I love film, but I'm light on equipment compared to you!

I have a Nikon FM2n with a 50mm f/1.8 and a 105mm f/2. Used to have an N8008s but it...fell out of my possession.

Favorite films: Tri-X, T400CN (err BW400CN), and Portra VC.

Yup, I still have some of the original formula Velvia in my fridge. It's been there for gosh, >5 years? Ought to dust off a film camera sometime and try it out. Wonder if Costco can develop it on the cheap since my old color lab moved 50 miles away.

Contax g2 (50mm & 28mm)
Hasselblad 500cm(80mm and 100mm)
Fuji 645 rangefinder
Mamiya 330 tlreflex
Yashica tlreflex

I mostly use the Contax in the last few years, and mostly when I travel. I had been a advertising photographer years ago(studied fine art with concentration in photo in undergrad at the School of the Art Intitute of Chicago). Then, I went to graduate school and changed careers. The hasselblad is by far the best camera I have but the size is an issue for lugging around. Unfortunately, I havent used much film since I really enjoyed using a darkroom and my darkroom was destroyed in a fire of the family home and I never replaced it. Now in a condo in the city there is no room for a darkroom and I wouldnt have the time to spend in it anyways.

I plan on getting a good film scanner that handles medium format then I will begin to shoot more.

I shoot some film, but I'm not an "artist".

I've got my Dad's old Leica IIIg, and a Mamiya 645e. I haven't used the Leica much, but have done a fair amount with the Mamiya. I don't yet have a favorite B&W film, but for color I like Velvia and Kodak Ultra Color. I also like Agfa Ultra, but it doesn't exist in medium format.

Here are some pictures I took with the Mamiya on a snowboarding trip:

I've been shooting Velvia. I really Miss good old Ektachrome 64 though.

A Hassleblad is one my wish list.

I've got a Nikon F100, 50mm f/1.2 AIS lens, 85mm f/1.4, 70-200 f/2.8 (all of which can and are used on my D200). Film varies, but I do like some Ilford HP5+
