Camping with Mamiya C330
I took my Mamiya C330 with Mamiya Sekor 55mm f4.5 TLR lens to a camping trip. It's a perfect camera for these kind of things, very robust, no moving component and takes great photo! I used Kentmere 400 and pushed it two stops to 1600. Hope you like it!

True 👌
thanks for the video ... i have the tripod but i have with the second section of the tripod legs ... it's not opening at all .. !! did u have this problem ?
Mine was ok. Is it the twisting locks? Maybe you can force it to open
right to the point: i do appreciate your excellent review 08:20 what is the moderne lens you talk about? (to avoid flare)
@@andrevaudrin3164 Glad you found it useful. That modern lens is only my fuji 18-55 mm f2.8-4 lens and a Pentax 645
what park is this?
Nice photos, looking forward to see more on film!
Stay tuned! I'm gonna use it on film a lot
Haven't seen a lot of real reviews about this. How do you like it?
Needless to say that I love it!!!
Nice photos. I love your commentary
Thank you 🙏
Love your channel, keep it up with the great shots.
Thanks you 😊
can you share in what situations you would or would not use flash with this mju camera?
For outdoor photos, I usually turn the flash off, but for indoor I just let the camera decide
Hi, you made my day because I had Mamiya C330 with the 80mm when I was in photography college (CEGEP Vieux-Montréal) in 1970. But I did not bought a other lens after . Great souvenir !!! I keep the camera 3 years. Great souvenir !!! But now I regret that sold it. Great souvenir !!! Great video...THANKS !!!
@@marcfoto Glad to bring some memories back!
I got my first one in 1975.
Awesome, do you still use it?
@@frozenf8 I have a few Hasselblads, I was a pro for many years; but no, these days they don't get used, I just can't imagine letting them go.
Great info. Thanks. Do you know if the S waist level finder works on a Mamiya C220?
Glad you liked it. I never worked with Mamiya C220 but based on what I find online, there is not a lot of difference between the two, so I imagine that the S viewfinder can be used on C220, but you gotta research more to make 100% sure.
@@frozenf8 check out the Photrio forum classifieds today for some C330 sports finder masks and a C330 manual if you don’t have one.
I really love the video and the story you shared. I really love the camera too. Mr first Zenit was the 12XL; the identical twin of the 122 produced for the Latin American market. I loved that camera so much, I bought the Zenit 122 as well 🥰 These cameras can be operated at subzero temperatures...not too many cameras can do that! 🤗 Awesome cameras that...in spite of their plastic shell...are built like tanks! 🥰
Thanks for sharing your story and glad that you liked the video 🙏
The halatian worked well. I think my favourite was the Cat - just because less cliched than the rest; that is NO reflection on you, I’m not saying your work is ever cliche, just recognising that cinestill t has some fairly distinct use cases, and where you are is not exactly awash with choice… That’s one of the joys of modular cameras tho. If you have the money to dedicate a film back to it, you can always have a specialist night urban film loaded in ready to take the one or two pics at a time when you want it… Thanks again for sharing your work, enjoyable as always.
I also like the Cat trucks the most. It's a good idea to dedicate a separate film back to a favorite film stock. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
Beautiful shots!
Thanks! Glad you liked them!
Jump from 35mm to 645 is pretty large, jump from 645 to 6x9 may not feel as huge but is still signifficant. That being said, I like my GW690 and GSW690: lenses are good and negative size is pretty large. As I rarely shoot wide open, especially with a bit stopped down, plenty sharp. Much more portable and faster to use than my 4x5 that has also it's place when movements are needed. In my headphones the winding sound seems pretty much what my cameras sound, perhaps with a bit of weird metallic sound but that may be due to audio recording or whatever.
Thanks for your comment. That 90mm lens is very sharp of course and negative size is just beautiful!
Hello, Could you say how long a typical exposure time was with the IR filter? Do you think there is any downside to the TLR with filter? Thanks. Liked the video 👍
Hi, thank you! Using the R72 IR filter, makes that Rollei Infrared behaves like an ISO 6 film. So you can set your light meter to iso 6. For example, if it's a bright sunny day and you're on f4, shutter speed should be around 100
Are all C330 cameras the same? Or is it like the Rolleiflex with a half dozen different models?
As far as I know, Mamiya TLR models are far less than Rolleiflex. In the Rolleiflex worlds there are different focal lengths and different maximum apertures. But in the Mamiya TLR world,there is C330, C330F and C330S which are basically the same, with minor differences. Of course there are older models like Mamiya C33, C22 and C220, but they have been replaced by slightly more advanced C330 models.
what chemistry did you use to develop this film?
