'I'm 56..... and started taking photos at 11. Nick's concern about 'losing interest' in taking photos' will NEVER happen. After discovering your channel I have fallen in love with my photography all over again...... after 45 years!!
It is so refreshing to listen to an interview where the interviewer actually allows the subject to be the star of the show! I have followed both of you for years and love that you have come together here.
Another winner, Max, especially for those of us who follow Nick Carver and hold him in high esteem. A good mix of camera porn combined with a side of Nick we rarely see. This is an inspirational analog community and sharing moments such as this reinforces the quality of the feed. Keep ‘em coming, Max, as this is for sure, a winning formula.
I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one that is not inspired to take pictures of everyday life- I can't even barely be bothered to look at my iPhone pics when I take them. I'm exactly the same way- I don't shoot a lot of images and sometimes there is a week or two that will pass between images taken. I generally have to go and intentionally hunt and shoot or setup some objects or scenes that inspire me to click the shutter and burn an image into emulsion. Great interview
I am OLD and follow both of these youngsters with admiration. My rubber covering also fell apart on my RZ. Replaced it with stick on neoprene foam from sheet stock.
I love Nick’s work. He has given me inspiration for a number of projects. I have his metering course which I love. He has made the photography of everyday working buildings into fine art. You do great interviews because you allow the interviewer to talk instead of leading him
Nick's channel is the bottle of good Scotch in my subscriptions. You don't break open the good stuff every day. When one of his videos (especially a long one) comes out, it goes straight to the to-watch list, and I'll crack it at an appropriate moment to enjoy. Thanks for picking Nick's brain!
I bought the RZ-67 from Calumet Camera USA when the Pro II model was introduced and used the camera indoors on a tripod with flash. Despite Mr. Carver's comment on the camera weight, I never thought it is especially heavy as I was able to hand hold it for outdoor use with the 50mm lens. Nice hearing someone else's experience with various camera equipment.
Thanks to you both for a really interesting chat. Your videos and Nick's are always about something, they always tell a tale - so much of YTube is rambling repetitive "content" or clickbait lists of things you should/shouldn't do to make your photography better/brilliant/rubbish - just stuff devised to fill out the time, hit the alogorithm etc. You guys only seem to put out videos when you have something to say, which is wonderfully refreshing.Thanks again.
That's exactly how I restored the curve in the filter rings in two of my lenses! Worked really well. Great talk. You are such a good listener Max. Cheers!
I like nick.carver channel because I enjoy pano pictures and films. I appreciate this conversation. A great moment. One thing About fuji 645af... the ga 645 Af with 60mm lens makes Very sharp pictures
What a great interview. I love Nick's photographs and learning about his process. I always look forward to a new posting. I love his approach to his videos. Another compelling aspect is Nick's authenticity. He's focused. He's real. And he's not afraid to be open about his struggles and challenges. His approach is not focused on the gear and technology, more about the evolution of a photographer. Taken together his videos are a master class.
It was interesting to hear Nick talk about his experience with the Mamiya 6 and the Mamiya C220. I had the latter, but never really liked it, so I sold it and used those proceeds towards buying Mamiya 6. Everybody has different taste and approaches, and it’s nice to have a variety of tools available to fill those niches.
Enjoyed the video very much. I have followed Nick for years and have watched some of his videos several times (like yours). His videos featuring his 617 camera lured me into getting one myself.
Great interview. I'm a BIG fan of Nick's, and I can attest to his classes for metering and the new LF camera usage are great!! I first discovered him on the "Liquor Store" video series too....and not long after I ended up finding and buying the same Shen Hao 6x17 camera he was using and now I'm on my own adventures with it. This and his channel are a couple of my most watched, along with grainydays, Analog Resurgence, and Bad Flashes....good stuff!!
Well just another brilliant video guys! I really like this theme of discussing why different photographers choose the equipment they do. I’ve been a recent subscriber to Nick’s channel, and am always learning something new. So many topics Analog Insights have to cover. Perfect!!
I've taken up photography, I'm a rube, novice, whatever you wanna call it. But I follow Nick because we share the same philosophy about film photography.
Nick seems like a really humble guy that takes this conversations (and opportunities to share with fellow photographers) seriously and is really respectful with the guest's time (he's a little goofy in his own videos hehe). Love both channels dedication and content quality.
