[@MarcusLloyd]

It really just hits different! Thanks bro

[@hypecamera]

Bro that shot through the ivy leaves. So good. Also that landscape with her leaning against the car and looking back - so good!

[@MarcusLloyd]

i appreciate that bro

[@behindeachfilmgrain]

Love what I’m seeing here! Rainy like conditions are the best conditions because you have Mother Nature working for you! Excellent choice in locations and model to really make this work for you! Your videographer really sold it for you as well!

[@MarcusLloyd]

behindeachfilmgrain yo thanks man! Yea definitely a great team on this video

[@royhobbs785]

Nothing better than environmental portraits! Nailed it!!!

[@MarcusLloyd]

I would have to agree with that

[@christinandfilm7657]

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Beautiful photos!!! Always look forward to your videos!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Your support means a lot bro.

[@vintagephotographer]

Just discovered your channel and loving your work. Pulling the Portra by a stop under the soft light was a great idea.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Vintage Photographer portra for the win!

[@kevincheatham4614]

Amazing video! I love how the series keeps giving different gems.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Much love bro

[@MrGregRitter]

Another great vid and the IG spread was outstanding! 🔥

[@MarcusLloyd]

thanks Greg! I really appreciate it

[@adventureStaley]

Dig it man. Cool vibes, great shots.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Appreciate it bro!

[@timmonda]

Super dope video. Love that camera and seriously regret selling mine which was a casualty in some recent downsizing. Never knew it could be so good for portraits. Love your work bro! New sub here

[@MarcusLloyd]

Yo Tim, thanks brother! Sounds like you need to pick it back up

[@ChrisHunterLive]

So incredibly happy to have found this channel. Some of the best content out there. This is chicken soup for the soul shit. Love it. Getting one of these cameras soon!

[@MarcusLloyd]

bro im glad you stumbled on my channel. i appreciate the kind words!

[@jasonblake5576]

Beautiful work Marcus!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Thanks Jason

[@jamesamoh7340]

Amazing photos and as always great content.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Yo thanks so much James

[@bendroege]

Man that 6x9 is huge! Great images

[@MarcusLloyd]

Lol just watched your mamiya 7 video. I plan on doing a review on this bad boy soon. You only get 8 shots per roll

[@bendroege]

Marcus Lloyd oh thanks man haha! Damn wtf! I never knew that. That’s like $6 a photo 😂

[@Rico-ns5dt]

Bomb content

[@MarcusLloyd]

much love Rico!

[@Rico-ns5dt]

@@MarcusLloyd I almost picked this up but figured it still has room to go up and hit some like a 1,000. So I bought the Pentax 67 last night with 105mm f2.4 while I can and before prices go up. Either way, beautiful pictures. Keep those lovely videos coming

[@jeremoe1]

Nice photo session of a very elegant young lady. I cringed when you wiped your lens with your undershirt, gotta admit. Beautiful portraits! Just became a subscriber.

[@MarcusLloyd]

hahaha i usually have a microfiber cloth but it gets real sometimes out here

[@robertserrano6595]

Love this, just found your channel, and I’m glad I did

[@MarcusLloyd]

Im glad you stumbled upon my channel too bro. Hope you enjoy the content

[@TheMPhotography]

Wow. I just found your channel. Great work and a fantastic video. Subbed! Keep up the great work. Going to watch some more videos from your channel now.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Will do and thanks for tuning in!

[@pohutt1330]

Dude, I've been wanting to get into medium format for a while now but can't justify the cost and weight of a WLVF style camera. I love the Fuji X100V for the film style workflow. You've convinced me that the Texas Leica is for me. Love your photos, love your intent and love the channel.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Go get it bro! I really appreciate you rocking with the channel. More to come bro

[@yourbrothereli]

Quality+Consistency

[@MarcusLloyd]

Appreciate that brother

[@bkrnj_]

Another dope one fam.

[@MarcusLloyd]

I appreciate that fam!

