I was super disappointed with the first two rolls of film I put through my second Mamiya 6 Six Automat (which I previously wrote about here). Each frame had a huge block of white across the top. This “defect” was uniform on each frame of the two rolls I put…

Kuribayashi Petri is not a camera maker I was familiar with. I think I came across a random YouTube video about one of their cameras and its owner was praising it. So I did what anyone in my position would do. I went to Ebay. I found one with a…

Continue reading →: Mamiya x 2
I mentioned in a previous post that I ended up with two identical copies of the same camera. It turns out they’re only near identical. I’m talking about my pair of Mamiya 6 Six Automats. I hadn’t noticed the differences between the two right away. But I eventually noticed that…

I wasn’t in the market for this camera nor did I know anything about it prior to seeing a local ad for one on Facebook Marketplace. I did some research and decided I’d snatch it up. The seller was asking $175. A quick check of eBay showed this model was…

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect-for-me vintage medium format camera. I’ve been using and enjoying the Agfa Isolette III which produces tack sharp images. You can see some photos I’ve taken with the Agfa here, here and here. I really like it, but it can be cumbersome to…

I’ve been wanting to try this new-to-me developer, Diafine, for a while now. I’ll spare the technical jargon about why it’s different from other developers I’ve used in the past. Instead, just enjoy these photos I developed in it. The setting was Cosmosphere, a space museum in Hutchinson, KS. It’s…

I have a wide assortment of film. Multiple sizes, brands and speeds. The lowest speed film I have is 50 ASA. I love the fine grain and sharpness offered by this slow speed. I got great results a while back shooting CineStill 50 Daylight film in 120 format. My most…

My first time developing medium format film blew me away. Prior to that, I’d only ever developed 35mm. Most everyone is familiar with that size format. In comparison, 120 film negatives are BIG. My 120 medium format cameras are were all 6×6 (6cm x 6cm or 56mm x 56mm). Square.…
