10 rolls of film starting at 5 am ... Rollei 35AF, Yashica 124G and rolleinar macro

[@AlexOnStreets]

I really love how you always end up printing your photos in the end and analyze them. To me this is always the best end result. Don't be mad if I do the same on my channel later too. 🙏

[@ribsy]

Haha na do it! I find people really enjoy breaking down an image

[@caleblatreille8224]

"Let's be honest, these are all butts." 😂 Love the work (esp. the macro) and the commentary.

[@ribsy]

Hahaha not gonna try and manufacture some artsy description or title 😂

[@husshardan3511]

Excellent shots! Loved the blurry colour ones - gives it a real energetic feel. Also - sweet Liverpool FC short!

[@ribsy]

Thanks!

[@just_a_quick_ride]

Colour, B&W, both fantastic. The B&W shots are totally timeless.

[@ribsy]

Much appreciated! Yea def something special about bw

[@muskcoder6367]

@@ribsy More expressive.

[@cwantuch]

Holy s*** that is a great shot! Now I am really psyched to get my 35AF next month. I was lamenting that maybe I made a mistake ordering that but with your review and that shot, wow! Thanks

[@ribsy]

Thank you!

[@_analog_photo]

Great shots! And even better - I almost felt how it is to be there, with emotions and all, and that is rare.👍

[@ribsy]

Great! That was my goal - thanks!

[@tedphillips2951]

The medium format portraits are beautiful & the 35mm action shots are amazing & capture the event.

[@ribsy]

Really appreciate that 😄

[@joseerazevedo]

Hi! Great shots, the one you preferred is amazing, looks somewhat surrealistic! I prefer the colors on the prints, more saturated, hotter colors, has more to do with the scene/action, I think. Congrats! But the one that caught my eyes is the one at 1:34, found its contrast and shines incredible! Those Rolleinars are very nice. Should you can, try the number 2, it's not as a close up as the 3, may give you room to work. All the best!

[@ribsy]

Yea that’s my second favorite!

[@mynewcolour]

My favourite street/reportage stuff raises questions. These do that - such good energy. Judging by some of the comments here they’re also provocative and reveal attitudes of viewers. A sign you’re doing it right. My Rolinar 1 was cheap (it had fungus removed and is pretty scratched-up) I haven’t noticed any issue with quality though. I have used it indoors or with a hood to reduce flares and stuff. I love using it and love the results. Hopefully yours is ok even with the chip. If you find you do need a hood I recommend getting a proper ‘bay 1’ type (rather than a screw-on type) so you can still whip off attachments quickly without removing the hood. ✌🏽

[@ribsy]

Yea the chip seems to not make any different at all so far. Maybe under certain lighting angles it might - we’ll see!

[@ravelrm]

Great shots and video! The closeup ones with the TLR are outstanding

[@ribsy]

Thank you! Yea I really liked those

[@palehorse7775]

Really digging the print show case. Also I like the workflow of B&W on 35mm and color on 120

[@ribsy]

Appreciate you watching!

[@thevoiceman6192]

I think this is your best work yet. My favorite is the first photo. The people in shadows with the blue light outlining them That is art in my opinion. Now that you are making prints see yif you can exhibit them in an art show. After seeing your photos Baby Got Back popped in my head.

[@ribsy]

Thanks you! And yes, that silouhette photo is great. I’m gonna print that one big too

[@dardis1745]

loved the photos Ive always wanted to capture j'ouvert or the carnival parade on film! I loved all the shots and followed you on IG!

[@ribsy]

Thanks! Really appreciate it

[@blackcameraphoto]

I was out there that morning too! I was looking for myself in your video! The medium format headshots are 🔥!

[@ribsy]

Thank you! So many people there

[@weslito2]

Very cool shots. Can you share a link to the macro lenses?

[@ribsy]

They are on eBay

[@devroombagchus7460]

Thanks! Great pics. Just a pedantic remark. Your macro lenses on the Yashica are close-up lenses. I have the three strengths, called I, II, and III.

[@ribsy]

Thanks

[@louissmith6584]

Ribsy has just gone top of the league wearing that top. Hello from Liverpool fella.

[@ribsy]

YNWA!

[@stuartconnelly5397]

Shots that are not in focus does not really matter to much for street. Lots of great pictures. Love the fact that your giving the Rollei AF a real world test. Love the Yashica pictures, they were awesome.

[@ribsy]

Yea soft focus / motion blur can actually dramatically change an image for the better, I’ve learned. Want to explore this more

[@jputnick]

Very well done! I have a 124G and Mamya C220 as well.

[@ribsy]

Niceeee

[@monokulstudio]

Graet pictures, video and prints! I love your channel! When I was a student of photography we were saving on paper by making strips. Let’s say cut one sheet by three and that gives you 3 tests, so write down every setting and make your choice for the final print settings. I’m not sure if this helps, but I love your passion about all aspects of photography! Thank you for the content!

[@ribsy]

Thanks! I actually cut my paper as well. The big prints weren’t a good example of that

[@drewh79]

Great shots mate

[@ribsy]

Thank you!

