"this is just what I have" when referencing a Yashica T4. Must be nice lol

[@loreleirivera7476]

Willem takes 3 pictures out of the window in a moving car: turns out great. Me takes a picture out of a stopped car: the picture is not focused, underexposed, and upside down.

[@sabinemetz]

Life 😂

[@MichaelZieschang]

I even wouldn‘t have spend a single frame out of the moving car. But maybe it‘s useful as a B-roll capture.

[@MoisheLettvin]

When I moved 10 years ago I mistakenly donated my T4 to Goodwill (it was in a box with other stuff) and I think about it every day. I hope, though, that someone got very lucky and bought it for $5 or something.

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

My point and shoot is the Olympus XA. Smaller than the T4, but it's a rangefinder and aperture priority. IMO, it's more useful. But in reality; it is the eye, not the camera that makes the image.

[@bobselektor]

@@SteveMillerhuntingforfood I have the XA too and it's a gem of a pocketable camera! The lens is sharp and fast, and if you set it to 5.6 and 3m focus you can use it like a point and shoot, nailing all the shots

[@valsdarkroom]

Your enthusiasm when you spot something nice to shoot is contagious!

[@infinitesmall]

is this the most expressive his voice has ever been, or am i imagining it

[@seandalt]

Love it, you’re just over the hill from my family’s house. Grew up in this area, love seeing you shoot it man!

[@fromHeaven2LA]

Definitely my favorite point and shoot! It's crazy to see how far Moment has come from making lenses for your phone to now classes, which is sick!

[@tomashudak3641]

Duude you are so good i never skipped a second on your videos

[@_buttertigers]

you can actually half-press the shutter on the T4 to focus on the subject you want it to track, the circle inside the viewfinder is the spot focus. there are also small LED indicators right beside the viewfinder on the back of the camera to tell you whether or not you're in focus of your subject.

[@MAXSABANify]

the timing of this is amazing! I just got a t4 and was hoping to find a video of yours that featured it. Couldn't find any last week but today is the day!

[@eathumans5242]

I’ve had my T4 for about 5 years now, it has been my everyday camera ever since.

[@mrhockey2443]

Really cool you were out in Santa Cruz. I had the privelege of living with some great people and in the woods of campus near the college in 2008-2009 and the coast having redwoods right up to the edge, the open spaces, the thickly wooded areas and then the massive open ocean. It's so fun. Great captures of the pokemon/photos out in california.

[@nicholastseng1272]

Prices about to skyrocket

[@trels203]

Yashica t4 prices already stupid high. They just went up another 100

[@FramesPerSecond]

Too late for that lol

[@jijilover14]

they were already dummy high to begin with. can't wait for this camera to hit contax prices.

[@luanrosa3022]

excuse me for asking, but are film prices going up where you guys live? here in Brasil they are being sold for like 2x the price of last year

[@WillemVerb]

As if this camera wasn't already overpriced haha

[@KILLIVVN]

The Yashica T4 goes crazyyyyyy

[@CholoSerrano]

a willem and moment collab might be a top 5 collab of all time

[@theo_korner]

If you're just starting out I doubt you'll be using portra in your point'n'shoot

[@demojamz]

lol im starting out and i have some p400 but am gonna wait to use it so it doesnt go to waste on my rookie stages

[@theo_korner]

@@demojamz make sure to keep your film cool or even freeze it, if you're not planning to use it soon

[@Niele160]

Actually, I'd totally recommend shooting Portra when starting out. It's a lot more forgiving, and produces way better images (in my opinion) than any consumer type film. By now, I've tried them all. Recently got 5 rolls back of ProImage100 and while it's cheaper than Portra, it was way too saturated and grainy, and the overall colors were not pleasing to the eye at all. With Portra, it seems to look nice right out of the gate. You pay more, but you get more too. If you're starting out I doubt splashing out $500 for a point and shoot is a good idea. A cheaper one with good film will net better results and is more likely to spark momentum and keep you going. If you're going to spend 500, there are better options than the Yashica, like a Konica Hexar for example. The Yashica is small and portable though, I have a T3 and it's amazing but also a bit limiting.

