It's certainly more versatile than the Rolleiflex. After purchasing the C3 in 2022, practically the rest of my fixed-lens TLRs (Rolleiflex, Rolleicord, Yashica Mat etc) stay happily on drybox.

3:39 never heard of, or even saw Leidolf cameras, very interesting. Love to see how smooth the advance lever operates. I also love to sit around using cameras with no film in it, hehe

Love my rollei! I have a K4A; which model is yours? I just received a Kowa six and ruined two rolls of film confirming the winding gears on the body are jacked and it needed a CLA so don’t feel too bad 😂

Appreciated this video.

Nice chill, relaxing video Jim! I recently picked up two different flea market finds. One was a sleeper gem, a Super Fujica Six folder. Cleaned and fixed it up and it's ready to test out. Can't wait to take it out and use it as I'm sure it will turn a few heads. Have a great New Year! 😀

Sample Pictures were Amazing - loved the Minox here. I Was able to pickup the Revue 900 recently for 20 EUR on Ebay - These are still a bit under the Radar compared to the Chinon though.

Another great video- I really enjoy the channel and your work. Do you shoot any particular film stock with the Leica lllc? Is that Elmar coated or uncoated? Yes, would love to see a video on Eggleston, color, and the Leica.

Being a P&S, Revue 900 is amazing sharp. Is those Portra 400?

I love the strap you have in the leica IIIc, did you buy that separately?

You can focus the Rolleiflex close too, Stichwort Rolleipar.

In fact it is not a curtain but a flap.

Nope, that is not the finger with which you release the shutter of a Rolleiflex.

Where did you get the idea it was Mamiyas answer to the Rolleiflex? Only for the fact you never heard about other TLRs with changeable lens does not mean Mamiya made this camera as a product competing the Rolleiflex.

Yes

Mamiya TLR Paramender Parallax Compensator for C330 & C220 This accessory will help with the focusing and get the subject back into the middle of the frame. [

I regularly use the C220. The reason I settled on the C220 is that it is the lightest of the Mamiya TLRs. I use it for travel, mostly, or when I want to take my medium format out. Yes, the great advantage is that the lenses are quite fixable....the disadvantage in my experience, is that they need fixing quite a lot. 😞 Still, a great camera to use.

Great to have you back on here✌️

There are 7 lenses for it a 55,65,80,105,135,180 and a 250. I have the c330 and have own one of these cameras since the early 80 s and love it. You can use the paraminder to correct for the close focusing.

I have had the C3, C220f, C330f and C330s. I have used the 55mm, 80mm, 105mm, 135mm, 180mm and 250mm lenses. My least favorite lens was the 250mm, it is just so large and awkward . All of the lenses are superb. I actually ended up selling all of my Mamiya TLR’s, kept the Rolleiflex Automat and 2.8D. I think my reason was that I have so much invested in the Rolleiflexes and use the 80mm mostly and the smaller size . The big advantage of the Mamiya TLR’s, cost less, interchangeable lenses and bellows which allow close focusing, easier to fix. With the Rolleiflex, if your lens and shutter goes, you have to send the entire camera in for repair. With the Mamiya, just send the lens in for repair, buy another lens or both. You can have multiple back up lenses and bodies.

Nice video, When loading film, the two arrows on the film are supposed to be aligned to the two red dots on rails alongside the film. Close the back at that point and finish winding to the first frame,

Great video man! Glad to see another upload from you!

I used to shoot with a c22 back in the 90s. Loved it. I loved the feel of it. Best camera for taking pictures of people while having a conversation with them. Can get through a whole roll of film before they ask when I was going to start taking photos. The square format is still my favourite.

TLR's are fantastic, especially the more rugged Mamiya models, but for short kings, they are not :(

I was so happy to see a new Quiet American video pop up on my feed! Hope to see more in the future. I really enjoy your videos!

