[@WillemVerb]

Todays video is a little more gear oriented, so if thats not your vibe feel free to skip to 8:00 for a photovlog with my friend Wesley Verhoeve :)

[@eladbari]

@11:55 - What Squarespace template are you using, Willem?

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

sorry but your photos are inhibiting me.

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

life is fun out there and your subject and sight looks like in 1970s and no people in that,the view is limited and i see no point.

[@mattdayphoto]

The Peak Design Everyday Elephant, I’m a fan.

[@BryanBirks]

Seeing Willem with a eye level finder is sacrilegious. Lmao

[@emilio1998]

Yeah man, i think that too hahaha

[@mutenroshisamaa]

Thanks for making me use Siri ...

[@FolkeFox]

No One: Not a soul: Willem: *starts video standing on the couch*

[@timmyd999]

The main upgrade for an RZ67 should be a set of wheels

[@WillemVerb]

lmfao valid point

[@timmyd999]

@leicanoct I borrowed Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@SamSilk]

@@timmyd999 where can I rent one? I'm told they're made in Austria, I live in France, delivery fees should be low.

[@mugshot749]

A truss for you're hernia.

[@JTroker]

Hahaha. But 4x5 is even heavier and people don't complain. Looks like for good quality need to make sacrifices. I don't complain about it, just put it in a bigger bag and carry it. And I'm happy to have a good camera which is making high quality photographs.

Willem : Standing up on his sofa Me : Already this video gonna be good

[@ZachV93]

Glad to see you have a safe shell for your gear. Your last bag gave me anxiety man.

[@Neku125]

Wesley with the Safelight Berlin Sticker on the film case, cool stuff

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

well spotted! those guys are great!

[@squigglyline22]

The moment you check out red licorice’s albums and realize his tracks are all over willem’s, joe’s and Corey’s videos 🙌... It’s my favorite soundtrack to shoot to these days!

[@david0ung09]

Hey Willem, I’d love to see a video about how you’re finding your Fujifilm X-Pro2!

[@prodbyscars]

agree. just bought an xpro1 :)

[@SuperCacapedo]

So are we just gonna pretend this “making pictures” phrase isn’t throwing us all off

[@squigglyline22]

SuperCacapedo I assume it’s the Belgium speaking in him ^^

[@SuperCacapedo]

squigglyline22 lolol that’s a good guess but how do we explain Joe Greer using the same phrase, we must get to the bottom of this

[@andregonzales7711]

Making pictures has nothing to do with an accent in my opinion, to me it’s not just “taking pictures” because there’s such a process. It’s not just a simple click and go. You have to think about composing not to mentionThere’s editing and stuff after

[@SuperCacapedo]

Andre Gonzales So it’s the process of creating a whole scene within the frame through seeing, composition, and post processing. I like that! I’m with it 👌🏼

[@squigglyline22]

@@andregonzales7711 I agree 100%!! That is why I said it must have been the Belgian influence. I was guessing since Flemish is a germanic language and 'Verbeek' is definitely not french it stems from the same root maybe. I am from Germany and no one here takes pictures, we all 'make photos' in German. Ernst Leitz and Carl Zeiss would turn in their graves if we suddenly decide to just take them over here ;)

[@l_ngpham]

Always my most anticipated thing on every Sunday edit: every Wednesday now it seems

[@danielfadavi]

Everytime it's sunny and I see a classic car parked on the side of the road, I think Willem Verbeeck.

[@mahadmusse1594]

I’ve realised your voice has become less monotone, I’m very happy for you.

[@Shmyrk]

I’m gonna title this kind of subtle dig an “after burn”. You mention what you deem a “fault” in someone, by complimenting how great it is that its gone. They can only be internally and retrospectively offended, because if was after all, a “compliment”. Thats professional level passive aggression.

[@iamcoleee]

Datman lol chill out hahaha

[@mahadmusse1594]

Datman this is the funniest comment i’ve ever gotten

[@brntgudn]

i know this video is old but that tripod carry tip is a game changer!

[@emendoz1]

I love my Mamiya RZ67! It's been a workhorse since the 1980's. I think I'll take it out today.

[@Vega.pdf35mm]

Sell it to me

[@emendoz1]

@@Vega.pdf35mm That’s like selling one of my kids! I love that camera.

