Accidently spends $2k

Jaret Foster found one for 1600 🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@beyondbola9317]

I got mine for 800, ended up returning it though, had some issues

[@TheWutangclan1995]

After looking at those prices I’m gonna have to open a water bottling factory and cry into them to make a profit in order to buy a Leica M6 with a lens.

[@francisbombus3949]

So many good shots...each picture by itself. They'd be good for a book.

[@jeh0193]

ugh i can never get enough of your photography, joe! & btw the BGM slaps so hard lol so good

[@alex_gaarciaa]

The colors that come out of this film stock is amazing! Another great video Joe!

[@DavidBirchphoto1.]

I love the colours and atmosphere from the dive motel images.

[@damirzrno6445]

man these pasteltones are on point, wow ! amazing pics man. keep those clips coming !

[@user-pp8zd2rg6e]

So incredibly good. Please keep doing film vids, I’m really enjoying them fr fr

[@paulvisuals9335]

The vibe in your videos is simply unmatched!

[@michaelbahu2528]

Loving these videos Joe! Your definitely one of my favorite photographers and the reason I got into the Leica system. This type of video is really great because it’s fun to get to see and hear your process as you shoot some really beautiful photos. Thank you for continuing to be consistent in posting these I know it’s a lot of work but it’s great content you got a knack for it 👍🏻

[@kinglear5952]

He is very talented, I agree.

[@theharveydean]

Did anybody else find it hilarious that it said “no diving” at the dive bar? Or was that just me? 😂

[@danielfeatherstone674]

no

[@Adilboukind]

Because you should not dive at a dive bar

Love that you’re getting more into KZbin Joe! Keep up the great work!

Great video again Joe, Keep up your inspiring work vids!

Such a photogenic place the photos were amazing ☺ great vid 😊

[@frslas]

Those old school motels are the best. I try to stay at those kinds of motels when I'm on the road. So much more interesting than a Quality Inn. Great pictures!

[@MatthiasJBarker]

Fantastic video bro, feels like a different era. Keep it up!

[@Loonboy82]

Wow so many great pics. Some of those from the pool remind me David Hockney paintings

[@enggaravicenna]

love how you handle the pro400H!!! dope imagesss!!!

[@AlexIvory]

So glad these are back

[@erikrodriguez2615]

I don't usually comment but i just wanted to say I love your videos, keep it up!

[@AnthonySchnitzel]

This location is.. wow I'm speechless. Compare 35mm and 120, what a great idea. If you have a good lens, 35mm can really do the job. Also the form factor is often forgotten. Medium format is... big, too big often for a daily carry.

[@etjernlund]

I have a Leica MP and a Mamiya 7II and I think I agree mostly with this conclusion. Both are amazing film cameras and I love them dearly, but I tend to reach for the Leica more often than the Mamiya. Maybe it's size, but to me the Mamiya also feels more precious, less sturdy (I haven't snapped off the film-changing-curtain lever yet though-like sooo many other people have ... ) The Mamiya also becomes more unwiedly when you use any other lens than the 65mm and the 80mm, due to the 43mm and the 50mm working better when using the external viewfinders (let's not talk about the 210mm which I suspect is some kind of Mamiya engineer department prank ... ) I love the 50mm and the viewfinder is great, but that's one more piece of fragile glass thingy to worry about ... I've managed to damage the Mamiya once when I used the panoramic adapter (which morphs the 7II into a 35mm XPan alternative ... )-the film advance was damaged somehow. Very scary, until I found a great former professional Mamiya repair person who took the camera apart and fixed it. But ... jesus ... I'm not complaining ... it's such a luxury to be able to use both of these amazing cameras.

[@jdouguspsa]

stepping up the edits i see uuuu, very smoove

[@bnazap]

Pretty amazed at how soft but defined the Mamiya is. Incredible exposures and compositions on those, Joe.

[@pablovi77]

That location is amazing! And I’d rather shoot 6x7 than 35mm, any day of the week.

[@metalfingersfilm]

incredible joe! inspiring for my own films and photos going forward!

[@lesliemonk9730]

Hey Joe! I love your style of photography and how much you use film. :) I am starting to buy some photo equipment and was curious as to what kind of tripods you like using. I'm really enjoying the weekly videos-- lots of great info.

