Ask you can see in the video, the Makina 67 is quite an integral part of my photography life and will be buried with me when I depart this world. LOL. What camera will you never part with?
Same here Paul! Just sent you an email about the W67 as a matter of fact.
my Zeiss Ikon Superikonta 532/16
like the pharaohs of old.
i love my pentax 67 II, but it would be nice to have something more compact too, With 105 lens, its funny because after i type it i saw next part of the video where you tell about it
I just got back into darkroom printing. Starting off with 8x10 on RC paper. Working with a big 6x7 negative was really my motivation. I do have 35mm and 6x6 as well as plenty of 645 negatives. Even on an 8x10 a 6x7 negative prints beautifully, even when cropping a bit. With a traditional grain 400 speed B&W film, I get both the "character" of film and the resolution and tone scale that makes the prints stand out. And I also have a Pentax 6x7 with the 105mm f2.4. A splendid lens. But also for me the combination is too heavy to drag around all day. Fully agree to what you said.
I was so excited when I watched that Uchida San interview for the first time. Not long after that I was able to get my Plaubel Makina 67. Thanks for sharing this.
This is the best review on TH-cam.
What a wonderful and insightful video- thank you for sharing. Having thought this may be my ideal camera, I am not deterred!
Thanks for the video. Made me understand more about makina 67. Great work!
Wow, so many comments to the old makina 67. I bought one in 1979. I do not know, if it works today, yet. But I store it from respect, there were a lot of outstanding pictures taken with. A underrated feature: the central shutter makes able taken pictures by flash with each shuttertime. You can fill in fashlight in different situations and get natural atmospharical look.
Very very interesting video. Thanks for sharing, and for the hard work.
Hey, thanks for sharing this video. I enjoyed listening to the designer's commentary.
Same with me, Makina is the best camera ever, at least for me:) Thank you for such a wonderful interview! Greetings from Prague, Czechia. If you ever come here, let me know;)
Thank you, Marek. Good to hear you enjoyed the interview. Prague is a place that I would love to visit after all this virus mess. If ever I visit, I'll be in touch! Cheers from Tokyo!
I really love your deep dive interview, I'm a learner and I would love to hear more about designer and engineer make film camera at that time, what make them design and how they overcome it during the process. I would love to see you find designer of golden age film like Mamiya, Bronica, Contax, Minolta with their infamous camera. I had thought of getting Makina after this video of your, it's a solid buy for me to get Makina 67.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, that was a really rare opportunity. Perhaps some of those old-timer designers are still around to interview. lol.
Great video; thanks for sharing.
Sick sound !
Советское Фото! Nice T-shirt! :D
Hujinn cheers!
amazing video
Amazing video. Thanks for posting and taking the time out to interview and translate Yasuo Uchida!
Excellent video. It's a pity they are fragile, because apart from these factors the Makina 67 would be a perfect street camera.
I sure would love to hear more about Yasuo-san's work experiences. He probably has some incredible stories to tell about the C35AF's development
Yeah, the DVD he gave me was from a TV documentary about his team's development of the C35AF. Interesting program; al in Japanese with proprietary rights with NHK. Quite strict about copying, sharing, etc. If the opportunity arises to meet Uchida-san again, I will certainly ask him about that.
@@PauldelRosario I'll wait for a copy of it to show up somewhere on the internet or something. Hint hint
NiiCh 😂
i love the design of this camera, i am a bit torn between this , the GF670 and the Mamiya 7. the prices of the mamiyas are so crazy that i may get the Makina
wow great video. thank you. Lucky to be able to meet the chief designer. I hope one day I can still meet him. May I ask you how important is it to put the focusing distance to infinity before collapsing or decollapsing the bellows? I was reading an article few days ago and the author mentioned that its not even in the instruction manual. thank you
Thanks for the video.
Was looking for information about the camera but have to ask what music is playing in the video? Sounds classic and futuristic in the same place, perfectly matched to the camera :)
Great video, really loved the story. A little off-topic, but I was wondering what brand are those headphones? They look so good!
It is an amazing lens, not only its sharpness but an _amazing_ bokeh. Do you know how the Makina manufacture later switched from Konica to Mamiya? What's the story behind that?
I made 5 by 7 prints that were scanned at high resolution and shot at F 2.8 and they were extremely detailed and sharp. I think the scanning does degrade the quality but the large size of the negative made it turn out great anyways..
This was such a good video. It was really interesting to listening to one of the engineers on the camera.
You highlighted some great points on this format. I shoot a rz67. I love the prints. Like you said you see the real strengths in a print. I find that portrait position works for me with 6x7. In landscape I would like maybe a 6x12 or or 6x9 as I’m always thinking “I Wish this frame was wider” As the rz67 is very bulky and heavy once you bring a tripod, a few backs and lens. You must plan what you are going to do. So this lends itself to project work.
I looked into a making 67 when I wanted to have a walk around rangefinder one medium format. It’s beautiful in the hand and compact once the bellows are retracted.
Since I’ve moved to medium format I find it hard to go to 35mm. They both have advantages. I find 35mm better for night work and low shutter speed photos.
Indeed. Choose something that suits your needs, then "add to cart" accordingly. lol.
Paul del Rosario lol most definitely.
Love this video. Do you know why Geissler insisted on the big lens component? Aesthetics, ergonomics, or both?
My guess is both
I’ve wanted one of these for a while, but I’m not sure it gives me anything more than my Mamiya 7. Would love to try one tho’.
great video! I've only tried to print makina negative to 11x14. I may try 16x20 sometime.
Do you always shoot it handheld?
Yup
Советское фото :D
Woww BIGU SUBSCRIBU!
What kind of tripod is the camera sitting on?
I totally agree with you when you print mf, it's just so beautiful. I snapped a pic of my wife and son when we went HK a few years ago using my 500cm and when I printed it into paper, it was just stunning to see! Even my friends thought it was from a digital camera. I might consider the 67 if I dwell further into this but 500cm for now is just beautiful enough. Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures and the interview. Did you consider getting the konica C35?
500cm is a beauty. I hope that pic is hanging somewhere in the house! lol. I've seen that c35 around at used camera shops, but never really thought of getting one. If I see one for 100 yen, I will. lol
Is there a story about Советское Фото magazine cover on your t-shirt? )
I find a bit difficult to use my Makina 67 while wearing glasses. Eye relief distance is not ideal, and the metal eyepiece scratches my glasses. Any recommendations?
If you can't focus with your chin resting on your left hand, giving you a tiny space between your eyeglasses and the metal piece, then you might want to put small strips of tape (in circular form) around the metal piece to act as a scratch guard.
You can glue an O-ring of the same diameter to it.
Hello Paul ! I am a makina67 user also. I love it. One question : do you print from negative (or positive) or do you print from scan ? And other question when I send to my lab my films do you recommand an high resolution scan ? Thank you.
Thanks for dropping by. I print my negatives in the darkroom about 95% of the time as I no longer own a scanner. I don't shoot reversal, but if I did, I would have it drum scanned.
@@PauldelRosario Thank you
Great informative video about this camera. It's cool to see the actual designer give his insights on the design.. Konica are not bad lenses, and I'm sure the camera would have still been very good with one. But in the end, I also think the Nikon Nikkor 80mm lens was a great choice. The Images look really sharp..
The name of the optics made by Konica is HEXANON !
@@jacovanlith5082 Excuse me... I meant Hexanon...
Like for T-Shirt 😜
I'm glad someone appreciates the tshirt! lol
Waiting for my Makina 67 right now! Maybe take a month...
