Nice toys. Real cameras for me start with 120 black and white film. When I get into the darkroom I know why. Yashica Mat and Pentax 67 are my go to cameras.
Never heard of Marc, probably because of my age, but his vibe and passion for film photography kept me locked the entire video. I have a couple of his camera picks and agree completely. I love the video’s you’ve been putting out. Great job from you and your guest. I love true passion for film photography. 👍
I JUST SAW HIM PERFORM A FEW WEEKS AGO AT BROOKLYN MIRAGE!! always wanted to photograph him in his element one day, haven't even hit 10 seconds in but i know how much he loves cameras. super cool to see
My first job at 17 was a pro photographer’s assistant in 1988: I learned 35mm with the Canon F1 (amazing SLR), 6x6 with the Hasselblad we see here, my boss’s main baby, and the Mamiya RB67 - 6x7 format. Back in the day using a light meter, drying the Polaroids with a hair dryer😁 Mainly though I became adept at B&W film processing and developing. I never liked physics until I studied photography- so important to be a serious photographer, light physics etc. I was a pro for a while until my portfolio (hand printed by me) and my new expensive Nikon SLR were stolen on an Aeroflot flight in ‘93… Life and all, changed career completely after that. The Russian soldier with the AK, telling me to sit down and forget the theft… Gloomy Moscow airport post USSR. Back in the day!
I LOVED this episode thank you so much!! I was a touring musician in the 90s and also found photography to be a blessed distraction and means of capturing moments and places I knew I probably wouldn’t see again. Years later I now share the same love for these “machines” and collect them of course. For the 500 C/M - get the 40mm CF/FLE, it would be so great on the road!! You can get right up close to anything and that lens goes BAM. It’s a special lens and makes really unique results.
I wasn't familiar with Marc Rebillet before seeing this. First off, this was a great interview, very well conducted and the responses were both genuine and enthusiastic. Second, Marc's images were fantastic. Third, Marc did an excellent job of getting to the heart of what makes film photography special - not only the images themselves as rendered by the chosen lenses, but also the experience of physically interacting with the cameras themselves. Something else that Marc mentioned made me realize that today most photographers create images using devices, whereas decades ago we routinely used machines (film cameras) to create photographs. These days with film photography we still use machines for the capture itself, though we might not go on to produce photographs, choosing instead to enter into the digital realm. Yet the option to go fully analog by developing our own film and printing our own photographs in a darkroom remains a possibility for those that want to do so. Great content!
I enjoyed this video immensely, especially the photo results of each camera. I love how each camera has it's own personality, aka signature look, or result on the end product. We get to see life as it was intended to be perceived when the camera was produced, and to me that is the beauty of owning cameras from different era's in time.
What a nice surprise to find Marc Rebillet on this page as your guest, cool talk, very passionate guy, but what I missed a bit is talking about film stocks. I love nerding about cameras and lenses but in the end we capture it on a piece of celluloid and there are so many out there! old ones that are not being produced anymore but also new ones popping up!
What an enjoyable conversation! For someone mostly shooting solo, talks like these are like a vitamin boost in terms of creative motivation and appreciating the experience of photography, so thank you both!
Marc if you enjoy the build quality of the Leica, you might want to look into acquiring a Rolleiflex TLR for your collection. It has a build quality on par with Leica and is a smaller and lighter medium format option than your Hasselblad; it might be a better traveling camera for you. The 3.5F is my favorite
Wonderful interview! I have watched your channel for a long time & I have always have thought the content was so good. Thank you for all your work you do in making such a wonderful experience with your channel. I have tried many rangefinder cameras, including a Leica M3 & Leica IIIf, but I never bonded with them. The camera that I fell in love with is the Olympus OM 1. The glass is amazing & the experience, for me, is very satisfying.
This came out of nowhere. I just saw him in one TH-cam post with analog cameras around his neck. I didn't know he's an actual collector and enthusiast.
So in regards to the 35mm viewfinder on the Leica Standard, my best guess is back in the day it wasn't unheard of for Leica to do custom work for some of their clients. So we can probably assume that whoever owned that it previously probably made a special request and sent the camera back to Leica and had them put a 35mm viewfinder on it for them.
Been working for Kodak for quite a few years now it's so cool seeing tons of people starting to use film again. Heck we have been producing out the ass this year!
