Willem's car - The fast and the furious, Willem's camera - The slow and the curious.
😂🤣👏🏼
They don't really match do they. I see Willem driving a VW Camper in the future.
haha
Red sweaters, 100% organic mechanical tones, and bicep workouts? Yeah, I’m strapped in.
"Babe wake up, Willem just posted"
Lmaooo
autowillem whipping in the subie.
Not only good taste in cameras but also in cars? A man of culture.
Hearing that song when willem is about to start taking pictures always brings a smile to my face
Someone used that song in their video and I was like, nope you're not allowed to use it
@@fjalls 😂😂 that’s a willem classic
@@LouderPictures yup
me and my rb67 laying down on the bed with our feet crossed watching this
@Mike DroppedYeah! My IG is @loganpalmerfilm
The RB67 has feet? Willem somehow missed that, too... ;)
Same got the first version tho
Ah ok, so this would be why my inbox if full of people asking for RB67's.
Very happy to find out Willem is a JDM Hotboi
Stutututtuututuutu
was just about to say
a what
im not suprised
Hey man, that's what the red switch on the back is for, if you cover the red dot it will prevent you from double exposing a frame
This right here...
Thank you!
@@WillemVerb was about to write the same thing. Also with the rotating back... don't you literally just rotate it? At least that is what I have been doing with mine without pressing any other buttons.
Also useful if you realize you forgot to remove the cap
@@WillemVerb One more tip, if you find the double exposure protection doesn't let you take any more shots after the first frame, it's due to the back and body getting out of sync when you put the back on. Taking a "double exposure" with the cap on should get it back in sync without any further issues.
Cheating on the RZ??????
I miss my RB the perfect camera
shouldn't have given it away Vuh
Rb king
s/o Vuh 🙏🏿✊🏿
I got an RB with inspiration from you two. Thank you guys for putting me on 🙏🏽❤️
Not a cool as a Nikon ;D
I own this camera and the best thing is that it works fully mechanical, no batteries to worry. With good service they never die.
Having been through a tough month of depression and not taking many photos (which is quite rare for the usual me), I think I'll pick up my Mamiya 7 tomorrow on the trip to San Diego. Thanks Willem for posting this, your video has always been fun to watch and at the same time inspiring.
You’re not alone. Stay strong 😎👊🏼
Notes on the RB: you literally just turn the back to turn it portrait. No lock like on the RZ. also theres a switch with a red dot on the back winder cover the red dot and you can't double expose
“Sorry if that was scary” damn you’re a nice guy lol
that portra 420 looks amzing.
I just remembered it's Wednesday.
Happy Willem day everyone...
On another note - it's not possible to double expose the film if you flip the switch to cover the red dot on the film back. I've shot photos on the RB since the start of the year, and the thing that's been bothering me is the light leak exactly like yours @ 3:37 which happens every now and then. I can't seem to identify what might cause that. Do you have any idea (and does this also happen with the RZ) ?
@@AndreLieberher I know someone else with an RB who has that problem too. Film back seals?
important tip from a long time rb67 user - make sure the mirror lockup on the left of lens isn't accidentally activated otherwise you'll get a bunch of blank frames. speaking from experience : (
No way it's Auto Willem
I’m happy to see he’s showing off his car first before the camera
I have been eagerly awaiting this video, and of course you knocked it out of the park
Your use of the RZ is what led me to grabbing an RB, and it’s honestly the best camera I’ve used. Truly a joy to shoot with.
I LOVE my RB67! My first medium format camera and it's opened my eyes to how beautiful the format is.
The sound that camera makes is perfection. The photos fantastic, and that STI?! Willem doing it right. 😎
Is it just me, I may be high, but I got way more joy out of truly seeing Willem’s actual vibe and lifestyle than the camera. There’s a lot of chill joy in this video.
Ayyy just wanted to say your videos inspired me to get into film photography over lockdown and they continue to inspire me to go out and make photos, so thanks!
Hopewell NJ looks great through your lens
not really, its still Jersey
I love seeing you shoot local to me. Kind of puts things I take for granted into perspective and reminds me anywhere can be pretty if you open your eyes.
