Quick tip: close that light shield curtain when you're rolling a film or you'll get loads of annoying unwanted dust particles on your lens!

[@val-t2o]

i was just about to sell my mamiya 7 but after watching this i changed my mind. also im getting mad teletubbby vibes from that hoodie. i want it.

That’s my medium format dream camera, either that on or the Pentax 67 Amazing video as always brother 🤛🏼

[@TaehaTypes]

Dang I guess it's time to pick one up

[@whoschrischu]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@kieranplaymusic]

Blowing all your cash on cameras is all part of being a film photographer. I look forward to your M6 video

[@nickfanzo]

Not sure about that. We need to focus on making good photographs instead

[@blueins_4873]

I wanted to also do film photography since I also do digital photography, can you recommend me some good film camera for a beginner?

[@Yulfi]

Every time I check, the Mamiya 7 has gone up in price since I bought mine. I paid $2150 for an 80mm kit back in 2017, and I see that it isn’t going for less than $3400 with a kit lens. If I weren’t so in love with it, I’d sell it and make a nice little profit right now; Same deal with my other two film cameras.

Great fotos! Question: Why have both 6x7s? Are rangefinders no good for portraiture?

[@achew317]

My man is so underrated yet so talented.

[@charliefm826]

I do have to say, the grip on the Mamiya 7 is amazing. I did trade mine for a Hasselblad which is an interesting story though. Thought it would be safer to have that much money in a mechanical body as opposed to something electronic. Anyway the Hasselblad jammed within the first week. I do prefer the Hassy though.

[@KylerSteele]

Such a solid camera. I love mine 7ii

[@whoschrischu]

keep it and never let go, Jack

[@hectorvaca5733]

You should def try out the Fuji GM670. It is my fave film camera I have. Like the mamiya, the gm670 is 6x7 and has interchangeable lenses that rock. It is also a lot more affordable.

[@whoschrischu]

oh for sure for sure

[@hectorvaca5733]

I really love your channel. Your vids definitely inspire me to do more with my photography

[@kathreenmirate389]

How was it when focusing? I had a rangefinder before and it took so much time to align the images or patch that i mostly get out of focus camera. That is why I gave up on buying a rangefinder. Does the focus patch look clear and not hard to see if the images are aligned? I am thinking of giving this a try since I am looking for a portable 67. Thanks Chris!

[@IsThatYouSimon]

Cool photos bro ! Just started to follow you. Can’t’wait to start using my Mamiya7ii

[@whoschrischu]

SHEEEEEEESH

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

beautiful man. I wanna get one for travel (probably post COVID lockdown....)

[@Nedumgottil]

Do you remember what camera strap is that?

[@rudyonrails]

Hi Chris, what kind of strap do you use on your mamiya 7?

[@gurugamer8632]

Hi, Is it worth buying the Mamiya 7 II + 80mm f/4 £3500-£3800? User says it is immaculate. Is it too risky to buy as they are old. User says he bought it new in 2003. Is this camera recommended for portraits and travel?

[@alvingillarlera]

The Mamiya 7 is built for travelling, that's why it's so light. It's very easy to carry around, not heavy at all.

[@thepioneer9677]

I can load my 7II quicker than my hasselblad. Just takes practice and experience

[@kathreenmirate389]

How do you zone focus in mamiya 7

[@tubecorr]

The 135 pano shots are not that much wider than x-pan. I think it's mostly less frames because you're burning film at the start where the paper leader would be on 120 film. You could possibly get a few extra frames by taping a used piece of film at the start of your pano roll.

[@dainguyenquoc794]

where do you get your music, Chris?

[@DrJRaven]

Fantastic

[@RamonBrito]

Dope video Chris!!!! I definitely agree on why you gave it a 9.5 on the camera I own the mamiya 6and I have the same issue. Cheers brother

[@whoschrischu]

Mamiya 6 with that collapsible lens mount is pretty nice. But yeah, I'm confused as to why it' doesnt catch easily

[@joeflood4741]

what neck strap have you got on that

DAMNT CHRIS I JUST BOUGH N RB BODY I CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CAMERA LET ALONE A MAMIYA😩😩😩

[@2071photo]

it is possible to get 20 shots out of a roll of 36 but you have to load it a little differently, I made a video on it a while back using a Pentax 67. it's extra work but I think the extra 4 shots are worth it in the long run.

[@noelle9616]

Ya Chris 🙌🏼😎💪🏼👏🏼

[@randomgrenad346]

Chris have you heard of the Makina 670? You should look into that.

[@aarons6532]

Just be careful with them, they're nice and light but not very tough. The film wind can break quite easily, so be gentle as you advance the film!

I had one once it was great but I couldn't go back to film. Happy with my Fuji GFX-50R

You are comparing apples and pears, Fuji vs mamiya ?

I got a good price on mine. Lowball on those eBay offers and you never know they might accept it.

[@nickfanzo]

@@spyratekodaks7494 yes it is. Love mine

[@denniswilliams4789]

Great within its limitations. Rangefinder. Leaf shutter lenses. Not the greatest grip. It is more convenient than an RB/RZ in the field assuming no detailed focusing is required. If you are that hip guy who walks around with a camera hanging from his neck waiting for an old beach house or wooden gate in a field to photograph it's swell.

[@johnleftwich650]

Stop it! Stop tempting me! I just sold all my 35mm film cameras except my Nikon F4 and my Canon EOS 3 which I told myself they were all I needed. Actually though I think I can resist the Mamiya 7 because I really don't like the range finder experience.

[@whoschrischu]

rip, you should just not watch any film photographer on KZbin hahaha

How is life with the missing kidney? 😆 I would have expected this camera might not work as well for portrait. What are your thoughts?
