Their upload cycles are still in sync, so cute
You know it. Can’t disappoint
That's because their minstrel cycles are aligned.
Always a good day when there's a Bad Flashes episode 🥺
Yay!!! :)
My 67 came with the f4.5 when i got it, and I've taken some of my favorite landscapes with it. It's definitely no slouch as long as you don't need the extra stop.
They are such good cameras and lenses!
You know we want that “drunk in a motel room Mamiyabuddies” podcast right? ❤
Hahaha ok good to know.
@@BadFlashes 2 and half hours :)
Yep
Your videos always bring me an intense photography roadtrip wanderlust
That’s our brand hahaha
As always watching your Bro road trips is such fun and love the results.
Have the 105 and 55mm combo, also the right grip 3D print is so much better than the jumbo lt grip, I stick an L-bracket on for tripod and two handed if I want the extra. Finally, Woodford reserve 👏👏👏
Glad you like them!
And glad you are down with some woodford
I’ve gotta say, lovely shots, sweet focal length, and that what-if-Ozymandias-lived-in-midcentury-America sand-flooded house location was unbelievable. Look on my grain, ye mighty, and despair, kinda vibes.
Also I feel like I ought to thank you and Jason for helping change attitudes about Pentax. I know I didn’t always give them the credit they deserve, but look at them now. Leica drops new M6s, then Pentax is like “Yeah, we think what we ought to be doing is making new film cameras.” Then, Leica is like, “We are pleased to announce…” and Pentax interrupts like “Hey guess what, we made a monochrome camera and it’s the first monochrome DSLR!” And a day later, Leica is like, “Ok, yes we ALSO made a monochrom camera. We know we’re ripping off Pentax, but ours is better because we leave off the silent E.” I mean, Pentax is bananas in the best way, and the 67 is awesome, even if it is only slightly more reliable than a 4runner.
Hahahaha today should be national monochrome day!!!!
Thanks for alll the love! 💕
@@BadFlashes 👊📸🎞🖤
Trying something new here. Ultra short comment attempt.
800t is my fav tbh. Also Roys is such a cool spot. Love the reflection shot on the car. That halo shot was so cool as well! 4:45
Also, we need the drunk pod episode. k thnks. cya. ciao. farewell.
Haha you funny you! 😜😍
Great shots from Tatooine
Hahahaha thanks 😊
Yay, my favorite duo have uploaded.
At some point in June, I’ll be taking a trip through to Arizona to visit grandparents (I live in Nor Cal). Any cool spots you’d recommend?
I wish I had some spots there. It’s a bit uncharted for us.
@@BadFlashesMaybe Google Earth will turn up some results along the route.
What is the light meter app you are using in this video. The one you metered the sign for Roy's.
Lumu
Love your channel. As an East Coast boy, I can't wait to travel R66
Oh wonderful!!! Do it
2:44 We’re all sensible drivers when our parents are around…
4:03, DAAAAAMNNN this shot is so good! I LOVE the colours, the composition, that reflection is framed spot on! Very much not @AnalogRepeat worthy!
Totally dead on. That shot is amazing
Ahhhhh thanks you two
@@BadFlashes you’re very welcome!!
I still can't get over the fact that you got to TURN ON THE ROY'S LIGHT! It clearly put some pixie dust on your hands and consequently your photos.
I’m an excited boy haha
Really liked the gray background when presenting your photos. It has less influence on the photos than the pink one.
Yeah I get that. 🙌🏼
Bad flashes, good vibes! 👍🏻
Hahaha love that
Any video about Pentax 67 is worth a thumbs up by me. For all of the back and forth, mush-mouth analysis, the answer to the title question seems to be NO. This is what happens when you set up to critically compare two lenses but don't want to say something to offend a subscriber who holds a strong (and unreasonable) belief contrary to what you may say. So, do you need a 2.8 for closer focus capacity to do portraits? Not unless you like perspective distortion and want to pay back Mom's past transgressions with "camel nose" for her head shot. Need that extra 1.3 stop of aperture of the 2.8? Not if you use your 67 like most owners, shooting landscapes on a tripod at f 8.0. Otherwise, the 2.8 probably has measurable but insignificantly better resolution and a slightly higher contrast overall. Tests published when it was first introduced also show that it has significantly higher linear distortion than the 4.5, so not for shooting brick walls. I've used the 4.5 for decades. I can afford a 2.8. Not worth the effort to trade for the 2.8 unless its price were to fall about $1,500 IMO. If I had no 75mm and were to go shopping and find a truly mint 75mm 2.8 with caps, shade and case for around $1,600, would I buy it? Probably yes, but I'm a gear hog with a bottomless budget.
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Love the title card! Super sick!
Ah thanks. 🥳
So... I bought a Pentax 67 yesterday.
My medium format journey begins.
It comes with the 75mm f/4.5 and the 200mm f/4. Have you ever shot with the 200mm? I wish it was the 105, but the 200 seems workable enough for portraits.
I do have a 200 mm but I hardly shoot that focal length. It’s a little too long for me, but the 75 is great.
@@BadFlashes I've taken great portraits on a 75-300mm on 35mm, so I think this'll work. Then I'll get the 105mm some day and never look back, just like I did when I got my 50mm on my 35mm camera lol.
75 AL, What's al mean???
1:32 Yup!
Yup yup 👍🏼
It's a great watch - this video. There's gotta be a good reason to dish out an extra 2 almejas gigantes for the f2.8. I just bought an A+++ copy of the f4.5 from my favorite island state and am looking forward to testing it this weekend. I don't suffer from peanut butter and jealousy sandwiches, but I do wonder what the dif is.
