500cm + 180/4 + bw400cn

[pforsell]

I had a chance to play a bit with a friend's old Hasselblad (older than me i guess). It came with a 180/4 and 50/2.8 lenses. It felt like real photography :smile: These are 2400 dpi scans from Kodak BW400CN using the 180/4, all shots wide open:

Nothing looks like medium format. Good shots...nice composition.

Great photos Peter - I especially like the impact the last one has! The lovely isolation of #2 is also very pleasing. The bug at the right adds a summer-ness that I can feel. (Please don't tell me it's dust - doesn't matter, it LOOKS like a bug, so it's a bug!)

It's a bug. Great shots. i really like plumber's nightmare of #3.

Awesome. I just kept looking at #1. So deep and *real*.

Like 'em all but Pipe Dream is my favorite! I really like the 180 f4 on the Hassleblad, the 150 f4 is just a touch short.

That last one is my favorite also. Thanks for sharing.

Nice series !! Don't you just love working with medium format & B&W film???

Thank you all for encouraging comments. I had so much fun making these images with the loaner Hasselblad instead of just snapping them. Somehow film medium puts me into a different mindset and the whole process is very satisfying.

Must have been at least a couple of years since I shot film the last time, and that was 35 mm.


P.S. yes... both those little specs are small flying bugs.

Cool Peter! You've got to do more of this film stuff!
