Looking forward to the cameras I regret selling video.

[@milesian1]

I could do a video on that subject, for sure. Sadly : (

[@helgebrekke]

I'm presently thinking about selling a camera, which everyone I know that had it puts on top of their "regret selling" list. I think it is the right choice, but then again, am I just trying to join another club? Who knows.

[@orion7741]

thats why you dont ever sell them. its crazy talk to even think about selling your cameras. seriously.

[@kishascape]

Only delusional idiots sell.

[@2comicsonabench]

Where are these lens listed for sale?

[@anj3479]

Sooooooo, when we getting the link for the store for the cameras? /j Love your videos! I love listening to these while cleaning. 😌👍

[@SKraus-pb1ii]

Thanks for your very entertaining channel!

[@tragicantihero1921]

If I may ask, where will you be putting up gear that is for sale! eBay? Thank you.

[@jagwire8671]

thankful for jason setting up a yard sale and selling these cameras for $5

[@taurig]

and there is another option - 2 for $7.99

Never thought i'd live to see the day Jason would sell his Pentax 6x7

[@josephstitt137]

Never thought I’d see the day Jason would sell camera gear

[@griffin.greene]

He's going to make bank. His profit margin on that n8000 will be crazy, since I think he got it for like $10

[@TheSlamdunkstudios]

I think he pick it up for 5 bucks at a thrift shop.

[@joey.leblanc]

Stoked to see what you end up replacing these with. Really sad to see the Pentax 67 go though

[@Kevin-fw3yn]

Yay: Shout out to Ken Rockwell. He's controversial to some, but no one has as much free, useful info on a superbly organized website.

[@SlashCampable]

I wish I had seen a photo of his before I read any of his "reviews". He's such a hack.

[@billpickle2875]

Don't sell the pentax... u will want one again. It will be twice the price u sold it for. Mark my words. I paid 300 bucks for a leica m2 5 Yr ago the m6 was available for 500.

[@HeyItsJono]

Damn, losing that Pentax is an absolute tragedy bro, your videos are what got me inspired to pick one up myself.

[@DoubleJmtz]

I’m thankful for you Jason🙏 thank you for introducing me to film 2 years ago

[@tlm2096]

I found out my AP Lang teacher is in to film photography, so I recommended your channel to him. Needless to say, he hasn't spoken to me since. I think I'm failing his class now. Keep up the good work!

[@sirohartmann]

So that's it? You let go of your Pentax 6x7 just like that?! I'm impressed by your willpower.

[@Rainyfeels]

$100 he has another one in 6 months.

[@Grumpygrumpo]

when u don’t use it, its easy

[@orion7741]

they seem way cooler than they actually are. they are "super cool" until you get one and then start using it.... then its, "meh, I really dont feel like struggling with that huge thing all day". the novelty of it wears off quickly.

[@RobertLeeAtYT]

Pentax 67 or Mamiya 7 for in the field use? Mamiya every time.

[@MitchellRoman97]

I went from having 10 film cameras to only having a Nikon FM2, Pentax 6x7, and a Canon Sure Shot Supreme and it was a wonderfully freeing decision. Having only a couple, prefect, tools lets me focus more on those and not just trying to use a different camera every time for the fun of it. Good luck with your separations, it'll get better.

[@helgebrekke]

I got the M6 because it is a no-extra-features piece of jewellery, and I have a feeling that it would be even more so if I got rid of most of the others gathering dust on the shelf. ... But I'm not gonna do that. Yet, at least.

[@katate13]

I’ve got close to 50 cameras right now and will be downsizing over the next year; I’m both looking forward to it and not. My husband is VERY much looking forward to it.

[@kawamura6706]

I went from having old GDR made Practika to.... same old Practika, because I'm broke student, and this camera gets job done (although sometimes it feels like I'm using piece of concrete block), so why would i buying something else) btw, great choice of cameras

[@da009999]

I'm thankful for Caleb, Jason, and Baxter bringing so much joy to The World.

[@Shane_McLachlan]

Bronica ETRSi. Just get one. Slap the AE-III finder and a 50mm 2.8 PE on it. That system is slept on. Sure it has little gear clout and people don't routinely gush about the lenses achieving enlightenment and curing all the users illnesses like they seem to do with most film lenses these days...but the PE series are very solid lenses. Idk I'm so jaded by the film community and gear clout / lust. I've come full circle. It's time to return to my crusty Canon T70 with a Vivitar 28mm, leaky seals and Foma 400. 😩

[@raze3297]

"The Pentax 6x7 is so bulky and cumbersome" *Laughs in RB67*

[@user-bv7lc4yi6e]

Honest to God never thought I'd see the day you'd get rid of the Pentax. Glad so see you evolving and not being afraid of change.

