+Matt Day M6 is just an overpriced gadget for the Leica elitist, The Minolta CLE will kill it on any level is way cheaper and has a lot more to offer. There's a reason why minolta got into a big fight with Leica basically making a better camera then the M7 and less then half the price with the exact same lenses. The more you know, Leica is overrated and overpriced.
"Put the thingy on the thingy, turn the thingy" That tickled me cause I completely understood that as well. Loved the photos in the factory! Great video man.
A year late, but I agree. When I was younger we'd watch 411 skate videos and then head out for hours. Now I watch Negative Feedback and immediately load my F100
If you have ever shot a dslr, or have nikon glass beforehand, nikon f100. It may not be the aesthetic you expect for an analog camera, but the results and value is top notch
I've been using Leica M6 for a couple of years, and it's still my favorite camera. This video helps to have a more depth view of using of Leica M6 when I just started to use Leica.
"Thingy on the thingy... turn the thingy" I think I've explained how to load film exactly the same way!! Thanks for the video, guys. I've been looking forward to an M6 vid for a while!
My approach to shooting film changed drastically after I started watching your content! I get so much more joy out of it now and experiment a lot more with film and different cameras so I didn't even hesitate a second to support you guys on Patroen. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more :)
For me I didn't like the Leica M6 at first, couldn't get used to the rangefinder focusing, manual metering, it was so different from my AF dslr cameras. But after spending more time with an M2, I learned about sunny16 and zone focusing and I became hooked. It's now one of my favorites. I agree on the costs being high, but they seem to be a growing investment.
I think the biggest benefit of using a fully manual film camera, rangefinder in particular, is that it forces you to become a much better photographer over time, from seeing and working with light to previsualising a composition, to knowing how to work on nothing but the simplest cameras and trusting your choices will work. Ever since shooting film more and more (now 100%), my skill as a photographer before even thinking about cameras and lenses has increased a lot.
Your eyes frame an image in a way I want to emulate. Your videos are more than descriptions of photographic gear and the experience of using it. Thank you.
100% agree on the price, especially now! I bought mine for £600 and that was already a stretch. Just had a look and was surprised that I couldn't find one below £2000! Don't get me wrong, it's my favourite camera and my go-to every day, but that's only because I didn't have to take out a mortgage to buy it...
I'm not especially keen on the faux indie style in these videos, but an independently published zine is a fantastic idea. I'm definitely going to buy a copy.
I'm somewhat confused, why do you use a camera that uses film rather than a modern digital one? Is it because of the look of the images? I've only shooted with DSLR's and I recently found your channel.
There's quite a lot of reasons really, It slows me down since every photo costs, which makes me think harder about the photos that I take, so I often end up only taking the photos I like as opposed to digital where i'll just snap away and spend hours editing out the photos that I wouldn't have taken. The look is great and is something that I found myself trying to replicate with my digital photos. With larger format film cameras the potential resolution is actually far greater than a digital camera, so there's more scope to print bigger. It's just a work process that I really enjoy and I like the physical aspect to it, and I definitely appreciate spending less time editing my photos.
Thanks! It is something I definitely want to at least try, what is your opinion on the Holga 120N? It's the cheapest film camera that I see online and looks decent to try and get into film shooting
Brandon Lim there are hundreds of cameras in that range that would fit your needs. Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, & Kodak all made great cameras in the 1950's to 1990's that can be had for that much or less. Look into a Nikon Fm or FA, Pentax K1000, Olympus Om-1, Canon Ae-1, Olympus RC or XA, & check forums or select EBay sellers like KEH or Roberts Camera to find them in great shape.
Do you shoot a lot of portraits with your Mamiya 7? I'm interested in getting into a medium format system for landscapes and portraits. With maybe a hint of street. Thanks.
NegativeFeedback I've thought of one of the Pentaxes. But I know it's a beast as a walk around. Plus multiple versions. 67 version with MLU seems the most logical.
Cool video and amazing photos but as a film camera noobie it would of been nice if you talked more about all the little things like how the focus works as compared to SLR's, how it looks through the viewfinder, how the light meter works, aperture, etc. That woulda been cool!
Hey man, only discovered your series this evening. Have to say I'm really impressed. Personally I'm a digital Fuji-X shooter chap, who now and again has a fling with a friend's Mamiya 6 and an old Polaroid, but you're tempting man... you're tempting me. I really like the portrait at 3:45 by the way, reminds me a bit of a Fred Herzog self portrait I've seen. Beautiful light. You really know your stuff when it comes to actually getting good pictures, which is more than most TH-cam reviewers do. Have you tried Garry Winogrand? Might be your thing when loading with HP5...
Curious to hear what film stock those color images towards the end of the video were shot on, super dreamy colors. Looks like a mixture of Portra and some kind of Fuji film, 400H?
NegativeFeedback also, just found out you were the guy who took the pic of the housing estate with England flags and horses, any way for me to buy a print of it?
hi gives film rolls to the lab for develop. after that lab develop and scans the negatives, later send them to george. He crops in lightroom and done. that's all, i guess.
Good video but not much reviewing, didn't mention about the benefits of rangefinder or the M6 specifically. Why was it the most lust after camera other than it being silent? Would have liked to hear more detail about why it's so great and why it isn't. What type of photographs is it suited for? What was the reason(s) that made you buy it? Why is it not suited for you style of photography?
Bayeux, say we sent you in and they should give you 30% off, they're so much better than eye culture, not only on customer service but also the quality
Do you have any interest in doing a review video for a Bessa Voigtlander R-Series camera? I in particular am interested in the Bessa R4M. Love the channel!
Had an M5 for a while. I would STILL love an M6 but the same issue would apply. I'd forever worry that it would break and then it's the expense of fixing it. At least with the M6 you can get it fixed. With the M5, not so easy due to parts scarcity. Shoot with a Bessa now. Not a million miles away from the same experience.

