    Mamiya 645, new to me

    I got a medium format camera, some 120 B&W film, so I went out to shoot a roll to make sure everything works. I have tanks, reels and chemicals, so I processed the first roll this morning.

    Needless to say, I will be looking for opportunities to shoot more this week.

    Excellent stuff! What sort of b/w film did you shoot these on!

    Personally, I love the 6x4.5 format, (I use the Pentax 645).

    6 minutes @ 72 Deg F. I sort of interpolated the time. Worked out well, first film I have developed in over 20 years.

    I like the results, so ordered film in 120 size. Should be here in a few days. I will post some results.

    I added this to the thread in the film developing database too.
