Portraiture via the 150mm – I can say that moving subjects are a lot harder to shoot with this set-up! However, I didn’t use it again for several months with a random roll of Lomography 800 that was given to me, possibly expired. A new battery proved it worked, a test roll of Fuji Pro 400h (lovely film) proved it work great. I bought one soon after, taking a bit of a gamble as it had laid dormant for ten years. By the time she had bestowed all its virtues onto me, I was sold. I was sure I would get one at the right price.Ī chance conversation with the owner of a 6×7, at the museum where I work, changed my mind. Hence I coveted a GS645s and constantly checked them out on online auctions for months. The large Fujicas looked rather cool, results posted everywhere looked sharp. However, I soon got distracted away by tales of unreliability (I think I read too many reviews and others’ opinions) and onto the rangefinder series offered by Fuji. Initially I considered the Pentacon Six as I had ‘cut my teeth’ with Praktica and assumed it was their enlarged version SLR. Abandoning digital cameras, I returned to film five years ago and dabbled a little with 120 stuff through vintage viewfinders and TLRs. That was the year I felt it was time to be more serious with my photography and that meant a serious medium format set-up.