That's my baby!
The M6 as well!
*pretends to not be hurt*
Ha!
It's going to be so strange to let go of mine
Come on, don't be like that.
I thought we were Matt Baes *bu dum tss*

"we've got some fun things planned" **takes photo of litter in bush**
1:01 Hands down the most detailed instructions I've ever witnessed.
If only instruction manuals could be as detailed and thorough as that
Thingy on the thingy and turn the thingy hahahahaha
Lol haha
the colours in your photography not only looks good, but the colour grade of these videos always looks amazing
Found in a week. Watched all videos. Now my favourite channel.
Amazing! Glad you're enjoying it
NegativeFeedback Selling that M6?
I think that’s pretty much how a lot of film photographer feel about this channel
"Put the thingy on the thingy, turn the thingy" That tickled me cause I completely understood that as well.
Loved the photos in the factory! Great video man.
Every video leaves me inspired to go out and shoot, I can't get enough of this channel.
I really Leica this video :)
Tim Palman heyyoooo
*dab*
I like you, my type of humor
rest in rip
get out
I subscribed at around 300 subs and the rate at which you guys are growing is just amazing, well done video as always
Now I'm all amped up to go shoot. Almost like watching a skate vid before going out to skate. Thanks guys great video as always!
Timothy Ditzler couldn't have said it better
A year late, but I agree. When I was younger we'd watch 411 skate videos and then head out for hours. Now I watch Negative Feedback and immediately load my F100
everything looks more artistic in black and white
even pure crap....what a waste
Hey George! long time fan, really appreciate you putting together these videos.
love this channel don't worry about posting every week or every month, i will always come back and watch!!
'Thingy on the thingy, turn the thingy' This was such a good review! I dream of owning this camera! It is so beautiful!
Is there a 35mm camera would you recommend for someone who is just starting out with shooting 35mm? -Colin
Hi! Try out Canon AE-1. Good investment, great performance and fun to use.
I think the Nikon F3 is better value than the Leica and produces excellent quality images
If you have ever shot a dslr, or have nikon glass beforehand, nikon f100. It may not be the aesthetic you expect for an analog camera, but the results and value is top notch
@@rullestaden As a Leica M6 and F100 owner, I would definitely recommend the F100.
I've been using Leica M6 for a couple of years, and it's still my favorite camera. This video helps to have a more depth view of using of Leica M6 when I just started to use Leica.
I've been really curious about leica M6 lately, so this caught my attention! Love your channel btw
What are you going to get for the M6 replacement?
Lovely editing and tunes in this show guys!
Dude I love your whole channel! Your videos are so awesome man, keep it up!
Man the production value on these really just seems to be getting better and better
Hope to get to work with you on something sometime
"Thingy on the thingy... turn the thingy"

Love my M6TTL ... such a joy to shoot
Awesome video as always.
you guys are going to hit 100k in no time!
Yes, the M6. Love it! :)
Some of the few channels that doesn't bombard viewers with all the mumbo jumbo. Great channel 😊

just bought myself my first Leica m6... so stoked!!!
ooo the chosen photos at the end were fantastic!
This channel is going to really blow up. It takes time but I'm looking forward to it
Came across your channel last week and have almost watched all the videos. Great stuff =)
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it
I love your videos dude !
Your eyes frame an image in a way I want to emulate. Your videos are more than descriptions of photographic gear and the experience of using it. Thank you.
I love the way u color grade the video!!
I don't shoot film but I like your pictures and the way you present cameras. Subscribed.
I kinda miss the regular songs playing in the back, great video as always 👌🏻
I love your work and attitude, keep it up!
you guys are funny with the camera spinning. keep it up Louis!
Finally made the cut! Steez as always George.
Chyea boi

"We in da buildin" - Mike Janik
Alex Rodriguez someone got it ;
OH IT'S LIT
I knew you would reply to that comment Mike XD
Carlos Ramos turn up for olympus om-1!! Ayyy
100% agree on the price, especially now! I bought mine for £600 and that was already a stretch. Just had a look and was surprised that I couldn't find one below £2000!

