The photo of the guy on the swing with the sky above him was so beautiful!!!
It is good that you do not have many shots per roll. It means that you have big negatives !!!

Love a camera with a proper shutter sound and especially one you can feel, it just adds to the tactile nature of shooting film that I don't understand from people who lust after Leicas or Mamiya 6/7 with their whimpy little leaf shutter. Beautiful camera and great portraits as usual. ✌🏽
Love the nice shutters from Pentax and Hasselblad, they are so tactile - although for candid stuff I love the quiet Leica shutters. Different use cases for different cameras :)
This wasn't just an amazing camera review , but it provided a great insight into Sam as a photographer and your style. I'm very envious of your Pentax 67 II. The video and editing is amazing. ❤
Loved watching this! Everything in layman's terms, thoroughly entertaining and hosted by a beautiful and pleasant lady. My only couple of surprises were you didn't use a tripod and didn't use any flash. Also appreciate no bad language which is an ever increasing and negative trend on RUclips. Overall though I also loved your piccies.Grwat effort.
Congrats! 🙌 You wanted this for so long. It’s inspiring to see how you interact w people/strangers you photograph and what you bring out of the moment.
Thank you :)
Sam, I have to say this truly one of your best videos. I just love your vision and how capture people with such empathy and genuine curiosity. I am glad you found a camera that sees the world the way you see it. Looking forward to seeing future works with the Pentax 67ii.
P.s that photo of the man swinging with shy behind him to my breath away. Because that’s a very difficult shot and using the Pentax 67 like street camera is a very very tough gig.
Thank you!! I'm looking forward working with this camera more in the future!!
I have a Pentax 67 since 2015, bought with the 135 macro and over the years I have added the Takumar 55 and SMC 165 2.8 . Everyyime I use this camera, everytime I scan the negatives, it always amazes me how wonderful it is.
For me there's no doubt this is the best camera ever made.
How’s the 165?
This is so amazing. I've actually been on my Pentax 67 journey as well and the experience has just been awesome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying mine. They are beasts of a camera. I didn't go all the way to 67II because I wanted to be mostly manual. The 105 mm lens is one of the nicest lenses I've used so far! Really happy to see a new video from you and pleasantly surprised about it being related to the exact camera I've been spending all my time with.
I've held my friends 67 before, it's really not that different... if you enjoy everything manual, it's really a good choice since it's much cheaper as well!!
What an absolute delight it is to watch this video! Honestly I’m so looking forward to future work you produce and the images are stunning.
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Thank you :)
I have a 6x7 on the way to me now from Japan. I can’t wait to receive it!!!!!!
Sam, you present so well that I didn't want this episode to end. So happy you got your dream camera. More please.
Sam, this is the first video I’ve ever watched from you and it made me so emotional and so happy! Your joy is contagious, and I could feel the emotion coming through in your photos. It’s so inspiring 🥹 thank you for this, really
Congratulations and this has been one of the most genuine and enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a very long time. Wishing you lots of joy and success.
Great unboxing/review of this camera. Well done and congrats on the new camera.
You made some magic with the 67II Sam, I can't wait to see more.
I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy all your videos but I could feel your excitement. Im so stoked for you! Love the photos!
Thank you 😊
This is so great. I was in awe the first time I held a Pentax 67. It's an incredible camera, the clunk of the shutter is ridiculous. Lovely video Sam! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you for watching ☺️ both the Pentax camera I have the shutter sounds funny~ but I started to get use to it 😂
What a lovely video to watch, such an inspiration! enjoy your new camera! and happy birthday !! 😄📷🎈🎉
Thank you :)
Congrats on the new baby! This system is a dream, can't wait to see what you make with it.
Thank you!
This is such a beautiful video and ode to the relationship a photogrpaher has with their gear. When both are in sync, everything is possible. Your energy is vibrant too and this has been the easiest subscribe in a while!
Thank you for watching :)
I immediately thought of Ansel Adams when you talked about seeing the photo in your mind first. Quoting Stieglitz, by “pre-visualization” Ansel essentially meant that you have to see an image with your mind’s eye before it can become more than a snapshot.
