As usual here in the South Wales valleys the weather is pretty up and down at the minute but on one of the days that the sun burst through between gale force winds and rain I went out with the Mamiya 645 with the 80mm f2.8 and 45mm f2.8 ( last 3 frames .. so damn sharp ) loaded with some expired Kodak Portra 400vc and tried to capture the lovely Autumn colours here.
I processed the roll using the excellent Tetenal C41 kit which I have managed to stretch to 26 rolls so far with no problems.
I love using the Mamiya as I can get 15 frames and to be honest I find it easier to compose the 645 format compared to square and since getting the Mamiya RB67 I felt I was neglecting its smaller/lighter little brother.
The images came out just as I wanted with plenty of lovely warm Autumn colours and as usual the Mamiya glass didn’t disappoint rendering lovely sharp images even wide open.
So here is the whole roll .. comments most welcome

Very nice indeed…I think I still have a couple of rolls of Portra 160VC which produces very good results! I usually shoot this in my RZ67 or Ikoflex. I must get around to doing light seals in the RB67 so I can try that out…..
