Great information! I had a question about rating your film one stop below box speed. Are you saying if I’m using portra 400 I should set my seconic light meter to 200 iso to retain a stronger shadow area
I see nothing, what cannot be done with 35 mm film. In the contrary. The shots feel unnatural. The focal length is not ideal. Shooting is slow and the models have to wait an wait and wait. But I can't help it and I have it seen so often. The 35mm Film portraits looks mostly better than the medium format shots. Many photographers have the inner urge to shoot larger film formats. Why? I don't know. If you compare the results, the larger format does't deliver in most cases. A good 35mm camera and prime lenses with f1,4 to f2 brings better results to look at. The 35mm camera are easier to handle, faster and superior in shutter speed, faster lenses, better lenses and there are way more choices in focal length. And the bokeh is more pleasing. And the truth is. Medium or even large format doesn't make you a better photographer. In the contrary. But most likely arrogant. In term of cars. I have the Ferrari, a US muscle car, the Rolls Royce, the Bentley. But every one knows. These cars are not the best to use. Only for show-offs. Don't get me wrong. You have made very nice portaits, well done! But medium and even more large format is overrated. Not in terms of sharpness but in terms of the overall look, authenticity and in most cases not optimal focal length for the subject. They are very heavy too. Very bad and unhealthy for your cervical spine.
Between the revolving back and the dark slide the RB/RZ variants are not ideal for hand held work. The reversed image/ waist level finder is counter-productive for me. At 5'9", competitive girls are my height or taller and all the competitive guys are taller so shooting waist level at standing subjects every image will essentially be 'up the nose' to some degree and that does not play.
imma be honest, this was incredibly boring. No personality or flare was added to this video. It felt like an incredibly generic film photography video. Give your future videos some spice!!
The first person not to complain "the rz is heavy" then proceed to take it outside and stroll around with it like its nothing! Oh and shoot some amazing photos! Subbed!
Very confident that nobody has done a better job of A) describing the camera and format, B) showing it in action, and C) displaying actual results than you did right there. Absolutely first rate video.
Really liked you video. I just purchased an RZ67 Pro II. I noticed in your intro montage that you film back was a 220. I assume you shoot 120 as 220 is no longer made. So how well does that work? I have been told by several people shooting 120 in a 220 back won't work well, even though the film itself is the same. The 220 does not have the paper backing on the whole roll, just a bit on each end. Looking forward to seeing more of your photography.
Really beautiful work Nick - lovely airy colours there! I've been loving my lightweight Mamiya 7 but you cant beat the close focus and shall depth of field of these bigger cameras
Great Great Video ! Really Laid back , easy on the eyes and ears ..... excellent pics ! ...... a tiny request to please add the EXIF data so we can learn from your art too .... take care ! Thanks again !
Amazing!
It would had been great if you'd mention what aperture and shutter speed you used for each image.

More depth of field or more shallow depth of field ?
Dude! Stop playing with us and give us more BTS/How to use this beast! This was one of the most informative videos on this camera that I have seen.
