15 Frames on the Mamiya 645 Pro | Kodak Gold 200

[@YourFriendJeff]

Life just looks so good through a waist level finder

[@sbutler66]

That was beautiful and unique. Please do more like this, nice to vicariously shoot the 645

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@SprokkereefNederlands]

this is why I love the smaller film photography channels. Super nice video!

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@monox_live]

This is going to blow up. Beatiful video man!

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

I used to shoot Mamiya 645 Pro TLs in my film days as a pro. Sold it for heartbreakingly little money in 2005 (2 bodies, 5x backs, polaroid backs, 3 lenses....), because I needed money to go digital. Boy, do I miss them. I used to shoot with the prism finder and motorwinder, because it made it almost like a 35mm in ergonomics. Lovely pics and video. Cool POV. I recently got a C33... cannot wait to get out with it.

[@adamlora]

Thats awesome! I’ve got the miter winder too and love it. Thanks!

[@sergedebel6514]

Superb, nice and quiet. You made me feel like getting back to my Mamiya 645 and put some FP4 or Tri X in B&W in it. (Provided these still exist)

[@adamlora]

Thank you! Do it, they still do exist!

[@bernardmitura]

absolutely mesmerising and beautiful

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@SteffenMiethke]

This looks so smooth 🥹 the images and the waist level finder

[@adamlora]

thanks man!

[@parkyouleon]

Just wow. I love this POV

[@adamlora]

thanks!

[@marcelohm123]

Always happy when something like this pops up in my recommended and seems to get a bit of traction. Makes me believe that there is still a place on the internet for creative stuff. Also curious about the rig as I’m doing a lot of stuff like this myself currently (rigging the camera to certain movable objects). The way you hold it with just 2 hands on the Mamiya makes it seem like the whole rig was super light, even though you rigged a whole ass camera on top 😂

[@adamlora]

Hey thanks man! I basically had it on a 15mm rail system with some random attachments I had laying around.

[@JimmyMace]

I love the idea of the video. Great work

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@finkwiedervogel]

That's a great concept!! I enjoyed it! It feels so pleasing slow and "human"

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@yoh2857]

Nice video, really great job. Hope to see some more in the future.

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@Savvce]

This is phenomenal stuff. Keep it up! Great job.

[@adamlora]

Thanks a lot!

[@artallik7114]

What a beautiful and creative video. Good job man!

[@adamlora]

Thanks a lot!

[@Simalacrum]

How did you record this? What was your setup? It's amazingly filmed, and i love how there's no commentary - just the view through the lens and the sounds ❤ gives me ideas of doing something like it myself!

[@TravelingTribeof5]

Absolutely loved this!!!

[@adamlora]

thanks!

[@RyanKorea]

Absolutely love it! This will be my next camera for sure!

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@juanimal]

Stunning images!! 😍

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@deltorophoto]

This was a great video man. Would love to see more like this!

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@BrandonSallinger]

I stumbled onto this video looking up stuff about the Mamiya and thought "wow this is so well made" and of course it's freaking you Adam 😂

[@adamlora]

lol no way!!

[@ohtatenda]

this was beautiful man, you should do more please

[@adamlora]

Thanks! Working on it!!

[@Beta117]

This was incredible. Thanks!

[@adamlora]

Thank you!

[@farahnazphotography]

Nice photos. I'm just curious how your viewfinder is so sharp and you can see everything on seen. I have the same model but my waist viewfinder is blurry, just the small circle is clear for focusing. Any idea please?

[@adamlora]

i'm not sure, this is the focusing screen that came with it but might have to do with that.

[@haulfilms]

Very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!

[@adamlora]

thanks!

[@JoshuaMolina]

I would love to know how to mount the camera to record from waist level finder! The pictures are absolutely impressive!

[@adamlora]

Thank you! Ive got a photo of the rig in the community tab!

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Hey Adam! This looks great, well done!

[@adamlora]

Thanks so much!

[@soynicho]

Just wanna say that I truely enjoy your video, so calm and cool! Best wishes from Ecuador bro! Ps: You got to show us your rig you used for this video!!

[@adamlora]

Thank you! I might have to

[@NormaanFeather]

This is such a calming video. Would love to know how you rig the video to the camera?

[@adamlora]

Thank you! Ive got a photo of the rig in the community tab!

[@CallMeManoli]

amazing video

[@adamlora]

Thank you! its kinda just a bunch of random rigging parts, so probably not a full video. but maybe ill do a short about it

[@Thiswildromancephoto]

How do you get the top down shot?

[@adamlora]

Posted a photo of the rig on my community page

[@mitchtube3]

Youve gained a sub dude, gorgeous

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@mitchtube3]

@adamlora I've just set my 645 up the same way after watching this, you gave me the push to go for it cheers! 😁

[@-420-]

how did you rig your digital camera on top of the mamiya?

