Awesome Images! Please consider making a light metering tutorial, I would love to see that, as you only seem to use the lumosphere! Especially in these extreme backlight situations :)
So glad you're liking the videos. Tons more already filmed and lined up so stay tuned. And you should try a Pentax 67 one of these days. Such a fun camera to shoot with.
So glad you liked it and appreciate you writing. It’s always a question we’re pondering of that balance between something short and concise to keep attention or making it a bit longer and showing more. Glad you liked the longer version.
You should really get that 105mm 2.4 , the legend! I’m sure 67 will have better quality even though Contax 645 has 80/2 Zeiss , 6x7 is almost 2 times bigger. Can’t beat that. Really love your videos , your vibe and style. You are very gentle ! You can adapt Projector lensss to pentax 67, like 150mm 1.7 ... BOOOOM
If you have a Pentax 67 and all you use is a 105mm lens, then you are cheating yourself out of most of the benefit of the camera. Overall, the Pentax 67 lenses are exceptional, and they are very inexpensive in the depressed film market today. Many YT videos and comments focus on the 105mm as a great lens, but it really is not such. It was designed with the origin of the system in the mid-1960s. Unlike most 67 lenses, it has never been optically upgraded to take advantage of technical advances. Of those four lenses which could be considered "normal", it is the least capable in terms of image results. It's very sharp around f8.0 +/- a half stop. Wider, the image starts to fall apart, and it's practically useless faster than 3.5. It's reason for existence was marketing. Pentax wanted to introduce the 67 system to the market in 1967 advertising the fastest medium format lens being then sold, so it did. The 90mm 2.8 (not LS) is significantly better and about the same price. The 100mm 4.0 totally blows it into the weeds, but at a dramatically higher cost. Other system lenses with great imaging and lower cost are the last two versions of the 55mm, the 75mm 4.5, and the 165mm 2.8. Lenses to avoid are 55mm 3.5, 90mm 2.8LS, 120mm, and 150mm. These go back to the 1960s and were later replaced by better options.
Randall Stewart I have tried the majority of these lenses on my p67 but I have always preferred the character of the 105, if all I cared about was sharpness I would shoot digital. When lugging a system like this around I don’t want to have a load of lenses and the focal length is fairly close to the 50 Summicron on my m6. Each to their own, that’s the beauty of film, due to the relative inexpensive we can experiment with things, that is why I suggested trying the 105. Have a good one and thanks for the considered and thoughtful reply.
@@simongreetham8445 I absolutely agree with you, I've shot a few lenses on the Pentax 67 and by far my favourite is the 105mm! It's the legendary lens for the system... anyone that argues with that really needs to have a word with themselves! For portraits the 105mm shot wide open is absolutely superb!
Thanks for this awesome video! I would love to buy a 105 smc for my pentax 645, I have heard that results are very similar to Contax Planar, can you confirm? Would also love to see the scans of this shoots, are they published somewhere?
Yeah, totally agree. We didn't have other lenses for the 67 at the time we made this. Would have been a way better comparison. Thanks for taking the time to write and thanks for watching!
this guy has no idea about the lens equivalent focal length in medium format! 80mm is a normal focal length and 45mm on 67 format is a super wide angle something like 20mm in 35mm format.
That’s ok. He makes beautiful photos. That’s what matter. No one cares about your lenses . Customers don’t care . But I’m agree it’s better to know . He should have used 105mm 2.4. But anyway it’s a gorgeous video
Do you guys just go around and sit on classic cars that aren't yours?! I really hope these cars belonged to you or that you at least asked the owners for permission to do this. Photoraphywise I really like the crisp sharpness of the Contax! Incredible camera and the details are pretty good for small sized mediumformat.
Everybody check out marker 1:12🤣 maybe next time the photographer won’t let out a HUGE FART around his very attractive model! Pretty gross and shows y’all aren’t attentive to detail, you just think u are. Heyy at least the fart was on beat🤣
A tip for whoever did this for the next time: if you are going to compare cameras of different format by just shooting a bunch of photos, you need to mount lenses of similar perspective. Here we have the Contax with a 80mm, about equivalent to a 50mm in 35mm format, while the Pentax 67 mounts a 45mm, roughly equivalent to a 22mm lens. You can shoot photos all day, but you aren't going to get any meaningful comparisons based on images.
totally agree. It was the only lens I had at the time so it was more of a functionality and use of cameras comparison vs the actual photo results. You're 100% right though.
