My Mamiya RZ was a love affair at the first sight.
We first meet at a trade show, in a both from a local photo gear supplier.
I went straight in and picked her up in my hands when I saw her.
She fitted right in in my hand, we where made for each other.
So there and then I decided on a marriage!

But this dealer was not for me, so I went home and started to scan the local Swedish photo adds.
And in a week I found a large RZ kit from a pro that was going 100% digital + half a freezer of film.

Then it was just a matter of time before I got a digital back, a P45.
So The RZ and the P45, a double love affair for me

To work with the waist level finder was to be part of the scene, to in some way participate directly.
It was to be actively engaged in creation. Perfect for portrait.

Then I got side tracked by commercial clients complaining of slow process with the RZ and I switched to AFD for quicker focus.
But the only thing I really gained was a big camera in my face that got in the way,
excluded me in some what from direct participation in the proces of creation.
I dumped my true love for a pair of legs, so to say :poke:
And constantly regretting that switch.

So, checking different possibility to get back to my try love.
Soooone now, once again I will drown in her eyes, ehh I mean look deep in her waist level finder.
Or, hmm, well you know what I mean :chug:

Having snow today (free, if anyone wants any), I was playing around. Pentax 645D and A 120mm macro. This is one of my grandfather's tools.



This is a 100% crop and the image was made at f/16. This is right out of ACR.



However, this is the image I really like from the session. This is also right out of ACR and a straight camera image.

Okay Ray,
You know I am a woman right? You are so romantic :p Don't write stuff like that for me to read!! :D

I have a RZ IID + P45, but the RZ is packed away. I think I'll pull mine out and see if I can find the 'love' too!

Well Darr, I was born in -54 and based on what ever little wisdom I gathered during this journey,
I now declare that the only thing that matters for me is to follow my true, creative heart :angel:
Anything else, it is just a waste of whatever time I got left.

Now, the creative "romance" I have with my camera equipment is way more important than what the looks of its specifications might be.

So of course, you should bring your RZ out and start the dance :thumbup:

This is absolutely not just only a pretty picture, it is an ART.
Master work, Ray!
Thanks for sharing.

Heavy crop of a hand-held shot with a 400mm lens in bad light. The image will never see print form; nonetheless, I thought you all might enjoy it. If you ever feel you've eaten too much - relax, you really haven't.

I really like this image Joe. Then again...I'm very partial to the look of the Leica S. Your image really represents the accurate rendering of this camera. Just beautiful!

All the best,
Derek

+1! I really like the natural rendering of Joe's image too. Too often, flower pics are over processed.