[@adamlora]

gotten a lot of people asking. I'll post it on the community page

[@Deacon_Israel]

whats your set up ?

[@mamiyaonfilm]

Beautiful video! Would love to know how do you manage to get that point of view with your camera

[@Deacon_Israel]

same here

[@adamlora]

Hey, thanks! I just messed around with some different rigging parts I had. Basically just put my FX3 above it on a rail system. If I can find a photo of it ill post it on my instagram @iamadamlora

[@Deacon_Israel]

@@adamlora do you mean developing your negatives ? Or how you got the shot this video of your camera and what rig setup you used ? I looked on your instagram I don’t see anything about the rig set up to make theirs recording style and angle

[@Deacon_Israel]

@@adamlora oh ok sorry read it wrong ill be checking for that post

[@mamiyaonfilm]

@@adamloraI’ll check it out for sure! Love the point of view

[@dksamurai]

Does the Mamiya 645 Pro have a built-in light meter? Or only when the prism is attached? I agree with everyone else: Nice soothing video, well done!

[@adamlora]

yes, only with the AE prism. So I was using an external one here. Thanks!

[@dksamurai]

@@adamlora Makes sense, thanks for the reply!

[@jamesprivet]

Brilliant video thank you! Is that 80mm f/2.8 lens?

[@adamlora]

Thanks! Yes it is!

[@patcormick]

okay my dude - this is a sick vibe - I've seen the idea a couple times now and I personally love it. can we get that video you mentioned below👇 about how you rigged the shot? 🙏

[@adamlora]

Thanks so much man! I’ll try to get it up soon!

[@Tychoe1]

Hey! I just inherited this camera. Can you tell me which view finder youre using and thr focusing screen?

[@adamlora]

not sure on the focus screen but its the waist level finder

[@200mbytes9]

Hi Bro I watched your video, it's so beautiful When taking a picture, do you shoot with proper exposure? How much exposure compensation do you do?

[@adamlora]

thanks! I use a sekonic light meeter

[@briankim9021]

i also have a 645 pro and wanted to ask if you use strap/lugs for it? if you do, do you have any recs for straps/lugs? It's been pretty hard to find one for 645 pro. Thanks!

[@adamlora]

I have peak design anchors on it and use the same straps on all of my cameras.

[@briankim9021]

the peak design anchors attach to the mama 645 pro? if you don't mind... can you send me some pics/show me how that works? thanks!! @@adamlora

[@JhettonFilm]

Hey great shot’s.may i know what type of focusing screen did you used?its so bright,mine not like that.thanks

[@adamlora]

I think its just the stock one that comes with the 645 pro

[@Nercampix]

hi, good video, how do you put your camera on your 645 ? with witch stuff ?

[@adamlora]

I have a post showing the rig on my page.

[@TheLogicalphycopath]

how did you record this perspective of video?!? through the top down finder?!?

[@adamlora]

yes with the waist level finder. I have a photo of the pic in the community tab.

[@TheLogicalphycopath]

@@adamlora i mean like the video device used to aim downward towards the viewfinder and still being able to use it? Like some sort of go pro chest rig or something?

[@antonisdavis2288]

photos are straight out of the camera?

[@adamlora]

It’s film, so it’s actually quite the opposite lol

[@georgielawson]

Love this!!!

[@adamlora]

thank you!

[@saurabhbhardwaj6753]

This was like a therapy :) was watching this thinking if this could be my first MF unit :)

[@adamlora]

Thanks! I would for sure recommend the Mamiya!

[@saurabhbhardwaj6753]

@@adamlora Just got one in the package :), Can I ask which light meter were you using? exposures are just spot on! thanks!

[@just_eirik]

God that looks like so much fun! The shooting process itself I mean! Am I about to spend lots of money on to be able to do this? D: (I wanna)

[@adamlora]

Haha you can for sure go down a rabbit hole. But totally worth it.

[@thijskennis8757]

Nice video! How did you meter these shots?

[@adamlora]

Thanks! I have a sekonic meter I use

[@egan.9646]

what lens did you use?

[@adamlora]

I went back and forth between the 80mm 2.8 and 45mm 2.8

[@herobear]

Cool man!

[@adamlora]

Thanks!

[@herobear]

@@adamlora Welcome!

[@arnaudd.4016]

Why shoot at 1/1000 F4 or 5.6 when you can shoot at f9 or f11

[@Caballeroshot]

Shooting landscapes wide open....weird flex! Great images though, the view is amazing.

[@joseelement7695]

lol. was wondering if I was the only one thinking that. as you say, nice results though, so file it under "you do you."

[@adamlora]

yeah that was definitely just from being distracted by the stupid rig and focusing more on making the video, rather than really dialing in my exposure settings haha

[@joseelement7695]

@@adamlora lol. can’t argue with the results! i’m a new fan of your photography/channel man.

Hey aren’t you the Adam who I sold that camera to at kiwi???
