@Gargron ich hab irgendwo noch ne Canon A1 mit Motor und div. Objektiven. Wenn Du magst, Check ich mal, ob die noch funktioniert und würde sie dir schenken. Ist halt keine Mittelformat.

@gargron What do you mean, „a“ lens?

@Gargron

Even 75mm is nice, slightly wide angle, but it depends by the most of your subjects.

A tilt&shift lens would be a totally different planet… but I don't know if it's available.

@Gargron
Ooh, enjoy!

@Gargron one word. Pinhole.

@Gargron I had a Pentax 645 long ago, I expect you’ll love it.

@Gargron but you’ll no longer need a gym membership lifting that all the time, so maybe save a little money? Get the 35mm fisheye!

@Gargron at least in the USA 120 film prices didn't go crazy as much as 35mm. You can get a 5 pack of Kodak Gold for $45.

@Gargron well, I think that as the open source equivalent of Elno Mask, you deserve it!

@Gargron love medium format, it was the best to learn for me. During uni years I always had a Zeiss Icon (1950s) in my bag... no focus adjustment, no light meter, just lots of hyperfocal outdoors or whatever you can guess indoors!
Great for developing an eye for light and distance (and also to waste a lot of film trying 😬)

@Gargron

@Gargron Congratulations! That’s been my dream camera for decades. I wish you many years of happy shooting!

@Gargron
Hey Eugen,
i can recommend three lenses:
the 45mm
the 90mm
the 135mm
I conducted a 2-years survey in Micronesia, you can see these photos in my Micronesia folder at my website. All the portraits were taken with th 90mm. Superb lens!

@Gargron Always start with a 50mm.

@Gargron

definitely need a digital back

@Gargron Photography is an addictive hobby, but it's incredibly fun. Once you start, you never look at the world the same way again. Looking forward to seeing your photos posted on Mastodon!

@Gargron Wikipedia has a great article about it, so I now know so much more about it than before. Nice purchase.
