I was so close to buying a medium format film camera like the Shen Hao 4x5 or similar a few years back. A romantic idea combined with a desire to work with the film process and enjoy the slower method of producing images. I also like Portra film stock and used it extensively with a film camera previously. To cut a long story short - it didn’t happen. Plan B was to get some of Leica’s new film stock and put it through a 35mm film camera. I borrowed a Contax G2 Rangefinder camera for that purpose then thought why use a 35mm camera and get lesser results than from MF? You can see a mixture of thoughts here basically all revolving around film. So, I approached it from all angles to try to make it work but in the end I have an amazing MF Fujifilm camera more than capable of producing stellar results without the need for further expenditure. Colour grading has infinite options if you don’t like the stock standard results from either RAW or other simulations. I began with Fuji Pro 400H sim and modified it to suit my taste. Above is a selection of conversion options.