[@bobmorr2892]

Yes I fell out of love with all film cameras once it cost like 25 to $35 plus to buy my film and get it developed. The original Canon 5D plus several other digital cameras can do just about as good a job or better than most film cameras assuming you know how to use them. I'm not talking about looking at a photo the size of a credit card on Instagram I'm talking about once you take a photograph develop the film scan it edit it print it out then compare it to a Canon 5D which is the only way you can really tell how good it is. I have printed 18x24 and up prints from both film and digital cameras and in my experience the digital cameras were better. Easily sharper and better colors. And could even give medium format a run for its money.

[@mattkromalic5110]

I agree with the 5D. I’ve owned one for more than 5 years and it’s a boss. I also own the X100f and it sit extremely well in the work flow. I would disagree with it giving medium format a run for its money. Film mEdium format is incredibly hard to touch.

[@glemmeren]

Your humor & video editing is amazing. Love it.

[@trueblack6760]

The new M6... that is cool, but I'm pretty sure that you'll keep on searching "my precious" like Gollum.

[@StrangelyIronic]

I don't shoot a lot of film anymore. I'm too cheap to pay for the cost of it when I factor in I could have a new-to-me lens or something for the cost. When I do shoot film, I usually just take my Mamiya 645 Pro TL with 35 and 35mm Panaroma adapted backs. If not that, a Nikon SP (35mm) or Olympus Pen (half frame 35mm). Outside of the 645 Pro Tl, all of my old film cameras came to me in AS-IS condition that I rebuilt in my workshop. I'll pass on Leica when one that looks like it's been through both World Wars, including the beaches of Normandy, is still thousands before I machine the new parts and gather the rest required to resurrect it. M6's aren't terrible for what you get, neither is the glass is if you're committed. Who knows, maybe I'll have one eventually so I can put tape over the red dot and be cool. At least the film cameras are reasonable unlike the 10,000-dollar US M11.

[@PaulNechifor]

Wow, if I owned a Pentax 6x7 I'd sooner give up a leg than the camera. I can only hope that this develops into a trend and more people end up selling their Pentaxes and the price drops to I level I can afford.

[@davidbucci973]

You need to publish. You have great talent, and I get inspired about my film photography every time you post a new vid. Keep doing your work.

[@allen_snapped]

They are going to have to bury me with my Pentax 6x7. There’s no way in hell I can part with it. Uh-uh. No, sir. Not happening ever. I’m quite shocked you’re selling yours. You took some cool ass photos with it. Made me want to get one. This past year, seeing you with that M6 in so many videos did make me go, “uh-oh.”

[@pancakelens75]

I almost bought a Pentax 67 about 5 years ago but ended up picking up a 70’s Fuji GM670 (GW670 predecessor with interchangeable lens). Only an inch wider than a Mamiya 7, shutter is super quiet, it’s a rangefinder and it’s really nice and light. Lens is SUPER sharp, I’ve been super happy with it. Pentax 67 is a rockin camera as well🙏🏼

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Well he got a mamiya 7, I don't think anyone needs more then one 6 x 7

[@allankcrain]

Nice. Since you're selling yours, the supply of Pentax 67s will go up by one and the price will come down!

[@treyusher32]

Oh my god this feels like an episode of a reality show where my favorite character gets eliminated AKA the pentax 6x7 :(

[@nello1591]

I have a feeling Pentax 6x7 prices are gonna start soaring in the coming years.

[@BillyMcBillface]

Jason is starting his nest egg to buy that hello kitty polaroid 600

[@jparsonsfilm]

I hear you in how cumbersome that Pentax67 is. Oddly enough, I found it's a lot easier to wield WITHOUT that sexy wooden handle. The handle makes you think you can bear the weight with one hand and shoot with the other. It's all a lie! You really do need both hands to comfortably take photos with it.

[@Rainyfeels]

+100 I use mine without a handle. Also if you get a waist level finder for it, you can save lots of size and over 500 grams.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Turkey basting has never been this entertaining. I wondered how you would get on with the Makina long-term. I had too many issues with mine to warrant keeping it sadly but she’s a beauty.

