[@sofiaemm7404]

She’s soo gooooood!!! And the shots are such a mood so, you already know what I think 😂💕💕😂

[@MKRShoots]

Thanks Sofiaaaa 🖤🖤🖤

[@photomaster1]

First, thank you for taking the time to show your style on this platform, second KEH I've picked up a few cameras from them from excellent to bargain, and each one works without any issues on the camera side. I love the story sometimes I feel wild and buy cameras on eBay 90% of the time from stores overseas yeah the shipping is a downer but the cameras work great. and last you should look at Nick Carver's youtube as far as a fix for your camera I had the same issue with three of my cameras which I didn't get from stores. As for cameras, I have Mamiya 645 supers yeah more than one, and a Mamiya 645 AFD which I got by mistake due to not reading the posting. I've been into film cameras for a bit and enjoy most of the cameras I came across and I hope you stick with it enjoy the ride sometimes you feel a bump but don't let that discourage you from shooting your art.

[@MKRShoots]

Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions!

[@kamillebest5152]

Loved these shots! They may not have been what you wanted, but the overall vibe was on.

[@MKRShoots]

I appreciate it, Kamille!

[@Havenotats]

That's so unfortunate I can understand the frustration :( Nice to find your channel though! The images + video footage definitely has a nice and playful vibe :) (Fellow photographer on youtube) p.s. I love the mamiya 645 btw

[@MKRShoots]

I really appreciate it!! Your channel is awesome! Absolutely subbed!

[@MKRShoots]

AND Mamiya 645 is a beauty!

[@Havenotats]

[@Havenotats]

I have been waiting

Nice photos

[@MKRShoots]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dhartful1]

The model killed it

[@MKRShoots]

I agree! She's amazing!

[@LucyLumen]

Oh man that sucks about the camera you must have been shattered those things are expensive too! Photos still look beautiful though and the video is awesome especially doing it on your own. Also yesssss to not having a camera bag haha me either they are always so ugly. 🤣

[@MKRShoots]

I was absolutely shattered since it wasn't an "intentional blur" buuuut I'm just glad I saw it now rather than later! And thank you so much! Maybe I just need to bring a little tripod 😊 So glad I'm not the only one who thinks camera bags are hideous!

I like your take on the Super. I have about 6 (M645) series Also a few that are for parts. I have repaired three of my cameras. I was just wondering if you have gotten that camera fixed. Also, I know that is NY but processing just three rolls of film is robbery. OK, it's business but that is to the extreme. Everyone has to pay bills and make money, but No. I stopped sending my film years ago, and I am not a professional. All of my processing is done at home. And now with the digital application, I can scan anything with my setup. If have gotten that camera fixed please let me know and I will see what I can do. If needs be the part can be made and printed in 3d, which I can do also. I have designed and created a battery box for my M645 power winder. All I need to do is get the electrical items and put it together. I will check your website out in the meantime.

[@MKRShoots]

Wow! That's amazing! I found a 3D printer and I got my mirror stop finally fixed. I def need to develop myself now that I have the space!

[@j.k5654]

I love the shoot. I can imagine your frustration. Head up.

[@MKRShoots]

Thanks so much! Yea, it was really a bummer. Lesson learned!

[@danielgrant9103]

Also, check with Sanford Camera Repair in Arlington Ma. They may be able to help

[@MKRShoots]

Thank you! I'll hit them up!

[@TheFilmFellow]

Nick Carver did a video on this. He found someone who 3D prints the stops. Hope that helps and yes always a bummer. Still a cool video!

[@MKRShoots]

Thanks for the recommendation! Yes, I've watched it and yes I've fixed it! I will do a video on some things I had to change for my camera's issue!

[@danielgrant9103]

Solid Images, and I really enjoyed the black and white set. However, $72 to scan + dev is expensive. $30+ for black and white is worse. Especially when chems are so affordable. Have you considered moving towards developing your own film or at the very least scanning it yourself?

[@MKRShoots]

It is sooo expensive!! I hurt everything I see that money slip away from my hands! I definitely plan on developing and scanning myself but the way our apartment is set up here in Lower East Side.....I don't have space and I def need space for it. Preferably somewhere not so dusty!

[@MKRShoots]

Alsoo, the BW set is also my fave! Thank you!

[@daveshannonphotography]

Hi. Check out the video by Nick Carver on this exact problem. He used a company that made the part on a 3D printer. Easy fix then for camera repair shops. Regards Dave.

[@MKRShoots]

Thanks!! I watched Nick Carvers video like 10 thousand times! I finally got my part and actually fixed it. I wanna share a video on how I did and the specifics since my camera issue was different. Cheers!!

[@daveshannonphotography]

@@MKRShoots that’s great. Look forward to seeing it.

[@zeecnla]

i feel your pain. it is so expensive. i be having rolls finished until i get paid to scan them lol.

[@MKRShoots]

I hear that!!

[@thierrygillard6896]

Broken mirror stop is a chronic disease for this kind of camera that ruins alignment of the mirror for a proper focusing. Sorry for you. Have you tried finding someone who can 3D print the part to replace? Like here for instance: jaredlichtenbergerphoto.com/blog/mamiya-645-pro-mirror-stop-repair (I do not know the website, just a quick google search).

[@MKRShoots]

Yes! I managed to find the template and got it 3D printed. I will post a video on it soon!

@@thierrygillard6896 lol!!

[@dereklitvak4846]

$72 for scanning and developing 😳. I think you need a new lab. And maybe consider scanning at home either either a film scanner or digital camera. I felt pain when you said $72. 😭😭😭

[@dereklitvak4846]

Also, I’d totally report the eBay seller to get your money back. Selling broken gear as basically unused is unacceptable.

[@MKRShoots]

It hurt me in the gut letting go of $72! I do want to develop and scan myself but I need a bigger space for it. NYC isn't necessarily known for big apartments, lol!

[@MKRShoots]

And yes, I am trying to figure out how I can do that right now. I didn't even share that the film back was cracked. He gave me a $200 for a cracked film back BUT now, I think I'm gonna need more of my money back!
