So it is once more time to throw all overboard (almost).
I have decided to just shoot analog for the coming two years with regards to my landscape photo.
So I am now selling all my 645 Mamiya stuff + the P45+ back. It is not totally without remorse that I do this.
But I do it to make things harder for my self as I actually has become to comfortable with this digital solution.
I always try to make life harder for my self regarding my creative work. And it has always helped me on in my artistry.
When I bought my firs really good printer, the Epson 4800 I realized that about 90% of my photos I had to throw away because they was not technically good enough for printing at 17 inch.
Then I bought an Canon iPF8300 44 inch printer and immediately realized that I had to again throw away 90% of the remaning photos
That also made me buy one big and fat Gitzo tripod
And now to use 6x6, 6x12 and 4x5 and a little 8x10 for landscape. That means even fewer photos.
But that is ok, I only need one good photo per" photo day” to make me happy.
What happen after this two years I do not know. But I do keep my Mamiya RZD system with lenses and film backs and the adapter plate for digital backs i M-mount!
And I do have the two tilt shift lenses for this system to mitigate the departure of my Hartblei 45mm Tilt/Shift lens for the 645 system.
The Hartblei has become my absolute favorite lens for the 645 system.
So I would just want to say thank you all here that has helped me gain knowledge and skill in using the medium format system and using a digital back :thumbs:
Life is always so much simpler if you had the possibility to stand on the broad shoulders of others that has walked the samme path before you.
And there is a lot of those shoulders on this site!!!
But I will continue to pester you with analog photos
