Finally the day has come where I've gotten the opportunity to finally shoot with the real deal Mamiya 7ii. Joi and I hit the a neighborhood lawn & Manhattan Beach to grab some shots of her on Portra 160. I also pulled out Kodak's Portra 160VC expired film to see what the hype was about. I hope y'all enjoy this one.

Bruh that fact that you and Vuhlandes exist.... y’all are gettin us black creatives SOOOO inspired during this dark time. Keep doing you. As a people we are so tired and y’all are breathing life, forreal.
That means so much man. Thank you.
Two of my favorite shooters period
I also agree that the cap to the back means business
lets go... finally bro
Took a while, but we back man lol
MAMIYA 7 is nice
he's back!
Yessirrrrr!!!!
@@MikeGrayFilm can’t wait to see next video
Fantastic work. Such a small variety of pics - and so many hits. Congrats!
I’m glad your back Mike!! I love the work as always!! GOD bless!!
Thanks so much bro
As always, love your videos man. Keep it up! Such an inspiration.
I appreciate you Keith. Thanks a lot.
Amazing bro, the one Joi with her head back it is definitely my fav 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a lot Fabio
mamiya shots on the grass were my favorite, glad your back!!
Thanks Kev!
Your composition skills are sick! It’s hard to believe you have such little experience, Definitely a natural! BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
Thanks so much for that. 🙌🏾
you crushed it at the beach, i love the shots. im glad you are back, i missed your content :)
It’s good to be back Benno. Thank you!
@@MikeGrayFilm :)
I know I'm old school (62) - but you just cannot beat film - period.
I shoot with a Mamiya 7 & RZ67. There’s just something about the 7 that feels amazing in your palms while shooting. I typically shoot landscape with it but portraits come out amazing too. I would comment on how amazing the shutter click is but I’m still simply speechless. Plus the camera being a rangefinder is just icing on the cake, IMO. My only downside to the 7 is that you can’t get too close to the subject with the lack of bellows & of course the camera cost but overall my favorite camera. Awesome video man, big fan of your work!
I appreciate it man. I agree with you. That click hits different haha
Amazing as usual homie! Very nice shots! Glad to have you back.
Thanks a lot Vee!
I’m glad RUclips suggested this video. So good! My favorites were the black and white photos, but all of them were great. The shot of you licking the tab had me cracking up. I always try to do it secretly so my kids don’t try to eat my film.
Thanks a lot John haha
Glad to have you back bro! The photos came out really dope!
I appreciate you man
Love the photos man. Glad you're back.
Thanks man
Good to see you back Sir! Years ago I had a chance to get a Mamiya 7 (when they were still new -- talking pre-digital era) but was doing different stuff (news and sport) so didn't have a need... nowadays I wish I had one ... waaah!!
Thanks John
Just watched this for the second time and found even more reasons to enjoy your work. Thanks Mike!
Thank you!
@@MikeGrayFilm You are welcome. I do have a question, Are you doing anything to your images in post specifically color? Just love the color you are getting and since I have not really shot film, wondering if you are getting the look from the film or in post. Simply beautiful.
I just need more uploads from you bro it makes my day!
They are coming!
Dope work man I’m glad you are back
Thanks bro 🙏🏾
When there's a new drop from Mike, you already know I gotta go make some tea before I can watch it.
Get that tea going haha
@@MikeGrayFilm get my evening going right
Another beautiful shoot!
Thank you Lena
Welcome back! You need a Mamiya 7 of your own for sure.
Gonna have to think about that one
Brooooo the Mamiya 7 images were straight fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All your videos are just bliss!
I appreciate you!
Amazing video as usal Mike ! You're such an inspiration for my photography ! Greetings from Martinique !
I really appreciate it Steve!
I’ve shot both. For 35mm I always used Leica, before their prices went supernova. Thought the rangefinder thing would translate up, but it didn’t, so Big Pentax all the way.
Gotta say it again, the black and white conversion, man, that’s MONEY! That one (you KNOW the one) would be so dope as huge print in an LA loft. I can picture it in my mind - white brick wall, chesterfield sofa, and a 4x6 foot print above.
