I had a friend lend me his old Yashica medium format that was like 75 years old. I loved the pictures it took, and you’re absolutely right about having to really think about your shots. You’re making me want to get one now!
Loved it! Might get my hands into one of these man. Btw, don’t ever stop uploading man, been here since 130 subs and your video editing and quality just keeps on getting better. Keep up your content and passion!
It's funny how in every single mamiya video I find in youtube, everyone says is pretty affordable, here in Mexico a pre-owned one in such bad condition is up to $800 USD, not to mention the fact that all the film supplies are extremely expensive, I wish I could live in some other country where film photography could be more affordable. Anyway, this was a really nice video. Greetings from Mexico.
Rodrigo Vazquez I live in the US, and I consider an RB67 to be fairly pricey, especially a Pro SD. Seems like a lot of TH-camrs are pretty well off financially and don't really understand that what is affordable to them might be expensive for others. They're just talking from their own perspective, of course, so I don't fault them, but these kind of statements stand out to me too.
taigaa!! miss seeing your vids my guy. been a subscriber for about 4 years now. idk u personally but man you've grown so much LOL age wise and content wise. love ur work 👌
The glass is probably the most important factor when it comes to picture quality. Scan size is more important if you’re going to make enlarged prints. Also, make sure to compensate for loss of light when using the bellows. Been using the rb67 pro for 4 years now and it still produces great negatives for me. I don’t see the need to upgrade to the RZ
@0:35 what are you talking about??? picture quality is like 90% the lens (and inherently the size of the negative/sensor too) and 10% film. You ever wonder why the real cost in photography is lenses? They literally make the image
@@taigafukuyama okay, and did they provide you with negatives or full prints. I am thinking of stepping into film photography but not sure how will I be able to process.
Where did you end up picking this up? I want to grab myself a medium format camera at some point, but I’m not sure where to look. Great video btw! Some great shots in here!
bruh i just had the same focusing issue after i just shot with the rb for the first time. do you have any other tips since you've been shooting this camera?
haha yea for the most part, i've just learned to shoot at lower aperture at like F8 so the general area is more in focus but yea it's still a little tricky for me lol
yes, i know. i keep lookin on ebay out of curiosity and most of them are even above the 600$ price tag. i believe, for a whole set you gotta spend around 1k (including more lenses). that's a few months savings for me ngl the cheapest way into medium format, for me at least, is a Lomo 166, or kiev 60. Depending on where you live, you can find them even cheaper, you ain't gonna see old people selling cheap mamiya's around here though
Right, Lubitels and Lomos can be had for pennies, but I kind of hesitate to load a 15€ portra into a 10€ camera. Kiev 60 is quite nice imo. Pentacon six or kiev 88 are also affordable choices here and I really like Moskva 5 w fomapan for example. But boy oh boy, Mamiya 67 is just such a Machine. Sadly, out of reach rn.
@@adrianhlina401 yes. we both gonna buy a mamiya, one day, just gotta have a bit of patience. today i'll test a lubitel 166b with a foma 400, wondering what the result will be.
Sure, we'll work our way up to it.😎 Lubitel has a nice swirly bokeh for portraits. I personally like to soak fomapan in HC110 for high contrast and shoot the 400 as a 200 iso (which it is in fact). Good luck with the combo. You can do some good work with it. It's all about the photographer right? Enjoy and have great day m8.
Keep it up. The way film is making a comeback, cameras like the RB 67 are ridiculously cheap. I don't think it will stay that way forever. Digital cameras just don't stir the kind of emotions with film camera. Hopefully, the repair shops can hold out until them.

This was an engaging and informative watch, Taiga! You know how to make film photos look so clean 👌🏻
Loved it! Might get my hands into one of these man. Btw, don’t ever stop uploading man, been here since 130 subs and your video editing and quality just keeps on getting better. Keep up your content and passion!
Ayyyy thanks for the support since day one man! Fosho gonna upload more!
I owned a RB67 Pro S w 127mm, 60mm, 250mm lens. Awsome system.

hahahaah time flies man time flies thnk u so much for sticking with me all deez years hahah
The Windows XP wallpaper was shot on the RZ
Nice vid tho!
Awesome video Taiga! Got me really interested in medium format. Also ffs stop sitting on cars 😂
😅
Great video!! Can I ask what kind of film you used for this shoot?

Hey bro nice vid! Just wondering what’s your studio lights setup been looking to get a new one ☝️
@0:35 what are you talking about??? picture quality is like 90% the lens (and inherently the size of the negative/sensor too) and 10% film. You ever wonder why the real cost in photography is lenses? They literally make the image
the sensor bro the sensor really matters on this camera
I just bought an RB67pro sd and I am so amped to use it after watching this. 🤙🏻
Kudos to you Taiga!
Yoooo good stuff. Always inspiration stuff. Keep it up hro
Whats that shirt your friend was wearing at 5:43 could you ask him where he got it from or what the brand/company is
I especially like the look of the skin tones and highlights on film👌🏾. Been watching alot of Vuhlandes' videos on film photography
Ayyy yessir! Vuhlandes and all other film ytbers are dope!
Seems like a really neat camera Taiga. Great job as always man!
Thanks a ton!
could you tell where u get the camera from !? thanks !
I also have the RB67 and love it. It is a tripod camera if you ask me. I use both a large fluid head or geared head on my stoutest tripod legs.
So what film scanner do u use?
Bro what LUTS you using on the video, it looks fire
Do you develop negative by yourself? How did you transform the images to digital?
Took it to my local photo lab!
@@taigafukuyama okay, and did they provide you with negatives or full prints. I am thinking of stepping into film photography but not sure how will I be able to process.
where did you buy your mamiya? all of the mamiya's i have been looking at are expensive af
sensor size????
Where did you get it so cheap? I want one too but I only find it at absurd prices on Ebay :(
boys who shoot film
I sold mine last year for wayyyyy to cheap haha. I just copped a steal on a body from KEH. I can't wait to get back into medium format.
How much!?
Where did you end up picking this up? I want to grab myself a medium format camera at some point, but I’m not sure where to look. Great video btw! Some great shots in here!
Bro... Is your RB67 for sale?
bruh i just had the same focusing issue after i just shot with the rb for the first time. do you have any other tips since you've been shooting this camera?
haha yea for the most part, i've just learned to shoot at lower aperture at like F8 so the general area is more in focus but yea it's still a little tricky for me lol
i love this film is never going to die!!!!
thank you for your informative video!
glad to help!
the shots at 5:45 did it for me
What happen to the uploads
I shoot my RB67 with 50/90/180/250mm lenses.
Actually the lens does matter as if it's shit quality the scan would be shit quality
>affordable
>300$
damn it feels bad to live in eastern europe smh
Mate, if you ever find one for 300€, let me know. They are asking 600€+ for these around here 😥
yes, i know. i keep lookin on ebay out of curiosity and most of them are even above the 600$ price tag. i believe, for a whole set you gotta spend around 1k (including more lenses). that's a few months savings for me ngl
