I think it's worth adding, for anyone who's going to get mamiya 6 or 7, keep in mind that, you have to baby them and be gentle with them, they are not leica, especially with the film lever
I discovered this 'Analog Insights' series only recently. Wow! You do such a charming and professional job with this, I'm really enjoying them. Thank you.
Max, Thanks for a wonderful review of this camera. I have been using this for about 18 months and it has become my go to camera for landscapes. It traveled with me to Alaska, Iceland and Ladakh this year. The images are tack sharp, the exposure/metering is spot on and I usually find that most of my photos from this camera/lens combo are crisp and bright. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do serious medium format landscapes - super light and is a great addition for hybrid shooting. The battery for internals lasts about six months, so it is prudent to just have one in the bag anytime. Problems: it breaks way too often in extreme cold weather, especially the wonder mechanism. I have two bodies and they both have the same problem. It can add up in terms of expenses for repairs. I would love to see what you and your friends do with this over the course of your ownership. As always great and perfect review - presented hype free, with so much civility.
Just a note, the light meter is actually inside the viewfinder! They are definitely biased towards the highlights and I was also getting underexposure at first. After I set my exposure comp to +1 it's now dead on even for slide film. Another tip is since the meter is in the VF, if the sun is really harsh and at a high angle I use my left hand to shade the viewfinder when taking a reading for a shot with a lot of sky. Depending on the lighting conditions it'll drop a stop or more. The Mamiya 7 has the same setup but since it's a spot meter it doesn't affect it as much I guess. Great review btw and I'm happy to see another video!
Thanks so much for your helpful comment and piece of advice. I really appreciate it. Sorry for not mentioning that the light meter is inside the viewfinder. I should have done that. :)
Always highly instructional. I envy you for the locations you get to shoot and envy Jules for his Mamiya 6MF, which seems to be the ultimate film camera. I adore you videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks for your kind feedback, Diane. We actually have to scout and then drive to these locations to shoot the videos as well. It often looks much easier than it is in the background. ;) But of course you are right, we do have access to quite some nice locations here. We'll definitely have more videos coming next year. :)
Great system. Used the Mamiya 6 (pre-MF) for several wedding seasons. Two bodies, three lenses and two shoe mount flash units fit easily in a shoulder bag. Keep making these awesome vids!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Glad to see you shooting with Rollei Retro also. I really love the look of that film. I just wish it wasn't so expensive to get in the U.S. Happy Holidays to you and Jules!
This was my camera for the decade of the 1990s, with the 50mm f/4 lens. I shot Ilford XP-2 film and printed on Oriental Seagull FB Double weight paper using a Saunders enlarger outfitted with an El Nikkor lens. Heaven and bliss ever part of that process, most especially the camera. I ended up self publishing a book, At the Beach, which was a several year exploration of the California beach scene. It’s a fantastic camera with amazing optics, as you say. The price is justified by the camera’s build quality, features, responsiveness, and durability. The lenses are so sharp and perfectly balance with the body. Anyone looking to do MF would do well to look into this camera.
Hey Max, thx for this lovely portrait of a wonderous camera. This one and the X-Pan are very high on my wishlist. But as I don't have any spare kidneys... (Steve G haha), I'll have to wait for my piggy bank to fill up. I kinda liked the 'underexposed' Rollei film. It created a special atmosphere. The pano adapter is a charm !! Happy holidays to you and your little team and also the families !!
Another great video Max. I love my Mamiya and lenses and would love to get the "6" at a decent price. Merry Christmas to you, Jules, and Greg, and keep those videos coming in '19.
This is a great review guys! You should expand some of the contents, specially the metering and the panoramic adapter, because there's no much info on the net about these two aspects. Cheers!!
Old medium formats are stunning in their design and build quality. I picked up a lot of lenses when they were worth nothing and adapted to digital cameras, IQ was amazing. Keep up the good work guys.
I very much regret having sold my Mamiya 6 again in their late 90s, I would like to have it back. I am also very satisfied with my Rollei SL66, but the Mamiya 6 is so incredibly compact and, above all, quiet. As nice as a purely mechanical camera is, I use different ones, sometimes the electronics are also useful. It's not clear to me why the Mamiya 6 is so expensive used today, the demand seems to be high.
The difference between an eye level camera like the Mamiya 6 and my 1960s Rollei TLR in use is that when you view at waist level it makes you more objective with composing. I use a separate German Sixtomat selenium meter from the 1950s which still works perfectly.
The main difference is the format ie both take 120 film but one shoots a 6x6 image and the other 6x7. This means obviously that the 7 is a tad bigger but other than that the differences are very minor and the cameras look very similar. You have more choices of lenses with the 7 with a 43mm and 210mm lens available (both of which require an external finder which is a bit of a hassle to use and carry), and the light meter on the 7 is a spot meter rather than a taking an average reading type meter with the 6. Last time I looked the 6 was considerably cheaper than the 7 on ebay but don't take my word on this. There's a later 7ii model also which has a couple of very minor changes but essentially is the same camera as the 7.
Good review - as always - and great photos. You had stunning light, but you also know, what you're doing. And...you're right, an on/off-switch is really a disadvantage of a camera.
Superb camera, I rank it as the best camera I have used, (with just two lenses, 50 & 75), BUT it has a serious weakness, the film advance gearing!!, repaired several times with donor cameras and makeshift gears but to no avail, now sold to a collector! (no spares available, here in Aust.) Now 'shooting' with C220 TLR. ☹.
Just looked up the price of said instrument on ebay, did Jules sell a kidney and or a usable portion of his liver to acquire it? Kidding aside, a wondrous and sophisticated camera that's in worthy hands . Excellent review as usual, health and happiness to you all this holiday season.
