I don’t put many digital pictures here, mostly because I’m still very new to digital cameras (I only got my D70s a few months ago and am still a newbie with it, so I usually instinctively “reach” for film when I’m out shooting). But I did do some B&W conversions on the digital images I took in Newfoundland this summer. These were mostly done with a heavy red component in the channel mixer, which tends to make the images look blotchy. But you get the idea.

Many of you know that I own a Koni-Omega 6×7 rangefinder. This is a big beast of a camera, which takes great pictures (especially with the super-sharp 60mm and 90mm lenses I have for it).

I love the pictures it takes, but I don’t love using it. It’s big, it’s hard to carry, and it can be tricky to focus. As a result, I don’t use it very often, and it instead sits on my shelf.

When I shoot MF these days, I find myself going for the Yashicamat TLR more often than not. As a result, I’m thinking the Koni and going to a slightly more compact and versatile system — a Mamiya C330 or C33 TLR. I owned a (poorly cared for) C220 in the past and it took great pictures, when it was focussed correctly.

Am I crazy? Will I regret this move? Does anyone want to buy the Koni?
