Is Medium Format Film Better Than 35mm? | Leica M6 & Mamiya 7

#filmphotography #leicam6 #photographytips
Is medium format film better than 35mm film and can you even tell the difference? I recently was out in Yosemite and took photos on my Leica m6 and Mamiya 7 to compare if there really is a difference.

came for the comparison, stayed for the awesome story time, lovely vibes and amazing pictures! appreciate the content, bro

[@geneyoon11]

My guy thanks man!

[@KromerMedia]

Gene! I freaking love this! This whole story time/ Yosemite trip sounds like an absolute blast! Love both the 35mm and 120 film. I can't pic which is better but I love how different they all are. Hope you are doing well! You are freaking awesome!

[@geneyoon11]

My guy! Thanks so much man I appreciate it! Haha same dude it was fun to pair the two together. Hope you're doing well too!

[@davidm5790]

The first 5 minutes were a bit too long

[@geneyoon11]

Hope you watched it through!

[@shua_films]

Great "Story Time Vlog w/Gene" lol loved it!

[@geneyoon11]

Thanks man! Hoping to make more videos like this.

[@Narsuitus]

Thanks for the video. When I shoot film landscapes, I have the following equipment options: Leica M6 35mm rangefinder with 21/35/90mm lenses. Contax G1 35mm rangefinder with 21/28/45/90mm lenses. Fuji 6x7cm medium format rangefinder with fixed 90mm normal lens. Fuji 6x9cm medium format rangefinder with fixed 65mm wide-angle lens. In my opinion, my medium format film images are better than my 35mm. However, the 35mm film equipment is so much easier to transport.

[@geneyoon11]

That’s super rad!

[@injeolmi6]

I did enjoy the opening clip. Thanks!

[@geneyoon11]

Heck yeah!

Goon is now your official condensed name.

[@geneyoon11]

I shall accept it...since it's appropriate haha. Now I want to see a full video on the photos you took out in Yosemite!

[@benjhaisch]

@@geneyoon11 it’s on its way! Haha

[@geneyoon11]

@@benjhaisch that's what I'm talking about let's go!

[@Analogbrain]

Interesting video. Using five minutes to say you went to Yosemite is a bit to much though. And then there's allways, would it be better with a Canon or Nikon SLR than the Leica, and what if you used another film, E100, for instance. But still, interesting video, and nice work.

[@geneyoon11]

Thanks!

[@Hex_pinkeye]

I would agree that while the whole story is cool, i just wanted to see the comparison seeing as that’s what your video is titled so I ended up skipping the first five minutes, kind of like a ‘tldr’ kinda thing. Whether it would be better with a Canon , Nikon or Leica is a separate point, the other point to make is what lens is used with any system. Unless I missed something, the only thing mentioned was a 28mm on the m6. I’m assuming it was a Leica 28mm? Constructive criticism, please don’t take offence

[@KeeeeenW]

I feel like the Mamiya 7 photos look so much better. Maybe it’s the matter of the square format or simply because each 120mm film costs more, or just the fact that I have seen too many Leica M6 images I took myself and would like to get into 120 photography.

[@geneyoon11]

For sure the medium format photos are sharper and the colors are 👌🏻

[@kellyshin234]

DANGGG!!!! This looks amazing!!! Absolutely breathtaking!

[@geneyoon11]

thanks fam :)

[@srad.]

I've always heard that rain on your wedding day is good luck soo those rain sprinkles are a good thing! love your method of storytelling, excellent work here!

[@geneyoon11]

That means the world, thanks so much

Love the content mate! Looks like I'm your 6000th sub, congrats on the milestone

Let's go! Thanks so much for the kind words and the sub!

Y'all shooting all that fire in a National Park 🤨 Very hazardous

[@geneyoon11]

@@geneyoon11 hope we don't jet lost and have to roujh it in the woods

[@dylanhill1640]

Medium Format is my film of choice. I process my own 35mm and Medium Format which still bring me joy.

[@geneyoon11]

Exactly how I feel about it

[@CleverSupplyCo]

I like these photos you took, Gene ❤️

[@geneyoon11]

haha thanks brother!

[@reyrey5250]

Awesome video! Which 28 lens on the M6?

[@geneyoon11]

voightlander ultron version 1!

[@skr1b]

awesome video man! What neck strap is on your m6?

[@geneyoon11]

It’s the short strap from clever supply! I actually have a referral link if you’re interested 🤘🏻

[@wlnr7737]

Love the video!! Really incredible

[@geneyoon11]

Appreciate it!

[@mydearriley]

was the town out near Hood River perhaps?

[@geneyoon11]

It was!

[@javixo1997]

Would love to see some close ups, to compare sharpness and detail. I have the 7 in my mind but I’m not sure about it, is it actually much better than 35mm?

[@geneyoon11]

Will definitely have to! 100% there's more resolution for sure between medium format and 35mm!

[@davidselby8115]

Both cameras were great

[@geneyoon11]

agreed!

[@michaelbernetediaz]

are those neg lab pro DSLR scans?

[@geneyoon11]

Yes they are!

[@KNURKonesur]

It obviously IS better and it obviously ISN'T better. Depends on what you use it for.

[@geneyoon11]

Definitely agree on use case as well!

[@StevenSchultz]

I LOVE YOU GENE YOU ARE SO GOOD

[@geneyoon11]

But I love you more

haha thanks stoked you enjoyed it!

YES SIR!

[@ohhimark8028]

4:50 skip bullshit button bro used half the video to say he went to yosemite to shoot a portrait session lmao

[@geneyoon11]

you're not wrong

[@roiloubia4483]

1. You talked more about the wedding than about photography. 2. There is nothing to compare, as there is no technical information provided on how the shots were taken with both cameras. No exact information on the lenses used (28mm,for Leica M6, and 80mm for the Mamiya) isn't enough. No information on how the scenes were metered..Conclusion, there is nothing to compare..Sorry to say that the pictures were not that impressive, you can get that with a cheap point and shoot..I hope you won't get offended by my critic..it just the reality,and hope this will help you to improve. Said that, good luck in your landscape photography journey.

[@geneyoon11]

Appreciate the feedback, man. Always good to see different perspectives and keep learning and growing

[@roiloubia4483]

@@geneyoon11 I am very glad that you took my critic the right way..and appreciate your attitude. I made a lot of mistake in my landscape photography. The progress I made is by listening to my friends who critized my work..that was a big help..and still I have a lot to learn..just keep shooting and with your attitude I am certain that you will succeed..I wish you all the best and lot of joy in your photography.
