If there is one thing I miss (apart from spotting film), is my Mamiya 6. That was a really portable medium-format system.Always good to see the “portable”, “lightweight” medium format system in the field. I don’t miss my Mamiya 6x7 at all
This is the raison d'être for my FrankenKamera projects! Because I want my movements -- well, at least a rear rise / fall movement -- but not the hassle of dealing with a backpack or camera bag and carrying around too much gear, just in case.
For those not needing more than a shortish standard lens, the Voigtländer Bessa III (or Fujifilm GF670; same camera) is even more portable. I had one for a year or so and loved it, with its big, bright rangefinder, super sharp lens and both 6x6 and 6x7 modes. However, the rangefinder was slightly miscalibrated so I got rid of it.The Mamiya 7II, on the other hand actually *is* a portable, light-weight medium format system. But when I think portable light-weight, I think "phone".
Exactly! I'm probably "HSP" (highly sensitive person) too, which makes every small distraction or discomfort pretty annoying.
It's actually kind of detailed if you look past the "double" image from the double glass in the window, which is quite incredible since it was shot at 1/15 second. Love IBIS!
It was a cold yet beautiful evening at the Baltic Coast, Germany. Fantastic light after sunset - made it easy to stay out

That’s what I thought too. I’d probably have shot an even slower shot but I love the simplicity and hint of texture in the sea.
Thanks to both of you! Sugimoto is always a great source of inspiration. It also works in colorThat’s what I thought too. I’d probably have shot an even slower shot but I love the simplicity and hint of texture in the sea.
Take a page from Ansel Adams and put a platform on top of your car!Here's a picture that required a high vantage point (big tripod + stepladders). Fuji GFX100S + Pentax 67 400mm f4 EDIF lens.

I then blended the scene with a sky from elsewhere...
And here's the finished shot.
I have thought about it! But would it be steady enough for a 600mm (plus 1.4x) shot?Take a page from Ansel Adams and put a platform on top of your car!
Don't joke. I just got my new mobile camera bag, the Subaru Outback Wilderness. Roof rails supposedly handle up to 700 lbs (static).Take a page from Ansel Adams and put a platform on top of your car!
I’ve thought the same Dave although I’m rocking a CrosstrekDon't joke. I just got my new mobile camera bag, the Subaru Outback Wilderness. Roof rails supposedly handle up to 700 lbs (static).

I’d love to see this as a suggestion in a camera bags thread…Don't joke. I just got my new mobile camera bag, the Subaru Outback Wilderness. Roof rails supposedly handle up to 700 lbs (static).

the back or the hatch near the front. Lots of room up there but mustn't stand on the solar panel!
Oh, is that a solar panel? I thought it was a camera platform!
It might well take a camera - but not my 76 kilos!
Might need to start a diet.
