I recently picked up an old Mamiya Super 23 medium-format camera from the 60's and have been having a blast with it over the last few weeks. Here are a few that I've had a chance to scan; all shot with the Mamiya-Sekor 100mm f/3.5 kit lens on a 6x9 back. Film type is in the filenames.

I'd like you to post a photo of your camera. I *think* I have one of these, too, but only with the 6x7 back. I have a couple of lenses, IIRC, but have never shot it before. Those night shots of yours are fabulous and if mine is the same as yours, it'd make it worth while figuring out how to use it.

Pretty much just sealed the deal in a Mamiya RB67 body, 120 back, and waist level viewfinder for $200. Excited to play around! Getting a 90mm f/3.5 soon off of KEH.com.

Here you go, it's not in the best condition externally but everything inside is great - I replaced all of the light seals on the 6x9 back.

Front:

Just picked up a mint Mamiya 645 Super and Sekor-C 80mm F/1.9 lens. Plan on shooting Acros 100 on one lens for at least the next 20 rolls. Hand processed and scanned on a high end flat bed scanner.

Can't wait to see the results! The 6x4.5 format looks interesting; as much as I love the giant negs from my 6x9 film back, at only 8 shots per roll it is a little more expensive to shoot than I'd like.

On the bright side, I just developed my own film for the first time in a friend's darkroom. The film should be dry this afternoon so hopefully I'll have something to post tonight!

Any one know if you can put 120 on a 220 insert?

Do you mean the back or the spool? Back, no. Spool, yes.

On mine there's a reversible pressure plate that lets me choose between 120 and 220 film. Not sure about the 645.

That is true, both my C330 and GF670 have adjustable plates. But I'm pretty sure for any of the film backs it's limited to either 120 or 220.

What do you guys use to scan your film?

I use a Hasselblad Flextight X5 (yay, school).

The back takes both 120 and 220 inserts. Can a 220 insert take a 120 roll of film

I have a Screen Cezanne

No - the tension on the backing plate will be incorrect.
