It's big. It's detailed. I love it!
I recently picked up 15 rolls of 120 film for $30. Unexpired and some amazing film stock. Ten rolls of Kodak Tri-X 400 and five of Kodak Portra 400. I don't own a medium format camera but couldn't pass up this killer deal. Through the power of social media, I was able to acquire (on loan) a Mamiya m645 1000s with 80mm lens. In. LOVE!
After cleaning the camera thoroughly and hooking up a battery, away I went to shooting. The focus is a bit odd as in you have to eyeball it. I missed out on a couple properly focused portraits but 90% of everything worked out just dreamy. As you can see in the second image, there is a slight light leak that only effected two of the 30 frames I shot. Here are some of my top shots with Ms. Mattea Swegles.
P.S. I've been a 35mm shooter for years. To shoot medium format in 6x4.5 is mesmerizing. The detail is out of this world.
