Actually fooled me. I almost didn't watch this video because of the rage I was feeling. #RZgang
RZ 4 lyf
Only RZ.
Don't scare me like that man haha
These shots are dope. I started shooting film a while back and am so in love with the format. I decided to go all in and get myself a Pentax 6x7 off Ebay, and I'm really excited to see how well my images come out. Keep creating my guy, your art is amazing.
Thank you very much. Looking forward to more of your pictures using the Pentax 6x7.
Thank you!
GODDAMIT. You kinda make me buy my first analouge Cam 😍 love these shots , also nice Video and what a fitting soundtrack you put on !!
incredible shots. love the B&W ones
thank you my dude
I'm truly impressed. I myself prefer b/w but the color shots are gorgeous as well. Congrats!
You not mentioning how you shot SlowThai. legendary
great vid :)
😎
Those shots out of the pentax were so crisp, defiantly want to see more in the future!
thank you bud!
those studio shots are so good
Thanks Lewis!
secret lens to own for the p67 is the 135mm macro. You can get headshots close to the way the rz can. Unbelievable affordable, like 50 bucks maybe? Worth a shot.
you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention
Don't know about a 135mm for $50, but it definitely is one of the least expensive lenses for the P67 system. With its close focus capacity, light weight, and a relative focal length of about 70mm in 35mm format terms, it is the perfect "walking around" lens. Here in the "West", we have a lot of abandoned homesteads out on the high deserts. I like to shoot them with emphasis on small details, like weathered wood, broken windows, rusty latches and such. The 135mm is my "go to" lens for these efforts, either hand-held or with a monopod.
Love this format, such a chilled vibe. Would love to hear more about the Slowthai shoot?
I've had a few requests for this. Will deffo look into if people want to hear more.
@@radicaleyemag yes, please
Good job!
Ayyee first! Pentax 67 buddies!
Great video my man.
Cheers Jammi
This title is so radical it made me feel betrayed before I watched the video lol
wanna keep you guys guessing
i almost cried
nice vid flynn
Happy tears I hope
@@radicaleyemag happy the RZ is still in the bag! this channel inspired me to buy one and while I'm still learning how to use it, I really love it
the man is back! great video guys, I just sold my Pentax 67 for the RZ :D
There's nothing like shooting with an RZ, so probably worth it for the experience alone!
@@radicaleyemag I totally agree, it's magical :)
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
When you hear this type of music on a photography video you know it’s going to be a good one lol
I have both the Mamiya RZ67ii & the Pentax 67, both are superb tools, i know the Pentax is the 120 camera that everyone wants and drools over but if I'm really honest with myself i think that i actually enjoy the Mamiya even more than the Pentax !
Both offer lots of quality image wise but there's something about composing in the large waist level viewfinder of the Mamiya that is so satisfying ( I also adore the Mamiya 110mm & 65mm L-A lens), i must try to get a waist level finder for my Pentax but they do seem to be very hard to find now !
Great video.
That lighting setup 7 mins onwards, amazing effect! Was it just the aputure spot with a red gel or a key light as well? 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I have used the Pentax 67 for decades, mainly doing outdoor and landscape work. Relatively speaking, it is much easier to move around with than the RZ. However the Pentax presents serious limitations where flash lighting is required. The slow speed limit for flash sych makes balancing daylight and flash nearly impossible. Pentax has a leaf shutter lens for such needs, but it is a slow working hassle to use - not practical for a large quantity of work.
Thanks for the insight Randall! I think I'll be sticking with the RZ for more studio type work!
Pentax 6x7 FTW! My fav camera ever.
Sublime!!!
lucky you, little symz and slowthai are awesome artists!
they are indeed!
I knew it! Btw i’ve been sad for the first 20 seconds. I tried once the Pentax but i still love my Mamiya :)
😎
It feels cooler shooting with RZ but my stiff neck is giving me some problem lately. I enjoy shooting with Pentax67 more for now.
love it. I have always wondered why it's tough to find people shooting such stuff with a hasselblad?
Thank you! I've got no experience with a Hasselblad, but it might be a lens thing... also the 67 format gives you a bigger neg.
it's more expensive for some people i guess.
RZ is the last camera I sell and the p6x7 is second to last. If you got the MLU version put a piece of tape over that switch. Especially with that grip. And great video of course
Thanks Scott, I think I've already run into the problem you're hinting at... The lock up kicked in and had to use the reset button to get it back down (shutter wasn't firing)
Noic
I don’t know why i feel like you about to rap a hot 16 Bars about medium format cameras the way ur holding the mic
getting in the zone
The grip looks like the one I 3D printed for my camera, it's really good. Can be found on thingiverse.
好喜欢你的Video！！！
nice work grat camera
I keep coming back to this vid for the somewhat more clinical look of that 90mm compared to the 105mm, incredible shots!
I keep vacillating on buying a Pentax 67. On the one hand, I currently have way more cameras than I have the time to shoot. On the other hand, whether it's cars, cameras, watches, or whatever, each category has an item that is so solid, so legendary, and in such demand that it is difficult to find one (in good mechanical and cosmetic condition). Whenever I've been in the mood to buy one, I can't find a Pentax 67 (not the 6x7) that is in good cosmetic and mechanical condition.
The Pentax 67 is just that good.
