Im more a landscape photographer than an street photographer. As i like to shoot with film i watch many street photography channels as there is not much else to watch, they tend to be random shots with, to my opinion, no sense or composition (still praise the work they take to do those videos). But with your videos im fascinated with your skill to compose well and so fast. I have seen all your videos an I understand i takes lots of training to get to the level in what you do. What i can not understand is why you do not have at least 100k subscribers. Verte hacer fotos es lo más parecido a ver un maestro de jazz tocar.
I also agree, Eduardo is so on the ball, damn quick and sees artistic composition all the time.. he is really up there. Maybe doing other projects like writing and theatre keeps the eyes fresh...
This is what a real camera video review should be; exceptional examples, real world observations from seasoned usage and fantastic footage to boot. Keep it up man!
Marc Wolff je me disais justement que ce serait très dur ( à mon avis ) de reproduire ce style de clichés ici avec l'État d'urgence etc ( les photos des gardes et agents de police )
TheReivax27 Franchement vu le regard des policiers dans la vidéo et la rapidité/naïveté avec laquelle il prend ses photos je pense pas que ça soit plus simple là-bas. Après il suffit de jouer avec la situation sans aller trop loin et tout est possible dans la rue!
Love the video as per usual. My biggest takeaway though was that my Spanish hasn't deteriorated as much as I thought it had! I'm very proud to say that, even after years without hearing or speaking much Spanish, which is not my first language, I still understood all of your introduction. Keep up the great work man, great shots as always.
Eduardo, if you want to put a strap on a film camera with the strap lugs on the front (like the Canon 7 that I use) use a strap like a Black Rapid that screws into the tripod socket and the camera hangs upside down. It's an extremely comfortable strap, I highly recommend it!
Happened to see your video. I didn’t expect much, but like some other fellows pointed out: your street photographing skills is so fast and precise that I thought you wasn’t took the shots. Great result photos! I like how people ignore you, which I feel more challenging to have in Finland. Keep up the great work! I’m your new fan!
3:58 *fantastic* shot! In and out, didn't disturb the scene. Amazing. If it were me, by the time I got the photo, the guy would have got up and the lady would be wearing different clothes :)
Ed, tienes que comprar más rollos de esos, son geniales! Ojalá saber la empresa que los fabrica para pedir un palé entero. P.D: Excelentes fotos, como siempre, todo un artista.
I enjoy this a lot. I just got this camera so this was an excellent tutorial. Im sure my shots will be nowhere near as good as yours though...you are the master.
I completely agree with you about how the camera hangs on straps. To me that is the number one downside. Just got this yesterday and so far. I totally love it! Great review thank you!
Acabo de comprar mi primera Bessa R y acabé por tus vídeos de nuevo. Me fascina tu manera de "callejear", ese "shoot and run" que apenas le da tiempo a las personas fotografiadas a reaccionar y reclamarte (o no). Y cómo de costumbre, excelentes fotos. Un saludo desde las Islas Canarias y gracias.
Tremendas las fotos Eduardo, estuve mirando ese combo, te queria consultar ahora que tambien usaste la Bessa R3A, que te parecen las camaras? Son medio delicadas? cual fue tu experiencia? Lo digo porque como vos decis son de plastico. Como te parece que funcionaria con un 24 o 28mm? Saludos, me diste ganas de salir a hacer algunas capturas.
Since the camera is light maybe try a wrist strap like with the LOMO LC-A. I know it’s not ideal but it might be a bit more secure if you’re afraid of dropping it.
Grande Eduardo, 10 de 10 haciendo fotos en la calle, yo cuando hago fotos en la calle logro de 100 fotos unas 10 o 15 buenas, con un 23mm de Fujifilm no bajo más de esta focal, o con el 35mm. Me gusta tu estilo de hacer fotos.
Hey Eduardo, beautiful images! Did you buy this film in Mexico on your trip? I really love the colors it produces and would love to get my hands on a few rolls.
Excellent photos and I love watch you take photos! Keep up the amazing work! But something I don't get, why was the introduction in Spanish and the review in English? I don't mind reading subtitles, but it would make more sense if the entire video was in the same language and that you did some videos in English and some in Spanish. PS Great film! Kodak UltraMax rebatched, maybe?
Eduardo quizás el fotometro TTL te hace mejor lectura con un 50mm , el angular de 15mm hace q sin querer siempre estas tomando cielo , buenas tomas excelente lugar , abrazo desde NY
Awesome video and photos as always! Did you scan them yourself (I'm guessing not since you're on a trip)? I guess it's not too relevant to this video since you were shooting a wide-angle at f16, but could you go into your method for zone focusing? I try to "reset" to 1.5m after each scene then estimate which way I should turn (towards infinity or towards 0.7m, usually towards infinity) but wanted to get your opinion on it.
