Plaubel Makina 670 (First Impressions) 

How are we supposed to know what this camera is capable of without an empty pool shot? smh

I own the Makina 67 and W67. Tip: refocus the lens to infinity before retracting the lens to help ease the strain on the lens wiring.

That’s a wild focusing system. I lowkey like it!

Jasons last name in german means „field of sadness“. Exactly what i feel watching this video

Barber: how much mullet you want? Jason: YES Monica: No Jason:....no

My favorite 67 camera! I even sold my Mamiya 7 (and Mamiya 6) after shooting with them in parallel for a while. I absolutely love the shooting experience, compact form factor when collapsed, and the rendering of the lens - much less 'clinical' than Mamiya glass. Also good to know: the meter is a spot meter and really accurate - the camera was developed for the professional market, therefore the meter had to be reliable enough to shoot slide film with it (there is a really interesting interview with the designer of this camera on RU-vid). It's also worth mentioning that the camera itself is fully mechanical, it only needs a battery for the light meter.

fun fact: "that clown" in the Wim Wenders movie is the singer of a famous punk(-ish) band from germany called Die Toten Hosen haha

The "clown" is actually the front singer of a very famous, german band called "Die Toten Hosen" (the dead pants) - the more you know!

Baxter's appearences: 1. 1:51 Greetings, peasants

Hahaha this guy on Baxter’s channel is pretty good, he should start a RU-vid channel 😅

These images turned out amazing. This lens renders colors so beautifully.

Just discovered your vids. Really enjoying the laid back vibe and dry humor. Great quality and fresh shots in every vid. Keep up the great content!

These are incredible shots on this camera. Nice to see some variety within medium format that's outside of the typical Mamiyas. Looks to me as if it's an absolute dream machine.

i cant get over how beautiful some of these shots are. the color in the portra ones is unreal

Man you're my fav channel when it comes to film photography! Always a highlight when you're uploading!

I love your vids so much bro. The commentary, jokes, music, photos, editing, etc I fw all of it bro😩🔥🔥love the vibes

This has been a dream camera for years. Loved hearing your thoughts on it and really like the photo at 4:46 of the house with the sliding door.

Great camera and review. As a single parent raising twins on my own, I have had to be more budget minded with my camera purchases. I am sure a lot you have checked out the prices for this neat kit and may be finding it a bit out of your price range. I can recommend a couple of other cameras that can get you into medium format rangefinder with interchangeable lenses and backs for much less. These are 1970's cameras. I have used a variety of Koni Omegas that are 6x7 interchangeable backs, lenses available are 58, 90, 135 and 180. The Mamiya Universal or Mamiya 23 have interchangeable 6x7 or 6x9 backs, lenses are 50, 100, 127, and 250. These are bulky and heavy. These were used primarily as press or wedding cameras so ideally you want one that hasn't been abused. I would be very wary of buying one from Japan as there are often rust on the metal parts and humidity problems resulting in mold in the lenses and rangefinder. One very cool feature of the Mamiyas is that you can put that 50mm on with a 6x9 back and get an ultrawide image equal to a 21mm lens on a 35mm film camera. It's sort of like the Hasselblad Superwide without the $4000 price tag. One more thing, you will need a hand held meter. For both cameras, you'd be fine with the wide angle and normal focal length lens. I have been impressed with the quality of the lenses. Both wide angle lenses require the matching viewfinder so don't buy the lens without it. Also, to be safe, replace the light seals on the film backs.

excited to finally see your first impressions on this cam

Oh shit, I didn't even know how much I missed your videos. With these crazy times, everybody going nuts inside, it is a real treat to chill out.

Really love your videos. Btw you keep me motivated to shoot more photos. Thanks

In Germany, we say to room temperature beer: American beer. 😅

Legend goes that he sold the Fuji blimp to fund this extravagance. Outrageous

Damn boi. Nearly all of this images are dope. Love them all. Wondefull to see a new video from you. Keep going.

These videos are always so solid, they make me want to get out and shoot more all while being jealous of the shots he makes.

god damn right awesome. this showed up in all of the gamestop videos and this is the vid i needed. thanks.

Bruv, those shots were smooth and that lens is unbelievable!

Sharp sharp lens! I love your subscribe animation at 12:25. Great job.

Hätte nie gedacht Campino in einem grainydays Video zu sehen

You are a true entertainer in the art community, my friend. Hats off to you. Ektar is my favorite color stock and I think your images are fire. Baxter is King.

Awesome. Next on my list of cameras to buy.

I love those plants at 4:30! Gorgeous video clips and photos.

I'm new here and I love your sarcastic commentary, definitely keeping notifications on for your channel

Lo-fi music with a photography vid is the same as photo editing with coffee, you just get those vibes that SUPER SATISFYING!!

This gentleman's photography and humour is amazing. I shall dedicate the freest of my time to show him off to my other photographer friendos.

Capable, very capable Medium Format camera, not cheap last time I looked.. Keep up with the informative videos 👍🏾

Nobuyoshi Araki shot a lot with the Makina 67, his book Tokyo lucky hole was shot mainly on that camera

My favorite camera! I really like the dreamy looks the lens produce. Please shoot it and show us more...

