I had a Makina, unfortunately the shutter mechanism broke twice within 2 years requiring each time a months long repair for more than 1000 Euro/ Dollar despite being really careful with it. So eventually I gave up on it since it was not reliable and costly to maintain :( But I always loved the concept, design and image quality) - I am back to reliable Leica Ms :)
I loved mine, but I spent more keeping it in repair than I spent on the camera. The nikkor lens was in the top five sharpest lenses I’ve ever owned including the hassleblad I also owned at the time.
Great video and you have a new subscriber. I currently own a 1951 Voightlander Bessa II with a 105mm Color Skopar f3.5 lens - I love the detail I get from the 6x9 format and it's a really great folder camera - I'm wondering how it would stack-up against the Makina 67 - I'll have to look for some comparison video's. When I look at the detail I get from the Bessa II when I shoot Ektachrome 100 I really cant tell the difference between my Nikon D850 and the Bessa II.

Hi Jeremy, other than the heft and bulk, how does the nikkor 80mm lens on the makina compare to the pentax 67's 105 f2.4 lens?
great review. appreciate you talking about the less technical (qualitative as you say) aspects of the camera and lens.

Hello! Yes please say Hi! I am at peninsula plaza quite frequently.... hah!
Man I bought one of these for a pretty solid deal recently and I was going to sell it but I can bring myself to do it lol. It’s fun to use
I use a Fuji 670 which works like my analog Leica MP except medium format. Love it. Lot cheaper then the makiba.
Awesome! Oh interesting.. Where I am, the GF670 is more expensive / similarly priced to the Makina...! I guess prices fluctuate!
I am also on the fence for a Makina 670 or a GF670… or should I get that MP first? I use a Minolta XE-5 and 1😊
