❤ Such a nice episode

08:50 You don't need a better Point and Shoot camera I think, instead try to understand the camera. That would make more of a difference than a new one, imo. Ps. Otherwise, go with the Konica C35 EF (new model). It's a great camera and can be used with little knowledge. And, it also has a build-in flash. Might come in handy in little light conditions.

06:50 I don't think the frame/viewfinder is off, I think you shot it at the wrong zone/distance. This is a great camera, especially for that time (you have an old model). Don't be so harsh on this little sweetheart. :) Because, when these - well designed - things don't work like you want to, 90% of the time it's because of the user, not because of the camera. Ps. When the viewfinder is blurry, for example, clean it with a cotton swap and some lens cleaning liquid. Also you can not judge/test the achievements of an analog camera by using expired film. Not properly. Pps. Refresh the batteries, that will probably also give you a better result, already. Among other things.

Great video. But, I think it's not an efficient approach to test a camera with expired film. When something's off in your shot, you never know if it's because of the camera, or the expired film. So, that's not a great way to test it (yes, speaking from experience :) Anyway, thanks for the upload!

Honestly your black and white shot were so good. Especially on a cloudy day. It was so soft, perfect for portrait and I wouldn’t want that roll to be in color!

hi sam lets say i put 800T into a point and shoot , would i still need the flash even in daylight?

If you want consistently good results stick with lomo 100, 400 and 800 speed films. The Metropolis and the 92 have this flat, grainy, muted color underexposed look which I am not a fan of. I did see a video recently of 2 photographers photographing the same model with Metropolis. The first tog schott at 400 and the second over exposed at 200. His came out the best. You should not be afraid to use fill flash or a reflector or open up the fstop. I have changed film speeds mid roll and had the lab develop as normal. They came out good. Don't worry too much.

Really enjoying all of your videos. The excellent images combined with the storytelling is just a perfect combination. What is that textbook that you referenced towards the end? Would love to find one like that

OMG photographers are always so hard on themselves the fotos turns out amazing !!

This type of focusing is called "scale focusing" because you must look at the scale on the lens.

really like your work! make me wonder whether I should try it myself. one question: do u use 85B filter? Thanks!

Model looks like you, perhaps she is your younger sister? This content is very good and medium format camera is fantastic!!!

Very interesting. I have been shooting B/W since the 70s and after attending a workshop years ago learning the Zone system I can say it totaly changed everything. You get so much more out of B/W film if yuu know that system and how to develop films. Just look at Ansel Adams pictures then you will know what I am talking about. Good luck and keep it going.

Sometimes photos should tell a story. We can't always search for perfection or we will be in each place for 20-30 minutes and annoy everyone.

Nice shot. If you don't sharing what metering mode do you use on the 645N wondering you get almost perfect exposures.

Young lady, you took me back to an age where I simply loved photography more then anytime in my 40 years of shooting. I had 500 c/m. I had so many accessories for that body. I shot a lot of weddings with that camera. I loved shooting B&W inferred and E6 slide films. I thought I would hate the 6x6 format. Being that I had been shooting with a Bronica 645 system for years. But after testing with it. I fell in love with the simplicity of it. Especially when shooting portraits and couples. It did make me slow down from 35mm and it fast focusing systems. It was bliss for me. The winding of the crank to advance the film to releasing the shutter and hearing the mirror slap against the body. No other camera make that sound! I want another Hassy. I would love the 501c. If I can find one at good deal. I'd probably buy it. Nonetheless, thank you for your wonderful video.

I am in the same boat as you were. Used to shoot film, then switched to digital and now want to go analog once more. Knowing what you know now, would you switch to the 645 first and then the 67, or go straight to the 67? I am looking at both cameras just like you once did! Refreshing videos, useful content and beautifully composed images, unlike most amateur videos on RUclips. Just subscribed!

I associate color images with commercial work - black and white images with artwork.

I can’t help thinking that you like walls or glass behind and near your subjects. Something seemed a little flat in the Chicago images. The LA pictures have we more vibrancy. Maybe it’s the psychological difference in attitude of the two places. LA is a creative hub - Chicago is more of a commerce hub.

this video is beautiful.

I almost exclusively shoot in black and white with my Mamiya 645. I enjoy how emotions are portrayed and conveyed in black and white photos, whether it’s a landscape, cityscape, or, most importantly, a portrait. It feels genuine and timeless to me. I’m loving your content and your page so far! Keep up the great work 😊

你的笑容太有感染力了。真的全程慢慢看完。我也是刚刚开始试用5219，好期待😀

The loud background music makes it very hard to follow your narrative.

