Couple of Provia 100 shots from my RB67:
Why leaf shutters are awesome - this was taken handheld
Couple of Portra 160VC shots from the RB67:
Looks cool, but I'd baulk at the lens price
Maybe an xPan clone though... could use a standard 120 lens for that...
Cheers for the comments on the shots I posted. It's worth having a read on the net about the Xpan and what it can do. It's basically a rangefinder which has the ability to shoot a double width frame on 35mm film. There's a switch on the back that allows it to shoot a regular frame but if I were wanting to do that, I would get a smaller camera. It is a rugged wide contraption. It has some fairly 'modern' features such as aperture priority as well as manual, and the film advance is motorised. A tiny digital display on the back for frames remaining, shutter speed etc.
This is one I took on £1 shop Kodak ColorPlus 200, effectively removing the 'Velvia factor'!!
Another problem was when I bring my negs into a shop for dev-only, sometimes they cut my photos in half :bang:
I'm also an xpan user My main issue though, is scanning! How do you scan?* I've got a coolscan V, but means I have to scan in parts and stitch, which is slow and irritating (ok, I'm just lazy!).

This is my first roll through a Bronica I bought from a user on these forums, 'Alpina'. I think he'd got it from another user here too.

Really liking this, it's my kind of shot
I got fed up with having my negs butchered so now I ask them not to cut them.
I like your eye Mike, a great set of colour and bw views - but the first two bw look a tad harsh for FP4... any pp?