[@MH5tube]

I'm coming to the position that online 'discourse'/'content' about analog photography is way way too much about cameras and not enough about lenses. a) Hype has prompted people to drop crazy cash on a mint M6 TTL only to turn around and slap a 7artisans lens on it, which is insanity, and b) Most of us are better served in most situations to buy a new lens for a camera we already own than to get a whole new camera

[@mpk33]

Check out Caleb's new video...😂

[@coatduck]

When flaming hot mountain dew is discontinued, are you going to pound back a roll of Aerochrome to protest until they bring the dew back?

[@AssistantLeaflet]

Have you tried painting? You’d like painting. It’s fun, lots of texture. Texture, shapes and color is the whole point. Oh don’t do acrylic it ruins painting for some people. Can’t do wet on wet without a lot of acrylic prep etc. People mostly moan about the cancer pigments and solvents for mediums. (Use an open window and just use gloves when handling dangerous paints) (Aw naw listen: cadmium and lead paints are amazing, however you can use less toxic paints too but lead stuff and cadmium is literally amazing and would help you get your images out well) Photographers like us have great references for painting. It’s very fun.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Yeah, but how many brushes would he end up with?

[@AssistantLeaflet]

@@mikejankowski6321 depends on the canvas like the size of it all that.

2:50 Jason, I must ask -- are you okay? Must we seek counseling?

[@stephennorcross]

If you don't already have a buyer lined up I'm interested in purchasing your Pentax 6x7 plus the lenses. Send me an email or reply to this comment

[@VariTimo]

I couldn’t tell if your images were shot on half frame or 8x10 when watching your videos while taking a dumb. Because they’re so so small on my iPhone 13 mini’s screen because of the enormous white borders.

[@accountkot7217]

Looks like you’ve finally made up your mind to freeing up some cash for an M11.

[@seanmaxwell3319]

Don’t have to downsize when you only have 1 camera. AE-1 my beloved…

[@robertfaix4029]

Yo I’ll give you $12 for the Pentax 6x7

[@Adilboukind]

I never understood why you bought the Makina when you had the Mamiya 7. If you only had the Pentax 6x7 it would make sens to keep it, but I think you made the right decision

[@mjsvitek]

You're making the same mistake I made 6 years ago: selling the 6x7 ... You'll never forgive yourself.

[@ralph95vip]

We need more 120 backing paper licks 😋 or a compilation

[@hunterowensslc]

Hey how would I send film for you to eventually review? Interested in seeing what your thoughts on Fuji Astia would be.

[@3Gee]

When Jason said he’d be parting with the Pentax 6x7, I couldn’t help but think of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, when Peter broke down watching America’s Next Top Model.

[@michaelsherck5099]

I think it's a good idea to dispose of equipment that you aren't using any more. That's a major difference between photographers and collectors. That said, I'm surprised that you're keeping the 8x10, especially now that you're focusing on 35mm. Also surprised that you're keeping that fscking Budweiser POS. Or are you saving it to put under one of Caleb's tires and shouting "floor it!"?

[@gatsbye53]

Happy Thanksgiving & thanks for dropping a video today!

[@Fran-sr1sb]

How do you do those changing perspective images at the end?

“It literally became my journey into analog superficiality.” - Priceless

[@firstwave8855]

been on the fence with my p67 as well.. for the same reason it’s getting less and less use.. the replacement I’m looking at is mamiya 7 but I’m worried about the electronics failing…

[@jeffreyabelson7171]

With your Mamiya 7 you're making a great choice: how many incredible 67's does a man need?

[@Nolan6096]

Blaha the long and hard comment is fantastic

[@romeskiie]

Jason selling his 6x7 is like seeing your favorite character (in fighting games) get nerfed or your favorite gun (in any FPS game) get nerfed, you have no choice but to move on to the next meta. I actually agree with his choice of cameras to take away. If it's impractical, inaccessible, and inconvenient, don't live with it. Get things that suit your needs.

[@elleoat]

I was almost expecting the AE-1 would be on this list and I would have felt legitimately sad since his video is what got me to buy an AE-1. It is such a good camera but I have been having doubts myself if it is really the camera for me.

[@dcallan812]

I see it more of a rotation thing rather than downsizing. As soon as they've gone, I start looking. Interesting video 2x 👍

[@robertjones1886]

Over the past six months I've also gotten rid of my Pentax 6x7, Nimslo 3D, and an SX-70. They're all fun to shoot in their own ways, but I have mostly been shooting a 6x9 and 6x6 and that seems to be good for me. The Fujica GW690 is probably my favorite.