[@joshuafrancis7396]

Just found your channel...amazing photos and vibe

[@MarcusLloyd]

Whats up man? Im glad you stumbled on my vid. I will def keep em coming bro.

[@joshuafrancis7396]

Marcus Lloyd for sure man! I’m looking forward to seeing your channel grow

[@aroach337]

Love the vids. Love the pics. Cleaning the lens of that sweet 690 made me cringe... but that is my problem :-)

[@MarcusLloyd]

Hahahaha that was desperation. Usually i keep a micro fiber cloth on deck

[@detroitgagt]

really nice i want a tank like that one day

[@MarcusLloyd]

This bad boy is a game changer

[@brianmaneely]

Man. Nice set!

[@MarcusLloyd]

yo thanks Brian!

[@RestlessCreatives]

spot looks dope! 🔥

[@MarcusLloyd]

Yea these were so cool Locations

[@eddyjcreative100]

MF is the best in film.. love these shots..gonna take mine for a ride...love my 6x9

[@MarcusLloyd]

🙏🏾

[@itsgenkigirl]

Hi love your vids. I want to shoot portrait pics like you. What is he easiest camera to handle for an amateur and use Kodak portra film? I can buy second hand old camera? Thanks so much

[@MarcusLloyd]

I just made a video on the Canon EOS Rebel G. Its really afforable way to get into film. Take a look

[@itsgenkigirl]

Thank you for your reply 🌿

[@a1551x]

Been doing some research on this camera since it will be my first medium format and this video sold me! Great content!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Awesome! Im glad I could help in a small way. You're going to love this camera.

[@fiuttello]

Think about Hasselblad 500 CM instead ;)

[@a1551x]

Fiutello Teletombola I just looked it up and it's such a cool camera! Definitely going to look into it

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

Your 'location game' is on point. Ari has the look. Great collab. What film lab do you use?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Luster photo

[@maximilianomagnano2267]

Great photos. I may get a GW690 soon and was wondering how are you metering. Thanks!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Nice man! I use a external light meter

[@jimmidelay]

Nice work bro!

[@MarcusLloyd]

i really appreciate that bro

[@gameloozer731]

I’ve been looking at these and have heard people say the bokeh isn’t great and they’re wrong. Really nice swirl. I gotta get me one

[@MarcusLloyd]

I’ve also heard that it’s not good for portraits but I would have to disagree.

[@normancacho]

Great vid, I just ordered the 6x7 version

[@MarcusLloyd]

oh nice! just wait until you get those negatives back.

[@photosquare7]

The car is a beauty, the girl also.

[@MarcusLloyd]

totally agree

[@joranherr4128]

Enjoyed the video.. How come you always nail focus with this camera? 👀

[@MarcusLloyd]

Hahaha not always but I really slow down with this camera

[@joranherr4128]

@@MarcusLloyd 👍

[@sixteenbitter]

The photos turned out great! Have you run into any challenges using a rangefinder for portraiture?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Thanks so much! I have actually gotten so used to shooting rangefinder style with everything. Im hoping this encourages people that you can shoot portraits with a rangefinder and it doesnt have to always be a SLR.

[@michaelomo]

great content 🤝. Texas Leica for the win !

[@MarcusLloyd]

Yep for the all time win

[@PoradnikiYakuza]

really like the channel, makes me want to buy a gw690 ;) hope you grow up to alot of subs

[@MarcusLloyd]

Thanks bro!

[@sigurdsnokle4549]

was coolto see as i have the same "leica"

[@MarcusLloyd]

One of the best

[@JAYEND]

Dope shoot. You just put me on to a new camera btw.

[@MarcusLloyd]

Bro I love it.

[@yellow_tonez]

Great video man! Question, what's the focul length of your lens?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Its a 90mm which is about a 40mm in 35mm equivalent

[@kevin-taber]

Happen to remember what aperture you were shooting these at?

