So, as I promised, here is part II of the Zenza Bronica images. This time I shot on Ilford Delta 100, which provides better grain and sharpness. I also developed this roll in monobath, same as before. I am quite pleased with the results. You can see the images that I have scanned are looking better than before. Our backyard. The image that impressed me the most is the picture of my wife in our backyard. I did not apply any sharpness or contrast adjustments, only resampled in Photshop. The only tweaks applied were from the Epson scanner interface software, I believe I had the sharpness set to medium during the scan, that is all. The wife wearing protective clothing against the bugs. The remaining images came out well, but not as nice as the previous image. Still, much better than my first results. I really like this medium format camera. Plastic statue clock in our house. The grandfather clock in the living room.

I spoke about this camera before in one of my earlier blog posts, as I was pretty excited when I scored a group of film cameras. I go a little more in depth here in this post. Got the Zenza Bronica ETRS medium format camera on 12 Jul 18, at one of the Goodwill stores in Gilbert, AZ. Seems some film photographer dumped his entire film collection here, along with a few old digital cameras. Zenza Bronica ETRS Everything I bought came with an additional 20% off, since you can apply online for this coupon, which I did, but the discount never showed up on my phone. The guy working there gave me the discount regardless. Great deal. So while this medium format camera was marked @ $129.99, I got if for about $103. I've never owned one of these before, so I was excited. I got an additional lens for $20, and of course bought some other high end film cameras while I was at it. A week or so later, I bought some 120 film from Tempe Camera, and loaded up the Bronica. I had to read some ...

Hit the jackpot at my local Goodwill, lots of film cameras for sale. Seems some film photographer donated his collection to the store. I bought 75% of everything in the glass case. I think I did pretty well. Bounty in the glass case. The cameras I bought. The only digital I bought. Panasonic Lumix, 8mp, but amazingly sharp zoom lens. My favorite though, was the Zenza Bronica ETRS. It is a medium format camera, and I've never owned one of those. So after I was able to find some 120 film online, I shot some pictures (15 per roll for this camera), and developed in Cinestill monobath. The pictures came out very well, but was disappointed with the grain. Will have to try again with some lower ASA film. Luckily, I got 20% off with a coupon! So only around $100!
