Any other fans, owners and/or shooters of this awesome camera?

I've got a 7II with the 50, 65, 80 and 150mm lenses. I simply don't shoot this camera nearly enough...
6x7 Velvia slides are jaw-dropping, as are Pan-F negatives souped in Xtol.

Here are some sample shots... Let's see yours!

Don't have one of these and can't imagine I ever will but it does produce excellent images.

Many thanks for sharing :D

Quite welcome, Bob - thank you. :)

They really do make stunning images, as does the Mamiya 6 that came before it (albeit in a 6x6 format). The detail in them is unbelievable... And I'm sorry, but even resized - you can just tell they're MF. The killer feature, IMO - is that unlike the "Texas Leica" Fujis, they have interchangeable lenses, and unlike say, Hasselblads - are RFs. Kind of in between. Which makes them very light and compact (for the most part).
