Andy did start already two successful thread for 6x6 and 6x9 medium format images. I think it would be nice to see some 6x4,5 images two. No matter it is made by 6x4,5 camera or bigger one with insert.

Attila and Bill, there's serious Pearl envy over here Laughing those sure look to be excellent cameras, Bill, I've always admired those indoor shots.
Attila - you have a Bessa I Vaskar with insert! I missed that, as I have one too (I mean the insert) Does the insert fit any of your other Bessas?

Bridge over is fantastic Jussi a dream shoot! I don't know insert is compatible with other Bessa of not. I didn't care much about it I think they are not compatible with each others.

Konica Pear's are nice wonderful cameras I have duplicate copies from Pearl I and II. If I see any on Ebay or one of mine will go to sale I will let you know. I saw a Pearl II which I think best deal from all on Ebay in last few weeks it wasn't taken perhaps still there.

This is what's responsible to my entire vintage camera nonsense... from the first roll through a Franka 6x4.5 that our eldest daughter bought at some yard sale, and our youngest (pictured) found and prodded me to figure out how to use.

First test shots from Fuji GA645zi for black and white film.
Nothing to crow about, but they do show that the zi works okay! Laughing
I think the last b&w image fooled the autofocus, and I see that better
results would probably be there if I had opened up 1 stop or so.

The color image is SHARP on the slide and in Photoshop. Lost a
lot of sharpness when uploading and posting, darn it. Sad It's a
little better if you click on it, but still loses the original sharpness.
In fact, the zi shows a beautifully sharp lens for slides. I'm actually
quite amazed at the zoom lens and its rendering of images. Wish
you could see the slide in person on the lightbox.

Nothing great about this shot, but does show the standard ETRS 75mm is VG for 3D effect, bokeh and sharpness:-

I'm not sure if these apply, as they've been taken with a reflex camera.
However:















Taken with Contax 645 and different lenses.
