I'm in love with my new medium format camera

[cestlefun17]

I finally got my first roll of film back from my Mamiya 645 pro (Ilford Delta 100). I am in love!! I have been using 35mm for a while and wanted something more...about a year ago I tried doing 4x5 but it was too much, too soon. Nothing came out properly in focus, and the camera was a pain in the butt to lug around. I love this camera because it's just like a 35mm SLR (just a little bit bigger), but the difference in resolution and dynamic range is huge! And the beautiful bokeh thanks to the larger focal plane.

Yup, medium-format is a revelation I've got a Mamiya 645 too and it's a gem.

It surely does NOT have that m4/3 background-in-focus-from 15-feet-to-Infinity look!!!
