[...] nieuwe hype van 2010? Een vraag die ik me de voorbije weken wel meer heb gesteld. Bert is aan mijn Hasselblad gehecht geraakt en ook bij Pieter en zijn Mamiya C3 en de andere Pieter met zijn Rolleiflex is de [...]

I just LOVE the square format. You should try the Polaroid films. They start producing them again, starting from this summer.
The black and white is great too. It’s just a fantastic camera to create a lot of atmosphere with it.
Keep using it!

The wider shots are with the 80mm and the closer ones with the 150mm.

I guess sharpness will be even better when scanned at a decent resolution. These were scanned at 1500 pixels.

Bert. Great photos with the blad. I’ve been thinking about trying one myself. I was wondering what lens you used with the for these shots. I really love the sharpness and feel of them.

Great looking images there.
The images are very similar to a current ad campaign that Microsoft has out for their latest and greatest (Windows 7).

The ‘blad images have a different look to digital ….. can’t quite put my finger on it
It’s not the square format, but it’s almost a mid/wide angle with the compression of a zoom.

Dunno – but they look great )

@Paolo: I think film and digital can exist alongside each other

@Vincent: Damned, I always hoped to stay a boy

Hi Bert, cool pics. I started and finished my photo studies at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague back in the filmdays. Although I fully embraced digital, I sometimes look back on the days with a bit of pain in my heart. It all seemed a bit more of a craft back then with darkrooms and pro labs to finish your work, nowadays everybody seems to be a photographer but is totally unaware of the skills and craft that goes into it with all the fancy pants cams on the market…lets not deviate.- My workflow very much consisted of working medium format almost every shooting day back then. I own I complete Bronica SQ-Ai set and its just now painfully sitting on a shelf for the last 6 years. I still have some (expired) film and maybe I go shoot a few rolls now .
Indeed the format works very different and for me it´s the best. I loved shooting with it, hope to buy a digi back for it one day. I am very pleased to see a marvelous digi shooter trying out MF and performing the same quality on film. THAT is where the man separate from boys

Cheers