Hi Sam, I want to congratulate you on your great Pentax. I find your reportage about the first experiences very successful. I like your enthusiasm for analog medium format photography and your English is so cute. My favorite camera since 1975 is the Hasselblad 500EL-M and the 500 CM with the analog magazine and the digital back from the 907x. I live in northern Germany at the Baltic Sea and find here also beautiful motifs but sometimes I would also like to be back on the west coast. Please keep up the good work and never lose your inspiration and friendliness! Greetings from Lübeck from Julius.
Thank you for your kind words ☺️
Congrats! 🍾on your new camera and nice first set of images captured, looking forward to seeing more of your work with it. Cheers! 🥂
Thank you :)
Big congrats 🎉 So happy for you and happy belated birthday 🥳 Thanks for sharing your excitement of getting your new treasure.
Thank you :)
Hi sam I’m from Melbourne and I watched your Pentax 645 video which made me so excited and i eventually bought one for myself. I love your videos because I can feel your enjoyment for taking photos and I love seeing how you experiment with new cameras and film. Congratulations on your favourite camera 😁
I'm so happy that your very first picture on your dream camera turned out to be such a banger! Also love the live guard's, but the guy on the swings is my favourite.
Lovely review and for sure you had fun! Great to see you approaching the people to get their portrait 😎
Thank you ☺️
I enjoyed it. Your photos are outstanding. ❤
Have fun with this camera.
18:21 This close-up feels like it captures his personality perfectly. Congrats on getting your dream camera!
Your narration is top notch. Thank you for creating and sharing.
So happy for you!!🎉
Sam you are so genuinely awesome. I love your work. Your videos are so engaging. You Rock!!!
finally you got it, my friend~ I still remember my comments last Xmas. it seems we do have a miracle ahead this year~! Congrats~!
thank you!! 😊
23:43 is such a great portrait lovely work Sam. Happy you finally got a Pentax 🥳🥳🥳
Join the Pentax family!! Yaaaaahh~~~
This channel is dangerous and amazing, I want so many more cameras but its always relaxing and fun.
Some cameras are for fun, I get them to try it out or to collect.. but this one, is definitely a working camera, it’s a camera I’d actually use for creating photos~
What a lovely video and thanks for sharing the shooting experience as well as those amazing pictures!! 👏 I've just picked up my 67 two months ago and am absolutely in love with it. Can't agree with more when you said it takes a picture just as the way you imagined and even better 😻
ahhh thank you.. congrats fro getting your 67 as well!!! Pressure is on! better go take more photos now~
While I have too many cameras, the Pentax 67ii is the one that inspires me the most and I absolutely love the images it creates. Glad you found your dream camera and looking forward to seeing more of your images!
Thank you :)
Congrats on getting your dream camera!! I recently bought a 6x7 but it has problems that I need to send it to get it fix. Recently during Filmstock in ATL, I was able to talk to more people and got to hold a Bronica and that changed things for me. I bought one and it’s been sooo much fun shooting it! I feel like I found a new camera that inspires me to go shoot more often. Your photos in this videos were amazing!! I can’t wait to see you shoot more with this camera!
I'm glad Bronica worked!! Hope you can fix your 6x7 as well... Whatever camera that brought you out shooting is a good camera!!
18:46 I have the Asashi Pentax 6x7 with the 105 lens, and I agree wide open it can be difficult to achieve perfect focus. What I found was they made a magnifier that helps rectify this. That mother and child photo was awesome.
Ps. On the film photography project website they sell an adapter that allows you to load 35mm film in cameras made for the 120 film. Enabling you to get panoramic-format photographs with different sizes depending on your camera’s frame size. Plus you get those cool sprocket holes.
I’ve see the adapter and already want to try it!!
Beautiful portraits! Congratulations on your new camera!
Thank you :)
Exactly the same feeling as I got my pentax 67ii! congrats once again!
Thank you 😊
it was extremely enjoyable to see your process and hear your reflections. amazing! very nice photographs too.
Thank you 😊
So exciting!!
These photos show the leisure side of life in US. They are good, even in 35mm format.
Really good portraits!! Congrats!
I love your joy and happiness. Excellent photos.
the camera is nice and all, but the pictures.. i love them so much! i think they have something very unique to them. also the way you interact with people and how positive everyone reacts, is really nice to see :)
Wow Sam! Those morning portraits are great.