Nick's Fuji 645 video about his trip to Paris was fabulous. Some of the best photos and travel stories, I suggest folks look it up. PS to Nick - IMO the best handheld film camera ever made, regardless of negative size, was the Mamiya 7II. I had that camera and all lenses and shot at least 1000 rolls of film over the years before switching to digital. I shot mostly B&W and did my own processing, but I also shot some professionally processed color transparencies. The Mamiya 7 is a rangefinder camera and I get what you say about precision framing. That wasn't an issue for me, in part because I would often forget the framing I was looking for by the time I developed the film (even if it was 2 hours later) and I am much more of a street-shooter rather than landscape. Love your videos and I expect hope to add the ShenHao 617 to my armamentarium sometime in the next 12 months. All the best.
This must be the best thing that happened to photography related TH-cam! Been waiting for some dialogue-podcast form with nick after he did analog talks podcast.
I'm NOT an analog guy, yet I'll watch every Nick Carver video he puts out. I've even had some personal dialog with him and he IS his on-camera persona. Great interview with him and who knows - maybe some day I WILL jump into medium format film - now your channel will contribute as well! Cheers.
Huh? the video has finished, and now it's dark outside... Didn't notice 45 minutes had passed until I looked at the clock.😅 Thank you both for this video! I really enjoyed it as always. And I hope to see more of this format
Fantastic production, very engaging. I love both your channels. I'll never forget my wife entered the man cave and I had Nick casted on the big screen. She said, "who's that"? I told her and out of nowhere she said, " I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers". Keep up the great work guys.
I hadn’t heard of Nick Carver before, so thanks for sharing this. I got interested in medium and large format film cameras during covid and similarly to Nick, it was to try and become a certain type of photographer. I love Nick’s honest/self deprecatory insights into his motivations. It resonated immediately and gave me some personal insights, although my path is not the same. I always enjoy photographers who are able to talk about more than their gear or their approach to subject matter. Not that I’m disinterested, it just doesn’t have quite the same level of interest for me. I’m always curious about gear and the different ways photographers engage with their subjects, be it run and gun, or a more intimate and meticulous approach but it’s always a treat when they are able to share what they have learned about themselves as photographers on their personal journey.
I switched back to film in 2010 with a Pentax 67 with a 55mm f4 lens. Mirror up and a metered prism. I use a 4x5 now and am interested in getting a wide film back for it using the 135mm Schneider lens
happened the same to my RZ67 that the leatherette/skin cracked and peeled apart.. i always thought i am the only unlucky one, but apparently I'm not...
really nice interview conversations - hope you get to do more with other photographers in the future definitely came to love panoramas even more thanks to Nick , and very much respect his dedicated process to get the image just right
I own a Fuji digital zoom, before that I owned a cheap Fuji film camera and both have v. sharp lenses. U heard the photographer say his Fuji has the sharpest lens he owns. Today's Fuji's r up there with the best of the 'best.'
Hi Max . Great content again. I’ve only just found Nick and like his attitude and attention to detail fascinating. I started feeling the same way with regard to just shooting minimally . I’ve been shooting and collecting cameras for a long time and I have always loved street shooting but found it depressing to get back poor images . So I stopped snapping and started only shooting what really exited me . Anyway it’s alway great to watch something that reignites that spark for me so keep it up 🙏
Very interesting to listen to Nick Carver. I have followed his channel for many years, and a big inspiration for me too. I like those difficult light situations early in the mornings or late evenings. I had a full case with the Mamiya 67 RZ with most of the stuff, but it was very heavy, so I switched to a Mamiya 6 MF and now I also have the Mamiya 7 with, among other things, the 43 mm lens. Now I'm looking for a Voigtländer Perkeo, which you mentioned and showed on your channel. Maybe I'll sell both Mamiya cameras to afford a Fuji GFX 100S. I also haveI a somewhat special 4x5 camera, a Carbon Infinity. It can do absolutely everything, i.e. both field and studio, but even though it sounds like it is light and handy with carbon and titanium as construction material, it is somewhat heavy for field use. I might replace it with something lighter and more handy for field use. That's what I use it for. I don't need 47 mm nor 600 mm in a 4x5. Rather dreaming of a 150 mm 2.8, but they cost the same, or more than the camera I have.
This year I have been a working photographer for fifty years. In 1989 I was on a location shoot and the lens jammed on my Hasselblad. The next week I dumped all my Hasselblad gear and bought a complete RZ system with all the lenses. That RZ camera body shot literally tens of thousands of images both in studio and location. In around 2005 the body died and I replaced it with a mint used body for $250. All that gear is still in my camera lockers and I have been struggling with listing it all on eBay.
interesting dialog about printing toward the end. Adams printed so many of his images over and over again but each was unique because chemistry changes over time, i think carver is onto something about going back to the darkroom.
@@AnalogInsights welcome mate 📷❤️ glad Nick gave my channel a shout out too all that hey guys look what I’ve done 👀😂😂😂 I need to change my approach and fast

