Wow. The 43mm is WIDE, but it really does look like something special. Might be wide initially, but it seems like you settled into it, and really made some great, composition. The shot at 7:19 REALLY caught my eye for it contains both the grass, tree, and clouds in it. All these elements have a more even interplay with the wide angle field of view, and a solid balance is achieved within the composition.
Neat! I kind of like how 80mm looks on any frame size... 80 mm on 6x6, 80 mm on 4x5, 80 mm on cropped medium format digital (X1D), and 85 mm on 35 mm. The depth compression’s the same, just different crops, and I just like that look. That personal preference aside, the 43mm shots look really good here! What a great a great option to have in your bag. Try some environmental portraits with that lens, too. I never get tired of the outdoors around where you live, either. Cheers, Corey!
if you really _need_ a particular wide angle certainly comes down to the ability to use the potential of the lens and know what you want to realize with it. in the wide angle segment the difference between focal lenghts are more drastic. An 100mm compared to a 107mm has less of an impact visually than 50 and 43. So jeah, its pretty much wider but wether or not you need it you can only answer for yourself if you actually like to capture as much as possible and if you even shoot scenes that require this ultra wide angle :)
@@paulreinhold- thanks! Looking at the images I can find I'm leaning towards the 50... Due to its less "ultrawide" look. I'm probably going to use it more for confined areas than the wide outdoors.
I really really really recommend getting a Gradient Neutral Density filter for shots with a horizon -- 2 stop in places with light colored land and very bright sky, 3 stop in forested areas with a bright sky. Soft edge makes it so that even when the horizon isn't in the middle, the results are still good. IMO it helps with all films, but is vital for slide film. It is easy to meter for, because the M7 meter spot tends to be below the frame center, so you get the detail right in the ground, and the bright sky is brought down nicely -- you don't have to do mental compensation, just use what the meter says 99% of the time.
only that this doesnt suit Coreys shooting style (mostly handheld) because he is already underexposing most of these photos here. i dont think he can make room for another 2-3 stops. gradient filters are for precision, especially with rangefinders. in general, of course, these filters would "improve" the photos though if you see it from a more general aesthetic standpoint.....
Dude love your videos! Your photographs are extra crispy - but the transition where you show your photos and they skrrrt into the frame is lowkey making my head hurt lol
Im currently based in the Seymour/Maryville area. I have shot film before but my film cameras are in storage right now. Im using a canon 5D classic right now.
the 43mm is simply the best wide angle lens you can get, no doubt about that - super crisp sharp, no distortions, no vignetting - if one likes the focal length is a different question, I think it needs more (interesting) foreground like on 08:18
actually the 43 has a considerable amount of vignetting but its not so visible using negative film. when using slide the light falloff is pretty prominent. however, sweet lens.
The video the community needs and has been waiting for. Just snagged a Mamiya 7 and there’s barely any decent info (video at least) out there that showcases the other lenses. Everyone just has one lens since they’re so expensive. 😂
The Mamiya 7 is known mostly for the 43mm and 80mm. They are the main reasons to get into the system. They just work and are on another level. If you know you know.
I shot with this lens 43 mm and you don't really need to carry this additional viewer. We you thought the camera just know that as far you can see will be more or less in the picture 🙂
Yikes man, I feel like the gear central videos are holding you back. I know that the world is hard right now but I'd love to see you pull away from that and focus more on the photography instead of the gear. We all know the mamiya 7 is great, but what the heck are you gunna do with it 🤘
That’s never been what my photos are about. I’m not a technical photographer. I hang out outside and take photos. And I appreciate what you’d love to see, but I’m going to keep doing what I love to do, which is making these videos for fun :)
@@coreywolfenbarger8992 appreciate the response! Not a technical photographer over here either - and I totally respect your answer. I just think that when we title a video with a camera model (or always talk about these things) it can sometimes take away from what we do as photographers. I appreciate what you do, and like you said there is a lot to be said for keeping it fun - especially right now in the world. Cheers and happy shooting :)
Okay, as much as I appreciate the work that goes into making film photography videos please lose the low-fi beats, this ain't 2015 Negative feedback. You do you Corey. Call me old fashioned but a guy running two Mamiya 7's should be able to make interesting photographs especially at a location like that, these shots even for comparison sakes were a bit bleh. FYI everybody - Good camera's wont mean good pictures. There ...I said it. Rant over :-)
Massive flex wielding akimbo Mam 7’s
Corey's panicked state trying to set up before golden hour ends is basically me living everyday life 24/7
“Oh buddy” me the entire time you were putting on the viewfinder. Dope video though, can’t wait for the next one!! 👌🏾👌🏾
Haha exactly
I though it was satire too , then I relaised he was for real.
mmmm...sunset from atop the smokies...adding that to the list. Thanks for the vid.
I love these videos so much, loved to see 2 vids in a row.