I own a 6MF and I feel I have to clarify, the light meter on this camera is not through the lens, it actually measures through the viewfinder. The problem with this is if you are shooting into the light it is often incorrect. I have lost quite a few frames to this and I would suggest on sunny days using a separate meter, especially if you are shooting slide film.
Sehr interessantes Video, besonders der Aspekt, dass man effektiv in 3 Formaten schiessen kann ist super! Aber eine unorthodoxe Uhrzeit um ein Video hochzuladen ;)
Danke für deinen Kommentar, Sören. Die Mehrheit unserer Zuschauer sind in den USA. Da relativiert sich die aus deutscher Sicht unorthodoxe Uhrzeit. Außerdem: Fertige Videos müssen nunmal möglichst zügig hochgeladen werden. :)
Cooles Review Video. Mein Traum ist ja die große Schwester dieser Kamera. Mit 6x7 kann ich mich persönlich viel besser anfreunden als mit 6x6. Aber ich denke mal abgesehen vom Format unterscheiden sich dier Mamiya 6 und 7 nicht wesentlich. Schöne Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.
Check out the predecessor of the Mamiya 6....The Mamiya Press Super 23 with the great 100mm F2.8 and the 50mm F6,3 wide angle using the large 6x9 back. Heavy but gives amazing transparencies. The lenses for the Press and the Mamiya 6 are outstanding.
I found a 6 for sale at my local photo store, comes with a 75mm lens. Over 2 grand, kinda pricy. But I just might have to see what kind of trade value I can get for my Pentax 645 kit.
I'm a recent subscriber to your videos. Another smashing comprehensive review ! That 80s synth intro was great !! Thank you for your kind efforts and generosity in making these great videos. May I know which amongst the 3 lenses Jules most enjoyed using and which was used the most in the video ? Thank you
After this wonderful review, the price will skyrocket even more, and it will be more difficult to get this hipster attribute, ich liebe meine Mamiya 6 trotz, nur der Preis jetzt ist nicht mehr realistisch Lg aus Linz und fröhe Weichnachten
Great video! It's always a pleasure to see a new one pop up. Well done, well done! After viewing it one question popped up. How easy is it to focus the 150mm for a headshot?
Schöne Folge. Ich nutze die Mamiya 6 sehr gerne, sie hat jedoch einen entscheidenden Nachteil gegenüber dem Hasselbladsystem: keine wechselbaren Magazine. Gerade auf Reisen habe ich mir des öfteren gewünscht einen anderen Film zu verwenden, weil er entweder von der Empfindlichkeit her oder der Art nicht optimal war, geschweige denn wenn man strickt nach dem Zonensystem arbeitet und unterschiedliche Kontrastsituationen auf mehrere Magazine verteilt. Trotzdem verzichten möchte ich auf die Mamiya nicht..
Tolles review. Die Mamiya 6 ist die fast perfekte Reisekamera für gehobene Ansprüche. Die Naheinstellgrenze stört nur manchmal und so gut die Objektive sind, sind sie auch nichts besonderes in sachen Brennweite und Blende. Für mich die perfekte Ergänzung. Ich würde es nur nicht als einziges System haben wollen.
happy holiday. learnt and bought a lot after watching your videos.😝☺️☺️where did you buy the camera? how’s its lens comparing to Hasselblad? and which is your favorite 120 films?
Thanks for your comment. Jules purchased the camera here in Germany from an aging photographer. As mentioned in the video, the lenses live up to Hasselblad quality or (according to some) even outperform it. I have an old video up where I talk about my favorite films for shooting analog portraits which focuses exclusively on 120 films. These days, I prefer shooting Ilford HP5+ and Kodak Portra 400 the most. Two classics.
Nice video! But i don't believe that the (minimal) distance variation of the lens between an slr and a rf really impact the sharpness of the image... It's all in the lenses, and it's known that the Mamiya lenses are great
Max, love your videos. This one is almost perfect. Nevertheless, a couple things have prevented it: The idea that one can underexpose a film and somehow "make up" for (lost shadow detail) in scanning. Also, one should alway remove the entire band of paper from around a roll of 120 film before loading it. Lastly ... wear a hat in the cold! Signed, Mother
great review! what would you tell about opinion that mamiya lens are sharper then zeiss/hasselblad one's but insted of having worse bokeh??? p.s. can you recommend some good professional LAB in DE which develop&scan color negs [good if they accept order by mail]

Hey, tu parles du format 645, est ce que tu pourrais m’en dire plus? J’imagine qu’il s’agit d’un adaptateur?! Est il facilement trouvable? Est-ce que ça influe sur le nombre de prise? Merci beaucoup
Very interesting review of this medium format Camera. Can I make a couple of observations though. First, you need to project your voice a bit more. It tends towards a dull monotone, so try adding a little more emphasis to your sentences. Second, the black cushion to your left was very distracting, grey would have been less so. Even better would have been picture in picture when describing aspects of the camera such as: The viewfinder tramlines for example. Anyway, minor niggles apart a very useful review.
Thank you Jules; some very nice photos here, especially with the black and white. I was lucky enough to find a Mamiya 6 in 2012 in Japan, and have been using it since then. I mostly shoot Ektar 100 with it. As you said, it is great for traveling. I generally carry only the 50mm lens with me, so that i can travel light. You can see some of the scanned negatives here: sandykumar.com Thanks again!
Punk Rachmaninoff lol I wish it was the same shit, same prize, same negative size or at least use the same lens lineup but nah my mamiya 6 just not the same as the 7 as mush as I want too
I think it's worth adding, for anyone who's going to get mamiya 6 or 7, keep in mind that, you have to baby them and be gentle with them, they are not leica, especially with the film lever
Do you mind listing down the things to take note and handle the mamiya 6 or 7? I’m interested in getting one