Wow, more than a great musician, he’s got a photographic eye! I haven’t used a Pen F but the exposure settings remind me of Rolleiflex and Rolleicord TLRs which use exposure value (EV) to set the aperture and shutter combination on the camera. Just read the EV number for the scene with your hand held light meter (I use a Sekonic match needle style), set that EV number with the ring that has both EV and aperture on it and your correct exposure is set as the shutter is linked. Just adjust the shutter lever if that needs changing and watch the linked aperture. Brilliantly simple since the 1930s
Loved this! I’m a fan of both of you ❤ I’m a Leica III fan too. I have a beautiful IIIG and sold it a few years ago to raise some quick funds. The buyer didn’t like it and I got it back. My goodness when I pulled it out of the box I apologized and told it I’d never sell it again. It really is so beautiful and I enjoy shooting it. The only downside, stinks to load it with film! I also have found the Canonet GIII 17 to be such a fun and impressive camera to use.
Marc, you have really nice selection of cameras. Only one suggestion, on your contact RTS, try the 50mm f1.4 which was the main lens presented by contax. It’s the perfect match. They knew what they were doing. It makes a HUGE difference 😉
What a fantastic interview. I’m not into cameras, but the editing and mood of the interview is a very intimate one. A whole new side to the man, the myth the legend!
Mark has some awesome cameras. So much depth to film camera technology. Love that he's into photography. (I think he might enjoy making his own prints.)
Foto-Care is great. I've been buying camera equipment there since 2010. Every single purchase has been a great experience. I was introduced at a photography workshop with Jay Maisel.
Marc is now the latest addition to the long line of touring musician/photographer lineage. Tony Levin, Andy Summers, Seal, Lenny, John "Bermuda" Schwartz to name a few. I'm sure there's a ton more...
Don't forget that they made different lens adapters for the Pen F system. I use an original Pen F to Nikon. You can put your Leica glass on your Pen FT!
Pen FT meter is just simple brilliance. When the camera came out, you had cameras like the Pentax Spotmatic, which had a meter but required stopped down metering. Later on cameras came out with mechanical linkages in the lens to communicate the max f stop to the camera. The Pen F lacks that mechanical linkage, which was a) normal for the time, but also b) probably helped reduce cost, and c) probably helped reduce the size of the lenses. The number of the lens is simply “stops from wide open.” That way the camera can meter wide open, without the extra mechanisms that allow most SLRs to meter wide open.
Such a cool interview! Never new that Marc was such a collector… his collection looks mighty good, especially for only 1,5 years of shooting… that Minolta TC-1 caught my eye for sure. And the folding camera towards the back… maybe a new version of the Bessa? Anyways, so cool to hear you two chat! Thanks for creating this kind of content and stay awesome (this was directed towards both of you, Max and Marc) Lastly, Marc‘s last name is pronounced a tiny bit different ;) but no one seems to get it right, except francophones :D
The folder in the back is a Zeiss Super Ikonta IV, which is an excellent 6x6 option if you want big negatives on the go! If you can find one with the bellows in good shape and a working selenium cell, I highly recommend it. Not the quickest camera to shoot, and a BIT of an antique at this point, but still good fun and very sharp at smaller apertures.
You can flip the aperture ring on the Olympus Pen lenses so that they display the traditional F-stop numbers at the top. You have to sort of half-disassemble the lens to do so, but you can. I did that on mine when I CLA'd it. They did those numbers on the ring to correspond to the numbers in the meter. It seems like they were trying to appeal to consumer camera buyers rather than professionals with that choice. It looks like his lens is a bit hazy. Mine is incredibly sharp and has much higher contrast.
Also, forgot to mention.. there is a version of the Konica III, the Konica IIIM which comes with a half frame mask which is an incredibly rare accessory to find. The IIIM also comes with a meter but finding a IIIM with a working meter is rare. The (razor sharp) lenses and the incredible 1:1 viewfinder are what make the IIIA/M. Just a bit of collector info for you and Marc. I recommend purchasing one from Jeffrey Guthrie from Japan Vintage Camera. I also recommend getting the EV system decoupled.
Ahhh the iiiA, my first camera when I returned to film photography exactly three years ago. I sold her for a profit, but truly an incredible machine. I would appreciate her more now than I did then, having since collected countless antique cameras. She stacks up.
Do you shoot B&W? do you have any experience in developing your own pictures? i heard kodak doesn't even make paper anymore! i used to spend a lot of time in the dark room back in the day.. glad you've found joy using these amazing SLR cameras
Just more proof that Art will Art. The photo of the sun setting on T**** all alone in the desert is a tad gratuitous in perspective on the order of size. Peace/JT
The Lomo is modelled after the Cosina CX-1. I had a CX-5 and it had a wonderful soft lens with beautiful colour rendition. Unfortunately I sold it. Later I bought a CX-7 but the lens wasn't as good.
Did not see this one coming. Love Marc and had no idea he was deep into film photography.
Go follow portrait God he is Marc photographer for his tour and his picture are really cool
@@lejusticieryes7377 …

