Mamiya has more magic

Very inspirational!

You should have gone where the black car drove at 8:47. The other end of Lake Bohinj is more secluded and at the very end is a famous waterfall called Savica, but probably not good to go there in winter, more of a summer time kind of trip.

Btw, it’s pronounced “Boheen”, not “Bohinge” 😅 Bohinj is actually the region, it’s not a city or town. The only town is called Bohinjska Bistrica, the rest are villages.

My favorite camera (that I also own) and my favorite country (my own). I never expected to see this combination in a video format! Thanks for making me more home sick and happy new year!

May i ask what camera you shot this video with?

I got the X-T1 back in the day, meh camera honestly. But because I had the lenses, I bought the X-T3. Still great till this day. The battery life however, huh, well. Then switched to the Nikon Zf last year but still kept the X-T3. The X-T3 is for „I want to travel light“ but the image (and also build) quality of the Nikon are simply superior. Granted, it is with the lens twice as heavy as the X-T3… Win some, lose some

Hi.... I got my xt3 shortly after launch date and i still shoot it today. I'll never get rid of it. Its fabulous. Editing Suite. I can highly recommend Darktable which is 100% free opensource. It renders fuji raw files beautifully and has many powerful modules to explore and use. Well worth a look at. Its all i use now. Regards.... Steve.

Nice 👍

Flexible screens are the shit :D Great video !!

Had to send my Q off for a new viewfinder after it delaminated a few months ago after a short walk in a very humid and moist forest. Two week turn around and cost £200. Not great, but cheaper than i thought it would be. Have now upgraded to Q3.

There are so many people getting out of Fuji now and no wonder why. I slummed it with Fuji for over 10 years. I was locked in so much with all of their lenses, it was too expensive to change, so I kept hangin in there hoping things would improve. It wasn't until some of my customers started to not be happy with my images and it looked like I was about to lose some of my clients. Then out of desperation, about 2 years ago I trialled a Nikon Z camera and was totally blown out of the water with their image quality and their gorgeous Z series lenses. My clients commented on the gorgeous images and my business improved. I could now pull up an image shot over 1600 ISO, and pull up underexposed shadows, and the whole thing didn't turn to custard. I have two older Z cameras (6ii/7ii), and not even the latest technology, but their AFC is brilliant and still infinitely better than whatever Fuji had to offer me. Now I can do all my model shoots and events, and each time it just grabs the eye. I'm just filthy with myself for scabbing it with vile Fuji for so long and wasting thousands of dollars on their rubbish gear. Case in point - here in Perth Australia - an ad for a 2nd wedding shooter ".... second shooter required for weddings. The only stipulation, no Fuji shooters ...."! Ha, ha - I rest my case.

Its was the X-t3 and the X-t30 for me.

Thanks for the scenery and insights.

Sehr schöne winterliche Landschaft 😊

Nice walk ❄️🙂

I really like the "Fuji colours", they are great!

This is an unfair comparison or can be seen as a Leica ad. First because you decided to use the Leica Q as a model and then you missed most Zf features, even the Lens is not a Nikkor lens. So for me this comparison doesn't worth a penny and looks more a self confirming ad for Q owners. The Q is a great camera with a wonderful lens, but your video is just biaised, I have owned a few Leica M's and Fuji and now a Nikon Zf...

Original Q owner here. I recently played with a ZF in store because it looks incredible. I couldn't believe how cheap and plasticky it felt in my hand. In fact, every camera I picked up felt cheap and made of plastic. Which reminds me of why I got the Q to begin with.

Nikon has always had the best monochrome profile of any camera imo

This is a c mount? How does it look on an m4/3 camera?

What „engineers at Nikon” should do, was to place big red „A” (for „Auto”) on the ISO dial. That's all they should do. They could even sacrifice the highest ISO number, if there were not enough positions; that highest ISO available there could be set from menu. Instead they decided to unnecessarily complicate the switch from „Auto ISO” to any value selectable by using that dial.

This is one of the best photographic comparison videos I've seen on KZbin. I entered the world of photography in the mid-60s at the age of 16, using a Yashica Mat -124 G and Tri-X 400. I've come a long way from the Yashica to the Nikon Zf (which will be my last camera). The more I use it, the more I'm blown away by the quality, from the build to the Nikkor lenses to the images it gives me. I have yet to try the monochrome function (I've been processing my B&W images from RAW color files), but you have convinced me to "give it a shot," pun intended. As beautiful as the images were from both cameras, I found myself leaning toward the Deep Tone Monochrome. For me, it had more of a "graphic" quality, while the Tri-X had a "documentary feel," but beautiful nonetheless. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

Curious, doesn't the Zf show framelines aswell? Is this really a feature no other camera has? I know that Nikons at least allow cropping into DX (APS-C) mode. Does this just change the whole viewfinder picture or do framelines change?

