Old guy here... I was using those cameras when they first came-out on the market. It's great to see you having fun with film! The absolute best format in the world is ... (drumroll please) whatever you happen to have at that moment in time. Whatever format you have, just use it, have fun and do the best you can with what you have. Learn it, get comfortable with it -then switch to something else so, you can learn to appreciate all their fine points. Same goes for film types. Tri-X, TMX, FP5, Delta... Pick one, shoot it for a month or two then, move on to the next one. Shoot the same scenes to compare the different films. If you're shooting B&W and feel really adventurous, repeat all the experiments using different developers. D76 1:1, HC110-B, Rodinal and PMK Pyro covers all the bases for basic developers. Hint: For medium format B&W, use ISO400 films, shoot at 800 and push-process 1 stop.
You guys are so friggin awesome! Love the banter and bloopers. Heck yeah ballet John on pointe! 🩰 Impressive! 👏👏👏 😂 I hope to one day make it to FL to meet you wonderful people! Much love from Arizona! ✌️😎
My team here is making producer Paul proud again! Great job! The pocket 3 looks great but there is just something about these Sony cameras that shine. Good job! 👏 also John ballerina dancing again! 😂
at 7:46 a tip, for shooting a Hassy for 'selfies' use the lever on the right hand side {while looking at the film MAG, not the lens!!} this engages Mirror UP mode, so all that happens when you press the shutter button is the leaf blades move, the mirror is already out the way (like a revolver at half cock)- you need the slide out for this to work, as it half operates the shutter gear, so is subject to the same interlocks. This gives less vibration, so should give an extra margin of safety in focus, as the dof is thinner, so any movement can affect focus.
Nice photos had by all. Lucky you getting medium format titan cameras for Christmas. I have a rolleicord but it does not take 220 film which I have several rolls of so I cannot use it unless I get a camera that will take that format.
Great job as usual 😀 I prefer the 6x6 because the square format has something very appealing to me. I also like the 6x9 format from my very old cameras For Briana: As I type, it's 21°F here in Quebec City. A mild temp for this time of the season 😉
great video guys, and gals, but brie, a tip, some of those early shots have flare, a medium amount, so if you have access to a lens hood, use it, esp. in backlit situations, or as here around water [reflections]. this isn't you, just a quirk the Hassy has, it doesn't like flare, and as MOST of the carl Zeiss lenses are not multi coated, like modern glass, only the T* coating (colour fringing), NOT flare!! so us photographers need to be extra vigilant, but congrats on the pickup, a nice present; it will serve you well, PS: try that street SAVVY or Gold 200 in it, it works a treat (and gold has a beautiful colour rendition, even subtle blue tones, wow!!)- did some street 'art' worked out a treat.
Ummm Omit the boy from the future videos.. He had no idea what he was saying half the time and ONE photo I think he actually turned the camera into portrait mode when taking pictures of the girls. You guys should help that young boy out :).

Those bloopers were hilarious. I shoot all formats and really do not have any preference.

I forgot to pay attention to the aspect ratios, but I liked the Lomochrome Purple. You guys chose a nice place to shoot.
LOVE the b-roll at the end, good show, shows you are just as 'goofy' as the rest of us.

60 degrees is t-shirt weather here in NJ!
Us Floridians have a natural weakness to the cold….🥶
Hah hah hah…I’m in NJ and you are so right. No coat until 40.
Great job as usual 😀
