Lot of rain here lately in Texas, so there's always macro to fall back on. These shots were taken with one of my older Mamiya 645 lenses, the 120/4 Macro A fitted to my 5D2 with a Fotodiox Pro adapter. The Mamiya lenses render colors really well, and these shots had very minimal PP applied...just a capture sharpen, basic levels adjust, and a contrast enhancement layer. No color adjustments, no saturation boost. Not too bad for a lens that's nearly 30 years old.

Before the rain (ISO 800, 1/160-sec, f/8 ):

Thanks Julian. When the weather doesn't cooperate, you gotta get the shots where/when you can. I'm really glad that I'm able to give new life to my old medium format gear with a simple adapter...the color rendition is just short of amazing.

Thanks. The 80/1.9 also works really well on a FF digital...
