Medium Format ... long may it live!

Vista House, Crown Point, Columbia River Gorge. It had been a dreary, somewhat drizzly summer day, until late afternoon when the clouds unexpectedly parted. A rare (for me) right place, right time photograph.

Fuji GS645S, a camera that I really wanted to like but never bonded with over the 20 years I owned it. Mine had a strange anomaly, wherein it wouldn't properly spool Fuji film. The backing paper was apparently too slick and slid over the rollers, causing the film to roll loosely on the takeup. Absolutely no issue with Kodak film, though.

A couple from the Rolleiflex MX-EVS, 75/3.5 Tessar. I've never been particularly happy with the performance of this lens with color films, but it shines with Tri-X. To my eye, there's something timeless about Tri-X images from this camera, and I've always wondered if Zeiss optimized the lens coatings for it since Kodak released Tri-X in 35mm and 120 formats in the early 50s.

The color looks fine to me. Gullwings always look good. Best if in my driveway. ;o)
