More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

[seakayaker]

Here's another one from me. 05.30 in the morning, and the monk came out, wondering what I was doing with that big thing on a tripod outside his temple. I said I was waiting to take his portrait

GX680 and Acros again

Jorgen, love the photograph and love the fantastic story behind it even better. "I said I was waiting to take his portrait." I couldn't help but laugh when I read that and thought about the moment!

Also love the Ilford Pan F Plus 50 for B&W that you mentioned above to Patrick. Love the fine to no grain look and detail in the photographs. I have used it with my Rolliflex. Patrick if you are interested you can find some sample photographs in the TLR thread: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/analog-cameras/11690-tlrs-anyone-2.html in number 62 and 56. Also use the Pan F Plus 50 with the 35mm format and samples can be found here: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/analog-cameras/4052-how-about-more-more-fun-leica-m-film-55.html in # 2706.

Thank you Dan. Here's another one, and what I really went to Banteay Chhmar for.

After 800 years, overgrown by jungle, looting, war, genocide... it's still there. Banteay Chhmar is an amazing place in the middle of nowhere.

The SX-70 and Impossible film is so delightfully unpredictable...

Here's another with the Fotoman 612 and Fuji Acros.

This is really beautiful. I wish I could see it in a bigger size. Do you have a link to a bigger size?

Patrick, I really enjoyed the photos from the resort with your girlfriend and the parents. I also have a Konica T4, but I haven't used it in a very long time. Maybe I better give it a spin.

Jorgen, The photos with the 6x8 are really spectacular. That camera really meshes with your style.

Godfrey, Very cool. I like the unpredictable part of photography.

Godfrey, that is so nice. Love the effect.

The is a serious winner, Jorgen. Reminds me of the Farm Home Administration images from the Great Depression. A real timeless quality to this. :clap::clap::clap:

Thanks Jorgen!

Just looked through your GX680 work. Very nice indeed!

Now that camera is a bit of a bear to travel with. Kinda bulky and heavy. I've always loved medium format film work tho, I learned a lot of the basics with a '49 Rolleiflex that my grandfather loaned me and the 6x6 format is especially dear to me. I've had several Rolleiflexes, Yashicamats, etc, at last gasp I had both Hassy SWC and 500C/M. The SWC is the film camera I miss the most.

My interest in the format was revived when I happened into a pair of Zeiss Ikon Super Ikontas .. A and B. The B is the 6x6 model. But I didn't hang onto them long, they were sold somewhere around 2006. Loved the compact carryable nature of these folders. ... Now I'm waiting for the Balda Baldix 6x6 I found to arrive. If that works out well, one of the Fuji GF670s or Voigtländer Bessa IIIs could well find its way here.

There will be a reckoning sometime soon, I fear. I'm at a personal high water mark for fun cameras that I actually use. Between the SX70, the CL, the Rollei 35S, the Nikon F, the M4-2, the Baldix ... Sheesh! five *film* cameras already. It can't go on like this. Or can it ... ? =8^O

For a digital forum there is some seriously good stuff going on in here.

Better keep it secret or the mods might want to stop it

Jorgen, the Monk photograph alone is a real winner.

Jeremy, those tones are fantastic - I especially like the seated gent in the hat.

Hi Cindy,
thanks for the comments. It is a low res jpg, but if you click on the photo, it should open a wee bit bigger.

Yes, I did make it bigger, but I want to take a better look. It looks very nice!:clap:

Nice work with a wonderful lens. Lovely.

Although I keep seeing mixed review of that lens, making excellent photos with it seems to be very possible. Maybe I have to try that one out also

Thank you both for being so kind. I really appreciate it! And yes, the lens is really marvelous. Love it.
