The Mamiya M645 1000s Review: Is It REALLY The "Poor Man's Hasselblad?" YES! 

This is probably the best and most informative review I could find on here, thank you!

Thanks Eric for another informative video. I really enjoy your videos and your relaxed way you present all the info. Makes me feel like I am sitting in your living room with you and you are showing my one of your cameras.

This is the best camera review because you detailed every feature and quirk of this camera that is important for every owner to know, even if its 40 minutes I am glad I watched this video through.

I would really love to say, Thank you... for this awesome inside and review of this incredable camera. I'm also, thankful for this channel. Also, thank you for the photos and taken time out for such wonderful videos.

Best review/introduction of the 645 on RU-vid. Thank you!

I always enjoy your videos. You have a terrific collection of cameras and your presentations are clear and informative. Thanks for all your efforts.

This is the best camera review/instructional video on youtube. Just snagged one of these cameras and this was way easier than reading the entire manual.

Great review! My neighbor gave me a 1000s that was in a box in his attic. Used to belong to his Uncle, a pro photographer back in the day. I had it sitting on a shelf for months, and recently decided to get it working. So far so good!

Best 645 review i've seen! You have a really clean example of the camera

Beautiful, thoughtful video that highlights the assets of this camera. Thank you!

You covered EVERYTHING I wanted to know! I have just bought one so this was so helpful. Thank you so much.

Have my hands on this Mamiya M645 1000S to test out for my self as I have never shot this camera ever! Even though I have the Mamiya 645 Super and Mamiya RB67 Pro S. I prefer what I have so far and maybe if after shooting a roll just to test for light leaks and functionality! Great in depth review! Thanks for sharing!

Great instructional review, I recently received an older and very well cared for m645 500th not the 1000 speed and no self-timer, however neither really come into play as of yet. I am really happy that I came across this video, I found it incredibly helpful, thank you, your new subscriber.

I'm actually planning on buying this camera next month and this video was completely useful, exactly what I wanted. Thank you sir.

Eric, thank you so much for such an informative video on the 645 1000s. Partially based on this video I recently bought one of these from a camera store in Japan. The camera is beautiful. It feels very well made. On my first roll of film I had five frames that has a band across the image from a small light leak. I researched and found a gentleman that makes a light seal kit for this camera. I ordered the kit and in a few days got a very precision cut light seal kit. I spent a couple hours following the directions that came with the kit, very carefully removing the old deteriorated form and cleaning all surfaces for the new seals. I got the new seals installed and everything looks good. I just shot my first roll of film yesterday after the new seals. I am anxious to see the results. Thank you again, keep up the good work on all of these wonderful film cameras.

Just ordered 2 of these bad boys. Looking up to replacing the light seals a little, but can't wait to play with this camera! Thank you for this wonderful review, really relaxing 40 minutes on my Sunday!

That was a very very comprehensive review of the Mamiya 645! I have my analog photography vlog too! More power!

I have one on the way from Japan can't wait to try it out. It's coming with an 80mm f2.8 but I'm considering getting a 45mm f2.8 also would be nice to have that wider option. Thanks a lot for the review I always find your videos super informative and helpful.

New subscriber. Nice to see an intelligent, more laid back channel for a change. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the review!
