I miss Tsukiji, Toyosu doesn't have the vibe that Tsukiji had...or the rats that abandoned the place when it closed downThe old Tsujiki fish market in Tokyo.
Love these colors, John!:thumbup:I must say, I'm enjoying this thread. Thanks, Dave, for getting it started!
Here's one from my archives - shot in Y2K on Ektachrome Pro with my Hasselblad SWC (I think) and "scanned" with a Nikon D800E (a two-image stitch, if I recall correctly). Original image was 6x6; I cropped off a bit of the top for better framing.

Graham,Those who frequent the analog forum may have seen my shots there in the last year. I've been shooting a Hasselblad 503cx and digitizing the film with a Sony A7rII. It's been a fun side project to return to film and try medium format, I only ever really shot 35mm in B&W back in the late 90s and went digital after that. It's been fun to give slide film and color negatives a try for a bit, as well as some B&W negative. Here are a couple of recent images, shot on Velvia:
Thanks! I have been pleased at the quality as well. I had some Tri-X lab-scanned at "ultra-high" res (~24MP) to compare and the result is similar to what I get with the A7rII (~20MP after cropping). My setup is basically the same as other tutorials online show. The image below shows my setup with a tripod and using an iPad for light. The frame holds the film away from the LCD panel to avoid capturing any RGB pattern, but sometimes I get newton rings from the glass if my focus is too deep. Ignore the glass layer on top of the film--I was experimenting with how to get it to lay flat, but now I use a cardboard matte cut to size (a 3D-printed holder would be nice at some point!). A lightbox and copystand would be better:Graham,
Wonderful! The scans are better than I have been getting from the lab. Can you elaborate on your scanning setup!
