Not Like The Other TLR's | Mamiya C220

[@Danielpettitphotography]

Was looking at one in a shop last weekend and the focusing screen was amazing, so sharp and so easy to focus

[@jean-francoisgrun7524]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. One of the advantages of having an interchangeable lens system, is tha if your shutter gets sticky, you just have to send the lens for service and you can still continue to use the other ones.

[@jasongold6751]

never needed a shutter service! Was used Pro. Every few days!

love my C220! had several other 35mm and medium format cameras and sold them off and only kept this one. it is a conversation starter but also just a very fun and unique shooting experience compared. to my mirrorless Fuji setup

[@sigur0ros]

love this video: simple, clear, clean. Keep going bro

I recently bought a C3- which apart from some minor changes is the same camera- and it's a thing of beauty.

[@ulrikchristiansen]

This is a really nice camera. I have also been shooting a C220 which my father left me 10 years ago. I find the other lenses are quite good also, especially the 55mm. I also have a video on my channel showing some photos with various film stocks with this camera, if others are interested.

[@Author_MikkoJLehtonen]

Very nice! I also shoot with the C220 & 80mm f2.8, a superb camera!

[@pjbassman2253]

I have the C330 and it's amazing. I used to use a Rolleicord but since the C330 I got rid of the Rolleicord. The quality of the photos is stunning.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

I have a Mamiya C220. It’s an absolutely beautiful camera. Nice job on this video, BTW. 👍👍

[@khanscombe619]

You inspired me to wamt 1 now. How different from the C330 ?

I have a c220 with 105 3.5chrome do you know how does the 105 chrome lens compare to the 105 ds blue dot lens? in terms of the image quality

[@Lostin35mm]

There seems to be some differences, they are a different optical formula, the chrome one is 4 elements in 3 groups while the the DS is 5 in 3. I would however say that image quality differences are pretty small, all of the Mamiya TLR lenses are really sharp.

[@fay6204]

Found someone selling it for 18$ should I get it?

[@grain_eyed_photography]

It’s a beautiful one. I love my C330 S. They’re no longer cheap.

[@eduardoprudencio5427]

Awesome video man

[@jacovanlith5082]

To achieve focus at close distance with LONG focus lenses you need a wide bellow extension

[@milododd]

Which scanner did you end up getting? I'm using a semi-recent Canon flatbed scanner and not enjoying the results. Your photos look super crisp here.

[@Lostin35mm]

I got the Epson V550. It works well on medium format if you put the film straight on the glass and ditch the holder. Gives you pretty good results, 35mm however is just not that good but about as good as you can get with a flatbed.

[@ulrikchristiansen]

@@Lostin35mm This is my experience as well.

[@jasongold6751]

show more images! I preferred it to Hasselblad,(couldn't focus),My Fat Albert(Pentax 6x7), Rolleiflex seem stunted without other lenses.. I know about other Rollei other bodies!

[@MetalDEmpire]

220 roll film may be returning...

[@tomallen6073]

Wanting a 220 or 330, decided to go with the 220 because of size, that 330 is just too big.

[@joepdeumes]

hi, what scanner de you use? Thanks!

[@Lostin35mm]

I used an Epson V550 for the photos in this video!

[@anonharingenamn]

Extremely cool camera! Sadly I just can't justify spending the cash on a TLR, they're commonly above €400 these days.

[@Lostin35mm]

I could've never spent the money on a c220 on ebay where they are much expensive. Luckily I found someone locally who had one lying around, being active in the local community can sometimes give you amazing deals!

[@anonharingenamn]

@@Lostin35mm good point! I’ll have to involve myself in the local community.

[@khanscombe619]

Brilliant! I stumbled onto your channel and now on Insta. New sub and follow. Looking forward to more content.

[@jacovanlith5082]

The Koni Omega TWR, the Cambo TWR , the SINAR TWR, the Linhof Technika TWR and the Gowland Reflex are also twin reflex cameras with interchangable lenses; that makes another five TWR cameras

19 sec in and an expletive. Bit of growing up needed Bye

[@henrikgustav2294]

Got to be difficult focusing for headshots?

[@jacovanlith5082]

The shown viewfinder of your MamiyaC 220 is no chimney viewfinder, it is a waist level viewfinder. There are Porro , Porro CDS, and Magnifying chimney (CDS) viewfinders.

[@dooogides9176]

Dame man I’m Egyptian I’m so lucky I bought one last week for 300£ (16£=1$) and it’s working! With some spiders inside of it I’m rly happy to know it’s “expensive” out so maybe sell it?

[@ibrahimmashaal7805]

please if you still got it tell me

What is your standard for the weight and size of a TLR camera? So your opinion is the location of te aperture an shutter speed rings are an ergonomical problem? Not being disabled, any photographer can handle this Mamiya C. Hold the camera with your left hand, if you wish, with a L-bracket or with a pistolgrip. After you have done your light metering, your right hand will set all. It is just a matter of moving your fingers a few millimeters or your hand a few centimeters. Aperture ring and shutter speed rings are very close together, they can be moved by your two fingers. Like the rings of LF optics can be moved. By moving the right hand you can do the focusing, film transport, cocking the shutter and pressing the release button.

[@jacovanlith5082]

The BLUE DOT lens. That is a well known line everybody is repeating. Never has anybody shown the difference bewteen the non-blue and the blue dot lens. I CONSIDER IT A MYTH.

[@markgarcia8253]

Bought my C220 for $300 and traded it & my Pentax 645 for a Leica M3. No ragrets

[@Lostin35mm]

That’s a great deal, wow!

[@jacovanlith5082]

You must be out of your mind, Downsizing to 24 x 36 mm. Too much grain.. Less bokeh Too many exposures.on a roll @@Lostin35mm

[@jacovanlith5082]

Your mentioned downsides pf the mamiya are nonsense. Weight and size? This camera is no Minox. It is not made of plastic. Slow in handling? The photographer might be inexperienced.. "Not ergonomical". Are you disabled? Scanning a 120 film is blasphemic; get yourself a lab / darkroom.
