So this was my first shot on the RB67, grooviness! I didn't bother cleaning it before scanning because I'm lazy and it's not all that good a shot, but yeah, first shot!

I can't tell you how exciting it is to go out and shoot with my new baby... you're looking at:
- Mamiya RB67 Pro S body
- Mamiya-Sekor C 90mm F3.8 lens
- 220 (6x7cm) film back
- Prism finder
- mounted on Manfrotto 322RC2 head using a RC2 quick release plate
- attached to an Op/Tech Super Pro Strap "B"
I can't fully explain it, but there's just something very satisfying about shooting with this camera. I think it's the fact that you really need to slow down and think about each shot... the composition, the light, the exposure... everything. It's definitely old school... manual everything... setting the aperture/shutter speed, cocking the shutter, pulling the dark slide, raising the mirror, releasing the shutter, etc. And did I mention that this camera is built like a tank? This beast is probably around a whopping 7 pounds!
I'm taking it on blind faith that I've been setting my exposure correctly, using the meter on my D90 to estimate. I've set my D90 to ISO Lo1 (100) to match the Velvia 100F film in the RB67. We'll find out in a couple weeks after I finish off the first roll and get it developed. I hope it's not like making pancakes, where you need to throw away the first batch :-)