Thank you :)
your joy is super contagious!
🥳🥳🥳
Wow! Now that's a camera 📷 👍😁
Congrats 👏
Thank you 😊
glad I found you here, really enjoyed your video.
Very, very nice video, it’s long but in a very great way, I took time to watch it and felt great after that. Great mood, great smile on your face at any moment, beautiful portraits… Just subscribed ❤
Thank you for watching :) glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like its going to be a lot of fun to use this camera, it is huge but leaves a huge impression 😅. Great video! ❤
Congratulations Sam, I was like you 2 months ago, so happy to put my hand on this moonrock.
It is the best medium format camera to me, enjoy !
High-five!!
Congrats from Japan! I have Mamiya 67 Pro SD and enjoy shooting pictures.
Nice, nice work. I've not liked this film before. You made it sing. Big camera for a little lady. All without a tripod! Amazing.
I'm so happy for you ! I also got my dream camera last week, it's a Mamiya RB67 ! I'm so happy :')
The RB is really nice too, congrats!!
Outstanding video. TY for posting.
Thank you~
I just wanted to say, more than any other video that you've posted (that I've watched), this particular one had me smiling each time you approached a stranger to ask them if you could take a portrait of them. I liked all of the portraits, especially the one of the young lady by herself at the beach. Watching their body language as they responded to your request had me nervous for you and the outcome, only to be rewarded with a "yes"....Please... get a series going of "Stranger Portraits"... your videography is lovely. "Thank you".
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I love photograph strangers, and most definitely will keep going~ :)
Congrats! Waiting for your video for a month :)
Had to subscribe just because of how happy that camera makes you.
Excellent work! 🎉
This is so beautiful I have the old Pentax 67 with the 105 lens, to be honest, my best medium format Camera, thanks for share this amazing video.
超讚！
超喜歡尼對於相機的一些體悟跟想法
照片也超喜歡><
pentax67的照片真的一眼就可以看出來的
尤其是大光圈淺景深的照片！
谢谢你的喜欢！！☺️
恭喜你，隔着屏幕都能感受到，获得它的喜悦～棒呆
There should be no DISLIKE for this camera. Haha. Congrats on the P67II!
Awesome video and vibe. Want to see you take more great portraits and portraits of buildings with it.
Thank you~ ☺️
Your happiness makes me happy 🤩
恭喜呀，卖家包得好用心。
真的包的严严实实！
This is motivation to go out and start taking photos of strangers again! The Pentax is such a beast! I gotta go shoot in Santa Monica soon!
I love Santa Monica, I gotta go explore more places to shoot though~
Love the photos My dream camera is still the one I have the Pentax 645N but I use all manual focus.
Strap position is great, rotate the camera 90 degrees with the handle facing down and resting on your palm ✋
Those photos are so good! I Love my Pentax 645n and sometimes feeling like getting the 6X7 but the size always scares me but the results seem worth it.
Hey Sam!
Great video on the Pentax 67II. I am looking for one with the 105mm f2.4 too, mint if possible. It'll be the ultimate find, a dream come true. It is pretty hard to come by those here in India though. However, I got myself a mint Nikon FM2n body last week which I have yet to shoot. It's been my dream camera ever since I started shooting film in November/December 2020. Everything on mine is perfect. Mounted an AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D on it and it is ready to go. I can imagine your joy on getting your dream camera. Congratulations!
Cheers!🎉
Congrats on your new camera! I think it's easier for a female to approach people to ask to make a photograph, at least in the U.S. I think people have a natural tendency to be, "on guard" if a male approaches them. You do seem like a natural at making people comfortable and putting them at ease.
Love my Pentax 67, except I wish the viewfinder/focusing screen were about 2 stops brighter. I am on the fence about buying a Pentax 67II. The electronics (and finding a competent technician to work on it) are what make me apprehensive.
The vibes I get from this video is that this camera was made for you. The photos are amazing. My favorite was probably the swing in mid-air, but honestly they're all so good. I've always kinda wanted one of these, partially because I'm an Araki fan and he uses one, but man, after watching... I gotta take a G.A.S. pill..
I will definitely use it more and see how I feel about it later. When I just got the Hasselblad, I was pretty excited too.. but I had some problems with it later.. so, we will see~ LOL
As someone who has always watched your videos, i'm truly happy for you Sam,mamiya rb67 has always been my dream camera and i'm blessed to finally own one.... 15:23 to 15:30 "thats what she said" x 4
Congratulations!! I recently had the chance holding one RB67 in my hand for the first time, and I immediately give up on wanting to have one 😂… it’s is too BULKY!! but that being said, I still really want to get a RZ67 though~ lol
The love in your voice is all that matters. It’s just a tool. A hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench.
Awesome video and beautiful portraits, Sam! ♡ Just a little question: what roll film did you used for the first photos? Thank you!!!
Yay.. It is such a good video. I also got my 67ii with 3 lens. :D
WOW 3 lens must be nice.. I think I'm gonna stick with the 105 for a while for now, and maybe get a wider one later~
absolutely adorable
awesome video, and even better photos. What film stock were you using for the morning shots on the beach?? Colors were great
The first half is Portra 400, then it’s gold 200
Lovely❤ some days ago ive purchased a Pentax 645 D , seen on RUclips and bought a few days later...i'm waiting for lenses arrive...😅
Congratulations on getting the new camera!! 🥳
Sam have a blessed and successful week
Thank you
哈哈，从哔站过来！相机真棒，照片质感无可比拟，SAM请坚持用宾得拍下去😊😊！
嗯嗯 会哒！！
Been shooting with a P67 for 9 years. It’s really all about the lenses. The 105, 55, 75, 165, and others are so unique. Great resolving power, but not clinical at all. It’s a wonderful system. Enjoy.
I thought about getting a wider lens for my p67 or p645, but I think I started to love only shooting with one lens~
@@itscapturedbysam That is understandable.
I've said it before, but I really enjoy watching your videos. Okay, that's all, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for watching ☺️
I love my pentax 67ii
It's such a nice camera. Loved mine a lot but sold it at the beginning of the digital photography age. Nowadays I cannot afford it anymore 😅
Not just the camera the films too are really expensive!! 😭
Very nice camera and channel ! +1 sub.
I can see that the 6x7 composition/ratio is your natural eye. Cheers & congrats! 🫶🏽. When you shoot 2.4, exhale slowly...you'll nail focus better.
Exhale slowly!! Got it, I’ll try it next time!!
For longer exposure times (1/60 to say 1/4 sec), don't be lazy, and use the monopod under that camera - it really helps in getting camera steady till you really, REALLY need an tripod...
I agree!! That’s why I’ve only shot with this camera in bright day light so far 😂
好喜欢这一期呀，每个人都好友好。特别喜欢刷铁丝网的大叔，不过钓鱼的大叔更幽默。哈哈哈，这期真的好有心啊看来神器加持是不一样🤪
真爱发电.. 哈哈 本来没想到会这么长的 反正就是越做越长...
爱看爱看。一点都没快进也没用倍数。@@itscapturedbysam
I am in the same boat as you were. Used to shoot film, then switched to digital and now want to go analog once more. Knowing what you know now, would you switch to the 645 first and then the 67, or go straight to the 67? I am looking at both cameras just like you once did! Refreshing videos, useful content and beautifully composed images, unlike most amateur videos on RUclips. Just subscribed!
this is how i felt with the pentax 6x7 mlu a few years ago
Heyo! Just wanted to note that there's actually 4 models of the pentax 6x7. Original 6x7, 6x7 MLU (which has a mirror lockup, 67, and then 67ii! there's marginal difference between the first two but I believe some parts are more reliable on the second gen (I also have one hahah)
Congratulations Sam...dont let it fall like 645n
Shhhhh.... Knock on wood hurry!!
哈哈哈 看到最后一张好喜欢啊
Yes, I finally got my dream camera which is the Mamiya Rz67 pro II
This camera is also on my list the Rz67 Proii
Sam! The shots are MINT!!!
Loved the video! Btw I found my dream camera - the Pentax 645NII! ❤
Hi - Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with the Pentax 67ii. Is the focusing screen you have a split image and micro prism type? How easy did you find it to achieve accurate focus on people’s eyes? Thank You!
