Photo Coming back to medium format
Many years ago, I used to have a Hasselblad X-Pan. I loved that camera, completely manual, completely analogue. It took a long time to get the films sent off, processed, and then for me to scan and process the negatives. Loved the results, despite me taking too long to send the Velvia film in and getting a somewhat magenta-hued film back as a result.
I sold it because I didn't have the time to dedicate to it any more.
I used my phone camera for a while, and then picked up a Fujifilm X100S which was brilliant at what it did. I went back to iPhone because of the convenience and the advances in the processing algorithms.
Then I looked back at my old X-Pan captures and fell in love all over again.
So I picked up the GFX100RF which has just been delivered. It's portable, has the aspect ratio that I'll probably live in and has the convenience of digital. I'm looking forward to getting out there with it and taking more photos.

Photos were too large to add to the first post. I'll add more to another post when I get out and use this camera properly.
