OoOoOoOo...as if the Medium Format bug wasn't biting hard enough...Awesome shots!!! I love that last one. The texture is so good you can almost feel it.

Ditto Hobbes' comment. I especially like #4. Got anymore?

I have a few more color MF of JT but none I really like. I am working on developing my MF & 35mm B&W. Likely will end up taking it to the lab this weekend.

PG - The batteries came today thanks

I really like them, but they seem a bit blurred. Nice shots nonetheless!

Not sure what you mean by blurred. But Agfa films tend to be soft. And can be made even soft by pulling 25-50 iso below the film speed, but developed normally. I chose to shoot this film hoping it would be forgiving, Because, I was shooting the film in camera with no light meter or ISO setting.

Here's another fan of Photo 4 - and hey: you took these with a Rolleiflex? Wow. Evokes memories from way back when my dad used to take out the Rolleiflex for "special photos", that is 35 - 40 years ago!

And I like the "pas de deux" of the Joshua Trees in Photo 5. Don't you think they look like ballet dancers? At least the larger ones in the background?

Jeff Canes · Mar 31, 2005

Thanks for all the positive comments.:heart:
My favorites are numbers 7 & 1
And I add some description info just clear thinks up.
Yes, LaFoto they do kind look like dancers :wink:

I love that last one, the texture is just amazing, feels like I could touch it (and then jump back and say "ouch" just like I did in real life!). Thanks for sharing these Jeff. Our bank account is going to be very upset with you and Chase for getting us so interested in medium format!
