Video

Raleigh is my wife's hometown. Love that city. I just got my Yashica, and I'm waiting for my first roll of black and white to be developed...2 weeks to process! I'm trying to get the hang of the whole metering thing.

i find that people often confuse sharpness with focus,., and a hypersharp picture tend to look synthetic and fake,, most of the time oversharp images feel dead no matter its subject..

Great vid

👍 Yes. Agree. Well put. I think there is a similarity between this and the reason that some people (myself included) still appreciate vinyl records. There is a lot more to enjoying an album than simply the lack of background "noise" and some of the "imperfections" can give character and don't detract from an appreciation of the composition. (Most important of all of course are the large record sleeves filled with glorious album art! 🤣)

Awesome review man! The RB67 rocks in the studio.

nice images Erik, I shot my first roll of Kodak Gold 200 with Pentax 645N and I can see this is going to be really fun to use!

I just found out about your video because I just acquired both cameras recently and enjoy seeing what photographers can do with these amazing cameras. It seemed like the 645 was sharper with hair details in first comparison but, it was very close. It would be fun to see comparison of CineStill 800T. Thanks for doing this video!

Dope photos!! How do you connect an external flash with this camera?

Digital stinks🫣

Happy I found this video! I love the comparisons. I’m interested in purchasing the 645 or 67 so this was fun to watch!

6 years later, you haven't published any videos for 2 years, your last snapshot on IG was 6 months ago, and your website is gone. A shame, your photo essay was pretty engaging. Anyway, I'll see what else you have to say.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use a tripod with a TLR.

Beautiful models, great film sélection, great exposure amazing bokeh great colors but sorry framing is not accurate, it ruins the reading of the pictures. happy new year

S chart sweet spot is +3 push 50 to iso 400. 2 second hold, without a reciprocity number.

I like shooting movie film so I hope that it will always be available.

These were a lot of fun to shoot until Kodak raised the price of Kodak Portra 400 on 120 to over $1/click. It's like shooting Instax prints directly =(

Your photos are absolute garbage.

Awesome stuff , so informative

Actually I have one of these cameras. Love it!... I agree with you, taking photos with RB67 takes time, patience and respect for the camera, and use tripod!. Mirror vibrations, but you can lock-up the mirror. Great videos, great photos.

I absolutely love my Pentax 645 I have two of them with two zoom lenses 80-160 f4.5 and 45-85 f4.5 very heavy lenses though. one of the cameras is loaded with color film the other with black and white but can only pack one at a time they're pretty heavy around the neck LOL but I'm always close by the other camera in most cases

Yes, I shoot those too. in 2023 and beyond. The bleached negatives are even better.

I love my mamiya rb67

In my opinion, Ektar 100 performs also well in darkroom. It is not good for digital scanning only. It does need different settings of color filtration when compared to other Kodak films, but this is not actually a problem.

My Sale For Yashica Mat 124G

Thank you for posting such a great 👍🏻 video of the Yashica Mat 124G Erik!! ❤

The model was manufactured from 1970 to 1986. This copy of a Rolleiflex was so good that now itself becoming a ‘classic’.

… meow!

I’ve several old, but Mint Canon and Nikon SLR cameras for my collection. On the other hand, I shoot with a TLR camera like the classic you’re holding, the Yashica Mat 124G I only other cameras that I would like to have or to use when I can effort are a Leica and a Rolleiflex 🎉

This’s a really exciting video for me to watch! 🎉

I just picked up an expired roll of 160ns. Will be interesting to shoot it/compare it to 400h.

It is a beautiful object and if you use lower speed film, it is pretty good!!!

Great review!

I would like to see the difference between Kodak Ektar 100 and Kodak Gold 200...just to see the difference between the two. I have a Pentax 6x7 with a 75mm 4.5 and a 200mm 4.0 and totally LOVE the camera! Nice video by the way...I will have to make a video next time I'm home in the Philippines and taking pictures with my niece.

Get the Epson 850 pro to scan your slides.

One does not need a "pro camera" unless there is some feature one cannot live without. Otherwise, the results are the same with the same lenses.

It's time to bring back this awesome video and make some noise out there about this topic in 2023!

Monet was not sharp.

I got one from my grandmother that is in great condition

I just bought a black 3D printed right grip for each of my 6x7s and I love it. It gives the camera the feel of the modern DSLR.

Great video

Get off my turf bitch! Jk ly!

Bro that TLR is one of the best, I had mine CLA’ed by Mark Hama, who is an original YashicaMat tech who worked for Yashica back in the day.

Brilliant video! Thank you.

i have one with out flash for sale

So many people mention the tripod as an issue, but i found that a ball head, with that skinny 'neck' is pretty bad, as it allows the torque of the shutter mechanism to cause a resonant *rotational* vibration, so I went to the 'large ' manfrotto pan/tilt head, and, as well, i hated the tendency for the ball head to allow the camera to crash down if you has the camera tilted, and did not have enough friction on the head. Just my experience.

Fun. Yes

Great video. Thanks

The advance lever only rotates one way, if it wound the film backwards, that would be your fault not the cameras, that being said, the kodar lens was hundreds of times better than the kodak lens, and it was a cheap camera for average people. My grandfather bought one new in 1954, As a retired Army Captain, it was the first camera he could afford. I still use it today, it still takes really good photographs.

I dont use modern equipment, my digital cameras is at least 10 years old, but I like to be able to choose so that the lenses dont set the limit but the cameras does that as I have the D700 and the D800E. I'm saving for a 2nd hand D850. I still have Mamiya 7iii, HB 503CW and Fuji GW690iii analouge equipment but sold of my 135 systems. I'm looking for a 2nd hand 65mmF4 lens and a 350mm to my HB.

This is another very enjoyable presentation. Thanks so much
