I have one of the older M645's (without the interchangeable backs) and it's a lovely little beast, hard to argue with that glass, and honestly don't think the negative size is that much of a deal breaker (if I want bigger I'll just...do 4x5).

9.30 GODDAMMIT DID JASON MAKE THE SHOT OR NOT?!!!! Seriously my ocd needs to know. Also the Mamiya 645 and 645 1000s Have that oh so tasty duel shutter button! For real, it’s the nicest feeling using your thumb to fire off the shutter with the waist level....almost as good as BBQ!!!

[@BadFlashes]

Hahaha If Jason made the shot or not is up to you :)

[@d0qtrx]

I think the Mamiya 645 is my favorite camera. I have three of the older model without the interchangeable back. One standard m645 and two of the 1000s bodies. One I took a gamble on because it cost less than what the 80mm 1.9 mounted to it was worth- fortunately, the lens is great. It needed a little lubrication but no haze, fungus, or separation. EX+++++ for real. The crank advance and shutter slap are sublime. The waist-level finder with the 45 degree split prism screen is terrific. Nice weighty feel in the hand but not too heavy…. Just a joy to use.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh wow a real real Mamiya lover! I’m into it. That’s awesome to here! Yeah people really really love these cameras. I’m glad I’m apart of the group

[@tmkauth]

One word of caution to be cognizant of with the 2nd generation of Mamiya 645 cameras is the weak mirror stop. The mirror stop is made of plastic and could break at any time. Make sure to check from time to time that it has not broken; especially when changing lenses so you don't lose the spring or screw on the mirror stop itself. There are 3D printer schematics to remake it but the screw and spring are essential for the operation. And if it does break, the mirror has to be re-calibrated for proper focusing after replacing the mirror stop.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh that’s a good thing to think about. Got to check that!

[@jessejack7829]

I enjoy my mamiya 645 super. Also the 45mm as well. Both my backs developed some flex near the bottom hinge and intermittent light leaks.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh no, I’ll have to watch out for that.

[@danienelphoto]

I owned 2, with 5 or 6 backs and 2 Polaroid backs way back in the early 00s. Only issues it would sometimes have is that the shutter would get stuck. Other than that, best medium format camera imo.

[@BadFlashes]

IT IS SOOOOO AWESOME! also that Polaroid back would be dope as fuck!

[@MakersTeleMark]

My 70mm 2.8 LS (yes, leaf shutter) is in my all time top 2 favorite lenses that I own for any camera system (including my blad). Check it out if you can find it. I also shoot the 55 and the 150. Another nice bonus is that I can adapt them to my Mamiya ZM which produces amazing results on 35mm (same designer as the pro and the rz). I'm a 1000s shooter for many years because I need the simplicity and reliability, but I wish you great luck with your Pro over your last choice.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh thanks. It’s already a billion times better !!! And I should check out that 70mm! I almost got the 55mm as well. :)

[@heswithfilm]

thanks for making this. very enjoyable and informative to watch...

Yay I’m glad! ☺️

[@tompoynton]

The 646 Pro TL was my first medium format camera, absolutely great piece of kit, but in the end I found the 6x4.5 ratio just too close to 35. Once I got an RB67 the 645 would just sit on my shelf going unused for too long, and so I sold it. But dang what a great camera, so so easy to use, I may not miss the format but I do miss the usability!

[@BadFlashes]

I feels ya, I dig the format but I’m basically into all the things hahahaha but 67 is definitely where it’s at.

[@neilmorgan6620]

Hey Caleb, like you I have the Mamiya 7ii an RZ67ii and a couple of M645 pro's - I love how small, neat and modular the 645's are, I think I actually prefer the aspect ratio as well (don't tell my 6x7's!) Take a look at the the 50mm f4.0 shift lens, it's a great lens in it's own right but when you use the shift for pano's (3 shots stitched) or architectural work it's just awesome.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh damn!!!!! Twins!!!!!!!! And I won’t tell your 67 haha I’ll have to look into that lens. I’ll probably build out my kit for this camera.

[@onroadscameras]

It looked like a great place to shoot, I might have to visit on my next trip over to California. You mentioned the Bronica 645, but you forgot the Contax 645. Did you also know you can get a 645 back for your Mamiya RZ67. Look forward to the next instalment of Mamiya goodness.

[@BadFlashes]

So much Mamiya goodness!!!! Unfortunately the RZ is not mine it’s just on a very long term loan so I didn’t really wanna invest in that system all that much. And let’s be real the contact 645 is out of everyone’s price range. Hahahah let’s not get peoples hopes up! Haha

[@nicholasdavidsmith]

I couldn’t decide for a while which 6x45 camera to go with and seriously considered the Mamiya 645, but ended up going with a Bronica RF645 because it’s very compact and I get 16 shots per roll. Maybe I’ll pick up a Mamiya 645 in the future. 🤣

I would love a Mamiya..I have a Pentax 645 and you cant really do anything to it so. Id love a waist level viewfinder at moments. Adoption paperwork has been faxed. I think I saw some Ortho Plus...would like a video on a roll of that. I loved it in 35mm and been slacking on shooting any 120. What film have you been using in the super 8?

[@BadFlashes]

Tri-x so good! I absolutely love the 16mm Jason shot and the 8mm I shot! It adds so much. The black and white was BwXX and the color was E100 and Jason shot 250(maybe not sure). I’ll be on the lookout for the paperwork. You might have seen ortho plus. Not sure if I’ll do a video about 120 or not … we shall see … glad you enjoyed :)

[@ken547]

How are the optics on the 45mm 2.8 S? When stopped down are the corners sharp enough for your needs? I own the 55mm 2.8 and am very happy once stopped down to 5.6 the lens is perfect. I would be curious to hear your opinion on this lens, been thinking about going a little wider. I wish this system had more wide angle options.

[@BadFlashes]

I’ve been happy with it! Can’t complain:)

[@Jesko7587]

You should do a video on the 35mm back for the 645. Because noone on youtube seems to have done it. Although I think the interest in the 35mm back is slim since it takes sort of a cropped panoramic photo (I read something about 13x36mm).

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah for sure. I actually do you want to get that back. I actually wanna get several backs so I can do a lot of side-by-side comparison testing. So that’s the ultimate plan. A bit in the works haha

And the 645 super/pro is perfect for travel but after your nightmare with the Pentax 645 Im really scared of electrical cameras.... This definitely leans me to the 645 side tho!

[@BadFlashes]

Well I can’t tell you the Mamiya won’t ever breakdown but I definitely trust them more than I do the Pentax 645 cameras. The Mamiya 645 would definitely be a decent first MF camera.

I just end up looking at her with my squinty eyes and start impersonating Jason. I have several of his videos memorized.
