Mamiya 80mm

Mamiya 7II + 80mm – Test (Roll 0).

2019, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Film, Inspiration, Kodak Ektar 100, Mamiya 7/7II, Mamiya 80mm, Portrait, Print, Street, Within 200 feet of My House™

10 images on a roll, I’m posting 7 (the others were duplicates).

Looks like everything is working as it should.

Haven’t used this film before (Kodak Ektar 100), but it was the only 120 colour film that was in stock locally.

Test Roll #1, Frames #4 and 5 of 10.

In the first shot I was re-familiarizing myself with the dynamic range, in the second the bokeh.  In both I was testing for the focus accuracy of my rangefinder.

1/125 | f/4 for both images.

So far, so good.

One thing about the 6 x 7 format I really appreciate is that everything is depicted in a “grand” way (even blue tongues!) and truer to life vs. the 35mm format.

The effect is always visible to my eye, but becomes more apparent  when comparing images from the two formats in a side-by-side fashion.
