Great recent shots, all. I have a roll of undeveloped Velvia shot with my Hasselblad 503cx that I'm itching to see, but stuck in corona lockdown for a few weeks here at least. In the meantime, I've been windowshopping even larger format cameras like 4x5 or 6x17.
6x17 is a whole lot easier to deal with and much more convenient to shoot. If you really like the panoramic look, then it is a no brainer. I've shot all the way up to 12x20 so I am quite familiar with how each of these formats work. I still have some 6x17 positives and they're spectacular to look at. Also, the Horseman 6x12 is fantastic and it is one of my great camera-selling regrets.
Good Luck,
Joel

I've been revisiting older shoots since we're on lockdown. Posted over in the People section but here are a few of Lucinda Williams shot in the mid 90's for a CD that never came out. I was surprised to see that I was shooting Kodachrome 200 for most of these which was a really interesting film - fairly grainy but much sharper than the grain would imply with a very interesting color palette. I had actually forgotten how much I like Kodachrome 200. A really beautiful film. And the Agfa too in a very different way. We don't see too many images on either of these today.

Beautiful work as always Peter!
That film is surprisingly grainy, but gives it its own signature.

Thanks Huss. That film was so beautiful. Grainy and sharp at the same time. How did they do that.

Here are some of my snapshots from a trip to Cebu, Philippines. Hasselblad 2003FCW, Zeiss 50/2.8, Fuji Provia and Kodak TMAX 100. Metering with iPhone. I'm still very early into learning film. Few key things learned here: Slide has limited dynamic range - need grad nd next time, tripod is a key for Hasselblad, orange filter doesn't do anything with overcast sky. Street photography takes some guts to either blend in or interact with strangers. I often tried to rush it and messed up composition, focus, exposure or all three

@pkupcik Excellent street work, and with a Hassy! The 2000F series have a shutter release that sounds like a gunshot.

Thank you rico. Appreciate the feedback. Yeah the shutter is pretty loud - and I thoroughly enjoy it; kind of like an engine sound from a vintage sportscar. Has a lot of character without sounding broken

Superb use of the 50/2.8!
I've had a 503CW for about six weeks and have it almost figured out. I don't believe however that a tripod is a necessity. Intending to make pictures with flash, I recently purchased a flash bracket and found that it makes the camera much easier to hand hold so I use it now for non-flash work as well. I should have said that I purchased two flash brackets because I was unaware that Hasselblad reversed the order of the 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads on the camera so brackets for the 500 cameras don't work on the later models.

I used 6x6 cameras for many years, starting in the early 1970s, and still miss the orientation-free shooting experience. This is particularly convenient for flash brackets and Hassy's integrated quick-release rail on the bottom. No need for dual controls on the body, and L-brackets.

Ektachrome, c. 1985. Was able to scan at 4000dpi due to good light and small grain. Most likely F2AS/F3HP and 105mm f1.4 lens.