So, when are you getting an agent to sell your work? It’s time. You are capturing the soul of the moment consistently throughout the images you’re sharing. This is the beginning of something big. Glad your back and well. Keep grinding the good stuff.
Thanks so much Terry. That means so much to me. I have faith that it’s all coming. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The fire shots In silhouette on the beach🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎞️ my gosh!!!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The B&W scans are impressive. I like the way a B&W scan of a colour neg turned out and is something that I do a fair bit. Possibly my favourite film for this treatment is the Lomography Redscale, I absolutely love it for portrait work and gives me a B&W look I cannot get with conventional film stock.
I appreciate that Baxter
It doesn’t matter which gear and film you rolling with. Your compositions are impressive. Your photos have soul and really stand out. Cannot wait to see when you gonna sell your photo prints.
That means so much Luis.
Nailed it Luis, soul, the goal of every photographer who ever holds a camera.
Beautiful Shots. Good lookin!
Thanks!
i was just thinking about this yesterday, thank you
I appreciate you watching.
Thank you for sharing - I like the results you got
I appreciate it
Good to have you back brother
I appreciate you Thomas
bruh you killed it!!!!!! incredible shots
Thanks so much Andrew!
Useful plug in the intro thanks for that!
Check them out!
maaaaaaaaan. that first non-expired shot on the grass about has me running out to grab a film camera.
Hahaha thanks man
Congrats on the sponsorship brother 👏🏾 great shots as usual 🔥
I appreciate you bro
Honestly been binge watching your videos, makes me wanna buy a film camera!
Do it!
Love my rz! I’m looking for a Pentax. Thanks for the vidz!
No doubt, Chris!
Kudos for great lighting on film under tough circumstances!
Thanks man!
Always look forward to watching your videos, makes me want to start my own channel
Go for it!
man no one on RUclips does it like you bro. dope shots and vid
I appreciate that man
the mamiya 7 looks amazing!
Thanks bro
Mike, I think you could be shooting on expired cardboard and develop with motor oil and your stuff would rock!
I think I get mentally lazy because I do not go through the process in my head of what the image is going to be before I click the shutter. Your skill with film is obviously that pre viz. Thanks for making me want to slow down.
One thing about the film that is so beautiful to me, is that sort of green undertone. I see it in people's skin a lot and have in the past wanted to get rid of it, but seeing it in context of the whole color science of the film, it is fantastic.
Thanks
Ayyyy Mike with the sponsorship! Great beach shots!
Just the beginning man. Thank you!!!
This entire shoot is so angelic
My goal Lexi 🙌🏾
Well you definitely succeeded. I consistently admire your work. Great job!
dope content! Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot
Those reds look SO GOOD on the VC!
Thanks Ken!
Great photos especially on the beach
Thank you
Love these shots bro!!!
Thanks Alex!
@@MikeGrayFilm I got a TON of expired film im dying to shoot with ... what are your thoughts on buying pentax 67's off like ebay from like Japan? looking at selling my RB67 and opting for the Pentax 67
Damn Mike...so good as usual.
Thanks Andrew
Mannnnnnn, you both KILLED these!!!!
Thanks man!
Expired film was dope. The tones that were delivered were quite interesting and amazing. And portra that wasn’t expired I like the tones too. Are deep color and I resonate more with that. Overexposing portra is not my favorite thing to see and do but that’s why I like ektar more. Now I know that portra can give the same tones too. Good to know. Thank dope as usual.
Thanks so much man!
Mike 😎👊🏾, glad to see you’re back. I was wondering 🤔...did Rona get you bruh?!😳
Haha I’m glad you were concerned. I’m free from the rona though!! 🙌🏾
welcome backkkkk
Thanks bro!!!
Kapow! What a comeback Mike #Londonlovesyou
I love London!
My G! Let’s get it!
