Always a great video dude!!

Great video dude! Nothing hits like ancient ruins followed by a cold blue can of fix beer! This took me back to a trip I took throughout Athens and Meteora

Fabulous photos and really enjoyed the video and your narrative 😊 Rhodes looks like the place cars go to die.

You could buy 3 Koni Omega Rapid 100s for that price which is also a 6x7 rangefinder. Its almost as weird as the Linhof, but extremely well built.

Really great video.

So cool, very smoth travel vlog. I adore the goats on the beach ha ha! Lovely images man, good choice of gear! Thanks for sharing the trip. 🎉

very much enjoyed this video!

Chode Coke’s & goats, what else can a man ask for. Sick vid Bren!

I really like my Nikon F as well. Mine is rocking with the pre-AI 28mm F2, that is definitely a unique lens. Thanks for the Greek travel not Greek tragedy!...:)

That Mamiya 6 / Fuji Pro 400H combo is divine! Also, you can never go wrong with a Nikon F. I also really enjoyed the history being thrown into this video, it added more to the photos knowing the details of the sites you were at.

You're a man after my own heart with the beer montage every 30 seconds.

Gorgeous shots! I need to make my way to Greece

You’re very underrated keep going

Stunning images! I actually really like the look of the expired Pan F

Do you ever shoot your Pentax 67 on a tripod?

Excellent what is the filter size for this lens?

I think the mamiya tlr's are a great camera for people wanting hasseblads....but not a tlr oddly. To me they don't offer the core benefits of a tlr: quiet shutter, light weight, compact package-- but they also deliver image quality right there with a hasselblad for a 1/5, possibly even 1/10th, of the cost.

Bren, great video as always! I have a lovely Super Ikonta 531 with a Tesser lens, such a joy to use! Just one question, have you had trouble scanning your negs with the way the camera spaces out the negatives? The spaces between negs is very small and my v600 cuts the images in half from image 2 onwards. I probably need to learn research my scanner a bit more!

So what is so contrasty about b&w

Great video man. Amazing shots and need to check out one of these cameras

Congrats on the haul! I have the Nikon 50mm/1.4 and adapt it onto my digital camera I love it so much.

IKONTA... from the word IKON NOT EKONTA JEEEEZ. CAN'T WATCH THIS

lovely video! I don't think you mentioned anything about changing your exposure compensation? Did you shoot +1 (or more?) or leave it at 0? Thanks!

Great video and even better shots! I recently bought a C330 Kit that even came with the original suitcase. To get around the extreme parallax error, there is an accessoire called a paramender (I think there are 2 or 3 models) that allows you to focus close up and compose in your viewfinder and then raise the camera so that the taking lens comes to the level of the focusing lens and then you can take the shot the way you envisioned it. A bit cumbersome, but a great addition if you're not in a hurry.

This is one of the top five videos I've seen on UA-cam EVER!!!

Great video. Yesterday someone popped a Voigtländer rangefinder into my letterbox. I don't know who, and the most obvious culprit denies it was him. Anyway, I knew it was a photography tool but that's all I knew to begin with, so a search found your video. Do you have any instructions on how to use the rangefinder? The one I have is identical to the one you show in your video other than the measure is in feet instead of metres. That suggests to me that the one I have was probably made for the UK market. Thank you.

For the light meter in the Mamiya 6, I use my hand to shade the viewfinder every time I take a shot. It works pretty well. I've also seen some people 3d print a little hood for the viewfinder too.

Good stuff! Curious what your scanning process is?

The Thrift Store I frequent had a C220 body only for almost a year. The workers kept trying to get me to pick it up, but I love my Argoflex and wasn't looking to replace it. They were having a spring cleaning sale and it dropped to a ridiculous price that I should have grabbed. I talked to my wife about it that night, she gave me the green light, I go back the next day and it's gone. If I ever need to replace my Argoflex, the C220 is the only TLR I'd consider. Just for closure, but as this video shows, awesome quality as well.

I fell in love with the C220 immediately.

I've had my C220 and it's 65mm, 80mm, and 135mm lenses since 1982. In 1984 I picked up a new C330 and it's still in the box waiting on it's first roll of film. Because I really enjoy the ritual of winding and then cocking the shutter to take a picture. Shutters on all 3 lenses are still working fine and at 1/8 second all three time out near perfect. Just picked up 10 rolls of Ektar 100 and next nice day plan on doing some Panoramics of some small towns nearby Downtowns. Hey, if you want a wide angle it's just a 3 panel panorama away. BTW I have a Epson V800 and have sorted out how to focus the film carriers so I can scan anything I shoot which in my case is 35mm to 4x5. BTW with this scanner it's best to scan at resolutions that are multiples of 1600, because intermediate settings feature interpolation artifacts that degrade find detail.