Nice review and shooting! I had a bessa l too for the last 12 months, but i sold it for a canon p. It has to much cheap plastic on it and the winding mechanism gave me overlapping frames. I loved the t-setting for not using a cable release, it`s a good feature for doing a longtime-exposure. It could have been a nice modern screw-mount camera! Cheers from germany!
What is that film? it looks really good! or maybe your scanning skills are just really good. either way Im curious and would love to try tht film out if you know where I could get some
wonderful photos that were taken, i have watched your video for a long time, and it's all amazing. i have a small question about Bessa L or Bessa Voigtlander : i've never seen a 50 or 35mm lens that were used with this camera except the wide angle lens. So can it be used with kind of 50 - 35mm lens??? thanks so much!
I can, but it's really hard to use, because it's a blind camera: it has no viewfinder. so you would have to scale focus the distance, and the compression for a 50mm will surely make you miss the focus, unless you shoot at f/5.6 or so.
I shoot a 50mm on a Bessa L with a Voigtlander Kontur finder. Hyperfocus with small apertures, or take your time estimating focus with wide ones. It's no more difficult than using an old folder or any other scale focus camera. You can Tippex dots for close up, full body or distance on the lens if it helps.
Eduardo, this is my favorite shoot film episode thus far. That wide lens and that muted color film really made your style shine. Is that film from one of those film projects that packages film randomly?
I've been deciding whether or not to get this or save up for an R2. I found out about it back when my zone focusing wasn't great. I'm still not good at measuring distance, but i'm glad you noted using wide lenses, since thats what i tend to like for street. Also, shoutout to the guy in Israel making viewfinders. Everyone who's gone looking has definitely run across his ebay page
Ed es una persona muy amable y carismática en todos sus vídeos nadie se ha quedado como con cara de pocos amigos o similar, a lo mucho lo miran con curiosidad. Creo que el que ha estado más cerca de decirle algo ha sido en este episodio, el policía al que tomo una foto platicando con un vendedor, me dio la sensación de querer decirle algo o similar.
that's the problem with the strap lugs on the Voigtlander's.. not just this one, but I think the other Bessas (R2A, R3A, etc..).. they are more on the front so the camera hangs weird and aims up. Not a fan of this poor design, very uncomfortable... other than that, they can be great cameras.
at the beginning one episode you complained of film spoiled from emulsion contact with the base during processing, one way of minimising this problem is to lightly run your ungloved index finger over the groves of the loaded reel before processing begins. if you feel the film in each slot of the reel and hear the film spring from this touching, this is good! but if you hear nothing, then this reel must be re-rolled, because the emulsion has made contact with an adjacent surface of film from a misloading error. to practise film loading onto a dry reel, in daylight and eyes closed, clip the end-of-processed film trailer or the header of processed film to centre of this reel. load the film onto reel. if you have an error, open your eyes; replay this error in your mind and see how this problem was created. now in the darkroom or changing bag after practising the successful way, there should be no problems!
Como es eso que no te deja agregar los subtitulos en dos idiomas diferentes? Tenia entendido que se podian agregar subtitulos en varios idiomas. Sino, de ultima, no podes traducir al español la ultima parte y que figure como ingles? Buenisimas las fotos! Me gustan los colores que dio el rollo misterioso.
sólo te permite decidir un idioma en que está el video. puse que estaba en Español (para que se activaran los subs en inglés), y ahora no me permite agregar subtítulos en el final. a veces UA-cam hace estas cosas.
Ever encountered any kind of troubles shooting random people in the streets like that ? Even policemen or security guards ? I feel like doing this here in France would cost me my teeth :/
Nice video! Quick question: why in Spanish? Perfectly fine with reading subtitles but was just wondering why you did it in this video and not in your others.
me encantan tus videos xq no probas la kiev 60 el shooter suena como cerrando el trunk de un coche🤗, y es bastante pesadita, pero a mi me encanta, y al ser medium format, para mi es un plus, ✌🤗
Hi! Thank you for cool and useful videos! But can you make a video to explain how did you focus on this camera (Bessa L) with separate viewfinder? I'm pretty confused about how does it work. It's not absolutely like rangefinder. Thank you again and wait for your reply! :)
@@edpavez Wow! Really? I'm so bad at this stuff. Did you have video about caculating zone focusing before? If there is not any, can you make one to share the experiments of caculating this zone? Thank you so much!
I have tried other zone focusing cameras, like the Lomo LC-A for example. I wouldn't do a video about it because it's just what it sounds like: "oh, this thing looks like it's two meters away. set lens to two meters. take a pictures". there's nothing to be told, except: practice!

