Chicago Street & Documentary Photography 2024 with Fujifilm X100VI
Welcome,
Please enjoy these photographs illustrating the fashion, celebrations and movements of the city of Chicago.
Each photograph is just a reflection of light with a backscattering of our own interpretations. Some of the photographs here will age gracefully but I believe most will show the novelty and fashions of a city in the year 2024. I would love to view these photos a hundred years from now.
All photographs were made with the Fujifilm X100VI, a digital rangefinder camera.
Captioned about these images are in timecode-chapters below.

1970s Chicago on Film Street Photography

Chicago Images from the 1970s. A video retrospective presenting my photos of Chicago from the 1970s. As a new resident to the city in 1973, I was an enthusiastic teen with a camera and everything seemed ready and waiting to be photographed. Looking back, after five decades, these images revive my joy of photography and bring back for me, a few “Misty” memories. For more information on the Chica...

Very informative video - thank you. Curious which fill flash you were using. The size is well matched to the camera.
Vivitar Auto 252 flash. Small, cheap and you can find them for $10.
@@mkphotonet Thanks. I actually think I might own a variation of this. It just looked a bit wider than I remember. I have a graveyard of cheap flashes I acquired on eBay as some don't live up to expectations or last long after acquisition 🙂
I _really_ like that image of the Picasso sculpture in the snow! I've always liked the idea of a compact, medium format point-and-shoot with a great lens. I've been looking at these for a while. Every so often I see these on eBay and am tempted. I didn't realize 645W wasn't a rangefinder though. I would have been pretty disappointed. 😄 My favorite film camera for just carrying around (although it's a bit of a lug) is my Mamiya 645 Super. I'm a bit of a Mamiya fanboy. The 7 is _far_ too expensive for me, though!
Wow, very thorough, easy to understand comparison video. Thanks for all the work putting this together.
Wonderful video, thank you!
they are nice cameras, but for sure not at today prices.
That was fun, Thanks for sharing 🎶🤙🏽 Didn’t that sound Great 🎉 Yeah 👍🏽
Excellent video Martin! Thanks!!
very usefull!!! thankyou for this information!
What a great video. You’re a good teacher! I’m glad that you talk slowly do that a student an easily follow you and assimilate the information you’re teaching. So much detail in comparing the cameras. I learned a lot! Thank you!
Thank you Annette.
Love this!!!!
Thanks Legs.
For all the technology in the GA645Zi, it is a shame they didn't engineer in a vertical film transport, which would have given landscape orientation framing. I had an Olympus Pen EE back in the 80's, and I hated that camera because of the portrait orientation. I would rather accept the extra weight to have landscape orientation plus interchangeable (and faster) lenses on a 645 SLR.
Love the amount of attention you put into the slideshow, with the nostalgic music of days gone by. Adding the description for each photo is a real precious thing. I can learn a lot from the documentation and order you must have in your collection. Thanks!
Thanks jwp, I too can learn a lot from looking back 50 years.
Great video, thank you for posting!
"promosm"
Is there a cable release on the GS645W?
You can screw a cable release into the chrome shutter button on top.
just bought my ga645zi pro, arriving in 4 days. thank you for not only detailed comparisons but also functionality and using guides.
Pretty good comparison of the features of these cameras. For what it's worth, the filter size on the GA645Zi is 52mm, not 49mm like the GS645W. The design flaw of the GA645Zi LED screen connector is that when the door is fully open, it can stress the connector, eventually breaking some of the wires in the some 15 wire cable. Not fully opening the back door avoids that stress. If the problem already exists, know that a repair company in Poland has started offering parts or a full repair for the cable. I own and use both of these cameras, and they are good as he says. For those attracted to the GS645W, note that there is a GA645W or Wi (2 versions), which offers all of the basic automation of the Zi, but use a fixed 45mm, 4.0 lens, somewhat sharper then the GS and a stop faster. Oddly, they sell used for about the same price, probably from fear of electronics failure in the GA version.
Thank you for the info and filter size correction. Yes, there is a fascinating video here on UA-cam of the GA645Zi LCD display problem being repaired by Fototech of Warsaw Poland.
@@mkphotonet They were charging about $100 for the part(s) and $200 for the parts and labor to do the job. After looking at the work required, I'd be pleased to pay them the extra $100 to do the job..
@@randallstewart1224 So good to know that there is a someone to keep these cameras operational. The price is well worth it.
One year later, update. That Polish repair company has apparently discovered the market demand for repairs to the LED on the GA645Zi. It is reported that they have increased the repair price by another $100.
Lovely. Thank you,
Great & helpful video! Looks like you're in AZ. I loved living there.
Thank you C. Yes, many photo opportunities in AZ.
They should have released it.
Your photographs are absolutely gorgeous. (The music has got to go though).
The music inspired the video.
Martin, thank you for sharing these wonderful images. Your eye for subject matter, along with your talent visual composition is absolutely stunning.
Kind remarks, thank you.
This was wonderful!
Thank you Barbara.
Such a fascinating compilation. Thanks so much for creating and sharing it, Marty. Thanks to Steve for the beautiful musical accompaniment. I'm wondering about the vocals.
Hi Jeff, Thank you, yes those are Steve's vocals and harmonies.

There's me!
Great performance Steve. I miss you coming to the house for lessons years ago. May just have to come down to Old Town School for a "refresher."
Marty, thanks for such a wonderful video! Since I moved away from Chicago, (2013) I really have missed all that the OTSFM offered and all of the wonderful teachers and "music-loving" people that I met while participating in the various ensembles over the years. This video really brings back so many feelings of JOY ... of friends performing great music! THANKS!!!
Thanks Bill, I share your sentiment.
Said farewell today to our old Seeburg Jukebox. Now on its way to a new home and family in NY.
Thanks Matt, Hope we have a chance to get together again.
Man, I miss playing with the Beatles Ensemble! That was about ten years ago! Looking forward to moving back to Chicago so I can join up again! Great song, by the way!
Thank you. Planning to move so our 222 is up for sale on ebay.
loved your video, great interaction , love your 222, mine is not half as flash, it,s a doer upper, but haven,t done anything except to get the mech going, but still need to change gears to 50hertz, it,s speed is set for america etc so slow on ozzie power. hope you do some more vids, was your 222 all up and running when you bought it, have you done anything with it. cheers.