I was in Japan recently and was looking in the camera shops to see what I could find. 67's were nowhere to be seen! I did find quite a lot of Mamiya 6s and 7s though. Clearly very popular at the moment!
@@radicaleyemag I had a Mamiya RB67, however, for my type of shooting the RB67 is just too slow and cumbersome. I like the Mamiya 6 however, it's a dead system AND it's a little plasticky and long in the tooth to mess with a camera that has bellows.
Great work again guys. We’re you tempted to push the portra 400 up to 800 to counter the low light?
Thanks TD! Do you mean shoot 400 at 800, or switch to portra 800 instead? I was over exposing those shots at around 320 I think, in reality I knew the lowest aperture wasn't going to be enough, and I had the shutter at 1/60... London, why you be like dis?
I meant exposing the portra 400 as if it was portra 800 and then getting the lab to push the film One stop in post :)
@@tomdivasion7724 got ya, yeah I didn't want to alter the first roll too much tbh (as it was a bit of an experiment). Will do next time this situation comes up for sure though!
Did you show your shots at box speed or rate them differently in this shoot?
My god man.. these shots are fire. 🔥
This vid kind of convinced my to get the pentax 67 over the mamiya, as i want be able to drag my camera everywhere i go.
I was just wondering, was there a lot of post processing involved with the final images, or are these just scans with some basic adjustments?
thank you! not a huge amount of post, but have a specific style that i like to aim for, so not what you would see straight out of cam
@@radicaleyemag thanks for your reply, that helps me out a bunch.
Can’t wait to get started. I’m Still shooting an ME super at the moment. With mainly portra 800.
Loved the video. You've definitely convinced me of some of the differences/advantages of the 67 over the RB/RZ system. I really enjoyed your detailed explanation of the photographic experience of shooting with this camera. I would love to see more in-depth explorations like this in other review type videos from all creators. All that being said, the cheap clickbait was disappointing. Clickbait that bad keeps this platform from reaching its full potential and brings down the youtube community as a whole. I think the video could've been fully successful without it.
Did you do any type of editing with the photos? They look absolutely stunning, really the kind of photos that’ll make people think if they bought that camera those are the type of photos they’d get right off the bat 👌👌👌
Yeah, I did. I have a standard-ish process I use, but it's mainly a levels and curve tweak. Nothing too crazy.
Radical Eye Magazine that’s cool man thanks for sharing 👌
I'm sure everybody has told you this already but get the 105 f2.4 lens if you haven't already. It's worth the hype :-)
What made you choose the Pentax 67 as opposed to a Mamiya 67 or a Fuji 67?
How do you like the 6x7cm aspect ratio compared to the 6x4.5 ratio?
The biggest downside to the Pentax 67 series is the extremely low sync speed of 1/30 (unless you use specific lenses with an internal leaf shutter). It can be quite limiting.
I'll probably go for the 67 when I use strobes I think!
The lack of portability for Mamiya makes up for itself with the lenses being super sharp. I think shooting in portrait with the Pentax is going to cause more lactic acid build-up.
great vid! what b&w film stock did u used for the indoor shots, XP2 Super or HP5 Plus? What developer?
black and white was XP2, and I use a lab called Analogue Films in London for development.
bruhhhhh there's this pentax 67 and a 135 macro sitting on my local classified and i've been hesitating all these videos are convincing me to pull the trigger tho 😥
You have a red overhead light? I like the use of it. Adds some warmth.
it was a gel i added to my light. Just wanted to have a play around.
Radical Eye Magazine well it’s a good idea.
Where can I get a medium format in the UK? Thanks!
I'm looking to buy my first medium format solely for taking portraits and I'm deciding between the mamiya rz67 (not the second one) and the Pentax 67, I've gone for the mamiya simply for the price but would anyone actually recommend the Pentax 67 over it? any opinion is greatly appreciated.
RZ is a solid choice. It was my first medium format camera, and I don't regret it at all.
How (big) would you describe the difference between 67 and 645 Medium Format? (Not in terms of resolution, but depth of field, "MF Look"?
67 starting to look good to me...
This video is amazing, did you picked up the camera in Japan or in Europe ? 💫
Europe. I was in Japan recently and couldn't find many there at all...
what light did u use?
aputure 120d
Nice b8 m8
ahahah bro you almost fooled me 😂😂
Did you push the film when you underexposed it?
I didn't push during dev on these, as I was hoping they might come out fine. I actually just took one reading at the start and shot normally. The first roll was more of an experiment, and I didn't want to alter anything. (I initially wrote off the first roll, but decided to include it for reference).
@@radicaleyemag Turned out great regardless.
leaf shutter hmm? unlimited sync speed and no shutter shock?
It would be AMAZING if you actually mentioned the only main design difference between the two.
Dont you find the focusing screen a bit dark?
a little perhaps, but wasn't something I noticed too much.
Ahhhh eventually everyone gets a pentax67.
Came here for a slowthai
did you leave satisfied?
Is there a meter in the viewfinder?
there is, but i haven't used it yet. Not sure if i trust it!
I wanted to watch the whole video but the un- quantized drum track is distracting., Peace
P E A C E
wait..is that little simz? tell her I can't listening to anything else atm 😁
I'll let her know
clickbait = unsubscribed. bye
bye