You make basic things look so appealing! The photos are amazing as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's can be easy to underestimate how difficult it is a just go out and just snap even decent looking photos when filming videos like this. Camera is rolling and there can be a lot of pressure. Great photos Willem! You make it look easy
Making art and watching a new Willem video makes for a perfect evening 🥰
Hey Willem, you do know back in the day, the RB was a studio camera...usually on a camera stand, many times on wheels. It wasn't meant for hauling around town. It was used in portrait studios.
That said, back in the day, I would take my boat anchor out for a walk to the beach, loved shooting the piers, the rock jetty, sailboats and the surfers with it.
I would take a half way decent tripod with me sometimes....one that I didn't care if it was messed up by the sand grains or the salt sea air. These days, I buy my tripods cheap at estate sales, and I still haul my boat anchor to the beach...some things never change!
Surfs Up !
Two of mine had 100 exposure 70mm motor-driven backs and the 100-200mm f5.3 zoom lenses! They were mounted on a 280 pound rolling Linhof camera stand with Miller fluid-heads. The stand also had two Elinchrom EL 500 strobes inside a DYI softbox on a DIY retractable boom. Any studio worth their weight in dirt had them as a standard. Never ever looked at a Blad. I wanted that almighty extra 1/4 inch! On location it was the Pentax 67 with the 90mm LS and the 165 LS. Them were the days!
@@Hadrorex Yes those were the days!! That was quite a set up you had !
@@coastalartistlivingonislan8395, I had a lift-gated 4X4 location truck outfitted with an onboard 20 KW inverter/generator, Matthews and Avenvger grip gear, Scrims, dots, flags, etc. For lighting I had ARRI and Elinchrom. I took the studio to clients instead. Walk-in studios were a dead issue. I had a second truck that hauled a 20X40 foot tent and props. I was able make the tent all black, white or anything between. Walk-in studios are still dead here along the Arizona/Mexighanistan border. All ranch clientele on both sides of the line. Their barns and stables are the new studio, LOL! When done I'd park the trucks at the job office where no one ever got close to them. Retired from a Government job after 34 years. Today I shoot for myself only. I'm 65, too old for that shit. Therapy!
The RB was the first medium format camera I owned and I only really shot FP-100C peel apart on it, bangin’ cameras.
That Subaru exhaust hits on those quiet roads.
I forget that you went immediately to the RZ. You’re focusing screen looked mad cleaner than mine lol. I’ve taken that damn thing apart and replaced all the seals and put it right back together and after going through that experience you might as well call that massive beast of a machine part of my family. Love it!
Willam Verbeeck: Maybe this is just my opportunity to do it better than I would’ve done before.
Grainydays: Now I’ll never know what kind of true masterpiece I could’ve had, had I not been absent-mindedly distracted by the heat death of the universe.
4:45 "sorry if that was scary" that should be on a shirt
man this is so good bro! Thanks for the great review I cant wait to buy one soon! Also early congrats on 400k Subs!
Willem reviewing my all time favorite film camera? Yes please!!!!! 🙌🏻
I love my RB67. It’s super good for portraits and it never fails!
Love my RB67. Def takes time to get used to shooting completely manual but it feels good to slow down to do so. Thanks for the vid!!
I just bought one! Incredibly excited to receive it. My first 6x7 camera.
Great video Willem, as always!. The solution to your double exposure problem, if you haven't figured it out by now, is to move the switch under the film advance lever down so it covers the red dot. This engages a coupling pin that will keep the film from being exposed multiple times. This feature is found on Pro S and Pro SD backs BUT NOT the first generation "Pro" backs. So if you decide to buy any additional backs just keep that in mind. Also, unlike the RZ there is no switch to engage back rotation (no R-M switch), just turn it clockwise for vertical and counterclockwise to go back to horizontal. Keep up the great work!
I’ve had a Mamiya RB67 for a quite a few years now and I absolutely love it it’s such a beast, looking forward in seeing what the future holds on the channel for this camera.
Might start doing some RUclips videos myself talking about my mamiya
extremly late to this video, but a recently purchased rb67 brought me here. so stoked to capture some golden magic!
Love the shots you got in this one one Willem. What beautiful spot 👌🔥
Was really Nice, nice to meet you sir
Btw, the double exposure looks the best ahah
I was pretty excited about this RB vs RZ
Awesome vlog Buddy! I just got my Mamiya rb67, and its a blast to use!