Why not plug the sync cable into your Profoto trigger? No need for the pocket wizards at all.

67 has that unique look no other camera can get

How do you what power level the light should have when shooting with film? With digital, we can see the images right away, but not with film.

Sam, so pleased that you've taken a shine to one of the best all-manual SLR's in the world - I own several bodies from the F series, but the FM & FM2 (n) are sublime. One point upon we will disagree; personally the old gentleman would have looked far better in monochrome - as well that the woman in the hat was shot in B & W; it's interesting, the propensity of so many photographers to use colour negative (or positive) film over monochromatic, whilst not surporising, is my antithesis. Less than one third of the World's population see only in B & W - the rest of us see polychromatically - an everyday perception that we tend to overlook (& take for granted); this is why tonal rendition from say, a roll of Ilford FP4 or HP5 to name but two, is so dynamic - look at how punchy shades of grey are as opposed to a multicoloured contemporary. Ultimately, the film stock you use is a personal choice - so I won't force your hand to use more of what I consider my favourite...take it easy, Best, Andrew 🙂

This is when I subscribe after watching only one video. So well done! :)

Wonderful!

They torture tested these designs. They will out live the human race. Sorry you got fooled by the plasticky minolta X-700s. Minolta and Canon were competing over the most user friendly camera when Nikon was building a straightforward series of semi pro with the dependability of an F3. I love my Canon A-1 and it will always be my first camera. It's still ticking healthily, but my FM3a will go to the grave with me. Next I'm looking at an FM2n because the LEDs are a life saver. I also get the AE lock button on my FM3a so not having LEDs aren't the end of the world if I keep it in Aperture Priority. It works with a SB-800 flash too perfectly. You now need the DC 105mm f/2 now. Best lens in the world for film.

很 好照片!

A grey card will help your meter get a more accurate light reading

I keep a Canon lens cap on my Nikon FM3a haha

AE-1 was and is a terrible camera with a bad cough and you're lucky to not find one.

ur so cute !!

簡潔...讚！

It was a very solid camera. I shot hundreds of rolls of film. Always dependable.

Canon A-1 is my favorite film camera. Still have mine!

I learned to carry an extra LR44 battery years ago with a Canon AE-1 P. Now, I keep a spare for the AE-1 and my A1.

My wife is from Wuxi China and my first time visiting her hometown, we visited her old home which was also being torn down for a high rise. We were young and I never noticed that the photos I took at the time were very different from what I take now. I missed a lot of moments, such as her visiting her old home, but I am grateful I can go back, look at my photos from that trip and mentally recall these scenes. I can remember the way she felt that day, the food we ate, and our lives at the time. Great video, and great work!

Sounds like you like color. No need to shoot B&W. I like both but feel it is easier to develop and scan B&W than color.

I like trying out different cameras but prices being what they are I'm in the camp of match good optics with your film. I love my Holgas but film is too expensive to experiment. If you like the TLR experience then it is worth lookingat the Rolliflex.

Hi lovely lady, the FM 2 you got look so new, is it a new one ?

I’m glad there is someone else out there who forgot how shallow the hasselblad’s DOF can be when it’s stopped down and indoors

Beautiful story telling in this video Sam, thanks for sharing a bit about your background as well.

@02:00 you say the Profoto flash needs to be brand specific for the trigger. This is ONLY true for the TTL remote but that is because the pin connectors are different for sony, nikon, canon etc (hardly protofoto fault). If you buy the plain Profoto Air Remote it is universal (works with all brands) and has PC sync cord. No one uses TTL at this level anyway... I use the profoto remote for Mamiya, hasselblad, leica etc and it is wireless because the remote attaches to the camera and the hot/cold shoe which triggers strobe. RZ67 & hasselblad have pc sync port and you plug a small cord into the Air Remote (has a pc sync port). You need the right attachments for Leica film cameras and Mr Leica on his youtube channel explains it, but any Impact cold shoe adapter with pc cable works (b&h). Sam, you bought the right profoto strobe but wrong remote trigger.

Look at yourself in your bw video! The contrast between your dark hair and pale smooth skin attracts my view and also the eyes and the lips gain attention. I think in color it would look more “average”. ❤🎉 Great video. 👏

Love 😎

This is an awesome review and education. Thank you 🙏

I'm INFP, too, and dread photowalks, but your walk looked fun. Thanks for sharing.