Sorry -- but you wanted to give a conclusion ... but there was no conclusion. Neither in this video nor in any following video . I guess we will draw our own conclusions, however -- one could really argue against the use of Nikons deep tone monochrome and also against your way of B&W shooting with the Mamiya -- at least for me somehow the results are not so convincing , maybe it is the film or your development process.

Thank you for clearing this up once and for all! You’re right, it’s such a powerful feature, and Nikon must have just forgotten to mention it!!

I will never get rid of my Leica Q. Love that thing.

With Hasselblad C or Mamiya 645 lenses you have an aperture lever lock so you don't have to hold it during exposure with the Fuji.

Huge color differences, digital tree bark is pretty green and with portra not

You are lucky not getting vignetting with your adapters stacking. Never go From MF to FF to MF reducing the light path, but go directly from MF to MF

You have absolutely ZERO clues what you are talking about when you said you cant do wildlife photography or landscape Photography with a Q Series! If you do NOT know what you are talking about, PLEASE DON'T!

I moved on to the M system but the Q is the only camera I've ever truly missed. It's a goldilocks "forever body," absolutely. One day, I'll bump into a Q-P at the right time and have the body I'll take to my grave ha.

I love mine! Don't notice the age at all. There's just something about the photos it takes. I also have the delamination problem, just from walking around Tokyo in the Summer...

Awesome video! More of this! Would love to see some portrait comparisons.

Awesome video! Would love to see another video where you shoot with this setup and show us the photos.

Before you got bending down you got that ohhhhh out … just kidding 😂 …

I have two bronica ETRs and three lenses with them. The nice thing about the ETR and ETRS systems you can get a solid one part adapter to GFX. Also so long as you stay away from the PE versions and use the E2 versions (Those are pretty close to the same lenses as the PE) you have a button instead of the lever .. So instead of having to slide that lever over and hold it its a metal button that sticks out instead. I do inside photos and its very hard to see to focus unless the lenses are wide open. The problem with your method was that I had to keep cracking the aperture ring every time to re focus. It was a real pain. Using the button is easy to just rest the lens in your hand if your hand holding and just grab around the button and it presses it closed and take your photo. Let off and its open again to refocus ..

Thank you! This video convinced me to book a trip to Iceland in August :) Do you think this is a good first itinerary? 2 nights Reykjavik, 6 nights Fimmvorduhals trail photography, 1 night Reykjavik. It will be my first time in the country

film is film !

I only just found your channel, and it's wonderful! I will be back to check out many more of your videos. I've been to Iceland only once, and it was just for a quick bus tour, on an Iceland Air "stop-over". I need to go back. Beautiful video! 😁

Thanks for this video. I’ll be interested to see how a bigger project at the harbor unfolds.

Nikon seems to be applying a digital red filter. Should have used one with the Makita and TriX. The film looks more natural to my eyes.

On the Bronica lenses you should have a switch held by a screw that has an A next to it which you have to loosen the screw and slide the switch too M then you can adjust the aperture as normal.

You are a bore.

Very interesting comparison. It looks like the Kodak Gold is the preferable film for these conditions. I used to shoot quite a lot of Fuji 400H a long time ago but not much for nature images.

The Bronica smashed the Fuji. That being said the Fuj was cropping the lens greatly. Maybe a similar Fuji lens comparison against the Bronica. Its all the dimensionality and 3D effect you get on film.

That was interesting! They are so close. In your shot @ 17:00 with the beautiful bright green moss on the arm of the tree, I wondered how the Fuji would stack up, but it was almost identical 👍

I often use my Mamiya7ii with the panoramic kit! I have the 43mm and the 80mm and i use them both for the format. Also love shooting without the mask to get the sprocket holes exposed

I guess it would be more interesting comparison to use something like 50/1.4 FF lens on GFX, then there will be wider in angle than 6*6 film, but vertically it will be very close to the picture from bronica, so once you crop gfx shot into square they should be almost identical. So you will be able to not move camera and get same results

The film colors look beautiful, but I guess one can find film simulations via some plugins that imitate both the color profile of the film and the grain (if wanted). Maybe not 100% identical, but comparable. I also have the impression that the color temperature of the mamiya (regardless of the readings) is way cooler than in the Gfx.Did you set the color temperature manually? Generally the Fujis tend to set it on the cool side with Auto WB.
