WHY HAS THE BLACK & WHITE medium re- mained popular amongst some railfans in this day and age of color photography? Prob- ably because of its traditional look. The granddaddy of today’s roster shot was the steam locomotive builder’s b&w photo. Con- trasting plays of light and shadow and mas- sive shapes (locomotives) are ideal for b&w. The timeless look of b&w is perfect for steam locomotives and old diesels. And who can de- ny the appeal of the b&w work of railfans like Richard Steinheimer, Dave Plowden, Phil Hastings, John Krause, Stan Kistler, Martin Burwash and Ted Benson?
Medium Format
After the introduction of Kodachrome in 1935, railfans started switching to the “small format” 35mm camera as slide shows became popular. But at a time when color images had the reputation for fading (Ko- dachrome had not had time to prove its longevity and Cibachrome printing was years in the future), fans who were con-
cerned about archival life of their photos stayed with the larger medium format (MF) and 4×5 negatives for quality large, low grained, sharp b&w prints, even when using an ISO 400 speed film. The recent rise of digital technology is re- placing MF cameras, but if you are a dedi- cated film shooter and would like to move up from 35mm for b&w work, MF cameras are still available on the used market at prices as low as around $150 for a nice Yashica twin lens reflex (TLR) to maybe $900 for a basic Hasselblad outfit.
MF cameras use either 120 or 220 roll film (220 is twice as long as 120, allowing twice as many exposures), and come in sev- eral image size formats. “645” Mamiyas and Pentaxes produce a 6x4.5cm (2¼×1¾ inch- es) image, allowing 15 exposures on 120 film, or 30 exposures on 220. 6×6cm “2¼ square” cameras like Hasselblads and Bron- icas produce 12 or 24 exposures, while 6×6 Mamiya, Yashica, and Rollei TLR’s produce 12 on 120 film. 6×7cm (2¼ x 2¾ inches)