Beautiful shots man 👌🏾 also, that 2.8 lens 😍

What can I say!? For my is one of the best channels on RU-vid. Beautiful as always.

you had me going there at 9:11. solid work as always

Amazing results

Beautiful light

Jason...Your last name, Kummerfeldt, means field of sorrow in german.

Love the Black & White!

Big fan of full metal builds on cameras, this might be next in line for my G.A.S

I love your photos!

the 800t pics were amazing bruh. the colors were super soothing my guy

I deeply appreciate the level of overkill that comes with owning three different 67 cameras. I hope to achieve this one day.

Jason is picking up every dream camera in existence.

Love your humor

nice, definitely some of your best work

Awesome content man!

Beautiful! I also have several medium format cameras but somehow the desire to buy a Plaubel is still very strong.

Thank you for this entertaining, informative video! And the hair cut. I know it's not 6x7, which I guess is the whole point, but there is a very nice 80mm f1.9 Mamiya lens for the Mamiya 645 camera, that you might enjoy checking out.

Ah yes, this channel *chef kiss*

Your best video yet.

Congratulations on your PMS!

Phahaaa I love your comment section. All my germans out there who felt the same way as me with the word Plaubel. Shoot some Ektar100 in the Swiss Alps recently and loved the results. And immediately thought: Jason would block me from his channel if he knew I liked something Ektar100 related. Happy to hear you two made amends, kind of.

So entertaining not only for the photography content 😂 you are so funny 👌

Damn I love those sweet in-between apertures!

I owned this camera for about a year. Such a wonderful lens, it’s basically a 40mm f/1.4.

Subbed for the audio quality 👌

Despite your faux complaints, the images are outstanding. Love the colours.

I had one and wish I never sold it. Best camera ever made!

The Ektar shots are f'n beautiful.

Dude, your photos are getting REALLY good.......

Mamiya didn’t go under in 1984. They did shut down their 35mm section of the company but still continued with medium format. I’ve used the mamiya 645 auto focus back in the late 90s. Then there was the partnership with Phase One, (makers of Capture One) where they made digital backs for them. The Mamiya 7 he has came out in 95 and the was a 7ii that came out in 99. On a side note ,I don’t have a Plaubel camera but I do have 2 Plaubel filters and have to say the coatings on them are incredible.

some of the best photos I've ever seen in one of your videos, specially the portra 400 shots. Did you overexosed a touch to get that pastel look? did you tweak the colors in lightroom?

This is may be my 10th time watching this video. I love the design of the Plaubel Makina but I think I keep coming back to view the images from this video. 💚

3:27 - wait, why did I think for a second that there could be a dead body on the beach? Oh yeah, because I am on Jason‘s channel where everything is possible (and of course you have to get rid of the original owner of the Plaubel somehow).

HA! I dig your sense of humor man!

Love the 3D at the end

Nice vid. always a buzz to see people actually shooting film. Had this camera for a couple of years, total love affair. Shot 3 rolls in total, but carrying it around sure did feel real good. Newton shot with it. by no means the same thing but a Moskva 5 6X9 is great fun for 90 bucks. legend has it that you aways open bellows before winding on the film.

I really liked the photos.

well this just threw a wrench into my plans... Now I have to decide between the Plaubel and the Mamiya 7

ur videos are the best

Nice shots. Always wanted that camera. Bring back the mullet.

That second cinestill shot was nice

When a bus starts approaching I am sure Kaleb is not close to you. Great session today Jason.

When that YAHOO slammed out the lens and bellows I spit out my coffee. How could he possibly treat such a beautiful piece of engineering like that?

what a fantastic camera, I'd own one JUST to say I had one pretty compact for a 6X7 too Really enjoyed this video

Hey man just discovered you channel. Love your stuff. Your they only person I subscribe to :) (other than my kid's) so thats something.

5:08 i'm going to start using this technique on my RZ bellows when focusing

Wow it looks like Ektar 100 works very well with eater reflections. Makes it look more like a dark chrome.

800 T at sunset actually looked really nice. I wouldn't be upset digitally adding some saturation.

nice job! thanks!

Never heard of this camera. It's so old but cool.

My dream camera.

everything here is just nice

Took a trip to the NC mountains last fall and the best film I have used so far has been Ektar 100 shot ½ box speed.

Love my makina 67. Unlike you I fold and unfold for almost every shot. Closed up it feels like a tank - insanely portable and never prohibits me from taking it along. Love the video

Ypu should get a folding voigtlander, all the controls are on the front of the lens, made to be slow. It's fantastic!

Watch about film photography but stay for the humor and journey. lol 😂 great video as always!

I so want one of these.

Using Makina 67. Try to shoot a portrait around F5.6, it’s stunning.

I'm from Germany, and I would have absolutely believed that Plaubel was a German word.

What the fuck are those houses right at the beach, holy shit. Great camera and nice pictures as usual, thanks for the video!

Would at the same time, love and hate to see more videos on this camera. Love because I’m super in love with it (50mm equivalent and 2,8f lens, whats not to like). Hate because it will make the price go up even more and I will have a even harder time getting one.
