First Time shooting Medium Format

[Connor Hughes]

I borrowed a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II from my school, my first time using a "real" medium format camera(Holga doesn't count as MF in my book :p)

This was the first shot I took, and it's my favorite from the roll.

Shot on Kodak Tri-X 400, processed by myself.

Not familiar with medium format. Can you explain what that is (how it differs from 35mm and large format)?

MF takes bigger film than 35m, but smaller than large format.
Also, MF cameras are more like SLR's than large format cameras are.
MF cameras also take 120 film I believe, I don't really know the definition of '120 film', maybe it's ISO or maybe it's the size, I just read it somewhere once.

That's a nice shot, nice and bright.

120 is a size of film.

Yup, :)

You can shoot 6cm x 6cm or 2 1/4" square image size (think 'Hasselblad') on it, or wide angle up 6cm x 22 cm with Fuji, Linhof or Horseman

The Mamiya RZ is a nice camera and it takes 6cm x 7cm images on 120 film....

nice shot BTW!!

Cheers!
