I prefer the canon vi-L , for a lower price and it have three magnifications. But ngl the canon P look so cleannnnn

I have the 2 GFX budget busters: Fuji GF 50mm 🧁 and the 35-70. It’s an amazing little lens. Only reason I keep the 50 around is because it’s a little faster in low light. Add the Mitakon 65mm and you’ve got a mean trio.

Hey! In case you didn't know, the film luts like the 2383 you use are meant to be used in cineon film log gamma. So in you last rec 709 lut node, you should put instead another color space transform and put it in rec709 for color and cineon film log, then add the 2383 lut after on another node!

I just bought an F3 and I'm so excited to use my first roll of film today 😊thanks for this video!

Hi, do you need to use crop mode on the gfx or the lens cover the whole sensor without any dark corner? Thx

I have a box of E-6 chemicals and a few rolls of E100 in my fridge but I have not yet delved into this world. I also have 200 slide mounts but I do not own a slide projector so that is (for now) pointless but I COULD mount real slides 🤣

Hi Michael! I actually shot my first 400 stock at 250 iso accidentally but now that im seeing this mistake was actually a GOOD thing, before I get my film developed would you say to ask the lab to pull -1? Or just leave as is & dev normally as if it was shot at 400? 👀

I have the same 8sinn clamp as you, but for the life of me I cant seem to find the right USB-C cable to fit.All the right angle ones i buy just dont go in :(

Nice one Michael, you did a good job there 👍

Thanks for the video. As a beginner using Resolve I found this quick, concise and to the point.

I mean, fuji 400 is cheaper than ultramax 400 in where i live so that works for me

Have you tried pushing one stop ? I want more grain and contrast. Im afraid pushing it will ruin it but im not sure.

You have a very similar setup to mine! do you mind making a video of the colour editing process for your GFX to make them look like your M2 images? love the tonality and depth of what you have in this video.

Отличные снимки! Привет из России! Успехов!

Did you use a warming filter in daylight or did nothing and just edited in post?

I don’t know why Leica M2/3 fans continue to make the false claim that Leicas are built better than the Canon P when the Canon P has a metal shutter curtain that will outlast Leica’s fabric shutter curtain every day of the week and twice on Sundays. And that’s not some touchy-feely opinion; it’s an objective fact that makes the P’s build quality objectively superior. To be clear, I’m not hating on Leicas. I think they’re fine. But any person who hasn’t bought into the marketing or fan-boy hype and looks at both camera’s objectively can see that the Canon P (and probably other camera a well) are built just as well or better than Leicas. As far as design goes, I think one can say that the side-mounted strap lugs on the Leica is functionally better than the Canon P, and the focusing patch is ostensibly easier to use as well. However, the P has the larger 1x viewfinder, and it also has what any reasonable person would admit is a far superior designed film-loading system verses the Leica’s archaic and anachronistic bottom-loading system. So where design is concerned, what one considers “better” (in a utilitarian sense) will depend on the importance one places on any of those items mentioned. And because preference is subjective, one cannot dispute the preference of others. However, where something like quality of build is concerned, a camera whose cloth shutter-curtain is subject to deterioration and/or pinholes and will eventually require replacement cannot seriously be said to be built better than one with a metal shutter-curtain. To suggest otherwise simply sounds like fancy-boy hyperbole.

Bro, this is so weird but that Pentax 67 that belonged to you that I ended up with, I actually traded it for an M2 recently! 😂

awsome man

i have a 50sii and the camera is amazing ... the files are amazing ... and the GF55f1.7 is amazing

Your photos are beautiful!

Go for the 645 Pentax lenses, not much more expensive and they cover the entire GFX sensor since 645 is even larger

imo i focus wayyyy faster with a rangefinder vs my nikon f or f2. i think that reason alone is worth keeping the leica.

Provia and Velvia are sharper than Ektachrome, but has less dynamic range. Velvia shifts towards magenta. Ektachrome has a impressive dynamic range. I can underexpose 2 stops and still get reasonable scans. Ektachrome shifts a little bit towards blue. It could be purchased cheaper by buying the Kodak Vision 3 5294

Hey man, cool video great photos .. I have the same camera and I have same film in the fridge any tips on settings ? As I was told this film is great for shooting at night ! Keep on shooting on ! Peace ✌️ Tommy

Hi! Thanks a lot for this well explained video. One of the most complete and easy to understand in my opinion, such a good and proper information "rhythm" to listen to. One question: at 7:11 -7:13 is that railing suffering moiré from the camera? I've heard the FP does suffer from that if not 1:1 pixel ratio. Thanks

just subscribed to your channel! The Mamiya 7 is my dream camera and hope to buy one someday. I currently have the RB67 and a 35mm. Where do you develop your film at? I'm looking for a new lab, I live in Atlanta, GA and my lab has been very hit or miss with scanning lately.

