Correction: 120 film isn’t actually 120mm, it’s just called 120 and with the 6x6 film back you will get 12 exposures per roll not 16 like I said in the video. Sorry for the confusion!
Actually, the 6x6 is 6x6cm. 6cm=60mm. 60+60=120 tada. 6x7 film back gives 10 exposures per 120 roll, 6x6 backs or cameras get 12 exposures, 6x4.5 vertical backs give 16 exposures. Oh, and for the record, medium format has LESS depth of field than comparable 35mm cameras. The larger the format, the less the apparent depth of field.
The first person not to complain "the rz is heavy" then proceed to take it outside and stroll around with it like its nothing! Oh and shoot some amazing photos! Subbed!
This was so nicely done! Loved the camera tour at the start and the eye level viewfinder add on edit - also that Windows XP fact drop. Great first video!
Really beautiful work Nick - lovely airy colours there! I've been loving my lightweight Mamiya 7 but you cant beat the close focus and shall depth of field of these bigger cameras
Hey Nick, Really Awesome video. 🌺 For future video suggestion, can you please tell us how you colour grade the muted look on Sam's channel & also camera gear 💙 #keepcreating 🌠
Between the revolving back and the dark slide the RB/RZ variants are not ideal for hand held work. The reversed image/ waist level finder is counter-productive for me. At 5'9", competitive girls are my height or taller and all the competitive guys are taller so shooting waist level at standing subjects every image will essentially be 'up the nose' to some degree and that does not play.
Question! What do you use for scanning? D’you get them done at a lab or do you scan yourself? Flatbed? Drum scan? Loved the video, look forward to more from you!
It's not that you'll get more depth of field comparing to full frame, cropped, or micro 4/3rd, but you'll definitely have a bigger image canvas Shooting lower *F/stops doesnt give you more details lol it all depends on the *Latitude of the film stock Also, why did you touch a car you didnt own.
I see nothing, what cannot be done with 35 mm film. In the contrary. The shots feel unnatural. The focal length is not ideal. Shooting is slow and the models have to wait an wait and wait. But I can't help it and I have it seen so often. The 35mm Film portraits looks mostly better than the medium format shots. Many photographers have the inner urge to shoot larger film formats. Why? I don't know. If you compare the results, the larger format does't deliver in most cases. A good 35mm camera and prime lenses with f1,4 to f2 brings better results to look at. The 35mm camera are easier to handle, faster and superior in shutter speed, faster lenses, better lenses and there are way more choices in focal length. And the bokeh is more pleasing. And the truth is. Medium or even large format doesn't make you a better photographer. In the contrary. But most likely arrogant. In term of cars. I have the Ferrari, a US muscle car, the Rolls Royce, the Bentley. But every one knows. These cars are not the best to use. Only for show-offs. Don't get me wrong. You have made very nice portaits, well done! But medium and even more large format is overrated. Not in terms of sharpness but in terms of the overall look, authenticity and in most cases not optimal focal length for the subject. They are very heavy too. Very bad and unhealthy for your cervical spine.
Very confident that nobody has done a better job of A) describing the camera and format, B) showing it in action, and C) displaying actual results than you did right there. Absolutely first rate video.
Great information! I had a question about rating your film one stop below box speed. Are you saying if I’m using portra 400 I should set my seconic light meter to 200 iso to retain a stronger shadow area
Really liked you video. I just purchased an RZ67 Pro II. I noticed in your intro montage that you film back was a 220. I assume you shoot 120 as 220 is no longer made. So how well does that work? I have been told by several people shooting 120 in a 220 back won't work well, even though the film itself is the same. The 220 does not have the paper backing on the whole roll, just a bit on each end. Looking forward to seeing more of your photography.
Great Great Video ! Really Laid back , easy on the eyes and ears ..... excellent pics ! ...... a tiny request to please add the EXIF data so we can learn from your art too .... take care ! Thanks again !
Such a great vid! Subbed immediately :) Some corrections, though - with the 6x6 film back you get 12 shots, not 16. And the depth of field does not depend on anything else than the lens. The 90mm f3.5 lens has the exact same depth of field no matter whether you shoot it on 6x7 or micro 4/3 :) The other film backs give you different aspect ratios and a more cropped in image.
I'm pretty sure with the RZ67's 6x6 back you still only get 10 exposures, because of the wind on spacing. I had the square back and it was irritating to not be using the roll as efficiently as it could be.
Marshall Marshall thanks for checking out the video 🤙🏻. Indeed I do. All depends on what you want to use the camera for. I mainly shoot portraits on the RZ because it’s a bit easier to focus. I use the Pentax for travel, landscape, and portraits as well. Both are all around great cameras. Despite the Pentax being a heavy big camera I don’t mind traveling with it, and it is a little easier to throw in a backpack/bag vs. the RZ. You can’t really go wrong with either camera.
One of the best videos on the Mamiya RZ67
Thanks!
woah dude, this channel’ll blow up soon
Beautiful model and portraits 😘😘😘
This was really great, man!
Matt Day thanks Matt, love your videos 🤙🏻

came to say this.
@@lenzielenski3276 this looks like a Half-Life 3 confirmed meme
Herb Ritts and Annie Leibovitz made this camera popular in the 90’s
OK NICKY! Production is dope, can't wait to see this channel blow up.
Thanks man!

