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.

Small midwestern towns lend themselves to plenty of photo opportunities, the towns in this video are no exception. 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. And is that a funeral hearse!?

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.

In this video, I find myself in some abandoned woods near Mineral Point, Wisconsin that was being used as an old auto dumping ground of some sort. I also stop by an out-of-business body shop near Carmi, Illinois that offered some excellent old vehicles and a rusted out school bus.

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.