[@MarcusLloyd]

for the most part i floated between f4-8

[@SkinnyWasHere]

digging the shots! lets get up around BK to shoot sometime

[@MarcusLloyd]

Bro let’s make that happen for real

[@Brause_Market]

6:11 is my fav ; )

[@MarcusLloyd]

Thanks my man

[@anthonythecameraman5951]

Great video! What kind of lens did you use?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Thank you! It comes with a 90mm lens which is about a 40mm focal length.

[@danielfeatherstone674]

Shots are a bit lackluster. I always felt a little restricted with that camera. Really hard to get subject separation with that lens. Pentax 67 is a much better choice IMO

[@MarcusLloyd]

Daniel Featherstone lol word

[@genegoranov5865]

Marcus , man , do some black and white and develop film yourself . It's not rocket surgery :) And you will enjoy it immensely!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Actually plan on shooting some really soon. I have a roll of acros ii sitting in the fridge

[@ruffprophetproductions]

i bet you just sold a bunhc of people on this camera, lol. great shots bro

[@MarcusLloyd]

Hahaha yea it’s a been a few

[@red92diaz]

Hey man, how does this camera perform at night? Is it hard to focus?

[@MarcusLloyd]

It’s great. I would say the hardest time to focus is mid afternoon and shooting in the sun.

[@red92diaz]

@@MarcusLloyd That helps out a lot!!! Thank you

[@jomartynn3949]

This shit is 🔥🔥🔥

[@MarcusLloyd]

Yo thanks fam

[@joshmcdzz6925]

That B-roll kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-1e4ZqZaqDgdE is sick.. damn!! just too good.. watched this multiple times just for the b-roll.. I love the colors of these shots.. Did you edit them or unedited scans

[@vincentricketts6022]

Holy shit first time to ever be first person to watch KZbin vid

[@MarcusLloyd]

Haha! Hope you enjoyed it man

[@vincentricketts6022]

Marcus Lloyd dope photos as always brother! What lens you rocking on the Fuji there?

[@MarcusLloyd]

@@vincentricketts6022 its actually a fixed 90mm/3.5 lens on this bad boy. I plan on doing a review on it soon.

[@vincentricketts6022]

Marcus Lloyd looking forward to it 🤙🏾

[@andrervizu]

Is that the 90mm lens?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Andrervizu yep it is

[@trillstreetz20011]

Do you typically use 4 rolls a shoot? I'm tryna figure out how many I should shoot

[@MarcusLloyd]

sonnie what’s good sonnie? It usually varies, sometimes I actually try to challenge myself to one roll only but I will usually shoot around 2-4 if there’s multiple looks.

[@coreywalden231]

You used a shirt to clean your lens? You monster. (beautiful images, model is stunning with superb style)

[@MarcusLloyd]

Lmao i was desperate

[@christophevw2241]

How did you process the film? Pulled the dev time or remained on box speed?

[@MarcusLloyd]

I shoot at half the box speed and the lab develops it as normal

[@christophevw2241]

@@MarcusLloyd thnx !!

[@AshCORNificentBall]

How did you get the focus distance on point ?

[@MarcusLloyd]

i use the rangefinder patch....i dont really mess with zone focusing on this camera

[@crayon2323]

photos look good, just don't cut the feet off so much. my two cents.

[@MarcusLloyd]

note taken

[@jessel9481]

You must have a foot fetish.

[@cedarandsound]

how are you metering?

[@MarcusLloyd]

Go between reflective and incidental metering

[@ufukberber496]

Hii Marcus 👍🏻

[@MarcusLloyd]

what up

[@yosoyalquan]

Let me do a bts video for you 🤔

[@MarcusLloyd]

Let’s get it

[@yosoyalquan]

Marcus Lloyd whens the next shoot? Hit me on Instagram @alquan

[@agylub]

Your overexposure of the film is killing the subtlety of the models beautiful skin tone. The video is correctly exposed. Rate the film at box speed and add some light by using a reflector or if it’s not raining a tiny amount of fill flash. Compare the two techniques.

[@MarcusLloyd]
