My second major in college was photography. I absolutely loved the darkroom, creative processing, and the beauty of medium format photography. For a few years after school, I stayed really into photography and developing even though the cost was outside of my income at the time and my space was not conducive to it. However, when I moved to Florida, it sort of got put on hold. It seems the extent of my photography now is just an outdated digital SLR that I use to take shots of fragrance bottles. I’ve been thinking about it and realized how much I miss it. I’ve decided to immerse myself back into that hobby.
I’d managed to amass a number of cameras over the years, 35mm to medium format, new to old. I’ve decided to sell off most of them that will earn more money (I won’t bother trying to sell a Kodak Brownie from the 50s for $20 for instance), and replace them all with a Hasselblad. I’ve always loved the images they can make, but never been able to buy one. If medium format film photography is something you’d like to get into at a great price, help me out by buying my cameras! I’ve got them all on ebay now. Click here to see them. I currently have a Bronica SQ-a, a Mamiya RZ67, and a Yashica Mat 124G for sale. I think I might sell a 35mm or two, and a few accessories, like a Minolta ring light later, but the first three will be a good start for me to justify buying a new camera to take out shooting. Drop me a note if you’d like to see some examples of photos taken with them!