[@robertkerner4833]

Nice images. Thanks for sharing about the macro filters. I have a Rolleicord (the blue collar version of the "Flex') and have to get a set of those to experiment with. What is the significance of the motor oil?

[@ribsy]

Thanks! ChatGPT: Remembrance: The tradition may have originated as a way to remember the Canboulay Riots, which took place in 1881 when people covered themselves in oil or paint to avoid being recognized

[@TristanColgate]

I got the minolta autocord close up lenses and am using them with an MPP MIcrocord, they seem to work pretty well. I got both sets, and also picked up a wideangle adapter too (not quite as good, but has a bit of a vibe).

[@ribsy]

Nice! Yea the close up lenses are great accessories

[@rockhills]

Never been to one of these, but what in the diddy? Motor oil is wild. Btw, those blurry/messy shots and those macro shots are dope!

[@ribsy]

Thanks!

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Didn't know Rolleinars fit a Yashica. Good to know. I sold a set many years ago when i sold my Rolleiflex. Wish i had both now.... But, yes, they do diminish image quality, but not so much that it's 'significant' for a non-technical use. Richard Avedon used them-that's all the validation i needed. Looks like you're getting great results, too. I kinda wanted a Yashica Mat after i sold the Rolleiflex, as i didn't want to have that much money invested in a TLR, but i got caught up in all the internet chatter about 'needing' to have one that was overhauled by a certain ex-Yashica technician. And with that cost, it just became a camera that was a bit further away from being the bargain i kinda wanted at the time.

[@ribsy]

I noticed absolutely nothing in terms of degraded image. it’s gotta be negligible

[@jputnick]

How do you compesate for parallax or since using a pair does it matter?

[@ribsy]

The focusing lens has parallax correction built into it. So what you see in the viewfinder has already been corrected. No compensation needed!

[@IceBergs]

Hello fellow TLR users that want macro on the cheap! I have found buying the 3d printed bay adapters and then buying +1 +2 and +3 aliexpress 37mm filters and stacking or using one to be an excellent cost effective way to pack a 6x6 with a face just remember you gotta buy em in pairs! I have shot a few portfolio pieces with em and you'd never tell they were from aliexpress

[@ribsy]

Yea there are def some cheaper alternatives. I wanted the best glass possible since adding glass will always technically “degrade” the image

[@MakersTeleMark]

The butt rainbow is excellent.

[@ribsy]

That’s it! Thanks for the image title 😂

[@pd1jdw630]

Love the work. But maybe it’s time to retire the rebel and look for a Eos 7

[@ribsy]

Haha na, I like the rebel cuz they are tiny

[@TX10X10]

I tried to google why motor oil is used, but found nothing, do you know why?

Insane work as always bro, hope we can link up one day next time I’m back in NY 😤👊🏼

[@ribsy]

Appreciate you!

[@fernandovillava]

Hola Ribsy, como siempre, excelente video. En español hay un buen canal de cámaras analógicas, Disparafilm. He hablado sobre invitarte a una estrevista en español contigo para los amantes de la fotografía analógica que hablamos éste idioma.

[@ribsy]

gracias!

[@osirismarbles5177]

Fav image and also title image for the vid? My niece/nephew cant scroll this on KZbin TV without some serious explanation. Could at least remove from title image. Looks like a Diddy party at this point.

[@ribsy]

Na

[@philvarner3175]

I thought it was interesting how you talked about the photo that was "dark" since that's how it was early in the morning and of Black bodies -- I was watching this video with Carrie Mae Weems yesterday kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OVZ4aEoNV2gcUsi=d7e2qEdxvxTHSeS5&t=382 and she talks about when Roy DeCarava showed his photos to curators and one of the criticisms were that they were too dark, primarily because of the centering of whiteness in the photography world then. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

[@ribsy]

Yea that is very interesting. I didn’t even consider the alternative as valid. I’ll give the video a watch

[@shockerpb03]

While it's cool to have such an event, isn't motor oil cancerous?

[@ribsy]

I don’t think one day of motor oil on the skin will be a big deal in the long run

[@WhoIsSerafin]

I think you should name that photo modern cultural decay. That said a street photographers dream scenario of activities. And geez, that oil is full of carcinogens that's going to give future doctors all kinds of work for cancer patients.

[@ribsy]

That title is the exact opposite sentiment I want to put forth. Stop judging people

[@WhoIsSerafin]

@@ribsythrowing motor oil on yourself, polluting yourself and polluting the streets. All the while you are doing depraved acts on the streets. I think I’ll keep judging this one and hope better for our country. But again, I’d go in a second to document this in photos.

[@Zetaphotography]

That’s crazy that a celebratory event leads to shooting. Shows the sespool that is NY and the animals that live there. Proud to had been able to move away. I hope the event charges to clean up the mess from the motor oil to clean after. Your images are amazing, the narrative is great glad you kept honest to what you shot and what the event participants are.

[@ribsy]

You don’t need to be so negative about nyc