[@TheAlonsorh]

Siempre es un buen día cuando Willem sube un nuevo vídeo, greetings from Cancún, México.

[@emilio1998]

Exactamente hermano jajaja

[@kieleenasmith196]

Absolutely love your camera set up and photo style 👌🏾👌🏾✨

[@DualPixelCreative]

Great photo's man.. Really enjoyed learning more about your setup too!

[@whatjusee3307]

Might cop that viewfinder and handgrip what Wesley said about it being cumbersome Is so spot on lol

[@ioegreer]

sick rick

[@analoguenerd9285]

Went to a second hand camera shop last month to check RZ67/RB67, and found them way bigger than I expected! Considering the capability of my neck, I ended up with a Mamiya 645, also a very nice model!

[@robertrhoads2696]

I have been looking for a bag for my RZ67. I added the bag to my Amazon wish list for Santa to find. Great video!

[@AeromaticXD]

I LOVE the colours in your photos!

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@AeromaticXD]

Willem Verbeeck you’re welcome

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

yoooo that was a great morning! yours came out soooo nice and clean, nice work!

[@WillemVerb]

Too much funn man!

[@louishabicher2167]

Willem: proceeds to show us what’s in his camera bag Me: goes broke buying everything right before Christmas

[@anthonymiller8979]

Love the tripod carry tip. Will try that method for sure

[@haystack1893]

New sub here can’t wait for whatever you have to bring! 😂 I don’t know why but it is so satisfying to watch film photography. I am a digital photographer but I have to try this out one day!

[@KodakBoy]

Com 720 yes I encourage you to try out shooting film, it will definitely make you think for every shot especially with medium format

[@zebrahead89]

I'm seeing a Safelight Berlin sticker on Wesley's film case :)

[@rironald3]

Awesome video! Peak design really has some nice camera bags, I bought their messenger bag a few years back and I'm still using it! Main thing I like about your videos is the beats when showing your photos! Fuego!

[@TheSH1N1GAM1]

Great video! I’m so glad you share all of this with us.

[@CousinJamess]

just got the handle and prism finder for the rb67. excited to use it 😩

[@daniellesalazar921]

i love the colors & everything on these photos

[@stevenroberts9172]

That backpack tripod trick changed my life!

[@eccojammed]

11:02 i paused the video right there and said "holy sheeet those colors!"

[@WillemVerb]

Thanks Vape god

[@erwnalejo]

That tripod hack tho 🤯

[@nickkim5723]

Looks like Willem was taking some acting lessons! Eye contact, audience control, pro-nun-ciation is so much sleeker now. Impressive.

[@WillemVerb]

I haven't been taking lessons but definitely trying to get better. Thanks :)

[@worfbe]

Hey Willem, you added a few nice things to your Mamiya setup. Looks way better this way. I also didn't know Charles Michel has a twin brother living over there with an "aka"... In all seriousness now; is Wesley 'one of us' as well ? Grtzz

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

bijna, een noorderbuur new yorker

[@metalfingersfilm]

Great video, as always Willem. Interesting to see you venturing into more gear orientated videos! Excited to see what you have cooking for winter! ;)

[@Fairychild432]

Great video, your obsession with old cars is real. You could probably make a photobook with just cars and name it something different instead of "badly repaired cars" book. I want to suggest featuring your gf more in videos or maybe do a thrifting video.

[@KontezWRose]

great video, really waiting on that x-pro2 video

[@WillemVerb]

Will have to get to that soon

[@fairwayfrank]

Willem, another interesting video. Thanks. I've got a right-hand grip (with a double-stroke film advance/shutter control for one-handed operation) and prism finder on my Bronica SQ which makes for a nice walk-around set up. Heavier than the SQA without the grip and prism, but still lighter than my RB67.

[@JTroker]

Pretty good and smart.

[@ChairmanZhongXiNa]

Me: hey that bag looks cool how much is i- *$200* Me: *_fuck_*

[@leenkestens45]

I could watch this for hours!

[@tuchenciotuch3976]

Nice paperlike lamps. The backpack seems nice, does look like an elephant haha

[@sonygoup]

Wow oh wow that's huge. I wanna get one but the size. My Bronica ETRSI is gonna be my work horse until I figure out if it makes sense for me

[@RS-Amsterdam]

That bag is awesome !!