You guys are incredible
I'm not especially keen on the faux indie style in these videos, but an independently published zine is a fantastic idea. I'm definitely going to buy a copy.
So what camera would you recommend that is as good as this quality but cheaper?
madeline kess this defo needs an answer!
I really like the style of your video's, amazing like always!
how do you get your photos developed/scanned?
What (cheaper) alternative camera would you recommend for the same sort of application?
Olympus 35DC or Canonet 17
awesome video man!
4:25 , such a beautiful photograph!
For the upside down shot... you can just flip your negative when scanning/printing.. for future reference. :D Unless you were just doing it for fun.

Thanks alot! this is a great community haha, I think I might start out by simply looking around thrift stores for a 35mm to try it out that way.
love these videos so much! keep it up Boyz!
Can you do a Contax g1/g2 review? It's a nice system that ha been compared to Leica but is fully electronic. Thanks
is there anywhere i can see some more of your skate photos?
Which lenses did you use and more importantly from those colour shots, what film was that ? Avid M6 shooter myself ;)
I subbed to you guys at 1k, it is amazing how far you have come! its amazing! PS I love my leica M6
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it
rly digging the channel man, keep it up!
Which lens are you using on the leica?
any recommendations for a 35mm camera (either point n shoot + a interchangeable lense system) under $150?

thanks for the response! I'll definitely look into your recommendations
Known you from Nate Punzalan's channel and now I am so into film photog!!
Do you shoot a lot of portraits with your Mamiya 7? I'm interested in getting into a medium format system for landscapes and portraits. With maybe a hint of street. Thanks.
It's not really a portrait camera, you're probably better off with an SLR like the Pentax 67, not to say you can't use the mamiya though
NegativeFeedback I've thought of one of the Pentaxes. But I know it's a beast as a walk around. Plus multiple versions. 67 version with MLU seems the most logical.
M6 ftw! Great video.
Is it possible for you guys to make a review of the Canon AE-1?
Canon AE-1 is my move for the moment! great video
The pictures at the end, what film were they shot on? Also can you recommend a film developing lab in the UK?
I'm really digging your video, music, and content. please keep it up. You should do a video of your video setup. Love to learn more about it. Cheers!
OG Negativefb 🙌
Cool video and amazing photos but as a film camera noobie it would of been nice if you talked more about all the little things like how the focus works as compared to SLR's, how it looks through the viewfinder, how the light meter works, aperture, etc. That woulda been cool!
Question. What kind of scanner / software you use to upload the photographs. Thanks.
could make a video about what gear do you use to shot these videos
and how do color grade the footage +NegativeFeedback
what lens is that?
Hey man, only discovered your series this evening. Have to say I'm really impressed.

Looks like a mixture of Portra and some kind of Fuji film, 400H?
Portra 400/160, Fuji proplus 200 - I really love the tones from the proplus but no where stocks it in the UK, I bought some when I was last in America
lovin your work bro, really inspiring and you have a sick style with you
It's a brand new review of LEICA M6 👍
Picked up a signed copy of your magazine from the photographers gallery in soho. Ace stuff!
Awesome, glad you like it!
NegativeFeedback also, just found out you were the guy who took the pic of the housing estate with England flags and horses, any way for me to buy a print of it?
As much as I respect Leica, I think I can do very well with my Nikon FM3a, great film camera, I hope you make a video of it someday, cheers
Hey, whenever you take pictures, do you have to go to a shop to get them developed or do you have a system of doing that at home?
Hi! I love your videos! I just wanted to ask, how do you color grade these vids?
what lens were you using? Also what is your favorite camera / recommendation for film cameras.
Who do you use to print I'm trying to make photobook and need a reliable source
Low key thought George was gonna say he was gonna give away his M6
do you shoot film and then do everything digitally or do you use a darkroom
hi gives film rolls to the lab for develop. after that lab develop and scans the negatives, later send them to george. He crops in lightroom and done. that's all, i guess.
Curious, What camera do you use to film the videos? Do you Color Correct the video?
What was your ISO set at while shooting?
please look at a hassleblad x pan or a fuji tx 2 they are awesome
Oscar Downing hey, they focus on film cameras , hence the name of the channel.
they are both film cameras
really nice review! I got a Leica M9 to test for three weeks and I really like it so far. Cool experience to test a Leica rangefinder camera :)
Great review of the M6! Which colour film did you use in those shots and which one do you recommend?
Good video but not much reviewing, didn't mention about the benefits of rangefinder or the M6 specifically. Why was it the most lust after camera other than it being silent? Would have liked to hear more detail about why it's so great and why it isn't. What type of photographs is it suited for? What was the reason(s) that made you buy it? Why is it not suited for you style of photography?
george what fleece are you wearing?
great video again guys.. but you have only increased everyone's lust for that m6
Where do you suggest looking to find decently priced cameras?
Great video once again! Maybe do a video in shooting slide film?
how do you get you films developed?
Great vid!
where do you get your film developed? I've been using eye culture in Bethnal Green but haven't been that happy with the results...
Bayeux, say we sent you in and they should give you 30% off, they're so much better than eye culture, not only on customer service but also the quality
I'm looking for a camera that can give me good grain kinda like a vintage look in my photos, any options?
Do you have any interest in doing a review video for a Bessa Voigtlander R-Series camera? I in particular am interested in the Bessa R4M. Love the channel!
