Love the photos! I barely touch my Sony, just feels like a hot mess of options, so I feel you, for most people you just want to shoot not fiddle with millions of settings (depends on the subject of course).
Cooke Lenses (old and new), particularly the Panchros and S series made for cinema are above all else for me. On the stills for cinema side, hard to pick but Minolta Rokkor and Canon FL/FDs are up there. A few other sleepers might top those but I'll leave that up to debate.
Thanks! In my opinion, full frame lens speeds win. For example a 67 75mm f2.8 is equivalent to a 35mm f1.4 on FF and a 67 55mm f2 is equivalent to a 28mm f2 on full frame. I’ve shot the latter side by side and they’re basically the same. Faster full frame 28mm lenses do exist.
My only comment is home development is not the same quality on colour film. The bleach and fix mix is not as good as a lab process. Colour casts can also happen from small temperature changes. The negatives are typically grainier.
@@julienajarryI meant that home development with blix yields a grainier negative than lab development. I quit home development on colour and decided to leave it up to the lab.
Home made development for the portra is not doing it any favours. If this was done at a good lab, I think the colours for portra would be better than what you have here. The colours you have here for the digital shots are more film like than the film shots - I think scanning using the Sony camera for the 67 is just not bringing out the best colour of the film, again good scans from a lab would really bring out the best.
I appreciate your feedback. I’ve shot a lot of film. Negative lab pro white balances off of the negative. I respectfully disagree with what you’re saying.
first you talk about the development then you get into the scanning, i think you don't know what you're talking about lol you can get the colors to look however you want in negative lab pro
I would agree. I’ve seen comparisons of Negative Lab Pro VS a Fuji Frontier Scan and the Frontier scans are better. It captures the blues better. Negative Lab Pro does provide value though and does fill a gap. But nothing beats a Frontier scan
Awesome video ! I'm myself a happy owner of the same set ups (Pentax 67 with 105mm and A7RV with 1.2/50mmGM) and i've been diggint this topic a looooot. Like a lot lot. Very happy you made this great video about this specific topic/set-ups. Thank you ! You made a great comparison here and it's clear we can achieve a lot with these new cameras and lenses. I agree with your conclusions, i made the same. The sony can get close to the look of the 105 but... it's not entirely the same sadly. Here are some observations i made during my own tests, hoping it'll help complete your test : The 105mm being a 50mm equivalent, it's still a 105mm lens so the compression is different. That's what you point with the bokeh bubble and the foreground bokeh being different. The 105mm is also wider than the 50mm GM (due to the 6x7 ratio) which is (to my taste) so much better, because you can have a larger image (for environnemental portrait for example) with that buttery depth of field, almost reminding 4x5 as many say. Last thing, and excuse me if i didn't ear it in the video, but did you think about switching off the "electronic first curtain shutter" on the A7RV ? It makes a HUUUUUGE difference in terms of bokeh when you reach high shutter speeds. If you didn't, i guess you need to make another video😁.
105 f/2.4 on 67 is a 45 f/1.0 equivalent, so the Laowa 45 f/0.95 is probably the best option for Sony for that look. 65 f/1.4 on GFX would give you a 47 f/1.0 equivalent and the rendering is closer to the 105, so that’s a solid option as well.
@@DustinFrancisgood point taking aspect ratio into account . 24x36 needs to be reduced to 4:5 making diagonal of 38,42. Pentax 67 = 87.3 38,42/ 87,3 = 0.44 crop factor. But 105mm keeps 105mm lens characteristics and compression. So it’s not that easy for small 24x36 sensor to have such look. Yeah 65mm 1.4 on gfx is exact look of 105 2.4 . I’ve shot side by side .
I love this style for you bro. It “feels” like you are just taking us along for the ride doing something that you would do even if you weren’t filming this for us. Keep this up bro!
Thank you for this. I've done similar comparisons on my own channel but with digital MF with FF, it can be close at times indeed! I did not expect FF to match THIS CLOSE to Pentax67, impressive! Up until now I was thinking the GFX + Mitakon 65/1.4 would be the closest thing to digital P67 look, but now you have me guessing! At least the Sony + 50/1.2 route you get competent AF! great vid, thanks for sharing.
Nice! I saw you post this in the Pentax Facebook group. I don’t have this lens yet for my a7cr but it is tempting. I do have a Pentax 67ii and 105mm f2.4, I also just got a Schneider cinelux 105mm f2. Which I just shot my first few rolls through it recently. But thanks for this video. Crazy how close the comparison is. The issue for me is editing. I don’t really like it. I pay for premium scans from the find lab and use frontier scanner. The scans 90 percent of the time look perfect when they come back. Especially portraits. So it takes the need for editing out for me. Which I love
excellent video, best I have seen on this topic. Makes me kind of want to get rid of P67, I have been considering this for a while but this just makes my case stronger. I have been using my Panasonic S5 a ton and never find the will to carry around the heavy pentax and spend a ton on film. I might give the verygoodpresets a try, they seem very nice for sure
Love the comparison. You should give the Archetype Process film emulations a look. It uses Lightroom Profiles, so color accuracy is a lot better and the dude profiled different exposure levels and scanners (Frontier/Noritsu) etc.
Good video, I’ve been looking at one of these as a b cam for my FX6 as well as photo camera. Do you pair it with the FX6 I saw in the video? Or just 2 x A7RVs?