[@wonderfullymademedia]

That film look is beautiful af

[@momoxh]

i have a very similar setup, but with AE prism finder, this whole setup is so damn heavy, i don't know how you can hold it with one hand, amazing

[@jmiscischia]

And that's why I love my Pentax 6x7 :-) Nice video Willem

[@brand0nlim2]

Need that xpro2 review willem!

[@WillemVerb]

haha I havent used it much yet so ill have to get around to it

[@alvaromonje6804]

We need to see that flash in action. Greetings from Spain!

[@wysrthvnu]

I'm new to the channel and I really love your vibe and your work. Really keen on learning more from all your videos! Also I'm a die hard skate rat and would love to see some pictures of the NY skate scene!

[@punkrachmaninoff]

reeally like the promaster 'impulse small backpack' lately. it has a thingy for properly holding the tripod on the side, so as to AVOID smashing everything in the thrift shop... 😂📸

[@LongboardFreerideing]

I love your editing style!

[@georgethomas9694]

Sick vid as always! What’s up with the xpro ? swear you were gunna hit us up with some dank goodness from the fuji ?

please do a tutorial on how you tie your hoodie strings

Cool as usual man! Big up

[@imtech1]

what's the photo book on the shelf to you right? Also super random, but if you are ever in the San Diego area I would love to go out and shoot a couple of rolls of film with you and possibly have you on my podcast

[@tristanasT]

love RZ67..please make video about flash

[@KodakBoy]

Hey Willem, Have you heard of the recent announcements about Kodak raising the prices for film starting January? I’m a little bummed out rn lol just wanted to hear your thoughts Great video as always

[@alexanderwillems6611]

I Hate Photographers It’s kind of crappy at the consumer level but it’s an important move for the longevity and accessibility of film. They are raising their prices because they invested more into their film manufacturing

[@WillemVerb]

Fully agree with Alexander. I think there is good reason to it.

[@SuperCacapedo]

Where can I read more about this?

[@KodakBoy]

Alexander Willems wow I didn’t know that! Feel a lot better about it now lmao guess I’ll have to earn more money to afford film lol

[@Andrew-wb7wn]

im probbalby gonna get smacked with a really powerfull argument but, why dont you just get a mamiya 7?

[@WillemVerb]

nobody is getting smacked in my comments section

[@TheGyroBarqusShow]

willem what a great channel that you own??

[@jonmikolrosario]

yo yo stop playing games we need a new and updated video on how you scanned and edited the film from this video, colors are so brown! I love it! also, advice for when I get scans from the lab? my lab does bmp and not tiff, their scans are also super digital looking... my scans at home w/ the v600 are flat and imo just how I want them, but I'd like to speed up my scanning and editing process.

[@huyvu9306]

Willem, what's the specific name of the tripod you're using? I'm looking for one for my RB67 as well. Thanks!

Is there room in your camera bag for three extra film backs?

I miss ur rz67 stuff 💔

[@andresdiaz2578]

I usually have a camera bag whenever I do street photography. But I often worry about pickpocketers whenever I travel even though I haven't encountered one and I hope I don't but how do you deter pickpocketers from snooping into your camera bag when you do your shoots.

please give me sone infomation of the tripod?

Hi Willem, great video as always but this time about your tools that you use to create your art. I am planning to buy a good daily camera, laptop backpack with my hard earned money! What is your opinion on the comfort level of the shoulder straps? I heard people saying it is not comfortable.

[@Being_Joe]

Why the RZ over the RB? Just getting a feel.

[@iantafraidofnoghost1792]

Fire video 🔥 Would you consider shooting Polaroid? Just wondering. Best wishes, and again fire video 👌

i love watching your videos and it inspires me to play around with medium format. where did you buy your mamiya rz67 or mamiya 645? i’ve been looking for years and i can’t seem to find one :((

[@cjmarshall3642]

Hey Willem, what’s the name of the tripod you use? New to the medium format world and not sure what to get that’ll be good for the rz67. Appreciate what you do bro!

[@olisatasie-amadijr.9212]

Hey Willem, what type of cord or the name of the cord do you use to connect the flash to the mamiya

[@ndezha]

is there a place or website to grab a rz67 for a reasonable price? or can you shed light on what a reasonable price range is for this camera?

[@bbayek5573]

Amazing video - I love Mamiya RZ 67, how would you compare it to Pentax 67?

Man why don't you post these on your Instagram :/