@louontube oh awesome. So glad you liked it 😍🥰
Wish you had told me that after my 50mm lux purchase for my MP..
🤷🏼😔
@@BadFlashes No worries . it'll be here on Monday. no senses whining about spilt money.
Hahahha truth
Awesome video！！
Awesome 👏🏼 🙏🏼
The biggest issue with the 4.5 is how dark the viewfinder is with it. Certainly not worth getting the 2.8 over though.
Ahhh feels that for sure.
Yay great way to start my day….
What’s the weight difference between the 2? Every 1/4 oz helps when the body weighs the same as a Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka ….
I don’t know anymore 😳
You should follow up with the SL66 80mm 2.8 adapted to Pentax 67.
Oh nice. I might just have tooo
Ok. I need to know...... Where did y'all get your nice majestic felt hats...... I NEED TO KNOW!
Amazon. Cheap AF
Hey, I was on my lunch break!!
Close ????
Like the Roy shot at 4:27
Aw thanks yo!!!
Aw thanks yo!!!
Nice vid. I think I would definitely go for the slower lens.
Most do I’m thinking.
Caleb, whenever you or Jason
start up with that bangers talk,
it makes me think of Miley Cyrus.
That just doesn't seem right.
Wel she has some bangers tooooo lol
The fact i get two great videos at the same time makes me happy, now wheres the mamiyamigos 👀
🫣🥳😝
Hey! What's the light meter app you use on your phone?
Lumu
Thx mate! @@BadFlashes
Think of it this way: buy the f/4.5 and you can afford maybe two extra months of shooting on Kodak film if you're budget conscious and shoot Gold instead of Portra...
Hahaha that’s a good way to put it
With Jason going the 1.33:1 square aspect ration route. You should go the complete opposite. You should go Super Panavision with 2.20:1. Just go the extreme.
Right!!!! I had a few ideas
I had a few ideas up my sleeves
These types of parking lots at night just seem like the type of places people get murdered at in my creepy story podcasts 😱
That’s very true.
At minute 4, what was that app for exposure? Seems real nice.
Lumu 👍🏼
@@BadFlashes thanks man!
Excellent choice of bourbon.
Haha it’s so good. 😜
sorry I have a question, since that film photos resolution should be higher than your video resolution 1920*1080. Have you meet a situation that the film photos are losing quality after exporting the video? or do you have some recommendations of putting film photos in video and not losing its quality? Thanks in advanced!!!
I mean you will also loose some quality because of compression. Doesn’t have a ton to do with the working resolution of the video. I think the point of the videos are to entertain and bring awareness for them to be viewed at a later time in a better format. :) hope that helps
Does anyone know the metering app he's using?
Lumu
BBQ FTW.
Always and forever
Keep the 4.5, and use 105mm with extension tubes for portraits. Done.
Done and done
oooh what light meter app do you use? I've tried a couple and I think that they aren't super accurate!
Lumu
@@BadFlashes Thank you so much! Yours looks like it works much better than the one I had
Well done!
Aw thanks!
I can no longer hold this to myself... your intro music is 1000% better than Jason's. There, I said it.
Haha thanks for the love. We have different style for sure
Makes us unique
@@BadFlashes haha yeah for sure. I like and follow both of y’all.
And we love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just like old film cameras, old forerunners also need regular maintenance
Don’t we all 🤣
@@BadFlashes 🤣 becomes crystal clear after 30
😆
ain't that the truth orig 3rd gen owner here.... starting to get expensive
01:30 Damn, it's like you're in the room or something
😆😆😆
Whoah!
...that's it; just whoah.
capital W, capital HOAH!
Oh oh oh! :)
Yes, it is.
Hahaha fine.
Why is Jason selling his Pentax 67? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Sold sorry 😞
非常详细
What light meter app do you use?
Lumu
@@BadFlashes sweet! Thank you
Couldnt you buy an RZ67, a 110mm and some BBQ for the price difference between these lenses??? Or a Hasselblad and some Zeiss glass? Erm.......
I mean there is a lot of things that you can buy hahaha
Is Jason still selling his 55mm?
That’s a him question lol
@grainydays Still trying to offload that 55mm?
EDIT: Why doesn't that work...
Side note: those big palm trees need some big googly eyes put on them......
I know a guy that can make that happen! lol
#save the4runner
🥰
I'd say happiness is worth $2199.
In the grand scheme of things …. It’s pretty cheap for the price of happiness
Man my car is in the same price range as this lens.
Hahaha nice!
What light meter app is he using? 3:31
Lumu
@@BadFlashes thank you 😊
🥰
A Contax T3 is the same price, and well more worth it.

sorry, watched jsons first again 🥺
It’s fine haha
great lens, horrific price😧
Yeah. It’s a pricy boy
Wait. A Pentax video. Where it doesn’t break? Some thing isn’t right here.
Hahahaha I know I know. It’s a miracle.
@@BadFlashes it is! But never the less a very helpful and insightful video! I was going to get the 75m for my Pentax and this video helped a lot! Thank you as always!
🙌🏼
buy a 4.5 for about $200 and spend the rest on kick ass BBQ and pitchers of 805. Problem solved
Funk yeah bbq 4 lyfe
😍😍😍
🚀🚀🚀
No
Ok 👍🏼 lol
I don't even have to watch the video to say NO, it's not worth $2k+. If it's not a Leica lens, hellll nawwwww
But it does have some sex appeal!
@Bad Flashes haha yes it does have sex appeal. But it's like spending $1000 for a kiss with tongue from an escort 🤣 love this video though!
The colors on the 2.8 are Sick!
Oh awesome. Thanks :)
What a loaded question.
Loaded with gold from Fort Knox.
I can’t tell if that’s a good thing? Lol
