New Gear & Film

Recently I received a Miyama RB67. Someone gave it to me on the basis that it was moulding away in their house and they’d prefer someone to use it. So I spent a bit of time waiting out the remaining days of my job and attempting to clean it out. Most of that black light-sealing foam is returning to the crude oil from whence it came.

Eventually, I was game enough to run a couple of rolls of 120 through to confirm if there’s light leaks or other issues and I don’t think there are. I joined Photo Access to scan in the film they developed, and below are a couple of results. Being a medium format camera, I’m looking forward to using this in the faux-studio. I think I’ll only take it on the road when there isn’t a plane involved.

Next up, I also purchased a Fuji GFX100S II. I got the 45mm lens, so I could take decent street shots. I plan on getting another lens soon, maybe something with a bit of zoom, so I can take a couple of wider shots.

The image on the left is the whole image, I shrunk it down from 11648 x 8736 px, but the image on the right is the detail you get at 100%. Slick to say the least.

I’m off on a holiday, so more photos soon.
