Just got the scans back from my first two rolls of film through my Bronica ETRSI. So shots I was really pleased with - amazing image quality compared with 35mm. Plenty well exposed but missed focus with the narrower DoF and the waist level finder.
Some shots though, came out really bad. Obvious camera shake, presumable from the heavy mirror slap, and they look overexposed. I'm sure that I never attempted to hand hold below 1/125. Which makes me think it could be an intermittend shutter speed fault?? Hopefully it's just user error. Examples below: 1 and 2 are shots I'm happy with (1 had some PP and 2 had none at all) 3 and 4 show the camera shake (with 2 clear images superimposed, suggesting the quick up and down of a mirror?) and possible overexposure (though I thought Portra 160 had latitude for almost unlimited overexposure?). 5 shows the overexposure without the camera shake as it was tripod mounted and I think mirror was locked up.
Any thoughts welcome
