In the film days I worked with Linhof SuperTechnica and later Fuji GX 680 III. The slow, thoughtful, preparations for each frame suited me perfectly.
When I jumped on the train for digital it was a Canon setup, but from day 1 I honestly did not feel very inspirational about the workflow or feel of the plastic body (gone through all 1Ds bodies). However, often have I thought about "the grand ol' days" with the Linhof and Fuji.
Now, being completely new to mediumformat digital and choosing exclusively the tech route, I am getting back to my roots. This is a good thing. No, it's a great thing. In fact it's the best ever
To me, slowing down and studying a scene, looking for alternatives, setting up the camera exactly how I want it and then finally pull the trigger is a an amazing feeling. I feel I am more of the true author of the result.
Hence, no images will be of coincidence, all images will be carefully planned. I know some will argue that it takes away spontaneity, but that is not who I am. I do not mind missing 10 great images because I was not ready, as long as I get the 1, that will last me my lifetime.
Tech for me is king.
