[Leica] Medium Format

[lluisripollphotography]

Gerry,

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment. Do you know the answer of HCB about the Rolleiflex? something more or less “For some reason God has not put the eyes on the Belly”…., I like use the Rolleiflex but I would like try a rangefinder MF, I suppose it will be more useful. In my opinion the Berger 400 is a smoother film with great range of tonalities, it appears as a thinner film and very sensitive to the exposure, I would like experiment again with it but exposed at ISO 320. Ilford HP5 has in my opinion more character, a lttle bit more contrasted but with a smooth transition of gray tones. I think the real differences could be better appreciated in the darkroom doing a silver gelatin enlargement.

I find the lower viewpoint interesting and more in line with some of the ‘historic’ street photographers who used medium format. Personally I would find it difficult to tell the difference between the two films especially on scans.

I’ve created a new album for Medium Format 6 x 6 and upload 18 pictures, the first 9 (up to 2017F040112LR5 “With Bikes”) are with Berger Panchro 400, the rest of pictures with Ilford HP5 ISO400.
