a thug changes, and love changes: Medium Format

Sup -

I recently picked up a new Medium Format camera. I'd been interested in shooting with 120 film for quite some time. Went to Redwood City a few weeks ago for a Camera Show Meetup and found a few options such as a Semflex TLR that was in great condition and a couple other Rollei's. Ultimately landed on something else quite novel and compact:

Meet the Agfa Isolette III from 1950

This folding accordion style camera literally fits in my pocket. The rangefinder is definitely something to get used to and overall an interesting workflow to capturing moments. I threw in a roll of Kodak Portra 400 120 film and below is the first roll ever shot on medium format. TBH, pretty happy with the results and confirmed that I should shoot more in 120 - this time, real intentional about when to shoot it. 12 frames in 6x6 is definitely something that requires a bit more thought and foresight
