The studio I work for has a Hasselblad that I get to use sometimes. It is so nice. And my neighbors have one with a digital back which is kinda too nice. 50MP!!!
I have the Mamiya RB67 which is fun. but the RZ, now thats a big camera.haha though shooting polaroids must be fun, but the film has gotten so expensive.

Are you sure? From what I recall, the RB was like a pound heavier haha. I would think that the RZ, having some electrical parts, would be lighter and smaller.

Just watched. I think you spelled it pretty close.

Looks fantastic! I just purchased the 53CM Excel and I'm having it sandblasted today, hoping to build it up by Sunday. Your build looks amazing. My question is how do you like that wheel set? I'd seen it on VeloMine and I was intrigued as I come from the BMX world and I've had luck with Sun rims before. I also like the eyelets. I was just wanting to see if you enjoyed the wheels, thanks! Again nice build! Excited to build mine!

After months of waiting, my FSA Omega compact handlebar finally got here, I only did a short ride so far, but it felt real good.

Just built this bad boy up. Still needs bar tape and brakes. Excel frame sandblasted, 53CM feels great.

Since its spotless right now because I cleaned it to get mud off it, I figured I'd take some pics.

New front wheel, pedals, clips and straps.

Without and with flash.