Good thing there’s a lock to prevent double exposure! Hide that red dot
Loved my RB, esp. with the 50mm Sekor C lens. Even took mine backpacking in WY ages ago. I admire your handholding it, I always needed a tripod.
looove the 'sales service' pic. what a great eye! best decision turning back to that spot
What about that Impreza review? Living life ''''
dig the video willem! love the process and how you explain things perfectly!
Film ISN’T dead. Nice video here, I may look for one of these to get into medium format and learn a bit about it. Thanks for this vid.
5:19 that shot is so perfect actually all the shots even the failed ones are so good
Happiest of days when Willem post a video
I feel an inner peace every time I watch these videos. Greetings from 🇨🇱
Subie noises and fire shots from my favorite camera. 👌
the fact oatmeal boi drives a WRX still blows my mind
Great video! Got gifted 2 of these from my dad! Love doing multi’s so this is gunna be wild ! You’ve got my all time dream car too!
Love your videos ! Learning so much about film photography ! Could you do a video about films only, how to choose your film, which one are the “best” etc ?
ahhh, my favorite camera and car. rolling through the backroads with the subi rumble
Finally the rb67 review I've been waiting for!
You’ve got to be joking!
Reste comme tu es mec, tu es cool, humble et tu fais des bonnes photos. C'est agréable. Te prends pas la tête et continue de faire des vidéos de ce que tu aimes sans pression. Toi et Nick Carver êtes les deux que je regarde principalement. L'un a la fraîcheur du jeune curieux et l'autre a la rigueur du bon professeur. C'est très motivant et inspirant.
I love the RB, its heavy, but the i love "feeling the process" when I shoot it
I absolutely love my RB. Top 3 in the arsenal.
Im thinking about picking this up soon 🤙🏽 great video
Fun to watch! Thanks for sharing man
I just bought a RB67 on Monday! So excited
Picked one up in March. Its been wonderful.
That double exposing looks like really good!!!
yessss a rb67 video. it’s all i ever wanted 🥰 rb67 gangggg
Willem with the STI?! Love it bro. Also on the film back, when you're shooting you should move the lever over to cover the red dot, that way you wont fire any accidental double exposures. When you do want to take one, just uncover the red dot again and itll work! Also to shoot in portrait orientation, just turn the back to the right, then back left again for landscape :) Love the videos keep up the great work.
Amazing shots! My favorite camera.
RB67 NATION HOW ARE WE FEELING TODAY?
@Mike Dropped @noahalfarophotos :)
@Mike Dropped @andrelieberher :)
@omarhollanderph
@devcady
Let’s goooo
I’ve been wanting a medium format camera for a while and this video made me want one even more! //: also great video!¡
hahah that wasted part! great video man always have the chill out vibes no rush just a witness to the light :)
The cut at 5:29 to the base drop was 😗👌🏻 chef's kiss
Love the camera and the Subaru👍
Love the blob eye featuring!
There's a little lever next to the film advance that you can toggle to prevent multiple exposures! There's a bit of red beneath it to indicate whether it's safe for double exposure or not.
I can see you shoot photos for 5 hours straigth, your so good damn
Can't wait to get my photo back from the lab with this beast
My RB67 just arrived yesterday! Must be a sign that it the right purchase!
On top of the film back is a red dot visible. Next to the dot is a small lever. This lever is there to prevent unwanted double exposures. Just move it so that the red dot is covered.
Love this video, Just bought this cam today
Photos came out sick dude! 🔥
I think I'm in love with that camera. Take care, Willem :D
Amazing photos on this one!
the “wasted “ was perfect😫😫
Willem's excitement at 4:45 is priceless
Just bought an RB67 had an editorial shoot with it and it was amazing!
Subaru braap and a Willem Video? Is this heaven? The only bad thing about this video is that i'm gonna have to save up longer for an rb right now :/
I've had one 6 months. Love it.
2020 needs more Willem vids
went from the rb to the rz a couple months ago, rb was a great first step but i hands down prefer the rz pro ii model i have. amazing content as always willem 😊
Beautiful photos!
The double exposure at the end actually looks so nice :D
I love your work man
Willem, you truly are the man
That double exposure shot was amazing