[@rayne1337]

@@Niele160 even though it's forgiving I don't think it's a good idea for you as a photographer to start with something expensive when you have zero experience, plus a lot of people try film because of that greenish tones like you see on some party underexposed photos, which you can't (?) get on Portra

[@rayne1337]

@@Niele160 I think something relatively cheap as Fuji Superia Xtra 400 is good enough.

[@jw3700]

Got a T4 for sub-$100 (or at least one of the versions of it, the Kyocera TProof w/the Zeiss T* 35) and some of the shots are absolutely beautiful even on the test roll of cheap film I used!

[@amaalplp]

Just started the workshop! so excited! thank you :)

[@WillemVerb]

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you :')

[@michaelomo]

36 frames feels like a lot when you’re use to 10 a roll 😂. Great video 🤘

[@kebab_boi]

This is what scares me about medium format. And how expensive it is to send your film to the lab yikes.

[@michaelomo]

Ali Rafiei really lets you determine what’s worth a frame, and isn’t! chances make champions!

[@kebab_boi]

michaelomo you’re right, I’m still saving up but I gotta give it a try for sure 😎

[@nicholassimmons9066]

I will definitely buy your tutorials !!! Your insight is definitely worth $100.

I appreciate that! Thank you so much

[@davialvesanimator]

Thanks for the new video Willem! Totally random question, but where do you buy your shirts? Those plain grey, black and white ones

[@kiwipics]

The T4 focus point is central only, with the ability to half press focus and recompose. The infinity only option is also available.

[@robertbartelmes7623]

Willem ... the Yashica T4 was my "go-to" camera for well over a decade of travel photography ... Bart

[@austingarciaa]

the Yashica T4 is a beast. It’s my go to camera right now 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jdouguspsa]

congrats bro! this is super duper hype

[@MrSodaBelly]

The camera is a ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT! Pure 10 out of 10! But man I hate the auto flash on it. I would rather recommend point and shoots with the option to leave the flash off. Canon made a few! Love the vid and I’m forever a fan! Thank you!

[@EvDenney]

listening to Willem describe the car is so funny to me 😂 "Baby blue farmers car" *is expecting a truck* *pans to a late nineties station wagon DRENCHED in dust*

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

That looked more like a car belonging to one of the farm workers. They were probably a few hundred yards away wondering if his car was getting ransacked.

[@quinnking8405]

6 years ago I got a t4 off a friend for $25 fast forward to 2020 sold it for $500. its a good camera for portraits anything else I found very monotoned. glass lens is a must though vey crisp but any landscapes get drowned out!

[@DuncanStewartPhoto]

Sneaky Peaky Yashica, this was like the camera of the year in 1999 when I was at artschool. too funny, noice.

[@rudylarrea7505]

Usually I shoot large format but I snagged a t4 at a flea market for 20 bucks last year 😎 I take it with me everywhere for those quick pics

[@ziggy149]

Are you sure that structure at around 3:07 wasn't up by Pacifica? Looks exactly like the spot, but then again, these structures were built as look outs during WWII so they probably all look similar, but that tunnel in the background. Super duper similar to the spot I'm talking about. It's just cool seeing you shoot out here.

[@lowboz]

Yeah this spot is right before Linda Mar. he’s actually shooting in Half Moon Bay, not Santa Cruz.

[@dn8226]

my current 35mm camera, sooooo nice

[@blahblahblah2243]

are you filming with a shower cap over the lens? footage looks like a pro mist but when you snapped that shot of the guy filming it looked like you netted the lens or had some sort of plastic over it?

[@harrytalay301]

maybe a stocking?

[@ahahaha]

Point and shoots are for real artists. They are the most expressive cameras around. You concentrate on producing good content. Shooting with a point and shoot is like drawing with charcoal.
