[@santoshpareek9031]

Really mamiya 6 is a lovely camera fine details in low light conditions, wonderful, S,K,Pareek, Bhawanimandi ,Raj, India

Martin, I’ve been reading the previous comments and I couldn’t agree more. I love shooting film with my vintage cameras. Of course medium format is the way to go.

[@russellyoung2852]

Words of wisdom regarding fixed focal lengths, Martin. And a superb choice of camera. You were batting 100% in difficult conditions, kudos, such evocative images.

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

You're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT ! Because of YOU and your channel, I am putting my darkroom back together... I have had it since about 2001. I started taking photos with a homemade pinhole camera back then. I photographed my tiny Son going off to kindergarden in his Bear Slippers... and my film photography journey was filming his entrance into the World, and everyday he grew up... Now he's at University and I am alone and missing him... so I thought I would put my darkroom back into shape and print his entire life. I have the time now. This will be my gift to him and HIS Family someday, to be able to see their Dad's entire life in pictures. I do love you walking around and taking photos...and the GREAT CALMING MUSIC... LOVE IT. Keep doing what you are doing.... Greg

Thanks, you are welcome

Beautiful work! Love the tree stone wall photograph. But all frames are great. I receive a Mamiya Six tomorrow, so can’t wait to go out!!

[@PedroE1112]

Well Martin, with me your purpose of making these videos have be accomplished. I am fully motivated to go out regardless of the condition of the day. Keep up with these videos, I like them a lot.

[@martinhensonphotography]

thank you appreciate your comment

[@derekperkins7343]

Medium formt film? Nostalgic tears running down my face. Stop it! No don't. Lovely images and memories. It's amazing what you've made of a very ordinary day and simple subjects.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Lol thank you, dint mean to make you cry

[@ledesclos5321]

Beautiful. I love misty day photos. I enjoy walking with you. You are an inspiration.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@darrelltheriault5793]

Thanks Martin. I love your approach and your appreciation for the images film can create.

[@DEEPDIVERever]

Very expressive, atmospheric photos.

[@franciscovarela7127]

I like your images too.

[@Graemenicol]

Underrated camera. I suspect the sheer variation in design (and quality) between models makes them difficult for buyers/sellers to identify. Some of the later models are among the best folding cameras made. I have the IVb model from 1955.

[@fepatton]

You have a great eye. Those images are wonderful! It's good to see the little Mamiya is up to the task. I've been considering one of these for a while, but every time I'm ready to press "Buy", I have second thoughts!

[@gregwostrel8124]

wonderful video, thanks. the photos are lovely, too.

[@espenbjrkvold5119]

Lovely moody images. I often find it very inspiring shooting in those kind of conditions. With fog and mist and wet nature. With the snow; however, I find it very difficult to get inspired. Your images here are very inspiring

[@Leicashootr]

A great example of a Master Photographer showing his qualities without showing any hint of pride! I'm glad I was able to learn trough this video from this gentleman, thanks again Martin, respect ‼️👍🏻🙏🏻

[@alfredbarten4901]

Beautiful pics. It's dull weather with character (i.e., mist). Perfect conditions for incident light meter, which I don't have. I'm thinking I could simulate one by pointing my cell phone meter app at the neutral grey card in my pocketable Kodak Master Photoguide (1971).

[@hamish5214]

Moody shots! Aesthetically pleasing...

[@RobMacKillop1]

Beautiful images, Martin. Love your sensitive photography. I have a bellowed Mamiya 6 like yours, but it’s broken, in need of a some attention by someone who knows what they are doing, i.e. not me!

[@alpcns]

Exceptional work, very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!

[@turbopanzer]

Always cool to see someone else using the Mamiya folders. Nice shots as well.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Yea nice camera to use , thanks

[@BarwickGreen]

Beautiful atmospheric images

[@actionimagesphotography]

Last of the summer wine photography show. Love it!

[@redone2612]

Great photos, please don't stop making the videos, you are an inspiration my favourite youtube channel.