[@anthonymiller8979]

Watching this as I too am starting to sell some gear......then suddenly I somehow "need" the Pentax Soft lens.....damn you

[@PeekOfYouth]

Sell me your Pentax dawg

[@sebastianrau5780]

You will probably regret to get rid of the Pentax 🤔

[@Von_McKnelly]

I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. I watched/listened to most of the videos you've posted and have found myself "jonesing" for more. It's the monotone voice and the weird sense of humor that's hooked my like a film junky. I've been shooting film for 30 years and know everything about the sultry b*tch. (more or less) Okay, I'll leave it there for now so please do continue with the bad to the bone videos and find some tri-x for god's sake.

[@Stanlyok]

If Jason can do it - so can I! Gotta buy all those cameras first ugh ... :D

[@normansteinmetz643]

I do understand all of your decisions besides the Plaubel. Ok, I live close to Frankfurt and I took my 69W Shift and the Makina 67 to their store right before they shut it down. I will try to convince my uncle to sell me his 67W and the untouched virgin Makina 67 which has never seen a film yet. Just gotta love your local camera brands.

[@Bierce123]

These cameras are so expensive anymore that I’ve been downsized the whole time

[@peterkin1010]

I can see why you sold everything but the Pentax 6x7 . That IMHO was a bkunder...unless you replaced it with😂 a 6x7 II. More a landscape camera it is still unmatched in that area.

[@vraisairs9201]

I know you're not really a tech channel, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on when to use different focal lengths and the advantages of different f stops

[@HudBud4444]

Hey Jason may I inquire about purchasing your Pentax67 lenses/accessories? I love the system so I'd love to give them some TLC with my cam Edit: If you have an ebay or something I don't mind waiting on there lol

[@FamineTheHorsemen]

sir have ou tried the f2 with the 35mm tilt shift lens? if yes would you ever do a video about it ? that would be very swag, cordially.

[@RRsalin]

Modern Polaroid film is SO BAD that I would consider it a scam. Barely usable for "fun" photos with friends, and even that is a stretch...

[@Tsudkyk]

I have owned way too many cameras. I sold about 42 cameras last year and now I have 3 SLRs, 1 645, 1 6x6 and 1 67 camera (plus a dump load of lenses). This is all I will ever need for what I shoot. I found what I love and I sold the rest and used that money for a quality enlarger and darkroom paraphernalia.

[@P12118]

film daddy is back

[@messsucher]

I kinda feel that Im leaning towards 35mm for the ease of use, lower cost, and more obvious film texture too. I have the fuji gw690, and its really more and more obvious why people call it the texas leica. primarily because the ratio is exactly like 36x24, and it legit looks like a 35mm photo unless you zoom to reveal that resolution on the screen.

[@cameronwheatley7065]

The 67 is a beast but so worth it!

[@mkshffr4936]

Landscapes and portraits baby. 🙂

[@Paul020]

@grainydays Jason, think about selling the view cameras too. Perhaps that would allow you to get a lens or two for the TX-1, and Mamiya 7. Think you have a good feel for composition with the TX-1. And maybe there would be some $ left to buy Baxter some biscuits. P.S. I want the Pentax 75mm.

[@XYZ-bi9eb]

Unfortunately, Kodak will never bring back Kodak Color Infrared EIR Slide Film. No other film challenged my creative abilities like this film.

[@conthemar]

OH BOY 12:07PM 🍔 (Happy Thanksgiving Jason

[@stew_redman]

Watching Jason's videos swung my decision to buy a Pentax 6x7 when I did. I only use it in studio or static outdoor shoots. I can't sell it because I would need to buy 3 x 35mm cameras to fill the space it takes up.

[@browntown52]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bLn2uYnaqjg7s just imagine the end of this commercial with Ken Rockwell's name. He is no doubt the og for Internet camera references. Regarding the video above, Were you referencing Jim the hammer Shapiro? I think you're too young, but when I was in college in upstate NY in the 90's, that guy had a commercial on every major network show. Wait for the end for high tech 90s computer animated Hammer.. Oh and you don't use the arca cube head anymore, sell it to me.

[@bekensdwarf8068]

I am starting to realize I might have developed a problem with watching your videos when I could guess what cameras you were getting rid of before you said it. (until the pentax that was devastating)

[@samjones5129]

You should at least keep the other lenses for the Pentax 67 in case you ever pickup another body in the future. Plus since you already have an adapter for the lenses, you can keep using them on the Nikon. That’s a system you will 100% regret selling.

[@TheJeffWing]

The real question of this video though: Will every prospective new owner of these babies be served a Faustian contract that forces them to contribute to the Flaming Hot Mountain Dew Challenge?

[@xxGravyBabyxx]

Most overrated camera is the Pentax 67. Most photographers regret buying one after a few months because of how expensive medium format film is.
