Credo 80

A little road trip

Last weekend two friends and I took a little road trip to Wales that involved with some driving, some shopping, some “soft” hiking and also indulging with a bit of food and drink….I also tried to mix some photography into this hectic schedule:-)

I took two camera and two digital backs along:

A Mamiya 645DF+ with a Leaf Credo 80 with 3 lenses including the new 28mm/ F4.5 LS D and also a Credo 60 on an Arca-Swiss Rm2D with a Schneider 43mm.

The weather was excellent, not too cold (approx 2 degrees at night and a bit warmer during the day) with a mix of cloud and some blue sky. Both kits performed flawlessly and the DF+ with the Credo on it even took a little tumble into the mud (there was LOTS of it!!!) as we were walking through marsh lands. Lens, back and camera were not phased at all by the sticky stuff…

When it rains hard…

…you shoot…indoors!!!!

Last Sunday, between breakfast and brunch, I found 45 spare minutes and took the new Credo 80 to the RAF museum to see some of the cars that currently on display as part of the Bonhams classic cars auction

The Credo and the 645DF performed flawlessly, I had one of my favourite lenses, the Mamiya 150mm/ f2.8 D;