[@davidpipeline]

When I saw some of the scenes you where going to shoot, I could not imagine how you would make it work on such a dull, damp and foggy day. The outcome was amazing.👍Thanks for for the tip about shape and texture.

[@thomaspopple2291]

Thank you for the great content. Shooting that "B" roll would wear me out.

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

@15.28 on the left bottom there are a couple of small trees which makes an amazing image.. love all the shots..

[@jiml989]

Trifecta: informational, enjoyable, and inspirational!

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thank you, appreciate your comment,

[@k4zzt650]

Great video, thanks for not overdoing the background music and letting us hear the camera

[@martinhensonphotography]

Your welcome, thank you

[@billanderson2496]

Inspirational video! I live in Brisbane, Australia and the weather is similar at the moment, I watched this and went out with my dog and my camera. Unfortunately it started raining so I didn't get any pictures but I enjoyed the walk!

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thank you

[@user-is4jf8yr4z]

Beautiful countryside. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thanks

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

Also, the medium format folders are also my favorite. I have Agfa Isolette's and Agfa Record III's. New Bellows by Sandeha Lynch in the UK... Fantastic Medium Format in a Pocket ! I use both cameras with a screw in Monopole.. Keeps my shots steady and also doubles as a walking stick.

[@blobbicus]

Enjoyed the video. Having been looking at buying one of these cameras. Your results were excellent.

[@petesymes8291]

One word, Inspirational!

[@ElevenTwentyThreePostMeridiem]

what an incredibly good video impressive keep up the work!

[@stevenpam]

Hi Martin from Melbourne, Australia. I have the same model Mamiya 6 as you. Haven't put a roll through it for a little while, so I'm encouraged by your video to do so! Thanks

[@adammarkowski790]

Great work again, dear Martin! Very inspiring!

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

After watching this video I dug out my folding cameras 📸. Thank you. Good pics There’s nothing like film. Though I do love my Pentax K1 K5.and K 10D lol

[@jt4369]

This is beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Hansen. I have this exact Sekonic meter and I’m glad to see a real master using it in the field.

[@lensman5762]

You have a good eye to pick out interesting compositions. Adding a light blue filter in those conditions can help with accentuating the mist and fog effect. Enjoyed your video very much.

[@stevebendelack3935]

Very lovely photographs Martin.Such a lovely camera as well.And so portable.I really want one.Brilliant work.

[@sameerrao5834]

Such an inspirational video. And the pictures are absolutely gorgeous!!

[@fotolookconde]

I really enjoy using my folding camera. I have a Seagull that can shoot 4.5x6 and 6x6. Actually I have a few videos with it in my channel! Love the fog atmosphere!

[@TheGermanCompounder]

Great images and compositions! Enjoyed watching :)

[@mistyarea4512]

images you took are really amazing

[@BillMcCarroll]

Beautiful images Martin proving as you said that weather can be your friend. Maybe next time you could do a vlog with your Rollei, love that camera.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thank you, I will be using the Rollei at some stage for another vid

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

Indeed inspiring to see you so passionate at this age... really inspired.

[@dherring44]

Your videos are quite inspiring. Thank you 😊

[@fgj4990]

I always love how you make pictures out of things most others would just walk by. Marvellous!

[@martinhensonphotography]

Your to kind, thank you

[@polutropos]

Another great video Martin. Keep em coming!

[@martinhensonphotography]

I will try , thanks

[@thierryfontaine7210]

Touching and powerful landscapes of Yorkshire! Very, very nice video. Are you always metering incident light even if you shoot a large area like these ones?

[@martinhensonphotography]

Yes I an used to how the meter works and it never seems to fail, thank you

[@wishbon77]

Very much enjoyed the video

[@martinhensonphotography]

Glad you enjoyed it , thanks you

[@davidfry8069]

Just found your channel!!! I love it!!!