Arthur B that means a lot, thanks man!
I’ve been getting the medium format itch lately and your video is definitely making me want to start looking!
Gab-E you should 🙂 it’s a blast
Nice Sound Design!!!!😍
Great, very informative video Nick. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Dope video, the shadow / highlight detail for film and digital was helpful for me.
Happy you got something out of it !
keep it going plz
It's been 6 months! Where are you?
It would had been great if you'd mention what aperture and shutter speed you used for each image.
No suggestion BUT this was a great video! Keep making more
I appreciate the kind words, thanks!
Great job.
nailed this my dude!
How does a 6x7 negatives gives more depth of field?
Naw man, DOF depends on f-stop, not negative size. The 6x7 negative just gives you a shit ton more to work with.
More depth of field or more shallow depth of field ?
unreal editing, like button smashed.Would be a sweet video to see what other film cameras you use or like shooting with and why.
Request processing. Thanks mah dude!
great video man!!
I stopped by for the photo work, which was great by the way. But I must add I love your voice. You should definitely try some voice work.
Wow so good Nick, make more film related vids 👌🏽
David Tadros absolutely! Working on a street photography vid with the Leica M6. Thanks!
Hey Nick,
Really Awesome video. 🌺
For future video suggestion, can you please tell us how you colour grade the muted look on Sam's channel & also camera gear 💙
#keepcreating 🌠
It’s 120 (film id just like 135 for 35mm film) not 120mm
amazing!!!
@4:30 I just learned something new ahah Love the video man keep it coming!
TwoATraay happy to hear you got something out of it, more on the way!
yeah, nick! let's dia-beat this!
Mango Street haha 😂
Freaking dope intro! New subscriber!!
Thanks!
Where new video ?

This is dope!!!!!
Franklin thanks!
Good work. May I ask: Did you use Portra 100 or 400?
Christoph Sauer thanks! It was a mix of Portra 400 and 800
What focus screen are you using on the camera? I'm having such difficulty with the RB67 with sharp focus.
SICK EDITING NEW SUB HERE! would love to see more vids from u 😁
Thanks! More coming 🙂
Question! What do you use for scanning? D’you get them done at a lab or do you scan yourself? Flatbed? Drum scan? Loved the video, look forward to more from you!
Thanks so much! I self develop and scan from home using an epson v850 pro flatbed scanner with lomography digitaliza film holders
@@NickSpruck What are "lomography digitaliza film holders" and how are they better than the film holders that come with the Epson scanner?
BRO... amazing video. Shots and editing were on point. 6:34 was my favorite. Subbed! Check out some of my recent work with the RZ on my channel!
Thanks so much man! Put a lot of work into it. I'll be sure to check out yours as well and thanks for the sub!
subbbbbed
Benj Haisch thanks for the support!
nice vdeo Nick! what lens do you use for portrait?
Peng Chen thanks! I have the 90mm f3.5, great lens!
@@NickSpruck The 90mm is a great lens. However, for head & shoulder portraits, you should try the 150mm soft focus or the 180mm.
Dude.. 6 by 6 you will get 12 shots !
Yoooooo,
It's not that you'll get more depth of field comparing to full frame, cropped, or micro 4/3rd, but you'll definitely have a bigger image canvas

This is great...By the way,Which brand and model is the light meter U use on the video?
Thanks! It’s a sekonic L578
Beautiful photos, where do you get them processed and scanned?
Thanks! Processed and scanned myself.
@@NickSpruck nice, spot on for the colors!
Dude this video is gorgeous. I can’t wait for more!

Amazing video man, seems to be going well off of just one video ! :)
Great video dude!
Thanks a lot!
just got my rz67 with 180 and 65mm, you shooting is awesome, I hope I can get some thing similar
Beautiful video. Very in-depth and well explained. You have ear to your self a subscriber. Best of luck with your channel

Nice editing. Did you use some motorized rig for the intro overview?
Saw you on insta...Do you Still shoot Pentax67? Which would you recommend?
Marshall Marshall thanks for checking out the video 🤙🏻. Indeed I do. All depends on what you want to use the camera for. I mainly shoot portraits on the RZ because it’s a bit easier to focus.