It is done in C41
Do you think it's better in e-6 at 100 iso?@@frozenf8
That is a nice looking piece of equipment! I did consider buying a C330 for a while because of the interchangeable lenses and the bellows focusing but ended up buying the Fujica GL690 rangefinder camera and three lenses instead. One of my lenses, the 100mm f3.5, came with quite a lot of haze inside and had to be sent to an expert repairer to be thoroughly cleaned. The result now, as with the other two lenses (65mm and 180mm), is really superb image quality with no issues about sharpness, colour rendering, flair or chromatic aberration. I would expect the Mamiya lenses to be as equally good as Fuji's, but that does not seem to be the case judging by your images. So my question is whether you have checked your 250mm lens for internal haze or fungus. The best way is to do this is to look through the lens, with the shutter open and the aperture wide open, while shining a very strong white LED light source through it from the other end. That should reveal any such problem very clearly.
You are right, it had a thin layer of haze, I didn't ecpecy it to reduce the contrast that much, but I'm quite happy with my othrr Mamiya lenses, and I'm gonna live with this one until I get it CLAed.
How did it hold up?
Took it like a champ!
How many money i must pay for nikon f with meter and 50mm lens that is in so perfect condition please?
nice photos! did you use in-camera film mode for the B&W shots or edit in post?
Thank you! I edited in post
yeah for one and half hour...in field
For the self timer, the metal poking bit have to be extended long enough for it to trigger the shutter button. Try loosing the middle part of the "barrel" and then turning the tip of the timer until proper length. Then screw back the middle part to set it in place
Thank you, I'll give it a try
That’s my 250mm that I just sold on eBay! Small world haha! Love to see it going to good use
Wow small world indeed! Love the lens so far
Yesssss we have similar toys… The porofinder is disappointing; I also need to get mine adjusted as the mirror is wonky. The paramender is (imho) essential to unlock the magnificent bellows…. The 250mm is great, but needless to say needs a tripod. Look forward to seeing how you use it. Thanks for posting, love it whenever I see you’ve got a new vid up
Thank you! Glad to see Mamiya C330 is being used and love as a system. I've already taken a couple of rolls with the 250mm, and waiting for the results.
Nice job, and what a wild look with those new lenses!
Thanks! I'm really excited about this 250mm lens. The longest lens for TLR!
Welcome to 1970. But why? A big boat anchor with no automation shooting expensive 120 film. I was there in the 1970's shooting 'Blads. Disco was also hot in the 1970s. Do you really want to go back?
I'm a little tired of this fast paced techy world with AI and smart phones and global shutter and 30 fps. Being slower than digital and "no automation" is more satisfying. But it is only me! Some people don't like film and it's totally ok.
Holy grail portrait lens, the F mount 105/ 2.8. To this day. You want bokeh?
I should try it
The Holy grail lens is the f2.5, I believe.
My 1st real camera was a SRT101 in '71. A great camera. But any budding photo journalist lusted for the F. Mowing lawns won't cut it. (Pun). In 2005 I bought one. Silver, mint, 1.2 lens. In heaven. I used it alot, & with darkroom gone, it cost alot. Mainly b/w. Digital doesn't compare in imho.
It's amazing how this camera is loved during the past 60 years!
Excellent video, well done, loved the shots, I only got the 240 myself the other day and so far I’m loving it so much I’m selling my Q2
Thank you! Q2 is an amazing camera, but M cameras are something else!
@@frozenf8 totally agree, I got the Q2M and then saw a good deal for the 240, once I got the 240 I realised how awesome they are, now so want a M10M to compliment my 240. I also got a 50 Summicron v5 to match it. I will be uploading a POV photowalk with it in a few days - greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
@ronaldcphotography Awesome 👍👍
My copy, doesn't rattle and the aperture ring is snug and positive clicking to the aperture stops. It is quite sharp in the centre wide open with a heavy fall-off as you go out from the centre. Stopping down expands the centre field of focus, reaching optimum at F8. It glows in the highlights when wider than F2.8. It's an enjoyable to use, unpretentious, honest vintage 50mm "cron".
It's a good lens for sure, I think my copy needed a CLA
@@frozenf8 ..... .....I meant to say "stopping down expands the centre field of sharpness..."
Nice job with the review. I really appreciate that you spoke about the MS optics lenses that influenced this lenses existence. 👍
Thank you! MS Optics lenses are the original, but for more expensive, and based on my findings the performance are almost the same. But I still love to try their 24mm one day
Tempting for my ZF if they make it for Nikon?
I don't think they have it for Z mount, but you can always use an adapter
A good example of the Nikkor F1.2 is near half the price of the TTartisan F0.95.
True! Nikon is cheaper, but I've seen used TTArtisans as low as $500 which I think is a good deal
@frozenf8 yes but in Australia they are Aud$1150 and I've seen the AIS F1.2 go for $650 here, although that was over 2 years ago...
In this case, if you want to use it on a mirrorless it is obvious go for the Nikon, but if you need the rangefinder coupling to use it on an M mount camera and want to pay less, then maybe consider TTArtisan 50mm f1.4
@frozenf8 - yes very good point too....👍
Wise choice! I love my M3, it's my go-to camera.
Awesome! Enjoy your mighty M3 👍
Love my 90 APO. Use it on M10, M10R, Nikon z6 2 & 7 2. 55 mm Elpro 3 & 4 makes it a nice close focus and easy to carry. #3 area covered is 4x6 inches to 9 x 6 inches. #4 is 9 x6 to 13 x 20. Elpros are 2 element close lenses and were made for Leica R and there is no quality loss like you get with cheap ones.
