Mamiya RZ67: Shooting Kodak Portra 400

[@Ublad8304]

This video cheered me up I was smiling the whole video. there's nothing more beautiful than a father-daughter bond. Lovely frames, these pictures will be even golder to watch in a couple of years... Time flies so quickly

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thank you Kevin! Need to do more like this, they grow too fast and the least we can do is have pictures.

[@geraldfischer7598]

nice

[@mathiash5000]

- That's it? - No. Ten pictures. - TEN!? This is so cute.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Hahaha, thanks, She has a LOT of patience.

[@bthemedia]

"good think my kid is pretty short" for the backdrop! haha!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+bwvids One has to embrace the limitations. ;)

[@MileyonDisney]

I used to have an RB67 Pro SD. Now, I'm shooting with a Bronica ETR Si. As soon as I can afford it, I plan to get an RZ67 Pro IID. Looking forward to shooting medium format digital.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Its probably a great fit for medium format. The ease of use is amazing.

[@DANVIIL]

Mamiya medium format cameras and optics are amazing.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

They really are. My RZ is probably my all time favorite camera.

[@sorino737]

Great video. So simple and so natural. Respect!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks!

[@celialecomte8797]

Hi Nicos, I just got a Mamiya RZ67. I have a problem, the first one is that the camera let me take a picture with the metal slide in (apparently that is not normal). However the camera reconise that the metal slide is in Secondly, I can only shoot when the button is lined with the orange spot, when I put it lined to the white dot, it's doesn't make anything, I can press the button but I can't shoot. Tomorrow I'm getting a new battery, I hope it's only a problem with the battery, I already tested it with two different lenses and different backs but it doesn't change anything at all. Thanks a lot!

[@pietervandenberghe]

Since you say the lens has 2.8 max aperture, I assume it's the 110mm?

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Pieter Vandenberghe yes, it is. Forgot to mention it. Sorry. ;)

[@pietervandenberghe]

Thanks; those bellows are a real plus! I wish my 645 could focus that close...

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Pieter Vandenberghe they are amazing. Makes me love this camera so much more.

[@bbayek5573]

Amazing video, I am buying Mamiya tomorrow so super excited! :) What do you mean in the video "compensate for the bellow" at 5:50?

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks! The mamiya rb qnd rz can focus so close you need to add stops of light to compensate. they have a little graphic, very easy to understand.

[@bbayek5573]

Thank you! I understand now, that I have the camera here :)

[@bbayek5573]

btw, if you ever want to visit London, let me know! Mi casa es su casa! :)

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

I will be there in 2 weeks. Im spending the weekend of the 6th of July, might try to organize a Film & Beer event. But have some family there! Thanks for the offer.

[@mariamk3975]

So beautiful and found all the necessery information i needed for first shooting. Thanm you ❤

[@2Future4U]

cute kid! lovely portraits! just wondering where you are getting the scans? love the tones

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+christian garrido thanks! The dev and scan are done at Interphoto in Madrid, Spain.

[@353amg]

My current setup, its just a fantastic combo

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Rashaun Richardson it really is. I want to get to try more focal lengths as I used to have them but cant remember results. Hope to make a video soon with other lenses.

[@353amg]

My 180mm came in last week, and it's phenomenal. I do want to experiment with wider than my 110

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Rashaun Richardson I sold my 180mm in box for 80$. Now I cant find one for less than 150$ i loved the 65mm on the RZ. Highly recommend it.

[@raulfrias8436]

great images

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks Raul!

[@heresmyurl]

Finally! Been so long since your last video

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Hogarth Ferguson i know. Have a ton of footage in the edits. Just uploaded one for monday. Will be ahead of my own work as long as I can.

[@HelgeStrichen]

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+HelgeStrichen Thanks!

[@ayenoppa4717]

she is so adorable!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+SC Sydney thanks! She is a little performer!

[@carlachannel674]

what is the difference with the hasselblad 500cm ?

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Carla Channel Its 6x7 and focuses with bellows. Pretty similar and pretty different. Its my favorite camera but it is BIG.

[@carlachannel674]

Nicos Photography Show thank's😊

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

I will try to make a video comparing both.

[@nwenwe622]

what is the lens

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Sorry for not listing. 110mm f2.8

[@nwenwe622]

hahaha thx！

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

;) Im really excited to now test the 140mm macro. Hope to share results.

[@nwenwe622]

looking forward！

[@BriteFrog]

Great video Nicos, and your daughter helped create some awesome pics :)

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks Timothy! I sometimes cant help but take them out to shoot some portraits.

[@VanDan]

Such a cute video, thanks for sharing these candid moments. Your dog deserved a portrait too :)

[@willf.5403]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing - it’s going to be great to have these prints as your daughter grows.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks! Its true that as they grow they become so powerful.

[@Kevin-finity]

very nice pictures! Thank you!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks!

[@Centar1964]

Seriously, where do you get all the money for all of this? Did you win the lottery or something?

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Craig Diamond its been yeeeeeaaarrsss of slowly getting gear. Plus i dont have any other hobbies or expensive habits.

[@farouk6564]

My 3 year old is also my model, great video thanks for sharing

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Farouk Cherchali Thanks! Kids are the best to photograph, when they let you.

[@andyvan5692]

great video, and what a cheap model (all they cost is an icecream or two!!), and very patient too, good job.

