That yakuza snippet was SUPER interesting! Usually we hear about them in pop culture and they're compared to Italian mafia or Mexican cartels but it seems like they're wildly different in real life. I'd love to see a video going more in depth about them!

Excellent introduction to the SLR and Rangefinder world of cameras. Lovely all black Canon 7. Enjoyed the gangster story to begin the episode. It’s a different culture for sure.

I always enjoy listening to your comments and descriptions of the place you were filming. But this time, you go a step further, and it is most interesting everything you explained about that side of the Japanese culture. Great video. About the cameras, there are situations for both. I have a 7S and an A1, and both are a joy to shoot with, so some time I pick one, sometimes the other, and I adapt my shooting secession to the camera I carry.

I think the true star of the show here is the little screw mount 35mm F2. It is basically glued to all my cameras since I've got it last year. I'm even using it on my Leica M film and Fuji digital cameras even though I have some way more expensive modern alternatives. It's just fantastic. Now I want a black Canon 7 for it.

Yes please, could you do a video on the Yakuza and Japanese society in general. Thanks for this video

I prefer rangefinder, because of the more compact body and usually shoot in 35mm or 50mm. That said, I still keep some SLRs for few cases cannot be handled by RF, like zoom lens, macro lens, etc.

F1 is gone now too! Great video and congrats to whoever got it!. I'd love to see you compare the medium format rangefinders you have right now. The 6.45 Semi Leotax and the Mamiya 6 you have for sale have both been very intriguing to me!

Development of the 35 mm SLR Russian: Спорт (Sport) The first 35mm prototype SLR was the "Filmanka" developed in 1931 by A. Min in the Soviet Union.[4] In 1933 A.O. Gelgar developed the "GelVeta" also in the USSR, later renamed Спорт ("Sport").[5] "Sport" was a very smart design with a 24mm × 36mm frame size, but, according to some sources, it did not enter the market until 1937,[6] although there is now some evidence emerging that "Sport" may have been in limited production before 1936. Therefore, it is claimed not to be the first mass-produced 35mm SLR.

Really Interesting video. I have the same combo =D The Canon 7 I use it everyday to document my family or the city. With the right glass it's the perfect camera, no need to drop $3k for a Leica, IMHO. My F-1 i use it for special projects and assignments given that I have more options available in terms of lenses.

Definitely would love to try a rangefinder without investing the money required to get in to Leica though.

Interesting video of Japanese culture. Personally, I would vote for the SLR for beginners and the range finder for more advance users. SLR's offer more lens choices and ranges to explore at a reasonable price. Range finders are a more niche experience in my opinion.

I prefer Canon Leica screw mount RF in V and VI to their SLR offerings, thought the F1 and F1-N are Canon's best SLR, and the FTb are also superb. In SLR, I like mechanical and manual Nikon/Nikkormat models in SLR. And own a Nikomat FTn, Nikkor 50 mm/f1.4 lens, and my Canon RF is an L1/Canon 50 mm/f2.8.

I’m curious why there was a detailed explanation of the focusing ‘issues’ on the SLR but not the RF? My only RF camera has been a Leica CL. Its focussing patch was small and dim, making it frustrating and inaccurate. Compared to the SLR’s I’ve used the focussing method on the RF is its Achilles heel. I also struggle with the what-you-see-is-maybe-what-you-get RF window rather than the SLR viewfinder. Or has my experience been tainted by the CL?

I've heard stories that the Yakuza gives more money in relief aid for tsunamis and other natural disasters than the Japanese government does. And they make it a point to give more than the Japanese government. It's also one thing that nearly all Yakuza families agree on.

Rangefinder is much better for focusing in dim condition. but for composition and framing wise SLR are much better.

Hello, I have just watched your video on the Yashica rangefinder G series and I have a Yashica MG-1 I have looked at a few of these and the shutter mechanism looks virtually the same, does the MG 1 have the Pod as I have several as a collector and 1 that is in reasonable condition, won’t fire the shutter, however with the top off I have discovered that the plate that travels down doesn’t push the mechanism down enough, but if I press on the plate itself, bypassing the shutter release, the shutters leaf actuates, is it a case of placing a pad underneath the shutter mechanism? I thank you in advance and I think from your description that the little leather strips would be best option, perhaps those that you can fit on the camera strap loops with the little slits in are the correct thickness. Regards David

Have you ever encountered a problem with bronica ec cameras where the shutter sticks open, but only on 2 speeds. 1/30th and 2s. I'm scared my electronics might be going out.

I don't mind Leica I'm as vulnerable to desire them as anyone But I have to remember if anything goes wrong or needs repair the bill for it may be too beyond consideration and could end up with just a relic To put in your expensive display cabinet Hey I got a Leica It's dead😂 But potentially Leicas and lenses are good long term investment

What you need to do is to combine both subjects and take photos OF the Yakuza. I'm maybe not saying it seriously.

Please make a video on the Yakuza. Great video though. For street photography I definitely prefer rangefinder but for almost everything else the slr is more convenient.