Damn this gave me so many feels. Muchas gracias, de verdad.
Joan Gili Suárez I agree, way too few subscribers.
I also agree, Eduardo is so on the ball, damn quick and sees artistic composition all the time.. he is really up there. Maybe doing other projects like writing and theatre keeps the eyes fresh...
Yeap...very amazing channel....I hope more will subscribe.
One of my favourite cameras. I think all cameras should have a light meter by the controls. Makes alot of sense.
This is what a real camera video review should be; exceptional examples, real world observations from seasoned usage and fantastic footage to boot.
Keep it up man!
Man, you get SO close to your subject. I need more balls to do that.
I admire your speed! So quick to see/compose/take and then when the shot shows up on screen it's so good! It's a joy to watch you work
Those shots were amazing. Love how fast you compose your shots! ✨
The drumming, the streets, the timing, the postures, the faces, the photos, the angles, the lens. Awesome.
I've just bought one of these cameras and now I'm even more excited about shooting the first roll. Also great photos!
Ed, these images are wonderful, keep up the amazing work! Hugs from France

this video is truly a return to form. awesome job, images look fantastic.
I do not usually comment on videos but I am blown away by the photos you have taken. Incredible shots:)
I love that these are in Spanish. It's important to represent South and Central American Photographers.
What about us in the Caribbean tho? lol. Hay hispanohablantes en el caribe tambien socio!
These images are incredible!
Apart from your talent, that body/lens/film combo really matches...wow!
Wow...the results are impressive. Great lens and an accurate light meter.
No sabes qué satisfacción me dio ver mi ciudad a través de tus fotos, creo que ya no la veré de la misma forma. Muchas gracias!
Pretty excited to see a notification about a new video! Love your work!
Beyond the review it's self .. Your photos are honestly superb my friend .
Amazing! I adore the way you approach your subjects and capture all these moments! Bravo!
I love watching the gears turn in your head when you're considering the composition.
Eduardo, if you want to put a strap on a film camera with the strap lugs on the front (like the Canon 7 that I use) use a strap like a Black Rapid that screws into the tripod socket and the camera hangs upside down. It's an extremely comfortable strap, I highly recommend it!
Some of my favorite shots of yours! Wonderful work!
Happened to see your video. I didn’t expect much, but like some other fellows pointed out: your street photographing skills is so fast and precise that I thought you wasn’t took the shots. Great result photos! I like how people ignore you, which I feel more challenging to have in Finland.
Keep up the great work! I’m your new fan!
Lovely photos! Those "strap holders" are called "strap lugs" in English.
yay. thanks man! new words for me to hoard.
Damn you are the one of the best street photoshoper I saw on UA-cam. You attitude and way of approaching subject is just brillant.
es un lomography 400 si no me equivoco, excelente vídeo como siempre!
3:58 *fantastic* shot! In and out, didn't disturb the scene. Amazing. If it were me, by the time I got the photo, the guy would have got up and the lady would be wearing different clothes :)
British humour at its best, OldCameras!
I think these are some of the best shots you've ever done! Well done for another amazing video ♥️
Great work Eduardo! I always look forward to your videos. Thank you!
Wtf? That film is better than all your films before!! Or now you know how to scan :-))
I think he didn't developed the roll himself this time, so that's why the colors look right.
You are right and not only that,this scans are lab scans.
Normally Eduardo develop and adjust his scans to suit his preferences.
Ed, tienes que comprar más rollos de esos, son geniales! Ojalá saber la empresa que los fabrica para pedir un palé entero. P.D: Excelentes fotos, como siempre, todo un artista.

Outstanding pictures... And all of these great shots in a day? Its crazy, really motivational. Makes me want to by film camera as my next one.
Me ha encantado volver a caminar por la CDMX a través de tus fotos. Precioso!
Acabo de comprar mi primera Bessa R y acabé por tus vídeos de nuevo. Me fascina tu manera de "callejear", ese "shoot and run" que apenas le da tiempo a las personas fotografiadas a reaccionar y reclamarte (o no). Y cómo de costumbre, excelentes fotos. Un saludo desde las Islas Canarias y gracias.
Great video! Awesome to see Mexico City, and I thought the work was some of your best yet. You are a super talented street photographer!
you're lighting fast with focusing. mad skill. much respect.
me gustan mucho los videos en español. son muy bien hechos!!
Unreal street shots, great ability to get close, especially with a 15mm. The film is real vivid too.
Pictures are absolutely genius! Great video
You got a lot of keepers on this roll. Camera seemed like a real pleasure to use too.
your photographs are stunning in this video! you make excellent work of that 15mm!
qué maravilla de lente! intrigantes juegos de composición con las verjas. I really enjoyed this review, thanks
Eduardo you are a very good photographer. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Damn that film is beautiful! love how sharp the images are and that wide angle is simply awesome!
I have 25mm. This is the cam that taught me to zone fcus really well. I had no choice lol. Very good vid. I use a single little wrist strap.
este vídeo me puso muy nostálgica para los paseos pre-covid. me encantaría estar en DF para hacer fotos, qué gozo!
Man! You just nailed it perfect😮 love the way how careless you shoot strangers and at the same time composing so fast👌
That film looks so clean!!!

