Most of these photos were taken with the Mamiya/Sekor on the left, using the original Mamiya/Sekor 50mm 1:2 lens, an original Mamiya/Sekor 200mm 1:3.5, and a Tamron Adaptall 80-210mm 1:3.8 telephoto/macro zoom lens.
I love the way the Mamiya shoots, but I wasn't as happy with the colour as I have been with the Argus. The colour of the shots hasn't been as rich an vibrant, and the contrast hasn't been as stark. But, since getting these printed, I've learned a few tricks to boost the exposure and contrast captured on the film, so hopefully my next set of prints will turn out bolder. As you may also be able to see in some of the shots, there was quite a learning curve becoming familiar with the Tamron focus.
Learning these cameras, and seeing and feeling the difference between various eras has truly been a blast.

You're getting some awesome pictures now. Some of these I didn't see when I was looking through the stacks of what you had, like most of the naturistic ones at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, sir! These were fun to look at, and they made me want to drive out to the prairie.
