Ultimate Mamiya Photo Battle | RB 67 | 645 Super | C330

[@cheteu7968]

The guy with the M645 had the best photos, but he also had the easiest camera. The guy with the RB struggled the most because it was the most user unfriendly camera.

[@robhowarth77]

I love my 330. Been shooting 220/330 for decades. The 330 is an elephant of a camera. Perhaps that is why this camera instils a sense of faith and reliability in me that I get from no other camera.

[@fepatton]

Great shoot, great model, and an excellent trio of cameras and photographers! I've been a Mamiya fan since my Dad brought his RB67 home from work for me to try back in the early '80s! These three here are my favorites. For some reason, I can't hang on to the C3/330s that I've owned. Sold a C3 to fund another camera, then bought a C330 later, only to give it to a young photographer who really needed a 120 camera. Just ordered another C3. Not selling this one, I swear! I love my 645 Super, but the RB is my favorite. Glad to see it being shot handheld, as nature intended! 😂

[@Narsuitus]

My personal favorite is the very last photo shown at the end of the video after the ending credits. It is a head & shoulders close-up of the model surrounded by the three photographers who are capturing her image with their cameras.

[@MenzFargo]

the accidental exposures were amazing 🔥

[@itsabigdiehl]

I loved the look from the portra 400 with the 645 the most! I have a 645 super with ae prism finder and its my favorite medium format 📷

[@banski]

Agreed! That little combo has a great look.

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

L1, L2, L3, B2, B4 and B6! I kinda like them all tbh, great work everyone!

[@banski]

I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for stopping by

[@lightleaksofficial]

great video, love the concept of time limited shoots. This was fun to watch.

[@banski]

Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@CalumetVideo]

Great video! I have the Mamiya C330 and from what I can see in the video, the RB and 645 both look more vivid and sharper than the C330. All are capable cameras. The 645 is a great looking camera and can make sharp images, unless there is a need to go larger in printing, the 645 and C330 is great.

[@qozeemlawal5169]

Could it be the difference in the film used

[@loooopeytunes]

I'm a landscape photographer that often travels through mountains and forests by foot. 645 is my ideal choice because it's very light for a medium format camera and doesn't weighing me down. It also has more shots per 120 roll, compared to the 6x7, so pretty economical.

[@rockhills]

Is it me or was there a bit struggle with focusing with the pressure of time? lol L2, L6, J2, J4, B2, B6= Both B2/B6 were pretty damn good.

[@banski]

Yea, the time struggle was real and missed focus on a few.

[@banski]

Haha more than a few

[@ChuChuKhang]

This is some seriously great content. Excited to see what else you guys put out :)

[@banski]

Thanks Brain Zoo, I'm glad you enjoyed the content, hopefully we can get another one out soon

[@theblackmanarmedwithacamera]

DOPE VIDEO AND SHOTS! I GOTTA SAY...THE GUY, WHO KEPT HAVING THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, HAD THE SICKEST SHOTS THO - HE'S SICK WITH THE ANGLES!!! ALL WERE ON POINT...BUT I LIKED HIS THE BEST! THE MODEL IS AMAZING TOO - SHE TAKES SUCH GOOD PICTURES! LOVED THE VIDEO! SUBBED!!!!🔥👊🏾 - THE BLACKMAN ARMED WITH A CAMERA

[@guyrudder]

Awesome shoot and my faves were L3, J3 and B2. Give me an invite next time!

[@banski]

Thanks for watching man, yea for sure come along next time!

[@barbaracourtens]

Awesome video and nice pictures!! 😃😃

[@banski]

Thank you, glad you liked it

[@DevonStanczyk]

Beautiful work!!! Which camera and lens for image “B6”?

[@tgchism]

Nice job to all for the challenge each had some nice shots of the lovely lady! I would imagine the 645 was the easiest to use in these conditions!

[@wilbmoore]

I'm looking at the 645 now. I loved the video and subbed. I think that will be my next camera.

[@NOIXize]

They all killed it. GG!

[@DannyMa]

Awesome video - keep up the amazing work 🙌

[@banski]

Thanks Danny, glad you liked it

[@steelhazard]

Great video, great photos

[@acrapid7845]

From all 3 photos are very nice, rb67 technical beast.

