Some very nice shots, I got a PE 75/2.8 & PE 150/3.5 together with an ETRSi last month, haven't had time (or good weather) to shoot nearly enough yet though Smile

I think you have either a 60/2.8 or a 75/2.8, there's no 70/2.8 Bronica ETR-system lens.

Nice pics. The grain is pretty much non-existant.

I used to have a Beetle about 3 years ago. I didn't have it long as it was a pain to keep getting in and out of, plus it seemed to spend more time off the road than on.

Hexi - I developed a roll of Delta for a pal and couldn't see any difference in grain comparing to my FP4+. The Delta had expired though and this was 135 not 120 where I gues the difference may be noticeable.

I like great contrast of delta, but grain seems similar to hp5. Maybe the difference will be visible when the files will be copied to paper.

Nice pictures, I especially like the last one (boy portrait)
Did you use a yellow filter on #2 ? Effect is nice.
#2 also has some strange flat looking leaves on topleft corner.

Orio - you`re right, i used orange filter on #2

Nice shots.....beats me why anybody uses 35mm for b/w when it's just as cheap to develope the neg (120) yourself and medium format gear in now within reach of ordinary photographers for prices.

Just a snap shot with a RB67 in B/w taken about 25 years ago:-

It's not all that difficult developing your own slides either. I used to do a lot of E-6 developing with a very simple setup using the kits you can buy for it. When buying in the larger quantities it can also be quite economical.

As for 35mm vs MF, well each format has its own look which is further defined by the lenses used. I suspect though that the reason why more people don't switch over can be any number of reasons. Ignorance, inertia, apathy, preference for 35mm, etc.

I think large format is not more expensive than 35mm. Offcourse in one roll of film i have only 15 frames, but it makes me thing more before pressing the shutter button. Few times i also tried to develop C41 films (i found old c41 chemicals) and had a good, interesting results Smile

Well once upon a time in 35mm, I was so pleased photographing in b/w erm well kodachrome and colour negs were expensive so that might have something to do with it. But now, I just couldn't go around photographing in b/w using my 35mm cameras, as I know what medium format can achieve in quality.

But in scanning all my old negs had a bit of nostalgia when looking and remembering these shots from a S3 Pentax:-

Hi there,

like your shots ... and good use of the orange filter.

How about some shots with your new 50mm lens Smile?

Cheers!