Marc's passion for film cameras is infectious. I'm shocked that the man who brought us "I'm a Flamingo" has a Leica love affair. It's awesome!
So enjoyable, loved how every nuance of each camera was expressed.
Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. Really appreciate it.
My two favorite words collide. What a time to be alive!
Thank you, gentlemen. I sooo enjoyed this conversation. My analogue passion is now re-ignited !
Don’t care much about cameras but Marc is gracious and well spoken.
Wow. First time i see a calm marc.
Our love of film cameras is infectious, as demonstrated by Marc's contagious and joyful enthusiasm.

Awesome, this motivated me to pick up my Canonet for today. Marc is right, it's a great introduction to rangefinders.
What a great crossover! I saw Marc’s name and did a double take!
Greetings from Chicago. Great stuff guys. Cheers.
Marc is into some fascinating stuff. I learned some stuff and got pretty nostalgic being an 80s baby. Thank you for this video!
My recommendation for the Hasselblad: 60mm f3.5 and 100mm f3.5. Best of the best!
He could not get any cooler until now, love that dude!

Super Gespräch und eine beeindruckende Kamera Sammlung.❤
Blimey. Loop daddy is into his film cameras? Nice. I had the delight of seeing him live in London back in August 👍🏼
This is so cool!! I never expected to see Marc on the channel but here we are.
Yes, more asmr. I MEAN! I get really excited about new episodes of Analog Insight.

A new video, perfect for my afternoon coffee. Thanks a lot, you guys made my saturday, Max.
Greetings to all !
This is a duo i didn’t know I needed to see!
Marc and his tour photographer Shane really makes me want to go into photography. Marc really is such a multi talented guy
How Funny a couple of days bevor I saw a picture of Marc with 3 cameras hanging at his body.. and I was thinking..hey how cool!
..danke für das Video, hab ich sehr genossen, ich folge Marc schon lange und dachte erst, was lese ich hier, Marc Rebillet ?...cool..lg BM
A great conversation and Marc‘s Camera Collection is fantastic
Love Marc. Super cool video. Well done

Have to look up his music. What a nice guy.
Top notch content once again! thanks so much for this, I had absolutely no idea! Love both the channel and Marc´s music:)
This came out of nowhere. I just saw him in one TH-cam post with analog cameras around his neck. I didn't know he's an actual collector and enthusiast.
Loved this conversation so much. I didn't expect Marc to be a film camera fan. His enthusiasm is contagious. :-)
wtf?! 🤣 I put this in the queue to watch a few days ago and simply just thought it was some "other" Marc Ribillet. This is awesomely unexpected.
This is so awesome. What a talent.
So in regards to the 35mm viewfinder on the Leica Standard, my best guess is back in the day it wasn't unheard of for Leica to do custom work for some of their clients. So we can probably assume that whoever owned that it previously probably made a special request and sent the camera back to Leica and had them put a 35mm viewfinder on it for them.
That seems to be the consensus, yeah. I like having it as a native 35. A favorite focal length for me anyway. Thanks for sharing!
@@MarcRebillet Glad to help!!
I've noticed his Leica in his Instagram posts, this collabaration is amazing!
love love love 💗
So great ! Love it all the way. Thanks guys
As usual, a very interesting interview. Very much enjoyed this one. Its clear that Marc went “all in” on film as a hobby. Love his passion.
OK I know nothing about cameras nor I'm interested to know but my Gosh these guys are super cool and here I am enjoying this interview ☺️
This is great, thank you for sharing, see you soon
This was great. Thanks to both of you.
Been working for Kodak for quite a few years now it's so cool seeing tons of people starting to use film again. Heck we have been producing out the ass this year!
You're even hiring, I hear.
We need more. And different Films also.
Bring back Panatomic-X.Please.
Bring back Ektar 25, please.
Bring back 126 - there are millions of instamatics out there at thrift shops for $5/10 just waiting to be used again. Make it a 126 movement!!!
Wow, more than a great musician, he’s got a photographic eye!

Marc is absolutely right, the numbers are not EV numbers because of the interchangeable lenses and the f stop is not transmitted to the meter.
I just watched Mirror, and here is Marc wearing an Andrei Tarkovsky sweater.
i keep waiting for a loop … “yeah thats my pick. i love this thing. i love this thing. i love this thing. inlove thin…. un sst un sst un sst “
Marc has that "salesman voice", deep and velvety xD
Congratulations on interviewing a flamingo!
Like his passion for analog film cameras.
Maybe start another IG page with just your film images?

@Analog Insights can you recommend me some places in Munich where I can grab an affordable rangefinder camera for under 100€?
Sure, you could give Foto Presto and Foto Sauter a try.
Hainbach has a twin brother?? Subscribed!
Not my thing yet but here's a thumbs up anyhow
party on Marc
Nice video but I'd be more interested in seeing your camera collection Max. How about it?
I have a zorki-s (barnack clone), and, as I much as I love it, I've trashed more film loading the thing than I've gotten out the other end. Nightmare.
That pillow 😆
