Show us your Medium Format film shots

gabruzzi · Feb 27, 2020

Since this forum is just starting off, we need our complement of format specific photo threads, so lets see some medium format shot--6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9 and so on. Heck, throw in the little 4x4 cameras as well.

I'll start this off with a few from my Bronica ETRSi and Pentax 67:

Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon-PE 1:2.8 50mm, Kodak Ektar 100

Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon-E 1:3.5 150mm, Fomapan 200

Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon-PE 1:2.8 75mm, Ilford Delta 3200

And for the Pentax:

Pentax 67, SMC Takumar 1:3.5/55mm, Kodak TMAX100

Pentax 67, SMC Takumar 1:2.8/150mm, Kodak T400CN (Xpro in E6)

Pentax 67, SMC Takumar 1:2.8/150mm, Ilford Delta 3200

This was on a roll of 400 Portra that I had in the fridge, early 2000s date.

I just dropped my first roll of 120 at the lab so it'll be the new year before I get them back.

I'll be back.

That's some pretty cool ice. You're not going to tell us what gear you used?

Those are wonderful.

The ability to use wide latitude film developed with even greater latitude is the chemical equivalent of Photoshop.

I've not used HP5 for decades, but it's rated ISO 400 out of the box if I recall, so you shot it at ISO 1250 - underexposing by 2 stops, right? Then pushed development by 3 stops @ 1600 to build up the density. What does that do in effect? Does it give the shadows a kick and lift your mid-tones while retaining detail in the highlights? Just trying to contrast (excuse the pun) versus if you had shot it at ISO 400 and developed it normally @400. I'm guessing you effectively expanded the dynamic range for such a high contrast subject.

The one thing everyone can agree on is that film photography has its negatives. It even has its positives and internegatives.

It really is. I'm really happy with results.

To be honest I just did something that I saw someone did here on forum. It was my first time doing that and I just started developing few days ago. But I like your explanation