You just sold me on getting one of these. Thanks for that!

You have a favorite shutter speed? 😂

Great video

Still selling that lens? I'd be interested...

Amazing work! Thanks for this video! :)

what happen if you spin far on NiSi JetMag Pro True Color CPL ? is be loose? cuz the line is short.

If you love this camera like you said in the video, don't sell it. You will regret it. 2000 dollars isn't that much money to invest in a photography career. So the investment in gear that you love and can use for 20+ years is so much more valuable in the end.

Don’t sell it! You will regret it. Speaking from experience.

Love to see your insight on this topic. I feel like lot of people nowdays are just so used to seeing Leicas and other expensive gear that it became practically an standart to have one while only a fraction of us have the money for it, as you mentioned you had to sell quite a lot of stuff to buy the M2. Leicas are great, but you can definetly as you said take same photo with the F3 or just any other camera, all that matters at the end is the stock and the lens.

I recently bought a Leica m3 for a good price and told myself I was going to flip it. However, I can’t seem to let it go😂 but freeing up money is definitely a legitimate reason. Interested to see what you do with that $2000

I shot with the F in the mid-late 70's, then F3 & FM2N in the 80's and onward until I got lost in the migration to digital and cast about for a while until settling on D850's and a Zed 7 among others. However, the F3 remains the pinnacle of Nikon 35mm film cameras and the pinnacle among all others. I'm dusting off the F3 now for a shoot early next year!

I completely understand what youre trying to say, The exact same thing has been on my mine about my relationship with my M4 as well

by the way, if you ever get rid of this converted G lens, hit me up :)

reasonable comments and I totally agree with the decision. My end goal for 35mm is also a silver M-P but that's far in the future. Now I'm another one settled with a Canon P and a good 50mm. Now the next step is a good 35mm lens. Later comes the M-P - way later. Good video and good photos

Wonderful work and also narration. May I ask how you prepare your photos for your videos? It's nice with the white frame and the text which camera and film you use. And also which resolution (since I own a GFX 50s 2, too). I am starting in doing videos for youtube and struggling with hat.

Please don’t feel like you’ve got to buy and sell equipment to keep your view count up… otherwise you’ll just turn into other boring KZbinr with their “I love this camera so I sold it” crap. A tip, stop shooting film, it’s abhorrently expensive, if I shot film then 100 pictures a week (which is nothing) will cost around £3,600 a year…it’s nuts. Oh and honestly, digital images (especially GFX) look way better too. Good luck 🙂

I understand the problem of cost, but a Nikon F and a Leica M2 does not “do the same”. Both use film, and the F could be considered to be a meterless camera because of the batteries and perhaps the age of the cells in the meter. I recommend one camera/lens/film stock year, and maybe sell the 35mm converted Contax G lens. It was not that good compared to the other G lenses, at least not then. its quite a lot of money, and you have other budget lenses thats as good, or better for less money. Of corse its less cool, less hype and less instagram. IF you have to convert one of the G lenses, choose the 45, or the 28 if it possible. TLDR : I understand the need to make content, but comparing a M2 and a Nikon Ftn? Both cameras and perfectly fine for its use case, but different in its handling. Give the Leica another year, but sell the 35mm Contax G adapted lens for anything 35mm, let’s say a color skopar 35mm?

lol.. wet myself so much watching this one. my favorite camera ever. the kid is 12 has had it for 4 mths and put 20 rolls through it !!! but yet talks about it like he is 50 has owed it for 30 years and put 1000s of rolls through it.. says has put 20 rolls through it and terms this a tonne !! lol. not even scratching the surface . 20 rolls used to be a few days worth.. i am declaring open season a gen z dum fuxkery!!! and i thought millennials were annoying little twerps with there we have discovered film routines but genZ are taking it to a whole new level !!!!

I bought 3 rolls of this film after also reading Alex Burkes blog. Then I started having doubts mostly about whether I could expose it correctly do I need a bit more experience with film photography before I jump into colour positive, so I was about to order some kodak ektar and put the E100 in the freezer for awhile. However after watching this I just gonna jump on in.

Loved it. Great color grading

It’s a beautiful camera! Nice frames!

It was introduced in the late 1950s, it has stood the test of time. I am really trying to tell you very politely that your thoughts don't really count for jack. Please sell it off and leave us alone. You have had your mileage so you need to but Fuji or Sony or even Hasselblad. I hear they are giving them away, so hurry up mate.

The Nikon is a beast, I have a FM2n and I carry it with me everytime. SLRs are heavier and bulkier, but also inspiring.

Smart decision to change things up and find the equipment that makes sense for both your budget and that appeals to your creativity.