Rollei 35 is one of the greatest cameras. Sadly it isn‘t perfect, which is. Quality of film transport is debatable, all R35 I used or had ate film, loved to eat film after a while. R35 if not Automatic is fiddly or pre-set to your liking. Don‘t drop it, it breaks easily (plastic, mechanics) and dent for sure (thin case). Repair is relevant in cost. What then? Whatever suits you! I loved Pentax Espio mini, I don‘t think the ML35 Minox is as good as the R35, I love the Barnack but it‘s U-Boat viewfinder and exposure time handling isn‘t for everyone. I use M4 and M11, but for most a great used M6ttl is what I suggest, aside from the espio mini (or it‘s market friends, yashica T2-5, olympus mu-ii, …) at low rates though only - plastic fantastic, no parts for repair, aside from other defect cameras or glueing stuff. 1. M6ttl 2. M4 3. Barnack, i.e. IIIF Or SLRs (SRT101, K1000, F2) and the best lenses, the lens makes the picture character with the film, the photographer only finds the motiv, the camera has almost nothing to do with the photo, other than to comfort physical and personal parameters. My travel kit: Film: M4, SLX50 pre-asph, HP5, nobag Digital: M11, NLS50f1.2, nobag Party: Instax Project: choice of M-, R-, m39- lenses and fitting camera for purpose (macro, surfing, birding, aurora, …) in a bag for transport and fixed installment at project site. Compact? What‘s not compact on an M? Use your phone, then, if the camera is a burden.

nice to have a new video from you also nice to know about a lab in Frankfurt - might stop by on this xmas break

I hate using mine! The images are super sharp from the Tessar. Mine is dented, paint missing, slow speed are too slow.Sunny days it's great.Can be used with gloves! Buy the German model. Singapore is a bad copy! No Compur Shutter cheaper Japanese.Body thinner metal.

big fan of the rollei 35 I love all of its quarks

First I thought this is from a guy in the USA. But suprise, my hometown Frankfurt! Last week i got my 35 SE back from Service. Compact little gadget. Thanks for the video. have fun with your cameras.

If you want to open a beer with your camera, the bottom plate of a M camera would be perfect for it. It's like a Multi-Tool, german engineering baby 🍺.

It’s funny because I only just bought my Rollei 35 S because I saw all the videos of the new 35 AF, I was totally ignorant to the Rollei 35 cameras prior. Now that I’ve started shooting the 35 S it’s now my favourite camera

Liked and subscribed

nice video but the photos are not sharp at all..

thank you! Good to know about the camera, the Studio and I really enjoyed the atmospheric presentation -walking in the city.

Great to see you back! I agree with the point of being a classic looking camera (which is why I own a 35 S) but it‘s definitely unique in operation. Can work like a charm if getting used to it. I had the same thoughts about the distance symbols and that‘s probably why I liked using the Olympus XA-2 more

It's incredible that it's been 3 years. Continue. Following.

Happy Thanksgiving, 🦃

Noice, beautiful photos of a beautiful city

Welcome back!

I think Leica stuck with the bottom loader out of pride and an appeal to people’s pretentiousness, i.e., they were too proud to be accused of copying Canon, and they probably thought that snobby folk could be fooled into believing that only peasants load film the common sense way. The fact is, that bottom-loading system may have been fine at a time when they were figuring things out, but it was just a plain stupid decision to have kept it.

That was hilarious. Thanks for bringing some levity to this subject.

Smoke stacks out the bus window. Don't see those too often anymore, not out west anyway. This feels like an art film.

What do you set the film counter to on a new roll of 36?

Hello there o/ M4 was my dream camera and finally after years i got it. You know what was my 1st roll of film? Totally blank XD I have watchd a lot of vidio bacck b4 i bought mine but finally i just did it wrong. Is Leica a good camera hmmmm it is but the best camera ever for film is Nikon F6 and somedey i will get it too ;3

Hey your my favorite person on this platform...i wish you would come back 😢

can you do a review and how to use it properly ? Please

This is hilarious

great video, thanks for the info 😊

Leicas are actually easy to load if you just follow the fine manual. Yes, face it, 100 % your own fault! And I'm saying this to myself while standing in front of mirror as I have been there too with my first Leica. Just stop making assumptions of how it should work, forget what you are doing with a swing-open-back camera and follow the manual and it's easier, faster and more elegant to load than any other system. I also enjoy a Canon VT and my SLRs but not because of the loading.

There are a lot of UA-camrs who try very hard to be funny, and they bomb every time. You, my good man, are a natural comedian. Haven't been this entertained in a while. Thank you for sharing. Question: when you originally purchased your Canon P, did it need any calibrating? I've heard the rangefinder can be knocked out of alignment quite easily, and the viewfinder may need adjustment depending on your vision. I'm not 20/20. I'm assuming you are. I'm not sure if this makes sense to you. I'm new to RFs, so any advice from you (or anyone watching this video) about the Canon P would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! 😉
