      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 :)

      Its not really the leaf shutter thats the problem just the lack of a mirror. I mean the RZ67 is a leaf shutter but the mirror slap is so loud its amazing.

    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.

    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.

    • @itscapturedbysam
      @itscapturedbysam  Год назад +1

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    To work around the lack of settings of the photo, I take a photo with my phone of the top of my camera, and make sure the settings are visible (shutter speed, iso, aperture) and then I save it in a file in my computer. Then I use exiftool to update the settings of the scan, so the settings match the actual exposition settings.

    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".

    Congrats! Its a great camera. i had 2 of these and sold then got then sold. You can get older lenses that have a yellow tint but you can get rid of them with a standard UV light. I had one from Ikea. Eventually i went mamiya 7II and never looked back. Both produce some amazing pictures. Although the mamiya has various things that make it a better camera in my opinion . The leaf shutter is one big plus. No noise or shutter when you are taking off the cuff images. And weight. Its lighter and easier to handle. Lens wise. The mamiya has a more organic image without losing the sharpness. Both are great!

    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!