And now we watched a 46 minute video that just flew by because of how engaging and interesting it was.
You're both fantastic.
Nick Carver is someone I have followed for years. Never seen a video like „the liqueur store“. Great collab - thanks!
I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one that is not inspired to take pictures of everyday life- I can't even barely be bothered to look at my iPhone pics when I take them. I'm exactly the same way- I don't shoot a lot of images and sometimes there is a week or two that will pass between images taken.

The ultimate crossover I never expected, awesome!
A great video with a skilled interviewer, who knows when to ask questions and when to listen. Two of my favourite channels combined.
Agreed! The interviewer allows the subject to come forth and share without interruptions, and he doesn't need to be the star of the show.
I am OLD and follow both of these youngsters with admiration. My rubber covering also fell apart on my RZ. Replaced it with stick on neoprene foam from sheet stock.

This was another very well done and enjoyable video. Thank you again. RS. Canada
Mr. Heinrich, I greatly enjoy your many presentations. I have been an analog photographer for over fifty years! One never stops learning.
Very nice video with Nick Carver. I have been a fan of Nick's TH-cam channel for a while, as well as yours. Good job! Best regards, Steve (New York)
nick carver is 0% nonsense. 100% wisdom.
I bought the RZ-67 from Calumet Camera USA when the Pro II model was introduced and used the camera indoors on a tripod with flash.

I have learned so much in Nick's course of light metering. Thank you Nick. and thank thank you Analog Insights.
Nick's dry sense of humor makes me watch the full 40 minutes too 😂

Yeh, yeh and yeh! Outstanding interview Max. Nick Carver is the penultimate landscape photographer bar none!
That's exactly how I restored the curve in the filter rings in two of my lenses! Worked really well.
Great talk. You are such a good listener Max.
Cheers!
This was fun. It’s popular to say the camera doesn’t matter. That ignores that they’re just fun; anyone should enjoy having good tools.
Great Max. What an amazing and humble guy!!
Keep up your very good videos, they are always very interesting
Thank you for introducing me to Nick Carver, it was an excellent talk and interview. Many thanks for sharing.
This was awesome. Love Nick, and you did a great job with the interview!

His perspective is so refreshing to hear. I am also an anti-documentary photographer haha so very glad to hear I’m not alone

As meticulous as Mr Carver is he'd be great in the darkroom! This was interesting. Much respect for Nick. He deserves many more followers!
Great Stuff! Nick Carter is a real inspiration!
Great content, Thank you 👍👍👍👍

Fugica 645's are amazing, sadly them breaking or in my case the focus ring falling off is not so amazing
You can work fast with a 6x6 twin lens reflex :-)
645 format has the same aspect ratio as the old CRT tslevisions.
Outstanding interview great team effort cheers
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
