TBH I think they are suffering from a combination of camera shake and focusing errors. I actually do struggle to nail the focus on the ground glass without using the split prism. So for candid shots I miss the mark sometimes! Also I shared some of the better shots from before...... these are probably seconds.

Hello dear non-digital shooters,
just catching up on things after a little hiatus..
@TooTallTim
I really like that "Expired Boots E6, Om4Ti" shot (the one on the beach), it's very calm, and simple, in a way that it feels "just right". Lovely light and colours as well; would put that up in my room, it's got a very nice vibe I think.
@mi7rennie
Please don't take this the wrong way but why are non of those "bike packing" shots (and a lot of other Rollei shots you posted) like really sharp?
It's from the Rolleicord, right? They're all shot pretty wide open, so not much depth of field of course, yet it makes me wonder if there's something wrong with the thing, as I know you are capable of focusing a manual camera

..wow, nice location to test the Bronica. Nice shots as well! Do you enjoy shooting with it?
@miro_o - I’m finding focusing with my left hand up high, and having the release down by the lens really weird.
..what model is that? All the ones I used had the focusing knob on the right.
Still took me a while to operate that shutter nicely, but as has been said it's usually very smooth and very quiet..
@haveo - mju ii, can't remember what film
Love the second shot. Nice tree, nice colours (bet it's Fuji).
@platypus - c200 looks cheap however you use it
No offense, but maybe if you looked at some pictures shot with it by people who know what they are doing you'd come to a different conclusion.
Just if you took a quick look at flickr or something, you might change your mind rather quickly
