Started getting back into medium format and beginning to shoot with my Hasselblad again. I also picked up a Pentax 67II in a trade which came with the 105mm that instagram seems to go gaga over. Looking forward to getting to know this monster!

Congrats! Does your 105mm have any yellowing? I bought one recently and it is quite yellow but otherwise mint. Should have checked it out in better light I suppose. Apparently UV light will cure it but not sure it this is an old wives tale...

No the one I have is a very late model so as far as I know it lacks the radiated elements. I'm potentially looking to add a late model 55mm f/4 as well as I think I'm taking to this camera quite nicely, might move around a couple other pieces of gear that aren't getting much use to compensate. I do like that the P67 lenses are relatively inexpensive (at least compared to what I'm accustomed to from Leica!)
Here's another with the same P67II combo and TMAX 400. *Sorry if it's too large. I'm still figuring out my ideal image host since Flickr hosed us all. I haven't quite figured out the best export size to balance enough resolution / size for adequate sharing.
This Nikon really is an outstanding P&S camera. Great lens, super simple controls with the huge bonus of being able to turn on the flash whenever you want. Takes 2 AA batteries. Waterproof. Quiet.
