All change on the camera front

Must be the cold lifeless / lightless weather that forces the photographer into changing equipment when there's little else to do.
All the Pentax digital kit has gone - replaced with a Canon 5D. The arrival of the 5D Mark II has finally shifted the cost of full frame down to my kind of level......

The Mamiya RB67 has also gone, superceded in a different way by an old 1950s MPP 5x4 press camera. Some issues resolved on this and negatives now coming out of it something like the images seen going in.
A day in the presence of the UK Large Format Photography Group and Lancashire Monochrome helped with some of the theory. Thanks to all and if you visit their forums , advice is freely given.

Some of the images below are from that day, others from others but all out of the MPP.