[@dunerino892]

nice! the fuji pro400h really gives some fine, lush colors!

[@seanshannon1800]

Beautiful images! I'm also tending to prefer Fuji 400h these days. Love the colours it gives!

[@GattaoraStudios]

The pool photos especially and the colours remind me of David Hockney and William Eggleston so much

[@accidentaltones9176]

Cool shots! Really digging those fuji tones.

[@ChipmunksFreak]

That’s some real 70’s vibe going on, amazing pics! What do you use to scan the photos? Pro Lab or flatbed?

[@HANandSOL]

Amazing shots 🤭 really love the color

[@michaelbennettphoto]

yes joe! I love videos like these!

[@alvaritomakevideos4835]

Love al the photos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nnelgsiggah]

Very cool 😎 you both looked as if you stepped straight into the seventies! As for the cameras...both amazing. I got the feeling that you shoot the M6 way more than Mamiya generally.

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

if you play this at 1.5x the background music becomes a BOP so try that the second time you watch it after you watch it normal speed first.

[@patrickbrio2896]

What a great video and images!

[@MB-or8js]

I saw briefly that you also added something on top of the M6 rangefinder window - I do the same to reduce the patch flare with this camera.

[@antoninolongo9774]

Joe first of all, amazing Channel even if you just restarted it. I have a question, you said you overexposed the film for 1 Stop. Does that mean you pulled the film and at the lab you indicated it as 200 instead of 400. Or you just gave it to them and they process it as it was rated (iso400). I am a bit confused about the push and pull thing. I want to recreat that look but don't know how. Would be cool to have a video about that topic. Thanks man keep inspiring us !!!

[@10Outta10Baby]

Man you should have gotten a photo of your wife with the cherry in that video pan. So much red. Unreal stuff man, can't believe how well your colours come out.

[@erwnalejo]

Killed it again joe sheesh

[@timmyd999]

Last time I came this early i didn't have kids...

[@soulstart89]

Cool video bro. I have a question. With your night shots how did you Meyer? Incident meter bulb facing away from light to where your camera was on the tripod?

[@Kokorba6iqta]

Do you make any post-production on the colors which look absolutely gorgeous or are they like this from the camera (and film of course)?

[@akathatguy]

What a timely video! I was JUST debating selling my mamiya 7 for a leica m6, as I currently own a rz67 as well.

[@kinglear5952]

Sell the RZ you have the two best ever cameras.

[@atribecalledfilm]

This is a vibe

[@gui4j]

Nice shoots dude , like to see the stills , they looked very even between cameras ..

Great video as usual! This makes me want to try the Fuji 400H

Asher Huskinson really impressed. i love portra but fuji hitting right

[@lyfeofajet]

@@ioegreer just hate that price increase tho

[@patrickhennigs4501]

[@Richardsumilang]

Are all your leica shots with the 35 cron? Lovely btw, I gotta try that fuji 400!

[@JP1050x]

Nice photos! Pro 400H only really needs +1 stop over exposure so it’s a little less grainy. I shoot it the same way I do with Portra 400.

[@selah2613]

needed this,legit torn between the two rn

[@matthijsdevisser8525]

Joe is hands down one of the most interesting leica photographers out there

[@tuoxie1235]

Hi! What lens were you using on that M6? Thanks!

[@deaky5380]

what film did you use? i might've missed it in the video :))

[@MrKayDeeTV]

When you say overexpose do you mean with your iso? Or are you also overexposing with your aperture settings?

[@GhosTigre]

Where did you get your light meter from?

[@jesiahatkinson7124]

so good

[@ValentinBarx]

hi, u never use a flash even at night ? how do u do ?

[@bringo4392]

Im amazed that he got that close to the water with the m6 lol. Anyways, i think that the mamiya is good for certain situations. like i would use it when i have a clear goal of what im shooting because of the 10 shots. This bar/motel reminds me of Stephen Shores work, or William Egglestons work. Plus i love anything with a 60's 70's type vibe.