Awesome! Nice tip about Elpros! I'm gonna give it a try
@@frozenf8 Stop down as depth of field is small. I used same target as I used from 5 feet, 210 mm lens, f22, on 4x5. All in focus Some areas with this were out because I was closer and/or because I was using 5.6. I have been trying to buy current close equipment from Leica and they never have stock.
@@ronaldmoravec2692 Thanks 👍
This is the nicest film camera I have ever seen. I wish they weren't so expensive and hard to find globally. I would love one of these one day. I think FujiFilm should make their next X100VII this small. Ha ha
These are fine cameras, not the best, but cool and fun to use! I really wish one of the big companies could bring back Rollei 35 or some of other famous cameras from the film era! I guess we have to wait and see
Yeah, it would be nice for them to rerelease this. I can’t see them being very expensive to make. Even cooler would be a digital camera in this size. It’s an engineering marvel
the 503CW is a waste of money. The floating mirror adds nothing of use and only a source of failure. You can add accessories that are becoming increasingly expensive and harder to find. The later, brighter view screen can be fitted into the 500CM, I put one in mine. They also weren't made in one place, with production instead being farmed out around the world, causing variable quality. I got rid of my 503CW (having purchased it before knowing) this and bought a 500CM after having to get the 503CW serviced/unjammed twice. I bought a 500CM 30 years older and I've not had a single problem with it.
I'm glad you said this. When buying this, I was always thinking about not having the gliding mirror and if I'm losing anything! Did you use your 500CM with longer lenses? Any bad vignetting compared to 503CW?
@@frozenf8 there's no problem with vignetting without the floating mirror. The mirror is only for composition, it has no effect on the final image because it flicks up. I own the longest lens, 500mm, and I've used it on both bodies. It made no difference I've been able to tell, in spite of allegedly improving the composition area. This caused me to think they were banking on not many people actually owning one of the longer lenses (they are after all really expensive) this feature applied to and seeing how useless it actually is. They added it as a feature when more stuff had to be added to justify a new version.
Thank you 👍👍
@@frozenf8 If you ever think about getting the 500mm lens, it's unbelievably heavy, so you'll need a really good tripod and probably a new head for it. Plus once you focus on something before infinity everything 100-150 feet in front of or behind your subject will also be in focus, so no subject isolation is possible. It's an astonishingly good lens, but not the same as those built for 35mm/digital cameras.
@careypridgeon I actually like the 500mm and I think I'm gonna get it one day. I know it's very heavy and having f8 means tripod needed. But regardless of all these I want to give it a try!
Thanks for the links to other videos as well. I’ve a lot more to learn about mine!
You're welcome! There's so much useful info on youtube
Love the sound of the Hasselblad when it is fired. Not sure just what types of images you make but you can't to far wrong if you add the 150mm Sonnar or the 120mm S-Planar.
Thank you! I've seen people talking about Hasselblad holy trinity, 50, 80 and 150. I really want a 40mm, but I'm in no rush.
I know all about that that itch!
Yeah, tell me about it
Nice to meet you, I'm Japanese. I own two Nikon F cameras, which are also my father's belongings. I have both eye-level finder and FTN viewfinder, but I think it's better to use a stand-alone exposure meter with the eye-level finder.
Nice to meet you too! Wishing you lots of good photos with your Nikon cameras, and thanks for watching
Don’t get rid of it, in a lapse of judgement years back I let someone use it for a photo journaling session and never saw it again. I have been heartbroken over this camera. I still miss it.
I will never let it go!
Where did you get the focal range chart at 3:44? is that from an app? Thank you
It's from an iphone app called TrueDOF. I'm pretty sure a lot of other similar apps exist that do the same thing
I never use Iso I keep mine at iso 100 always you shouldn't use it that much the photo's become grainy
Right, when I had the camera, most of the times I kept it at iso 160. I used high iso for emergency only and converted it to BW
I have a Nikon F with Photomic Ftn meter head with a Nikon Nippon Kogaku 50mm f/1.4 lens, camera body circa late 1971/early 1972; the lens somewhat older than that because it's labeled 'Nippon Kogaku'. Both excellent condition. The meter works fine I had to get a couple of voltage adjusting battery adaptors to use modern equivalent silver oxide batteries. I call my Nikon F the 'Ford vs. Ferrari' camera because the same camera appears early in the film 'Ford vs. Ferrari'. Love using mine it's an iconic piece of photographic history and I get a lot of 'what kind of camera is that?' questions.
Awesome setup! enjoy!
Nice shots overall, but would have liked more film photos from your Leica M3. A digital camera is easy to use because a microchip does most of the work vs. focusing & setting your exposure on the Leica M3. London is one of the best places to do street photos because of its older architecture and busy streets. Interesting trip for photos.
Agree with you, I should shoot more and more film 👍👍
Thanks for the review man! It's was really useful
Thanks for your comment. Really glad to see my video was helpful