[@chrisdunderdale]

Another classic mate, thanks

[@robbiephoto1]

exellent video martin look forward to the next one

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thank you

[@tgchism]

Nice video and shooting conditions! I'm looking to get back onto film in a medium format and having a tough time deciding what size I'm wanting to shoot. I love the idea of 6x9 but finding a Bessa like you have is looking pretty pricy at the moment here in the U.S. but the Mamiya 6 or Olympus Six might work if I can find one in good shape! I agree with everything you said on composition for B&W. I used the same thinking back in my 35mm B&W days. I find I still look at some scenes and think B&W would look great.

[@andrewrothman7805]

Wonderful video and great shots. I've wanted a Mamiya Six folder forever, but every one I see has an Olympus lens with terrible haze.

[@martinhensonphotography]

Thank you, mine has an Olympus lens on this model, no problems, the other older 6 I have with also an Olympus lens does have the haze, bit of a lottery really when buying

[@IainHC1]

Really enjoyed this :-) Thank you Martin :-)

[@huf67]

What's with all of the stone walls around England ?? They are very cool looking. Maybe I'm just used to people using fencing.

[@huf67]

Well I guess I should have watched the whole video before posting my question.... Ya learn something every day !!

[@davidspraggs9559]

Martin, been following you for a while & your enthusiasm & beautiful b&w photos have inspired me to give this ago... currently using Kodak Retina 1a 35mm that was my Dad's trying to get used to taking b&w photos with a light meter. Anyways was wondering in this vlog you pushed the film from 400 to 800 so how would you go about developing it, i.e. did you use you usual diafine developer in same quantity as usual and/or vary your developing times to compensate for 800 iso. Keep up the great work, very educational & inspiring Thank you for your great efforts & for sharing All The Best Stay Safe David

[@martinhensonphotography]

I just used Diafine at same dilution and times, you can vary the iso on the same roll using Diafine, thank you

[@davidspraggs9559]

@@martinhensonphotography thanks for the quick response & info

[@PremKumar-yf8jo]

Where shall I get this Camera Mamiya 6 in India?

[@JimmyCheng]

beautiful countryside, where is it?

[@martinhensonphotography]

Wharfedale valley in West Yorkshire UK

[@greggreaves1727]

Question: Have you ever used those 3d printed adapters that allow you to load 35mm canisters and shoot panoramic sprocket shots with this camera? I tried it with my Bessa I but the back won't close with the film canister in there. I'm thinking about trying it with a mamiya 6 automat (they're relatively inexpensive), but I'm not going to buy it if the film canister won't fit.

[@tomzhou5022]

You are shooting at 800ISO with the film. Did you also increase the temperature when developing the film?

[@martinhensonphotography]

No,I developed the film in Diafine which I can safely push HP5 to 800 iso with no change in dev times, with no increase in grain either

[@kiddeq]

Martin, another good video. I learn something new every time. I do have a question -- in some of your videos, you use Diafine to protect highlights when rating the film at a higher ISO. Other times, you use PyroCat. I've not used either developer, but I would like to learn. How do you decide which to use?

[@martinhensonphotography]

I use diafine when I need to up rate the films iso, eg, FP4 from 124 to 250iso, HP 5 from 400 iso to 800, TRIX from 400 to 1200 iso, Pyrocat HD if I want to use the films or near box speed

[@neilpiper9889]

Do you have to use a red window to wind on.

[@martinhensonphotography]

No you don’t, just use the winding knob to advance to the next frame, thanks

[@wishbon77]

Hey Martin please help me. I bought one of these camera from watching your video. And I understand everything except for the asa numbers. If I'm shooting hp5 400 the daily says S 12 16 20 25 32 40 50 64 80 100 200. What does all that mean. Where is 400. I don't understand? Thanks Robbie

[@martinhensonphotography]

Hi Robbie, there only marked as a reminder to the film speed of the film your using, the do not serve a practical purpose because there is not in built light meter in the camera, you set your film speed with your external hand of shoe mounted meters, hope that clarifies, thanks

[@wishbon77]

Thank you sir. Loving the camera.
