But as with all my other venture into medium format photography, there is bound to be something faulty with the camera. I really hope that is not the case with this camera though at first glance the 80mm lens is not as clean i would have liked. Will need to send the lens to cleaning up the fungus soon.
Read MoreFriends close to me will know how much i love medium format.

I was invited by the peeps at Shriro to do a dramatic lighting demonstration using Profoto lights and the Hasselblad H3DII-39.

Read MoreI last heard about a possible medium format camera from Pentax mid last year. Back then i was hustling between a Hasselblad H3D-31 and Mamiya 645 AFD + Leaf digital back. Therefore i thought very little of this system. Now that i am medium format-less, i'm actually very interested in what Pentax might have to offer.