We are back bro haha
Idk why but the somehow I prefer the color of that expired portra 160vc more… Anyway, nice shots bro!
the pentax 67 dial from 120 to 220 can be turned with a dime/penny or even regular keys. Sometimes you can even do it with your thumb nail. Nice shots! Expired film is fun right? And yeah wish they brought back 220 film!
Damn man these are GREAT !!
Thanks bro!
Stunning!!!!
Thanks!!!
nice work, enjoyed. bnw was a good idea to go with! :)
Thanks a lot Peter!
You are a legend!!
Haha thank you
The shot at 752 bro so fire !!!!!
Thanks a lot bro!
You and Joy gotta work together again - dream team!
More to come for sure!
Pouring a lil zinfandel in a clear, crispy 99cent wine glass. We move on, adjusting the chair next to the window. A sip then we press play. Cheers to Another Awesome one. 🔥📸
Thanks a lot!!! I love it.
@@MikeGrayFilm 💯✨
First beach shot was my favorite
Really enjoyed it!
the commentary in this has me DEAD! LOL dope video bro!
lol just being real haha. Thanks man
Ilove that vibes bro!!!!
I appreciate you
Dope man! 👌🏾
Thanks man!
Great stuff dude
Thank you.
Wow film has such a damn vibe .....
That shot at 7:17 made my jaw drop
Haha thanks
Dope!
the Mamiya 7 is the next camera for me, but I love my 67 so much. I need to find more black women shooting film on the west coast for sure though.
AAAAHHHHH YESSSSSS!!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Man.. Love the Mamiya shots, keep going and stay healthy! Thank you for your time, It's not wasted...
Thanks bro!
Your southern accent cracked me up XD
Hahahaha
How it's cold as hell and it's beautiful??? Miss seeing the vids bro! Also probably gonna hit you soon.
Lmao. Sounds like a plan bro. Hit me
On the Mamiya you don't have to unscrew the pressure plate for switching between 120 and 220, you just rotate the whole plate by the edges, clockwise to go from 120 to 220, counterclockwise to go from 220 to 120. It should rotate easily if you're going the right direction.
Maybe I had technical difficulties lol. Thanks for letting a brotha know. 🙌🏾
@@MikeGrayFilm Love the shots, bring back 220!
They definitely need to bring back 220. $20 shots on a roll is love. A lot more people are using medium format
I agree
CAME BACK STRONG!!
I appreciate you bro
The Content I Need 🤝 Phenomenal Photographer
Might need a whole video with the southern accent in the future 😂
I may have to do hahahaha
I have shot with both cameras, but not side by side. What did you think - comparing results, color, contrast, and sharpness? I sold my Mamiya, but kinda wish I still had it, it is so quiet (I used it for street photography). I'm so much more familiar with SLR types and love using my 67II. Great images!
Thanks a lot Greg. I just LOVE the Pentax man. The Mamiya is a beautiful camera, and the glass on it is incredible, but the P67 is my choice for the type of photography I do.
Mamamiya 🔥
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
min 7:49 pure fire yo! congrats.
Thanks!
Holy shit the images are 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate it Mari.
Naaaaaaaaah THESE ARE BRICK!!!💕💕💕💕
I appreciate it Tito
“We’re at manhattan beach,it’s cold as hell”
Me: *scoffs in Canadian*
Great video
Thanks David
I L-O-V-E your channel brother man, i really do. All of your videos!
I’m lowkey scared of buying my Pentax from Asia due to scratches and damages, i heard some buy it then return it. I want it to look fresh and clean lol, do you have any advice for me?
Btw i saw you on Snowfall brooo that sh#t BLEW MY MIND haha i wanted to jump around the whole house screaming ”MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” 😂❤️
haha thanks so much for that. get that Pentax and don't think twice about it lol.
so good
Thank you
Loving these shots my guy!! I think the one at 8:13 is my favorite!
Thanks man
ay mike you gotta print that black and white silhouette shot for the one time.
It definitely will happen!
Yeah bring back 220 pls!
Agreed!
dude why are you so freaking good
Man I’m trying to get like YOU!
i like expired for the beach and 160 for the grass. now if you are really adventurous, try expired slide film!
I will do!
