For medium format it's great. 35mm can be difficult if the negatives are not flat. Color in general is difficult to do and requires more work than I care for. Overall it's a great scanner.

Sunday morning tech-rehearsal. HP5+ (120) @3200 Pentax 6x7, 105/2.4 Dev'd in Xtol (22min) and scanned on a V550.

I see you live in Hunterdon. I do as well. If I need film quick I stop by Black Lab Studios in Flemington. I also get my color developed there (I scan myself). I used to order from Freestyle because I liked their EDU line of films, but I have switched to ordering from B&H because shipping is...

K400 (bulk-loaded) Nikon N80, 50/1.8D

Kodak Ektar pushed 2 stops (@400), Pentax 6x7 & 105/2.4 Dev and Scan by TheFINDLab. I took a chance by shooting in low light. Both shots were about 30-60min before sunset, but I like what I see online with Ektar@400 (#ektarpushed2stops on instagram).

P400@400, Yashica D

Nah, I scan straight using V550 and EPSON Scan. Sometimes I correct the images, but I'm cataloging the negatives I will one day enlarge the good ol' fashion way. I do mess around with color negatives though (VueScan (RAW) -> ColorPerfect).

Here's a couple more with the 105mm f2.4. I know the one with my dog was wide open, but I'm not sure about the other one. Both on Hp5 developed in D76. Excuse the water marks

A couple of shots from the NJ Festival of Ballooning. The balloons fly out of Solberg Airport and land wherever the wind takes them. Pentax 6x7, 105mm f2.4

Fantastic write-up! I've always been interested in trying out a Bronica but never bothered to do the research on them.

Actually, it's very easy to focus. My camera has the microprism ring screen, no split screen. At first I thought this would be difficult because it's the same setup I have in my SRT201, which I find difficult to focus. The P67, however, is super easy to focus because the view through the finder...

It's actually very manageable! I'm using an Op/Tech Pro strap and carry it on my shoulder. The problem is the storage: of all the camera bags I have none will accommodate this animal plus the giant 55mm I got with the camera (100mm filter thread...).

I think all cameras get mixed reviews. It's really a matter of whether you work well with the camera and vice versa. I bought an Olympus XA a while back because everyone raved about the optics and what-not....well, I sold it cause I just never quite boded with it. Instead I enjoy my Leica...

I just received a Pentax 6x7 yesterday. It came with the 55 f3.5 and 105 f2.4. I got to try one a couple of weeks ago from a local seller, but unfortunately his son decided he wanted to keep the camera (it was mint. MINT!). Anyways, I tried some Acros 100 and loved the sharpness of the lenses...

I remember watching this when I was looking at the Kiev 88. Apparently you can avoid any possible frame spacing issues by advancing the film in a single, continuous motion. Here's the vid:
