Is the 75mm f2.8 worth $2199? 

Their upload cycles are still in sync, so cute

Always a good day when there's a Bad Flashes episode 🥺

My 67 came with the f4.5 when i got it, and I've taken some of my favorite landscapes with it. It's definitely no slouch as long as you don't need the extra stop.

Your videos always bring me an intense photography roadtrip wanderlust

I’ve gotta say, lovely shots, sweet focal length, and that what-if-Ozymandias-lived-in-midcentury-America sand-flooded house location was unbelievable. Look on my grain, ye mighty, and despair, kinda vibes. Also I feel like I ought to thank you and Jason for helping change attitudes about Pentax. I know I didn’t always give them the credit they deserve, but look at them now. Leica drops new M6s, then Pentax is like “Yeah, we think what we ought to be doing is making new film cameras.” Then, Leica is like, “We are pleased to announce…” and Pentax interrupts like “Hey guess what, we made a monochrome camera and it’s the first monochrome DSLR!” And a day later, Leica is like, “Ok, yes we ALSO made a monochrom camera. We know we’re ripping off Pentax, but ours is better because we leave off the silent E.” I mean, Pentax is bananas in the best way, and the 67 is awesome, even if it is only slightly more reliable than a 4runner.

As always watching your Bro road trips is such fun and love the results. Have the 105 and 55mm combo, also the right grip 3D print is so much better than the jumbo lt grip, I stick an L-bracket on for tripod and two handed if I want the extra. Finally, Woodford reserve 👏👏👏

You know we want that “drunk in a motel room Mamiyabuddies” podcast right? ❤

Great shots from Tatooine

Yay, my favorite duo have uploaded. At some point in June, I’ll be taking a trip through to Arizona to visit grandparents (I live in Nor Cal). Any cool spots you’d recommend?

Trying something new here. Ultra short comment attempt. 800t is my fav tbh. Also Roys is such a cool spot. Love the reflection shot on the car. That halo shot was so cool as well! 4:45 Also, we need the drunk pod episode. k thnks. cya. ciao. farewell.

Love your channel. As an East Coast boy, I can't wait to travel R66

2:44 We’re all sensible drivers when our parents are around… 4:03, DAAAAAMNNN this shot is so good! I LOVE the colours, the composition, that reflection is framed spot on! Very much not @AnalogRepeat worthy!

Any video about Pentax 67 is worth a thumbs up by me. For all of the back and forth, mush-mouth analysis, the answer to the title question seems to be NO. This is what happens when you set up to critically compare two lenses but don't want to say something to offend a subscriber who holds a strong (and unreasonable) belief contrary to what you may say. So, do you need a 2.8 for closer focus capacity to do portraits? Not unless you like perspective distortion and want to pay back Mom's past transgressions with "camel nose" for her head shot. Need that extra 1.3 stop of aperture of the 2.8? Not if you use your 67 like most owners, shooting landscapes on a tripod at f 8.0. Otherwise, the 2.8 probably has measurable but insignificantly better resolution and a slightly higher contrast overall. Tests published when it was first introduced also show that it has significantly higher linear distortion than the 4.5, so not for shooting brick walls. I've used the 4.5 for decades. I can afford a 2.8. Not worth the effort to trade for the 2.8 unless its price were to fall about $1,500 IMO. If I had no 75mm and were to go shopping and find a truly mint 75mm 2.8 with caps, shade and case for around $1,600, would I buy it? Probably yes, but I'm a gear hog with a bottomless budget.

I still can't get over the fact that you got to TURN ON THE ROY'S LIGHT! It clearly put some pixie dust on your hands and consequently your photos.

Really liked the gray background when presenting your photos. It has less influence on the photos than the pink one.

What is the light meter app you are using in this video. The one you metered the sign for Roy's.

Bad flashes, good vibes! 👍🏻

So... I bought a Pentax 67 yesterday. My medium format journey begins. It comes with the 75mm f/4.5 and the 200mm f/4. Have you ever shot with the 200mm? I wish it was the 105, but the 200 seems workable enough for portraits.

Love the title card! Super sick!

Great video. Thanks

Awesome video！！

The biggest issue with the 4.5 is how dark the viewfinder is with it. Certainly not worth getting the 2.8 over though.

Yay great way to start my day…. What’s the weight difference between the 2? Every 1/4 oz helps when the body weighs the same as a Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka ….

Hey, I was on my lunch break!!

Ok. I need to know...... Where did y'all get your nice majestic felt hats...... I NEED TO KNOW!

The fact i get two great videos at the same time makes me happy, now wheres the mamiyamigos 👀

1:32 Yup!

Like the Roy shot at 4:27

Wish you had told me that after my 50mm lux purchase for my MP..

You should follow up with the SL66 80mm 2.8 adapted to Pentax 67.

Caleb, whenever you or Jason start up with that bangers talk, it makes me think of Miley Cyrus. That just doesn't seem right.

Think of it this way: buy the f/4.5 and you can afford maybe two extra months of shooting on Kodak film if you're budget conscious and shoot Gold instead of Portra...

Nice vid. I think I would definitely go for the slower lens.

BBQ FTW.

Excellent choice of bourbon.

With Jason going the 1.33:1 square aspect ration route. You should go the complete opposite. You should go Super Panavision with 2.20:1. Just go the extreme.

I can no longer hold this to myself... your intro music is 1000% better than Jason's. There, I said it.

Well done!

Whoah! ...that's it; just whoah. capital W, capital HOAH!

Keep the 4.5, and use 105mm with extension tubes for portraits. Done.

75 AL, What's al mean???

Hey! What's the light meter app you use on your phone?

sorry I have a question, since that film photos resolution should be higher than your video resolution 1920*1080. Have you meet a situation that the film photos are losing quality after exporting the video? or do you have some recommendations of putting film photos in video and not losing its quality? Thanks in advanced!!!

At minute 4, what was that app for exposure? Seems real nice.

Yes, it is.

Does anyone know the metering app he's using?

oooh what light meter app do you use? I've tried a couple and I think that they aren't super accurate!

Why is Jason selling his Pentax 67? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Couldnt you buy an RZ67, a 110mm and some BBQ for the price difference between these lenses??? Or a Hasselblad and some Zeiss glass? Erm.......

Just like old film cameras, old forerunners also need regular maintenance

These types of parking lots at night just seem like the type of places people get murdered at in my creepy story podcasts 😱

01:30 Damn, it's like you're in the room or something

Man my car is in the same price range as this lens.

#save the4runner

Is Jason still selling his 55mm?

非常详细

What light meter app do you use?

sorry, watched jsons first again 🥺

A Contax T3 is the same price, and well more worth it. #Contaxt3videowhen? #BringBackKodakAerochrome #Contax #Pentax

I'd say happiness is worth $2199.

Side note: those big palm trees need some big googly eyes put on them......

What light meter app is he using? 3:31

Wait. A Pentax video. Where it doesn’t break? Some thing isn’t right here.

great lens, horrific price😧

buy a 4.5 for about $200 and spend the rest on kick ass BBQ and pitchers of 805. Problem solved

😍😍😍

I don't even have to watch the video to say NO, it's not worth $2k+. If it's not a Leica lens, hellll nawwwww

No

The colors on the 2.8 are Sick!

What a loaded question. Loaded with gold from Fort Knox.
