Morocco. November 2011.

The Pentax 67 II is my 120 mm (medium format) camera, of which I carry two bodies. There are only 10 exposures in each film after the 20 exposure film was phased out in 2015, and this slows my pace even further, forcing in a nice way me to be be careful with the composition, and enabling me engage deeply with the subject. Changing the film is an equally measured process, after finding a spot in the shade. This lack of speed is similar in the Olympus OM4-Ti (a beautiful 35 mm body), though each film has a relatively luxurious 36 exposures. By now I use only Kodak film : Tri-X 400 B&W and Portra 400 color for the Pentax 120 mm; and Tri-X 400 TX B&W and Portra 400 Color for the Olympus 35 mm. My favourite and most used Pentax lens is the 90 mm / f 2.8; then the 45 mm / f 4.0; for the Olympus the 50 mm / f 1.2; and then the 24 mm / f 2.0.
