Your medium format work is night/day your best work. I feel like since you have to slow down and be more intentional, it leads to your best work. Stunning work - coming from someone who has followed you since your early days.
Means a lot thank you

Sam your medium format photos are by far my favorite pieces out of all your work. I really feel like they stand out compared to the rest. I just got a medium format film camera and I am so excited to try it out and start implementing it into my work. Thanks for inspiring us all Sam!!
So captivating! I borrowed one from a friends and it gives a different view of the world in terms of the depth and detail that just doesn’t compare with other sensors. I loved it and if anyone gets the chance, I strongly recommend trying out some medium format cameras.
I recently got into medium format on film. It’s not that different from 35mm, but it has a distinct look, especially on film where the light fall off is so much more pleasing to the eye
Don't forget the chunky ratio!
Gosh I just love the photos. Medium Format is really cool indeed. The look is unique!
Great video and pictures Samuel !! But what’s on your thoughts with the gfx 50 line ? Do you feel the different between a 40+ megapixel full frame camera ?
That trippy moment when you see a photo of where you're currently watching this video. 7:10
Would love to see more photos of your road trip down the coast, man. It's always fun to see locations that are sentimental and nostalgic to you through another's eye!
Awesome video dude! I just got a medium format film camera to experiment with on my channel and I cant wait to use that in tandem with my 35mm camera and my full frame digital camera
Fantastic video, Samuel! Really loving this content from you. All love from down under 🇦🇺⚡️
i just bought a 645 camera and when i got my scans back half of them were out of focus (lol) but the one that weren’t blew my minddd. the images are so crisp and clear when even you zoom in all the way.
although i do love my 35mm point and shoot
haven’t tried digital medium format but loves my medium format film camera. Love the feeling of medium format as well! thanks for sharing!
Wonderful!
Perfect sound. What mic?
Great video 👏👏
I would like to hear why you sold your gfx100 I think you might have spoken on it in a video but I'm not sure
Some day I’m gonna give it a try but for now I’m happy with my combo of a digital full frame as a main camera and a 35 film as my secondary.
Nevertheless I do love the look you are getting out of your shots.
For black and white portraits, a Kiev 60 is still an amazing option. Or getting a good deal on a Mamiya 645E. Depends on the lens selection someone needs and the look they're looking for. Most people shoot stuff that's very similar, so I couldn't see any justification for an expensive medium format camera.
tell me a reason why choosing 645e?
Nice job,, if you try the Mamiya Rz67 with the 110mm , you will never putting down. Thanks for sharing 👍
Insightful
Would be interested which is your favourite film medium format camera. Great vid thanks
Great video Sam, keep up the great work. In your own opinion what do you think a good beginner medium format digital camera is under $1000 ?
There is none that I can think of, good luck with that..
If you can get one under $12,000 let me know. Thats body only.
Amazing work and great insight! How did you take that shot at 7:10? Was the camera on a drone?
He shot it from 500ft tall basalt sea cliff on the Oregon coast.
Solid content. What camera are you using for your vlog content?
R5 / FX3
I’ve had a few medium format cameras, I would recommend everyone to pick up a cheaper TLR and try it out (I used to have a Rolleiflex Automat - which you can get for around 300-400 bucks).
I like your photos
I just got my first fujifilm camera, and I would like to have a medium format too, what's the one that you would recomend
FUJIFILM GFX 50S
Yep, I agree - although the 50R is probably the cheapest one you can find.
Like nice video, very educatioal an interesting...but I need more field trips broooo :)))
❤️
What’s the difference between medium frame and full frame? Just the amount that you can capture in the frame?
No, that's focal length. Medium Format in the digital space is the literal size of the sensor. Larger sensors are associated with a shallower depth of field and lower noise, but that's only if you keep the aperture the same. Medium Format is also a slightly squarer aspect ratio as it is 4:3 instead of 3:2.
@@jmiller2032 adding onto that, in the film space, medium format can be a various amount of sizes/aspect ratios, with the most traditional formats being 6x4.5 (smallest), 6x6 (square), and 6x7 (largest)
It’s just the use. As in Different uses. No need to add the word cases after the word use. Who made that up?!!! And don’t get me started on Price point. The word price is enough.
Ad every 2 min :/
it's quite simple really. If you need to ask whether medium format is worth it or not: it ain't for you
Those who need it already know why they do.
Why are you assuming we know what "medum format" is? I have no idea of what you are talking about!
Medium format is any sensor/film frame larger than full frame/35mm film.
120 film
Watch any of my previous videos. I go a lot more in depth. This isn’t really a technical channel however. Plenty of other videos on TH-cam on the technicalities
Medium format film is 61mm or 2.4 inches wide.
I bought a fuji gfx 100s....and returned it. Its really not worth the money. My r5 produced just as good photos. I was expecting to be blown away and I wasn't. I just people who say that medium format is better are simply full of it.
I disagree lol - my gfx100s is my favorite camera I’ve ever used
@@SamuelElkinsPhoto just because you like it doesn't mean it produces special images, it just means you like it. It objectively does not produce higher quality images over full frame cameras. I've side by side tested it myself.