Wow al parecer 15mm es una maravilla 💜
Grandes fotos edo! Que ganas me dan de salir con la cámara!
mucha envidia de que estés en méxico. disfruta!

That was some beautiful color film. Let's see a review of that!!

The rubber coating on the hand grip is infamous on pre-Bessa R2 models. The coating on my R are almost off completely so it is not a problem now.
such a relaxation to watch your videos!
Eduardo quizás el fotometro TTL te hace mejor lectura con un 50mm , el angular de 15mm hace q sin querer siempre estas tomando cielo , buenas tomas excelente lugar , abrazo desde NY
I have a Bessa L paired with the snapshot-skopar 25mm with external viewfinder great camera
Really enjoyed the review and the hands metering advice, I'll try that. Thank you

if you want a versatile camera to shoot a 50mm from time to time, get the R2. if you just want a light camera to shoot wide lenses, get the L. :)
amazing shots man... u manage to get so close! love the colours as well. where did u get that film?
Superb pictures as always !
si alguna vez la persona que está siendo retratada te dice algo ¿Qué les respondes? o ¿cómo reaccionabas al principio cuando te veian tomando la foto?
Berenice Sosa Pesqueira Lo mismo pensé, a mi en lo personal me daría pena tomar fotos así :s
Ed es una persona muy amable y carismática en todos sus vídeos nadie se ha quedado como con cara de pocos amigos o similar, a lo mucho lo miran con curiosidad.

Buena Eduardo, Saludos desde Venezuela, ese match esta muy bueno me encanto. sigue asi!
..LOVE THE MUSIC ..Lalo Schifrin style...Jim (Eduardo ) on the move
Looking at the Bessa T, now, why would that have a built in rangefinder if you still have to couple with a viewfinder?
That's wide, man.
Si alguna vez andas por Lyon (FR) pasa el dato nos tiramos unos rollos :)
STREET!!!!!!!!! Boy! You go right up into their faces! BRAVE STREET!! IMHO
What viewfinder did you use? I recently got a Bessa L and have been shopping around.

Great video of the street photography. Thanks 🙏
Ever encountered any kind of troubles shooting random people in the streets like that ? Even policemen or security guards ? I feel like doing this here in France would cost me my teeth :/
Eres el carterista de Street photography, nadie se da cuenta, eres un maldito ninja 📷😎👌🏽
Your scale focusing skills are admirable!
F8 on that 15mm will have just about everything in focus.
Nice video! Quick question: why in Spanish? Perfectly fine with reading subtitles but was just wondering why you did it in this video and not in your others.
I guess I don't feel ok speaking in English on the streets of a Spanish speaking country. One of the Episodes filmed in Chile was in Spanish, too. :)
Fair enough!
me encantan tus videos
xq no probas la kiev 60
el shooter suena como cerrando el trunk de un coche🤗, y es bastante pesadita, pero a mi me encanta, y al ser medium format, para mi es un plus, ✌🤗
This is awesome, nice footage! I just put a bid on this camera for $100 USD. Is that fair?
aw damn Ed's on fire
Have a exact same setup (original version of the viewfinder though) for sale. If you are looking for one let me know.
Hi! Thank you for cool and useful videos! But can you make a video to explain how did you focus on this camera (Bessa L) with separate viewfinder? I'm pretty confused about how does it work. It's not absolutely like rangefinder. Thank you again and wait for your reply! :)
I just calculate distances. It’s called zone focusing.
@@edpavez Wow! Really? I'm so bad at this stuff. Did you have video about caculating zone focusing before? If there is not any, can you make one to share the experiments of caculating this zone? Thank you so much!
I have tried other zone focusing cameras, like the Lomo LC-A for example. I wouldn't do a video about it because it's just what it sounds like: "oh, this thing looks like it's two meters away. set lens to two meters. take a pictures". there's nothing to be told, except: practice!
Thank you so much! :) You're so kind. Wish you have more cool videos!
you're such an insane and inspiring photographer
Effortless dude, stunning video as always! :)
Hey Eduardo!
Did you shoot the whole thing at f4.5?
Que buena definición y calidad la cámara, la cagó
