Just bought a Mamiya 645 1000s and found this really helpful. Best of all I can keep coming back to it. Regards Paul.

[@threeminutepro]

You’re welcome. Thank you 😀

[@badbunnyTUBE]

So exited. Getting my own 645 1000 next week. I have a two week trip coming right after it and i have a project i want to create with it. This was by far the simplest and best "to the point" instruction video so far. 👍 & Sub. Thank you.

[@threeminutepro]

You’re very welcome. Glad it was useful 😀

I’ve been shooting film for years and I still have, love and regularly use my Mamiya 645 1000s. That 80mm 2.8 “kit” lens is as brilliant as any lens on that camera IMO. Great job pointing out the waist level finder limiting use to landscape oriented photos!🙏🏼

[@threeminutepro]

I love the waist level finder, though! Happy to shoot landscape portraits with it. 😀

[@58phaser]

Perfect! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. 👍

[@threeminutepro]

Thank you 😀

[@MacchiDola]

Thanks for the video! I've been looking for a simple and short demonstration on how it works

[@threeminutepro]

You’re very welcome! 😀

[@ferTJP13]

I was looking for a video just like this! Thanks a lot!!

[@threeminutepro]

You’re welcome!

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

Excellent video !

[@threeminutepro]

Thank you 😀

[@user-kx7bd7jn2y]

It was so useful, man! Thanks sm!

[@threeminutepro]

Thank you :-)

[@halloeriksson]

For the love of god a video that's not 20 minutes long

[@threeminutepro]

Yeah, I get bored with watching B roll scenes when I just need information. Glad you like it.

[@dennyrulos7370]

You want to use a complicated camera, the videos will probably be complicated.

[@DanC]

@@dennyrulos7370 sure but aren't you glad there's not b roll of someone pulling the camera out of a drawer, inspecting their film, brewing a cup of coffee, grabbing their keys, walking out the door, getting in the car, driving somewhere, getting out of the car, murdering someone, getting out the camera, and sitting at a park bench to talk about it?

[@gregwaugh8069]

I might buy a 645. Got a feeling I am going to love the result.

[@threeminutepro]

It’s a fantastic camera. You won’t be disappointed 😀

[@Flippy2good]

Thank you!!

[@threeminutepro]

Welcome 😀

[@endyvivar9251]

On the prism viewfinder you can adjust the ISO. But how do you do that when using the waistlevel viewfinder?

[@threeminutepro]

There’s no metering on the waist level viewfinder, so no need for ISO settings 😀

[@johnjewell219]

Hi do any of the rb67 lenses work with this camera ?and can it use a digital back?thanks
John😎

[@threeminutepro]

The back is not interchangeable on the M645 1000S.
You can’t use the rb67 lenses with the m645. This link has a lot of info: reddit.com/r/Mamiya/s/M5WxnKmbnN

I also noticed that when there is no film in the camera, the advance crank lever and the shutter buttons do not work. Also, no big deal, as the do work with film is in the camera, but still makes wonder.

[@threeminutepro]

You can make it work by selecting multiple exposure

[@BillMaryon]

Can you change the viewfinder with film loaded?

[@threeminutepro]

Absolutely! I’m always switching them over 😀

[@jeremyharris8796]

I tried using the prism to set the shutter speed, but when I put the actual shutter speed dial on the red dot, and took a photo, it seemed as if the mirror was locked up. I could not advance the film.

[@threeminutepro]

I’m not sure. I’ve never had this. Could it be a battery issue?

[@jeremyharris8796]

@@threeminutepro brand new batteries. Everything else works fine. Just tried it again, and sure enough, the mirror locks up and I cannot advance the film until I take it off the red dot which closes the mirror. No big deal, but still a ??

[@BrandonBurk]

1:08 i cant get this to work

[@threeminutepro]

Very fiddly, I admit.
Turn.
Then push in.

[@BrandonBurk]

@@threeminutepro Finally after 40 minutes I got it. I used needle nose pliers and really pushed down and in at different directions on the viewfinder.

[@Dehancer]

Hi! We produce film emulation plug-in and we'd like to offer you a collab. Would you be interested?

[@threeminutepro]

Yes, I’d like to find out more about this!

@@threeminutepro email sent! :)

[@yesanton]

not a good designed camera

[@threeminutepro]

Depends what you like 🤔

[@yesanton]

@@threeminutepro to me I considered to buy this camera but it looks like a cheap version of Pentax. Doesn't scream quality from what I saw in the video
