Great vid. So the 220 back is all you need for 16 shots? Do you line up the arrows same as normal when loading?

Awesome!!! This looks like so much fun. I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!!!💪💪💪💪

ha, I'm just now realizing how recent this video is. Apparently it only came out a couple days before I first watched it. I'm only just now starting to dive into the world of microcontrollers 'seriously' and trying to use them in actual projects and this one has seemed like a fun one I can try to use and hopefully add my own twist to it. One question I have is where did you find that pointed probe for that price? I don't know if I'm searching the right terms as I can really only find 'flat' headed ones (or the handful of pointed ones that I have found are more expensive). I see that you say most items were bought from AliExpress in the repo, but I couldn't find much in my limited time searching (I've found that sometimes, it just likes to hide the good/relevant stores in the background until after I search for an item a couple of times at least). Really interesting video though, don't want to glaze over that with my question

Highlight: the meat and fire pixel art!

That is awesome and thank you for sharing!!

Very cool!

Thats pretty sweet! Great idea and good implementation!

neat project, thanks for sharing

I love your meat

Have you looked at ESPHome and Homeassistant?

Wonderful video. No BS, just straight information and really well-paced. You deserve a bigger following!

Keyboard looks excellent! Love the purple PCB had been thinking about getting that in that color. Great job!!

I have this camera. I believe it was only ever made for the Japanese market, which is why it's quite rare. Unfortunately mine needs a CLA and I'm too chicken shit to do it myself!

Man. Your friends must be VERY patient

Play wonderwall

this is gold! thanks a lot!

May I ask what your light meter is?

I wore out two Autocords back in the 70's, and still have two of them. Loved the images, but also have always hated the square format. A screen marked with 645 lines helps. People used to say that 6x6 is just a 645 camera that you don't have to rotate for horizontal or vertical. Sure, but I still hate looking at a square image. Images are fabulous, however.

Ahhh, the 220 insert!👍🏼👍🏼

I just acquired an Olympus Flex and was wondering if you know where to get accessories for this beautiful camera? Lense caps, light meters etc... Thank you

Hey Justin, could some of the aftermarket bright screens that are used for rolleis and hasselblads be used here?

I know this is an old video but im just wondering how you go focussing on the instax? Do u need to compensate at all? bit of an insane process (in a beautiful way) and i love that its pretty minimally destructive - instax camera stays intact.

How do you only have 97 followers?! I'm looking into buying a mamiya 645 1000s - but it would be my first step into the medium format world coming from only automatic, point and shoot 35mm cameras. I have been looking all day for videos like this and yours answered all my questions while also teaching me a whole bunch of new information I didn't even know I needed to know. THANK YOU!

Where can i buy that exposure meter ??

beautiful photos and song, really impressive composition.

great video !! amazing images !

Famous trumpeter and bandleader Maynard Ferguson design this horn for Holton Le Blanc Company. This horn is one step better than student models! I have this horn cince 1995 and like the tone all the time!

I have a 645 Mamiya with 120 and 240 backs. Since digital it hasn't been used. Wonder about digital backs and their use. Originally the digital backs were so expensive that I stored the camera. Any suggestions or comments?

This is literally the most useful video of the mamiya on the internet. I do have a question on how much electrical tape I should wound onto my take up spool when I shoot with a 35mm roll for the right amount of spacing. Any suggestions ? Or is that mostly through trial and error ?

Hi. About the tape on the Spool for shooting 35mm, how many mm thick do you think it is??

I also own an Olympus Flex TLR, mine is different from yours. I have shutter button lock mechanism and i dont have a cold shoe mount

Does the 645 have an adjustable viewfinder diopter?

Not clear on how to load 35mm. The emulsion side is towards the lens?

It looks beautiful! I think this is the one I'll pick up if I ever want to get a TLR. What lightmeter is that? I haven't seen one that mounts to the shoe before

Thank you Justin, this was so useful

What does the second button on the bottom do? I picked up the "B" variant and I have no idea if the button on mine is broken or not. I thought it may have been a secondary shutter button. Also it takes bay 2 filters but not bay 2 hoods... So it might be a proprietary hood which means the chances of finding one are probably next to zero.

What light meter did you use in the video?

been wanting a mamiya 645 for a while, and for somebody on a budget and/or a massive nerd who loves exploring these types of things with my cameras, really appreciate this! gives you a level of detail about the camera you might not otherwise get. even if i end up getting a different 645 camera, that 220 back tip is following me everywhere. not wasting any film!

Shanghai still makes 220 GP3 film.

Another tip is that if you want to load up on 120 preloaded cartridges, just buy the cheap 220's and take off the tab (2 screws). Boom, cheap extras that you can have already loaded up ready to go.

It’s an interesting fact that it’s a non-Rollei f2.8 TLR, but other than that it has poor functionality (comparable more to the budget Rolleicord than the flex) and It’s absurdly expensive for being a Japanese TLR, for $500 bucks I’ll get a real Rolleiflex, a 2.8C or D.

I’m dumbfounded that I only just found out Olympus made TLR’s. It’s beautiful!

Excellent overview

To where do you advance when using 120 film in the 220 holder? I feel like when just lining up the arrows the first frame is partly covered by the tape securing the film to the backing

Great video. I remember bring frustrated about not getting that last bit of film for another frame(I personally own a 645pro tl and a 645 afd). A solution to this issue is when loading film, to not completely line the arrow to the holder's arrow. This creates the extra bit of room for an "extra" frame. However, I would recommend not relying on this last frame solution to be absolute. I have done this with both cameras (manual and auto), and this solution primarily to manual users.

That is a great-looking camera. I have a couple of Mamiya TLRs and a Yashica. You mentioned that accessories, including the leather replacement, are hard to find. I have a number of Mamiya M645s and I have paid up to $30 for a leather replacement kit. I have a few more that I am working on now. I took measurements on the M645 items to include the prisms and I am making templates to 3d print them and cut my material to repair or replace all of the leather on these cameras. What is so nice about this is I can do that for just about any camera if I have the measurements to go by. It takes a little time, but it is worth it. The replacement material is normally used for patching holes on chairs or sofas.

Do u have a video on how to loud up the 35mm film???? I also want to ask of I can buy the peace that you made to put on the view finder to guide you the area that be cover with the 35mm film

by any chance do u have any photo take with mama using 35mmn

could you please send me the link so where I can buy the 2 peaces to sue 35mm film on my mama 645
