Wouldn’t it be tighter than 45mm on a GFX since the sensor is smaller?

Hi , I am surprised by the poor sharpness of it wide opened… as it s considered to be a good lens. Is it so difficult to focus with Manuel lenses on gfx ? You don t have the same tool as with the full frame mirrorless ? Then another question because this camera interests me a lot, I see a lot of comments saying this lens or this lens -normally made for full frame « works well » so .i understand with no vignetting on the GFx. Is there a list of all the lenses that enter into this category ?

Looks like a great vintage lens! Btw, have you tried the Pentax SMC 105mm f2.4?

Hi Josh this is your best video. So much great shots in it. Will be a great book. Keep it pure ! Best to you

Hey man, I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on how this lens performs on distant subjects / infinity. I just picked up a 50R and I have my eyes on this lens. Cheers!

Love you ideias and photos, gonna try then! Thank you for you video! I notice some puffs in you mic, when you say p's and b's, it helps to put a windscreen or a sock on the mic that you are recording its really useful, hope it helps!

Is this a passion project channel or part of some school assignment?

How do you decide how big to make a photo/the white borders?

Something funny about the David guy being who you don't like

Nice work! Subscribed. The image you're editing (woman in green dress) -- may lens on your GFX ? The 80? Thx

Excellent video, gorgeous photos, and a very honest message - always keep learning and you will never be bored. Shout out to the YT algo for putting your vid in my feed. 2 years ago, I went to Tokyo and had an incredible time shooting. I made a photobook and left feeling in love with photography. 2023, I was injured and had 2 surgeries for different issues. 2024, I was burnt out working an intense job. Now, heading into autumn, I got an X100VI because i felt like the camera I want on my hip. Portable yet fully capable. It's only been a week but I'm really excited to carry my camera everywhere I go and just shoot to my heart's content!

Hey @joshshanksphoto just wondering how you like the Mamiya 80mm compared to the Mitakon? I like my Mamiya (altough the MF focus is annoying as you say), but I do wonder about the green color cast on my Mamiya and was considering getting the Mitakon instead.

What adopter do you guys like? What’s the focal length it becomes on gfx?

Hi Josh! Is it possible to switch from auto to manual using this lens? Thanks

Really amazing work man! Very inspiring

Holy shit!!! those were some great photos and cinegraphs and love the video too, when I say great - I really mean it, I am really really inspired by most of em... and thanks for the message... ads on to 'create more than you consume, create more to you critique'. also have not heard that take on celebrating the collective's decline in interest... but I 100% agree.

Bro, what kind of photography trance......... subscribed

Why did the initial audio sounded like kid moist critical

A great lens that has never let me down.

Love your style dude

are these straight jpeg or did u edit on top of any?

I am kinda curious which Mamiya lenses did you take/use/prefer and why.

This is Passion.

I got this combo about a month ago. New into photography.

This was a great video dude. I'm going through something similar. I started making music 5 years ago, and as my love grew, I wanted to make it into a career. In the process of trying to make that happen, I get so absorbed in what people love, what they hate; slowly letting that work its way into my writing. Every note I feel scared that it's not enough for the people that I think I'm writing it for. It's so insanely shallow. To create something in this world dedicated to people that I don't know. I just want to write, no fear of external judgment. Anybody can tailor something for someone else, but the personality of the one creating it will then mean nothing. Your point about creating for a higher power is beautiful. In my view, it's creating art for someone who will never provide praise or negative feedback. It is just is, and they have it. You made tangible evidence of your vision, and that's enough because every person is so mf special.

Omg wow I need to look what lenses and equipment this first woman has. That is what i love to look at, and the look of film is what attracts me to get my first camera.

Um hi I love your view? Thanks for this

This was great! I feel the pressure to monetise photography daily being surrounded by many talented content creators, I think this helped me pull my mind out of that mindset

what a cool video

Enjoy these videos every time they drop, and I like how you bring it back to the creator.

Bro hit us with a Kanye beat and then spoke from the tongue of literature while sounding like Timothee Chalamet in Dune. I subscribed

thanks for sharing your thoughts and your heart...sounds very ecclesiastical which I find leads us to a "reset" of our "why's"

Keep it up - and yes, the 645 lenses were designed for a film size / images larger than the 44x33mm GFX sensor size, so no vignette as you said. I think they will be going up and up in price as GFX (and perhaps other similar systems) become more popular..

Screen recordings are funny since I can't see anything on them. First I thought my video quality went from 4K to 144

I loved this video.. poetic. Beautiful images. Raw, self-aware. Hope to see more of these from you! If not, just keep shooting. Things become clearer in time. Thanks for posting

The lenses are also great adapted on the Fuji X-PRO 3. Loved using my Mamiya 80 mm on my previously owned X-PRO 3. Crazy looking adaptor for it, but worked amazingly.

This lens is almost completely different on 6x7. Sadly the gfx sensor is just too small. I’d love to see somebody make a 645 to 6x7 speed booster, then I can see this lens being amazing on the GFX.

The lens is incredibly sharp wide open if you can nail the focus. I use it on a 5D mkll with a split screen and usually I can be quite accurate, but I guess medium format can make nailing focus even more difficult, especially if you are not shooting from a tripod.

First of all congratulations! The light in these shots EXACTLY embodies the nostalgic mood of past summers, vibes that I've been trying to achieve for a long time. I wanted to ask you if you could tell the exact recipe used for these shots, specifically for the shots in more-daytime situations, like graduation photos in a pre-golden hour condition 1:24 . Congratulations again and thank you so much for being so inspiring. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is an amazing video. Thanks for sharing your descriptions and thoughts from a position of clarity and patience (essentially opposite from everything online).

are you taking those pictures in the night (after blue hour) with a tripod or just handheld... I wonder cause 50r lack IBIS stabilization

Probably the best KZbin video I’ve watched this year, love the style!

I came on your channel because you had gfx50r. Mitakon video pushed me to get it too, and i bought it. Its the perfect camera. But then i didn't unsub. In fact I'm glad i stayed. Your videos are pretty cool. I love this format, the style and how you make the journey your own. Journey in both philosophy and photography, as well as places. Inspiring.

Thanks for your video. Can you peak focus using this lens ? to know where you are sharp?

focus...... uggh.

I am about to adapt some 645 lenses to X1D. I am wondering how you can tell which lens is used on each shot since there is no communication between lens and body. Thanks.

i noticed if you use the exposure compensation in normal Across, you can get more contrast without lose to much details.

Which adapter did you use?

Which adapter are you using?

This was dope! Definitely get me going to shoot more freely
