 glass. For me it was also very easy to scan compared to other films which have a lot of curl. These lower res files don't do justice though. I should be shooting some portraits with it tomorrow, with my RZ. Can't wait to see what I can get out of those. I have 6 more rolls left. I think I'll definitely get more when they come on sale.
