I got the film back from Peak Imaging (superb turnaround time) that I shot at Sterling Tower in Newbury last Sunday. For my first attempt using both medium format and shooting in film I’m actually quite pleased with the results. No images were over or under exposed which means my estimating of exposure conditions including those where I was shooting from a position of sunlight into dark shade, appear to be more or less correct.
I noticed when shooting in medium format are that the d.o.f is a lot shallower than for the equivalent focal length + aperture on the dSLR. This means that I really do need to pay attention to the distance marks on the lenses until I get used to it as a couple of the shots did not have the correct d.o.f I was trying to achieve (i.e. they were too shallow). I’ll also say that trying to frame a portrait orientation shot using a waist level finder (WLF) is like trying to navigate through the Hall of Mirrors. Very confusing :)