Yeah, these are awesome cameras. Bodies are kinda heavy, but lenses are small and light. The 180mm is especially great (I am referring to the newer version; never tried the old one). It can be hard to find lenses without haze. There’s a big difference in performance; the clear ones have better contrast. You can get away with a light tripod since the leaf shutters don’t make a lot of vibration and you don’t want a tall tripod anyway.

Fucking genius idea for the tape on the multi shot knob!!! I check that goddamn knob as much as I wind the film on my C220. Great video and shots. Lassen NP has to be on my list of more underrated NP to go to. I was very happy with that place.

Beautiful photos! Cliche or not, I love those motel sign shots

Your video is really cool. I tested an expired Kodak Portra 400 NC in 2002. Although it tended to be purple, I think the images came out amazing in medium format, with my Rolleicord III. ua-cam.com/video/Z39xNO7vUX8/v-deo.html

My first medium format camera was a C-3 that I bought in 1974. When I look at my negatives from that time they are far superior to the 35mm negatives that I shot. I would love to have another Mamiya tlr again!

Thank you !

That tree on the rock was the best one! Just beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing. Mamiya TLRs are probably the most underrated of the truly great camera systems. Affordable. Solidly professional build quality. The mechanical linkages to make the whole thing work (and work reliably) are a marvel of Japanese engineering. As you say, getting a wide lens on a TLR (I'm lucky enough to have the 55mm), and having a pretty much default, inexpensive 80mm f2.8 when you pay through the nose for that on other systems? Knockout. I've neglected mine since I got a Pentax 6x7 which has the virtue of magical simplicity. But I must make more use of my Mamiyas going forward - especially taking advantage of the leaf shutters which I don't have for any other system (I bought all these when digital fever hit in the early 2000s and got everything for super cheap). The parallax indication is a winner. Although I also wouldn't mind having the accessory that raises the camera off the tripod to the height of the viewing lens before exposure. The only downside to these vs. traditional TLRs? They're big as hell. And more complex to operate. I have the C330 and the C220. And I prefer the C220. It's just more compact and manageable. It's still about twice the size of my little Yashica D, but the C330 is a real beast. These were a really big wedding camera back in the day. Before the advent of DLSRs there was an expectation that wedding photographers be unseen and unheard. And the Mamiya was an entry into a versatile, medium format camera with a nearly inaudible shutter.

Love my c220! I also have a c3 but never had a chance to use it yet. Great video and awesome photos

I've just started to use my C-220. It is a wonderful camera! Nice shots in my home area of Shasta County!

If you have or buy even a cheap spanner wrench, the Mamiya TLR lenses are actually quite easy to clean. My 65mm gets hazy, so I just unscrew it and clean it off. Works great. I even take out inner lens elements if I need to. I just have a sharpie handy and I quickly mark a forward arrow on the outer edge of the glass so I know which way it goes back in. All of my TLR lenses have been apart to clean by now. Some seem to get fogged more than others. It is paint or lube or such outgassing that precipitates on the lens. It comes right off. Chris

I have a Mamiyaflex 2 that belonged to my dad. Vintage late 50s I believe. It has the 105mm lens and has been a lot of fun.

I love folding cameras. I've got a few. Nice images.

Hi! I love the C-Series - my favorite TLR andy only 6x6. Pro tip: someone created an adapter allowing you to mount Kiev 88 or Hasselblad prisms on these. Google it - you'll find the 3D model file, then pay for a Nylon 12 laser sintering print from xometry. I use a metered Kiev 88 prism on mine. I also use an upgraded Olsen focus screen. With those upgrades, it is a dream to use! Even without them, I prefer the C330 over the Rollei flex.

Thanks for a great video. This summer I bought a C220 as well as the 65, 105 and 180 mm lens. I enjoy it a lot. Very nice focus and shooting experience.

Absolute gems! A stellar set of images too! 🎉

Quality!

Those night shots came out so good! They came out super clean. As well, I refound my love of my Mamiya C220 this year. It was one of my first medium format cameras that I ever picked up, but it kinda got pushed to the back of the collection. After picking up the 65mm, 105mm, and a 135mm lenses I began to shot with it a bunch this summer and really enjoyed what I captured with it! As well nothing better then a can of "Vitamin R" halfway thru a hike. Great video!

I got given a C220 as my first film camera like 6 months ago. it's the only camera that's never given me a single issue. works perfectly, shots look perfect. my favourite film camera.

Fantastic photos!