[@chrismcmullan8214]

so sick dude

[@jcwncurtis]

hey Jo, could you tell us what kind of film do you use ? thanks

[@nickjoyce2484]

Nice stuff Joe, although I personally prefer a bit of narrative behind the thought process behind the photos. Appreciate the time to make/upload the video regardless. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@ioegreer]

Nick Joyce noted ✨🙏🏼

[@JCarlos.unknown]

Great 70s images. How did you do light metering? (I'm new to film)

[@davidhunt9692]

Joao Carlos both of these cameras have internal light meters but he used some kind of Sekonic for the portraits.

[@JCarlos.unknown]

@@davidhunt9692 Ok, thanks.

[@SimoshChannel]

Filter link plz

[@elliottdesai]

damn! this is a far more entertaining way to view your photography

[@srad.]

that motel is sick

[@JoeSmith-hd7kk]

leica m6 or contax g2?

[@maximvdn]

Asking your opinion on it. Looks like Leica M6 is the only 35mm camera that's close in terms of quality of image than MF? I love MF but want a good 35mm for daily use. Been disappointed by my pentax K1000, Minolta x700 & all point and shoots i tried

[@negativezerocool2518]

Did you travel back in time for this location? 😂

[@ernestjoblues]

which light meter r u using?

[@atribecalledfilm]

Keep going !!!

[@Zetaphotography]

Medium Format vs 35mm?

[@YABUNATION]

Close to my (former and inferior) combo haha. Had a Leica M5 that I loved and my “daily” is a Mamiya 6 that I will probably lee forever. Fuckin love the thing

[@yosoyadae]

How exactly do you over expose medium format? (I use a Mamiya RB67 Pro-S)

[@carlosgrajeda1986]

Rasheed Ingram overexposing is simply shooting your film as if it were a lower ISO than it actually is. For example when shooting Portra 400, shooting it as if it was ISO 200 would be overexposed by 1 stop, shooting as if it was ISO 100 would be 2 stops overexposed. As you can see by overexposing in the examples from the video, you get a lot more detail in the shadows and none of the shadows actually look dark.

[@yosoyadae]

@@carlosgrajeda1986 so basically with my Mamiya Rb67 Pro s I would just meter for iso 100 instead of iso 400 and when I take it for development I just say "hey I pulled two stops"?

[@carlosgrajeda1986]

Rasheed Ingram you don’t need to tell the lab anything, that’s how it ends up being overexposed, because they will develop it for what the film is rated at. They will develop like normal and your film will be overexposed because you shot it at a lower ISO. Pushing is when you tell your lab, when you shoot at a higher ISO then what the film is rated for, for example shoot Portra 400 at 800 or 1600 iso, that’s when you want to tell the lab to push it a stop or 2 otherwise the photos come out dark because they were not exposed enough. In a situation where you want to overexpose as long as you shot at a lower ISO than what the film is rated, you don’t need to worry about how it is developed, it will be overexposed, the lab will process it normally and you’ll get that overexposed look with more detail in the shadows.

[@carlosgrajeda1986]

Rasheed Ingram didn’t meant to confuse you by the long explanation. Long story short, for the overexposed look, shoot the film at a lower ISO then what the film actually is and just get developed like normal.

[@Mickaelplqn]

Are you in manual mode to shoot at night with mamiya 7?

What lens do you use for the Leica?

[@krisgratze5828]

yes yes yes.

[@gilesjazzguitar64]

great

[@GeoffreyThomasGonzales]

just a little tip - try not to cut on the beat, focus on syncopation

[@samsstreets8684]

geoffrey why?

[@laurencegoldman4639]

The reason you can’t compare the two cameras is because you never side by side shoot the same image with each camera.

[@kendrasananikone]

hello joe

[@venerkharisov4719]

I see no big differences in these pictures between 2 cameras. If you dont want to print huge photographs for commercial, 35 mm is your choice.

[@NJ1810]

I really enjoyed all of these photos. But I don't understand why we need a direct comparison (in a vs.-format) of two inherently different cameras. Apples and oranges. You should first ask yourself if you want to shoot 35mm or medium format. Then you can start comparing cameras within those formats. A 6x7 negative is more than four times as big as a 35mm negative. If you reached for the Leica more often than the Mamiya because it is smaller and gets more pictures out of a roll of film then you are just choosing 35mm over medium format. By that logic you could have also reached for a Pentax K1000. In the end I think this video is merely a demonstration of two of the most expensive film cameras out there.
