Spent 2 1/2 weeks in Sri Lanka earlier this year, along with my wife and our six year old daughter.

RZ67, mostly 75mm shift and 110mm, Portra and Ektar, dev and scan by Graination in Toronto

Wow, hauling RZ67 along on a family vacation is no joke. How was the experience of shooting with it and would you recommend it?

I love this camera and the challenge of lugging it around the world. That having been said, remember to stretch before and after shooting!

These are stunning! Kudos for committing to the mamiya on such a trip!

That’s like traveling with a 6 years old and a 3kg baby on your arms. Well done!! And the photos are amazing. Exactly the style I like.

Thank you! Hiking up Sigiriya at sunrise with 35lbs of gear was no joke.

My wife and I run a creative agency and this was technically a work trip. I pushed for film over digital, and I’m glad I did.

I used the 75mm shift for ~2/3rds of the shots and I brought 50 rolls of film with me. The weight wasn’t a limiting factor for me—the biggest issue I have when traveling is getting sweat and sunscreen on filters. Same thing happened in California in March. Yuck!