[@COLAC91fr]

nice video, (i try to make you a intro for the photo news butt my first atempt are really bad ahah)

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+COLAC91fr thanks! It is hard to make good intros. But thanks for trying! ;)

[@COLAC91fr]

si tienes tiempo puedes hacer un film en beer en Paris :)

[@COLAC91fr]

if i buy a Pen F, i will lent you to test it in Paris. What result have you had with the ee 3? i'm also looking for a Olympus OM1

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+COLAC91fr si puedo hare uno!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+COLAC91fr I still havent developed the ee3. I have way too much backlog... :(

[@periodismodeganzua6629]

Genial Nico!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Periodismo de ganzúa Gracias!

[@Murdog36]

Love it

[@lovercontax4979]

im utterly surprised that this camera can be handheld

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Peter Cheung It works well handheld but it is heavy. I was very surprised to see my daughter pick it up easily.

[@lovercontax4979]

Nicos Photography Show haha, your daughter is so lovely. how is the ergonomic when holding the camera? coz i always worry if i can hold it properly

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Peter Cheung thanks! She puts up with a lot of photography. The camera feels good in hand. In my opinion its fine handheld with the waist level finder. The prism is really heavy as a add on.

[@lovercontax4979]

Nicos Photography Show so how does rz67 compares to pentax 67 when using handheld? coz i will be doing lots of environmental portrait so it is better for me not to bring a tripod , so which would you recommmend? i consider rz67 is due to the fact that its price is more mediocre when comparing to pentax 67 , pentax 67 has now got loads of fame due to its wide exposure on internet so the price is skyrocketing from what i have seen and the mamiya is more versatile too but less durable ( usual problem with rz67's shutter would not fire up)

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Peter Cheung its hard to tell. But I will make a video about it. I prefer the RZ67 for many things. And my RZ hasnt failed and the Pentax has.

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

I always shoot on chroma. Easier to swap later. :)

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Dawoud Wouldnt know how to do it. ;)

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

Nicos Photography Show I didn't either. But I reaseached a little and am now convinced its the best. You can swap the backdrop to what you want later. And with the resolution a 6x6 or 6x7 provides its really awesome.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Dawoud I guess you are right, i just like using less digital tools. Specially because I wetprint and cant fix green on it. Will research the green screen as one never has enough tools. Thanks!

[@computersforidiots]

this is way too adorable

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thanks! She makes it easy to enjoy making videos.

[@chefwawa]

She’s adorable.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thank you!

[@kb5ql]

Es una santa soportando esas 10 fotos. 😬 ¡Qué preciosa!

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Gracias! Si que es una santa.

[@luciusliu9939]

I can feel the love :D

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Lucius Liu thanks!!

[@mannolitto2196]

You need to make more videos man , I almost unsubscribed from you channel after your long inactivity, just a thought. Gracias. yo tambien recuerdo cuando mis hijas eran jovenes y yo todo el tiempo disfrutaba y tomaba fotografias de ellas, fue en los tiempos the Kodachrome, desgraciadamente desaparecido.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Gracias por el comentario! Tengo muchisimo contenido nuevo pero estoy editando cuando puedo. Ademas ahora con nuevas fotos que me han mandado del laboratorio, asi que espero poder subir mas contenido de manera mas continuada. Las fotos de mis hijas son lo que hoy en dia me mantienen con ilusion de fotografiar, el dia que no me dejen no se que hare!

[@mannolitto2196]

Gracias por responder yo se que es difici! Solo fue una opinion personal.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+M Alvarez-Diaz Se agradece! Uno necesita algun tiron de oreja de vez en cuando. Ahora acaba de subirse otro video. ;)

[@flipflopsleica]

I have to stop watching videos with such fine cameras as G.A.S. is a serious photographer's disease. Any significant differences (looks, applications...) for Porta 400 vs 160 other than ISO? Thx.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Stuart Kinkade Hahaha, GAS is a serious matter, I can relate to that ;) About Portra I have seen 160 render skin a little bit better, but they are very similar. Back in day day of NC and VC portra it was a different story. Now they make film to scan and one can add saturation or contrast in post. Go with 160 if you can use tripod or long exp. Or 400 for handheld or dim light. Wont go wrong with any of them.

[@flipflopsleica]

Thank you Nico. I've shifted from China to India and now to Birmingham. I'm after landscapes with my Shenhao 617 view camera but first to get exposure practice with my GF670 in manual w/ a tripod and using a Pentax V spot meter to get muscle / brain memory locked in then move up to the big guns.

[@flipflopsleica]

Forgot to say I use the Reciprocity App yet it has a bug in it now confirmed by the developer due to an iOS upgrade that when I hit "Camera" icon to change cameras... it bounces me out of the app. Hope it gets fixed soon.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Stuart Kinkade nice! I would use 160 and 400 and see what you prefer. But on 617 you will always use tripod. Also you have Ektar but its not much of my liking.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+Stuart Kinkade its a great app when out in the field. I really enjoy the new tools for film photography (apps, kickstarter camera, etc...). Let me know what you end up using with that 617

[@dumkopf]

Your daughter's a dear

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+dumkopf thanks! It turned out pretty decent! She does behave really well!

[@mamiyapress]

Beautiful little girl, perhaps using a tripod would have made the shoot easier for both of you. Remember, the day will come when they will refuse outright to be photographed so take all your images now.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

+mamiyapress thanks! I enjoy using tripods for my large fkrmat shots but I wanted to be able to move a bir more and handheld with the light I had was pretty ok. I do use focusing by moving myself a lot when shooting up close. Ant that on a tripod is a pain to achieve. I have sometimes thought of a fast monopod but uts rare I miss it.

[@mugshot749]

It's a lot easier with a tripod.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

It is if you subject can stay still. But kids are hard to keep in one spot.
