Shooting My New Medium Format Camera // Mamiya c330

[@TheYuhasz01]

I own and use this camera, as wells a Yashica 124. 6x6 format is challenging but unique perspective. I also have 5 lens for the Mamiya 330 as well(55, 65,80,105,135); excellent resolution lenses with great contrast(I shoot primarily b&w). You really do get full experience of 6x6 medium format with this camera and lenses.

Very nice. I definitely want to get my hands one the 55 or 65 for the C330 at some point.

[@lars-goranabrahamsson9337]

Really nice camera. I got one too !

[@FabrizioZago]

Medium format camera and classic cars, perfect combination!

[@teekaynh]

Nice work. I've got the RB67 and the C330 as well. Love them both.

[@ZachParksPhoto]

I definitely enjoy the RB67, but I’m happy to be switching it up. Both are very nice to work with.

very nice series of photos ! I bought a C330f body and a couple of lenses (55mm 135mm) off of eBay (Japan) during the shut-down phase of Covid (earlyl 2020). I have added a 105mm f3.5 I got at a camera club swap meet. Shamefully, I have yet to put a roll of film through it ! But you video is inspirational !

[@aristoioannidis7490]

Impressive hardware Zach. Coupling the C330 with Kodak Portra 400 and EKtar 100 your output is awesome, as always. Congratulations on your investment.

I can’t believe I’ve been following you on Instagram for so long and just now stumbled upon your channel. Great work man! 🙏🏼 I just picked up a C330 and I’m looking forward to picking up the prism finder for it.

[@ZachParksPhoto]

That’s rad, man. Happy to have you joining me over here too. I’m enjoying the C330. I’m sure you’ll love the prism finder.

[@christianhardin6214]

I’m glad you got the prism finder. Really need to snag one for my c220.

[@ZachParksPhoto]

I got super lucky with it. They seem a tad hard to come by.

[@RocketinExile]

Great stuff. How’d you meter?

[@ZachParksPhoto]

Thank you. I’m pretty sure I was just metering by eye here. I have a spot meter that I use for more “important” exposures. Haha

[@xolacido]

When I use prism eye finder, the focus seems not clear than seeing it through waist level. Is this normal?

[@keithwiebe1787]

With the prism finder it might be a little difficult to focus. I would strongly recommend getting a split prism screen so you just have to find a straight line, focus to get line straight again and you're off! No more guessing.

[@ZachParksPhoto]

I would definitely like to get the split screen for it, but I don’t find focusing difficult with the prism by any means.

[@keithwiebe1787]

@@ZachParksPhoto when shooting head shots with the 135 or 180 lenses (not as bright) one could put the split right over an eyeball.

[@BurlapandLight]

I still have my RZ and now have 2 C33's! Mamiya fan boy here! What's rain? I love both mine. Just need to add the actual ends on for the aperture levers.

[@gabaghouul]

Great video, love the C330! Also, was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing where you got that rad hat.

[@ZachParksPhoto]

Thanks, man. The hat is from Indestructible MFG. They make some super rad gear. Check ‘em out.

[@Reese-jpg]

[@ZachParksPhoto]

Whaaaaat??? I don’t think I could ever not buy a medium format camera for that price. 😂

[@Reese-jpg]

@@ZachParksPhoto haha yeah this was a while ago and I had no knowledge of anything medium format. When I looked it up later I planned to go back and get it and it was gone
