Bees! (Fujica gw690 + 800t)

This couple parked their car, left and within moments it was swarmed with bees. Luckily I was on my bicycle and had my camera in my backpack.

120 Film vs. 100MP Digital — My Medium Format Trip to South Korea (Hasselblad 500C/M & X2D II)

Spent some time traveling through South Korea recently and decided to pack a rather heavy two-camera setup: my trusty classic Hasselblad 500C/M and the modern Hasselblad X2DII.

I wanted to see how the two systems complemented each other without trying to force them to match in post.

It was an incredible experience contrasting the historic spaces of Gyeongju and the ultra-modern architecture of Seoul using two entirely different eras of the same camera system.

The Gear:
Analog: Hasselblad 500C/M
Digital: Hasselblad X2DII
Film Stocks: Kodak Gold 200

Particularly loved shooting the iconic solitary magnolia at the Gyeongju Tumuli on both systems at different times of the day (included both shots here back-to-back!).

Happy to answer any questions about workflow, traveling with this much gear, or the specific lenses used for either setup!

Criticism / advice for a new 120 shooter? Mamiya C220 | Kodak Gold 200 / Fomapan 100 | Mix of Mamiya Sekor 80mm F 3.7 & 105mm F3.7 DS

So I am completely new to medium format, and still quite new to film in general. For context these shots are all direct scans from the lab with minor editing on my phone as I do not have a PC or scanner currently. Any criticism’s or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I tend to just take the camera around with me on walks or to meet up with friends in the car scene, meter with a mobile app and have a very old janky tripod when needed.

I will say I love the 6x6 format a lot!

Advice on first medium format Camera

I'm looking to venture into the land of 120 film and I'd like to find a camera that, doesn't break the bank, is reliable and is relatively transportable as I'd mainly like to use it on hikes/trips.

Some cameras I've looked at but don't think will work are:

- Mamiya 6 or 7: Seem perfect but not affordable, especially given that I've heard their electronics make them a bit of a gamble with expensive repairs for an expensive camera.

- Fuji 645 rangefinders: nice and compact but the GAs are expensive & rely on electronics, the GS645 looks pretty ideal but I've heard it's fragile. Anything with bellows seems fragile and like it won't last.

My top choices right now are the Fuji GW690 (would prefer the 6x7 or 6x8 version but they are rarer and much more expensive) and the Mamiya 645. I know these cameras seem very different at first but they both review well, are reliable and are somewhat portable. My main question is: How does the portability/packability of these two cameras compare? The Fuji, being a big range finder seems easier to carry around but more awkward to fit into a bag compared to the 645 that is pretty much just the shape of a box (with the waist level VF at least).

Would appreciate any comments from people that have experience with these cameras and please let me know if any of my ideas about these cameras are wrong.

Just showing off a balsam wood tlr that I bought off a Vietnamese company off FB. LOL <off topic>

Only the lens hood is detachable. This is of course an ornament. 2nd picture shows the seller’s other cameras. LOL

Golden hour photos. Mamiya C330 | 105mm | Cinestill 800T

Just got my camera back for a repair and ran a roll of cinestill 800T through it to see how things were working.

Then I ordered 3 more rolls of 800T. I’m really growing to love this film.
