Analog film photography and cameras

Yeah. Ektar has relatively wide tonal range (like dynamic range on digital or gamut in emitted light things) and strong colour saturation. It’s subjective but images on Ektar 120mm look nicer through my Rolleicord (a simple formula, uncoated lens) than on 135mm through Zeiss, Zuiko or Voightlander lenses. I think it’s because these lenses are all double coated and with higher overall contrast. They’re actually lenses designed for colour, but’s just a bit too much with Ektar. It’s easy to add contrast in post.

Light becoming fierce here in Berlin lately!

film, or some other factor

Agree with Turkish, will be a combination of other factors, most significally the scanner I presume.

Love this one!

I had a look back at one roll of Ektar I shot through a 35mm Mamiya and the tones are pretty similar to what I've been getting out of 120 Mamiya with Ektar.

Maybe it is a Mamiya vs Nikon glass thing ? I'll dig out the Mamiya ZM and run another few rolls of Ektar through it.
The lab I use (Palm) scanning is pretty consistent as they only have two people working there, so I don't think it's that.

Good that they have the decency to implicitly acknowledge that Fleisch is not a Lebensmittel. :)

RRB 12x16 easel, free to a good home, collection from NW1. PM me if you can take it.
These are great easels, second only to the RRB 4-blade ones which are £££

Really like the cemetary one.
Such light, much view..

Cheers ! It's the Whitby cemetery, which I'm sure everyone in the UK has taken a photo of at some point... The hard part is getting a photo without any other people taking a photo of it in your shot.

Love the beach hut one!

Absolutely lovely, all of them

Nice! Love the colours...

Thanks all and nice shot @Crimson_Ghost.

Another one for @SuperSalad - have you tried the winder grip on the Mamiya 645 ? Quite fancy the idea of a right handed grip (and auto-wind is pro), but again put off by the extra weight.

..yea you may have answered your own question right there - it is kinda cool / "pro" - but the question really is whether for you personally the benefits outweigh the, uh, weight.

The thing itself is heavy, plus don't forget it also needs a few batteries.
Oh, and it's a huge faff to mount it to / remove it from the body, be sure to have the manual handy.
