Like a Boss! Doing Street Portraits with LF. Hats off to you man! I really love the expression on this guy's face!
Next time try not to crop his foot at the ankle!

Spotted this old man along the way to Lavender, he was packing up after having a coffee at the opposite coffee shop, then walked over to this side of the road to have a smoke.
I asked if I could take his picture, he happily agreed, citing that if he wasn't doing anything wrong, why should he be afraid of someone taking his picture.
He's still working as a karang guni man, even though he looked like he was suffering from kidney problems as he had a pipe connected to his stomach area. In spite of his health problems, he talked with a pep you rarely see in old folks these days.
Will probably drop by again if I'm free.
Polaroid 110B 127mm f/4.7 Rodenstock Ysarex 4x5 Converted

On a side note, lualua, your film is working fine for me, thanks!

Yea that was my mistake, one problem with the converted Polaroid is the viewfinder is not the 100% view of the 4x5 frame, still getting used to it!

This is the first sign of LF poisoning....
In no time, you will keep your MF as second system and shoot mainly Large Format....
No turning back... ho ho ho

You won't get the same DOF on 6x6 as using the Aero on 4x5.
I know someone who has converted a Contax 85mm f/1.2 to use on a Mamiya 645, the DOF is crazy but the lens is permanently mounted on the camera.

Welcome Joe!
Unfortunately I don't look at the Mamiya AFD2 a good start in MF as it is only 645.
There are a lot of much cheaper choices in the market now, which can cloud things a bit.
The best is to think of what pictures you want to get, and what lens to do it. A camera is only a film box to me, it is the lens that counts.
Mamiya lenses are great, but still AFD2 lacks the mobility, flexibility and 'quietness' compared to a Nikon.
The pictures from Nikon are not too far off actually.
If you want to go down the MF route, think far. Start on a 6X6 minimum or the 6X7 or 6X9.
Price and money is always something to be prudent with.
The lesson learned by many is: spending a lot of money may not get what you want, possibly more night mares to fix more problem.

APSC is crap even compared to 135. Why not compare to 4X5 (note in inches) ?
..... 4k ..... YOU PAID SCHOOL FEES!! :bsmilie:

If I am a manufacturer selling a $3000 product using a $15 Sony sensor, I would run all sorts of competition to encourage people to buy and shoot.
I used to think the same as you. Contax 645D or the Pentax 645D or the Mamiya AFD would help me get some nice pictures, I paid my school fees. :bsmilie:
Now, Contaxt 645D is still in Japan which I got a refund. Pentax 645D sold to an AngMo in Boston. Mamiya AFD2 to see who to take over.
If you are not a professional photographer doing jobs, I see no reason why you should invest more than 4K on a very basic setup.