This man hauled ass up the steepest paved walking path on earth so the people could lay eyes on that tasty mountain view! QUADS OF STEEL!!!!
Corey, that one at 8.17 is spectacular.
great video buddy. beautiful photos and that's a sunset i'd die to witness
Beautiful pictures as always loving the new videos!
Neat! I kind of like how 80mm looks on any frame size... 80 mm on 6x6, 80 mm on 4x5, 80 mm on cropped medium format digital (X1D), and 85 mm on 35 mm.

that 8:17 photo is just gorgeous!
Amazing timing, just looking at the 43mm and 50mm lenses right now.. wondering whether I really need the extra 7mm..
Also why compose first and then focus? Other way around seems more logical to me... At least for landscapes

Thanks for the effort and passion you put into these videos Corey and Drew! I thoroughly enjoy them!
Really cool to see you take a few portraits. I thought they came out great!
Every film photographer ever: Red Licorice in the background
what a gorgeous area!
Liking the video for the quick hike to the dome! Dope photos!

Lol we all knew you were never gonna make it up there for the light! Still got some nice shots up there though, I’d say worth it
Awesome video!
I was thinking about that camera for a while! Amazong pictures!
I just made a video about my Mamiya 7ii and Im going from the 80 to the 65 and 150. 43 looks too wide but beautiful shots!
Dude I felt that stress when rushing to get golden hour, especially as you're driving and you know the lights good! haha
Try the texas leica
Photos were soooo goood
Can confirm, that .6 mile walk is tough.
Im currently based in the Seymour/Maryville area. I have shot film before but my film cameras are in storage right now. Im using a canon 5D classic right now.
I live in Seymour! Small world haha.
@@coreywolfenbarger8992 wow, thats crazy!
"kinda looks flames" it really do be
lowkey liking this video
We all know you were able to hike that 0.6mi in three quick strides with those Jack Skellington legs 😂👌
80mm is my favorite lens on the 7.
I was lowkey thinking "im pretty sure thats on backwards" hahaha you love to see it.
ur literally popping off
Thank you for suffering for those shots 😤🤘
Can someone tell me what happened to the sunset colour in those last shots? Scan issue?
Yeah i was wondering the same. The video footage doesn't lie, and those film shots look nothing like what was going on for real.
Jim Barnard be a scan issue then or the highlights are too blown out
What is this video filmed on?
Nice shots man. Chill style of vids too. 👍

@@paulreinhold-
Thx, can't tell - just using negative film for its scanning ability
That 43 is pretty money!
I like the profile photo!
Lol, read that as reviewing 7 Mamiya Lenses, and was waiting for him to talk about the other 4 lenses the whole time. Silly me!
This is where you shot that Twitter photo Corey ?
I love your videos bro! This is such a mood haha
His hand is shaking over the excitement! Lmaoo
This video was too relatable...
Hitting legs to get the good light is my favourite thing to do 🙃
The video the community needs and has been waiting for. Just snagged a Mamiya 7 and there’s barely any decent info (video at least) out there that showcases the other lenses. Everyone just has one lens since they’re so expensive. 😂
check out Steven Milner's channel, he used the 43 and 150 especially in his landscape photos and also reviewed them :)

Yo the shot at 8:18 looks crispy 🙌🏽 🔥
Great photos and the b roll was 😂
love the poodle
5:44 Windows 10 default notification sound
Lol at adding that viewfinder 😂
Dude I entered!! Ready to pick it up from you in Knoxville lol. Awesome video man!
I shot with this lens 43 mm and you don't really need to carry this additional viewer. We you thought the camera just know that as far you can see will be more or less in the picture 🙂
Damn! That 43mm is wield.
omg like im a photographer now
Totally missed the rainbow shot
Cool channel btw!
I sold it cause it's bloody expensive and I was afraid that it will break 🙂

cool vid
those are some google wallpaper worthy type shots lol.

beginning of this video made me anxious - in monotone

that really is a hard ass 0.6 miles makes no sense lol

High key put that on backwards and low key i was stressed
dummy wide
When people dont know how to make pictures, they compare gear.....
when people can't make their own videos they leave negative comments on other peoples...
