  • ..... Mamiya ..... cheap

    Lolz :-)

    A Fuji ga645i?

    Pay someone to make contacts... then pay them to scan the chosen frames. Not expensive but a 'slow' process for 201516.

    Not sure about big. Have you tried then on instant film as sets?

    What I meant was I could use a Mamiya 645 of a friend, or buy one on eBay for very little money.

    ..where I live (Berlin) proper scans cost a fortune. We don't have deals for dev & scan like you do in the UK.

    Not sure I follow you.

    instagram?

    Definately unsure I'm following you..

    Quite a good idea. I thought you'd be going for a (nice, but pricey) rangefinder (mamiya 7).

    I see. This is sad - there used to be ton. Scanning sucks.

    If you want the prints large I guess you want to bring out detail and the textures of the road and paint? If that's what your after an fx dslr would give you the greatest clarity.

    I think your markings shots are perhaps most interesting as a set. A number of prints displayed together.

    They are very simple, graphic photos so I'd instinctively go to small formats to try; A zine, Instax actually has the right field of view so might be fun to try (and it's medium format) ;-)

    I was suggesting an instagram feed because many are dedicated to a specific type of shots, such as collections road markings! Instagram is great for these types of things - many users have a feed for colour 35mm and another for bw, or mood shots, portraits etc.

    I hope I have explained myself.
