Life. Or something.

I had just received a Macro Tube Extender for my Mamiya and wanted to give it a quick try on my way to work. Rain had just stopped pouring down as I left my house when I noticed the left-over rain drops on the wall in the alley next to me house. Somehow the photos I took ended up looking decidedly microscopic, even though the drops were rather large.
On my wedding day I’ll have a divorce lawyer on the ready, making threatening faces towards Younhee to remind her to smile. It’ll be wonderful.
Continuing the “tradition” of showing my gear (Flickr version, with highlights on the image), here is my medium format setup, recently made somewhat over-complete with the addition of two more lenses.
View this photo on Flickr to see the image highlights.
- Mamiya 645 1000s with standard waist-level viewfinder
- 55mm f/2.8 (on body)
- 80mm f/2.8
- 150mm f/3.5
- 210mm f/4
- Weston Master II Exposure Meter
Showing a bit of the tools I’m using these days.
The Weston Master II Exposure Meter. I have the US model, made way back in 1946 and it still works wonderfully well. There’s a small chip off the paint in the front as you can see in the photos, but otherwise it’s in great condition still. I use this with my Mamiya 645 1000s.
