      Right?! It's all nice and cool to watch photographers grow with their channel over time and so on but with Will it's something different... You know how you can make people believe in everything if you say it right, it's not hard to sell yourself as an expert in front of bunch of newbies on YT but Will... I just genuinely trust this guy in what he says, it's even nicer to see expansion which is totally backed up with actual knowledge and practice. Plus, he just seem like a guy you could have really nice talk to.
      Really cheering for you man!

    I'm very happy for you, William! The first of your videos I watched was the Mamiya RB67 Review that you just uploaded back then - and I was on the verge of buying one. You basically are the reason why I own this camera now and I'm very gratefull for that. Also I'm currently experimenting with 135 film in my 6x7 back and hopefully get some somehow panoramicish pictures out of it. Your work is very inspiring and your videos are so nice to watch - Thank you for putting out such great content! Keep it up!

      Thanks for sticking around Simon! Glad to have been able to give you an informed opinion of the RB before you picked it up too haha - as you've likely noticed it's pretty much my main camera these days lol! A couple of people have suggested I try a pano adapter, I might give it a go sometime but I've always kind of figured I could just crop 6x7 to that size if I wanted a pano image , guess it might be more fun and economical to use an adapter though. I'll keep it up for sure!

    Hey William, congrats on 5k subs! I know the panoramic camera is the highlight of this video but I'm always happy you're consistently using your RB67. It is in almost all of your videos so far . It encourages me to get back out there and shoot with it. The RB speaks to me too.

    • @willysheepskin
      @willysheepskin  3 года назад +2

      Thanks Brent! The RB is just so versatile and I feel one with it at this point, whenever I get ready to take the Mamiya 7 out I wonder if I’m going to want to make a close-up of something or a portrait and I’m like “ ah might as well take the rb “ hahaha. I’m going to have to drop some cash on servicing sometime soon again though since things are getting a bit dicey again unfortunately. But I guess that comes with frequent use!

      I really do enjoy it in spite of it's downfalls, ironically this week I've been witness to no less than 3 spontaneously bricked RZ's haha! One died outright, one's advance lever stopped working and the final one would only fire in RB lens mode lool. There is an appeal to some of the RZ features, but I'm too scared of what might go wrong and am too familiar with the RB to give it up! - I also held a bricked Contax G2 this week actually, hasn't been a good week for electronic cameras around here ahah

I’m doing a few test shoots this coming week and I’ve bought a pro sd back for my pro s, mainly to have a second back to swap out but happy to have a back that doesn’t require foam seals. That’s my only “upgrade”. A friend of mine has been saying he wants an RZ over an rb of late and while there are nice features, hot shoe being one, he couldn’t really tell me anything other than “I just think it’s better”. I can’t afford a G2, if I could I’d think I’d be too scared that it died on me.

    If you want to get closer focus on the Horizon, you can add thin strips of tape to the metal bars that set the focal plane-highly recommended! I use the Horizon a lot for closer shots of people, and you can still get the landscape in focus if you stop down enough.
    Infinity focus at f/2.8 was a very questionable decision on the designers part, in my opinion, but it could just be that landscapes aren't my favorite thing to shoot.

    That Horizon 202 looks very interesting as most of the pano cameras are so very expensive. The light leaks are a bitch but that is why I have a roll of gaffers tape in my bag to seal the edges of the backs or camera if I think there is a leak. I have one RB67 back that I know has a seal issue but I always forget to redo the foam until I have reloaded the back. Back to the Horizon, it rather reminds me of a Holga, fun to use but you never know what you are going to get. It is nice that you do respond to most comments but honestly I rarely expect an answer and it could eventually be way more than you can do. Still the answers are nice.

    • @sophietucker1255
      @sophietucker1255 3 года назад

      Just looked on eBay for the Horizon and they are all from sellers in the Russian Federation so maybe they are a Holga after all. Still I may have to take a chance and get one as it does look like fun.

    • @willysheepskin
      @willysheepskin  3 года назад +1

      I should have taped it to be honest! I tape anything I'm dubious of but didn't think to do it in this case for some reason. My roll of gaffer tape is among my most valuable possessions I reckon. It's quite expensive here but I keep managing to misplace it for a month or two at a time so it has lasted well haha! I understand the forgetting to sort seals before reloading the camera scenario veery well too unfortunately. In my case it's normally because I put the offending back away and forget about it for a year then find it again and try it out to see why I haven't used it - and learning the hard way why I put it away haha! That's also a great way to describe the Horizon from my brief and limited experience with it. Funny that all the listings are from Russian sellers, makes me really wonder how this one found it's way down here!
      Lovely to know that you comment for the sake of the comment without expecting an answer, although I reckon I'd always try find a way to respond to you , you've been around a good while now!
