This is another great episode mate. Loving this monochrome journey series. That camera is a beast, would love to give that a go. The negatives off that will be nuts. Love the side by side with the M-A. And it’s a range finder too. Wow! This is right up my alley mate. Hmmm 🤔 now you have me thinking. I wonder how difficult it would be to get one of those to ireland. Double stroke advance, man! ❤❤❤ Wonderful photos too. Very interesting change lens curtain. I’ve never had the pleasure of shooting medium format of any sort!

Appreciate Colin! Medium format photography is great and of course it does have its uses. I for sure wouldn't use the Fujica with street/event photography. But you'll be happy to know I took the MA and M246 out to photograph a parade in Jerome last Saturday. Working on the next video. Thanks buddy.

I do develop and print my B&W film through my local park and rec that still has complete dark room services at a community center. However it's only staffed once a week.

Thats cool and great that you develop and print your works. Makes it all worthwhile to photograph with film.