[@ll9082]

the guy with Mamiya c330 nailed it, also he got a cool strap which is big plus

[@terrycullinane9437]

All you guys need to invest in a grip for your cameras! A Mamiya left hand L grip for the RB67 & C330 & I think Mamiya made a power grip for the 645 Pro.....a grip on these larger cameras improves the ergonomics considerably. Also the owner of the RB67 should invest in one of the newer film backs which were made for the RB67 ProS, which have a double exposure prevention mechanism built into them.

[@roryasquith2555]

Get it together jay!!!!!

[@sammyconductor8896]

what a great idea - especially the atmosphere in the group was very pleasant to watch . like them all, nice that everyone has his own style - and my fav is the J1

[@banski]

Thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed it. Was very good vibes, group of mates joking around and having a good time.

[@caseycarrow9478]

Not a fan of the five minute time limit for medium format film cameras but interesting none the less. I own the 645 1000S and it *is* easy to operate and I think it compares favorably to the other two cameras.

[@roryasquith2555]

5 minutes is tight!!!

[@kimberleyleong9211]

L3, J8 and B2!

[@phillnavin1212]

Well done lads

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

RB67 all day long.

[@joemorleyphotocinema]

I love these videos! MORE! let me shoot with you, come to the UK

[@Bruceconsidered01]

A fun video. I like all three cameras. Good to see medium format coming back. By the way I have all three of those cameras. I am going to dust them off and get back into it.

[@banski]

Great to hear it, get those cameras going!

[@dinodemopoulos3336]

What is the advantage of any of these over something like the Mamiya 7 for portraits? Newbie here, just trying to learn!

[@highway65]

RB67 Hands down 🎉

[@tomtafola4518]

Video well done very inspiring

[@richierichie39]

what lens was used on the rb67?

[@Narsuitus]

I have used the Mamiya 220 TLR and the RB67 SLR but I have never used the Mamiya 645. I used the 55/80/180 lenses with my Mamiya 220 and 50/90/180 lenses with the RB67. The Mamiya 220 produces twelve 6x6cm images on one roll of 120 film. The RB67 produces ten 6x7cm images on one roll of 120 film. However, since I carry more than one film back, I can easily capture 20 6x7cm images in 5 minutes.

[@banski]

Wow that's an awesome set of collection you had there

[@Exploringwithdavila]

Dope video keep creating!!

[@florali2678]

I like B2

[@florali2678]

Amazingly done!

[@aaronashton2483]

The photos were mesmerizing. Video was smooth. L6 was by far my favorite

[@highway65]

Pictures J2 J4 J5 are magazine quality 🎉

[@ronaldfleischer6136]

cool video, especially cause I am looking for a C330 and a 645 a the moment, I have a RB67 and a C33 at home...I got the feeling the 645 is simply easier to handle, the shots seemed sharper, with the RB You struggle with the weight and forget things or get hasty, I think it was visible in the video (the double exposures etc), at least a strap would be necessary, to have a better balance. The 645 is also not a lightweight but much more compact, the C330 is probably much like the C33 in handling it, but also more compact, better to handle then the RB. But...5 Minutes for a Roll of Film...thats tough...they should make this again but without a clock ticking.

[@johnjewell219]

Agreed👏👍

[@robertobenvieni4058]

Bravi ragazzi!!!

[@cammackey]

I subscribed. Now I demand more badass videos.

[@banski]

Thanks mate, Sydney been in lockdown for the past two month and still going, very keen to shoot our next video once it gets lifted. Dude I've been loving your channel too.

[@stephenlumsden280]

I have 2 Yashica TLRs and always tell myself I am not going down the rabbit hole of MF system camera. That said looking at the c330 I know its inevitable if one is a TLR fan, which I am. Thanks

[@negativespaceboys]

the shot from the TLR had me, quality over quantity. BUT feel ya when tht accidental dbl exposed happen on the rb67. U keep forgetting to advance the film always.

[@devispesaresi9069]

I would Battle c22..c330..c220...objective best Is 65...80...105...135??for portrait?

[@lovebass199300]

Thanks for watching and for the vote

[@charmerci]

First guy, Luc was so much better than the other two. Cutting the background in two (e.g. light and wall) above her head is not the way to take a portrait.

[@banski]

Thanks for the vote of confidence my man!
