Medium Format for beginners!

In fact I'm the typical 35mm-photographer. Medium Format is for me another world.

But of course I have some MF-cameras, not the best ones, but real camera icons.
The legendary Pouva Start (second version) and the state-of-the-art Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 folding camera!

With the Zeiss Ikon I shot my first published photo:
"in the temple are drugs", germany, 2005 (film: Ilford Delta 100 pro - software: Photoshop 7)

It was published in the May 2006 edition of the German magazine Stadtkind - das hannovermagazin:


The Pouva Start I used for the first time in Brasil. I'd loaded it with an expired Kodak Portra 160VC. The bad-news-good-news-scenario: the photo laboratory crashed the film, but the result is very cool:

"playground", brasil, 2008

Yes, it's the Leibnitztempel in the Georgengarten.
