    Everytime i watch a video of yours i'm inspired to grab a camera and get out shooting. Your style is brilliant in my opinion and somewhat different from mine, that's whats really motivating me to see things differently. Since i found some neat film channels like yours and grainydays i had a blast trying new stuff and am quite happy with some results. So, thank you!

    35mm and 120 definitely have their own use cases. I also carry a 35mm camera everywhere I go, and shoot medium format only when I'm specifically going out to shoot and have a certain location or frame in mind

  • @juliusjohnson3880

    At the beginning of 2021, I bought a Voigtlander Bessa R2 for about 500€ (should be around 600$). I've always wanted a Leica M6, but it's way too expensive. So I looked for alternatives and found my Bessa R2. And I love it. Tbh, I bought it because of the Leica M mount. So I can buy lenses that I could also use on a Leica M camera. I love the build quality and the rangfinder feel. I have never regretted buying a Voigtlander.

    Holy Cow! 300,000 subs! Congrats, Willem. ✌️✌️✌️ And oh, my, Voitlander is such an eclectic company, what unique design choices they made with that thing. Something you said near the end nailed it for me. I've been experimenting with a Leica M and their 35 mm f/2 ASPH, and you are so right. The camera is so small, so much fun to shoot, I find I never leave my house without it since I got it. Love to see your huge success on You Tube, and maybe give up an update on how SoCal has been treating you now that you've settled in. Cheers!

    If you’re hung up on the external viewfinder perhaps the Bessa R4m would be the next best thing to an m6. Built in light meter, multiple frame lines fully mechanical par the light meter

  • @oackgourmandi6061
    @oackgourmandi6061 Před 2 lety

    For the multiple lens situation, a good alternative is the Leica VIOOH Imarect Viewfinder, it is a multifocal viewfinder that was used for the Leica series 3 cameras because for example, with the built in viewfinder it was impossible to compose with a wide lens, a longer lens or a big 50mm lens, the VIOOH is really easy to use, the just small difficulty is that the measures of the focal lengths are written in centimeters opposed to millimeters but it is a small insignificant drawback! Great video, well done!
    Post Scriptum: The VIOOH can show the frame for a 35 mm lens, a 50, a 85, a 90 and a 135

    I love pch but I also highly recommend a road trip up the 395. Definitely has its own unique personality. Was just up there last week and there were still patches of snow on some of the peaks. A drive that takes 7ish hours took me 10 with all the the extra stops and detours, was just so beautiful. Would love to see it from your perspective

    Hey Willem! The trick with the lightmeter is use it while you are watching through the viewfinder, it work fine with my Bessa L (little sis of Ts and Rs bessas) and a 21mm skopar. Regards from Spain ✌🏼

  • @richardmayberry5905
    @richardmayberry5905 Před 3 lety

    I have couple of Voightlanders - an L and R. I chose them because I already shoot with L39 lenses, and that just made as much sense as shooting with film! 🤪 The L has neither a rangefinder nor a viewfinder, so that makes things interesting. I do like the light weight of it, and it makes for a very portable match for my Leica and Canon lenses. The main attraction is the light meter - the same as with the T. I rather like that I can set exposure and focal range before even lifting the camera to my eye! The R is more conventional - more like an M6, but one heck of lot less expensive - and much easier to load and shoot than my IIIf Leica. They are all fun, and that’s what it’s all about for me!!!

    The Bessa T, along with the Bessa L remind me a lot of my grandpa's Leica IC. External viewfinder that's unrealistically bright, add-on rangefinder, no frills.

    I am so happy the bessa t is getting some love. I wanted a rangefinder in the m mount category about a year ago and found the bessa t and thought I was going crazy because no one was talking about it. body was $450 and it takes leica m mount lenses? no brainer. I got mine in a pristine looking baby blue. it’s been a year and have been really happy with it. it’s so cool looking, everyone in public always asks questions about it.

    The Bessa is really tempting. Actually was looking into the r2a today but came to the conclusion that if I'm going to use Leica lenses I might as well get a Leica body too. The M5 is pretty affordable since most people aren't a fan of the design. I think I'm going to get an m5 eventually. Either way I hope this setup suits you! Can't wait to see more of your work on this camera.
