The beauty of a rural Missouri small town is captured through the lens of a Pentax 645 medium format 120 camera and 45-85mm zoom lens. The film, Delta 400, adds a unique grain and character to the images, showcasing the power of classic photography techniques.

What do you think of Delta 400 and what is your favorite conditions to shoot it? Also, what are your thoughts on the Pentax 645 camera? Thanks for watching!

I test my new-to-me Mamiya 645 1000s medium format film camera loaded with Kentmere 400 black and white 120 film shot at box speed. I also have the perfect lens for this location in the Mamiya 55-110mm f/4.5 zoom. It offers crisp, sharp images at any focal length and is perfect for walk-around photography.

Do you ever get out of your hometown for random photography in rural areas? Helps that I have a job that requires travel, but what about you? Do you get out as often as you'd like?

Follow me as I shoot two rolls of Kentmere 400 pushed to 800 with my Pentax 645 medium format camera, developed in Cinestill DF96 developer in some backroads and small towns in rural Indiana.

I ran a roll of Lomography's Earl Grey 100 film through my medium format Pentax 645 camera with the 45-85mm f/4.5 lens on a bright, sunny late-afternoon. The results from this film were deep blacks, bright whites and nice, soft shades of grey.

I found the Earl Grey 100 to deliver a very nice gritty cinematic look, but I got quite a bit of grain that seemed a bit much for 100 speed film, however, that could be an issue with over-development on my end. Nonetheless, extra grain doesn't bother me personally, but I can't give an accurate account of the grain factor of this roll as a definite.

I loaded a roll of Kentmere 100 black and white 120 film, already my favorite brand, into my Mamiya M645 manual camera with the 55-110mm very sharp Mamiya C zoom lens and headed out to specifically shoot an old car on display on a rural property not too far from my home on nice, sunny late afternoon.

The light could not have been better or more suited for photos of the interior of the vehicle through the windows, which always makes a nice image. But a bonus for this day was a second car, an old Biscayne that was sitting along the road with a for sale sign in the window.
