Ultimate Mamiya Photo Battle | RB 67 | 645 Super | C330 

The guy with the M645 had the best photos, but he also had the easiest camera. The guy with the RB struggled the most because it was the most user unfriendly camera.

I love my 330. Been shooting 220/330 for decades. The 330 is an elephant of a camera. Perhaps that is why this camera instils a sense of faith and reliability in me that I get from no other camera.

Great shoot, great model, and an excellent trio of cameras and photographers! I've been a Mamiya fan since my Dad brought his RB67 home from work for me to try back in the early '80s! These three here are my favorites. For some reason, I can't hang on to the C3/330s that I've owned. Sold a C3 to fund another camera, then bought a C330 later, only to give it to a young photographer who really needed a 120 camera. Just ordered another C3. Not selling this one, I swear! I love my 645 Super, but the RB is my favorite. Glad to see it being shot handheld, as nature intended! 😂

I loved the look from the portra 400 with the 645 the most! I have a 645 super with ae prism finder and its my favorite medium format 📷

the accidental exposures were amazing 🔥

This is some seriously great content. Excited to see what else you guys put out :)

L1, L2, L3, B2, B4 and B6! I kinda like them all tbh, great work everyone!

Great video, great photos

great video, love the concept of time limited shoots. This was fun to watch.

what a great idea - especially the atmosphere in the group was very pleasant to watch . like them all, nice that everyone has his own style - and my fav is the J1

Awesome video - keep up the amazing work 🙌

They all killed it. GG!

Awesome video and nice pictures!! 😃😃

I'm looking at the 645 now. I loved the video and subbed. I think that will be my next camera.

My personal favorite is the very last photo shown at the end of the video after the ending credits. It is a head & shoulders close-up of the model surrounded by the three photographers who are capturing her image with their cameras.

Well done lads

Dope video keep creating!!

Nice job to all for the challenge each had some nice shots of the lovely lady! I would imagine the 645 was the easiest to use in these conditions!

DOPE VIDEO AND SHOTS! I GOTTA SAY...THE GUY, WHO KEPT HAVING THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, HAD THE SICKEST SHOTS THO - HE'S SICK WITH THE ANGLES!!! ALL WERE ON POINT...BUT I LIKED HIS THE BEST! THE MODEL IS AMAZING TOO - SHE TAKES SUCH GOOD PICTURES! LOVED THE VIDEO! SUBBED!!!!🔥👊🏾 - THE BLACKMAN ARMED WITH A CAMERA

Video well done very inspiring

From all 3 photos are very nice, rb67 technical beast.

Bravi ragazzi!!!

Get it together jay!!!!!

Is it me or was there a bit struggle with focusing with the pressure of time? lol L2, L6, J2, J4, B2, B6= Both B2/B6 were pretty damn good.

Awesome vid guys :)

Great video! I have the Mamiya C330 and from what I can see in the video, the RB and 645 both look more vivid and sharper than the C330. All are capable cameras. The 645 is a great looking camera and can make sharp images, unless there is a need to go larger in printing, the 645 and C330 is great.

Love this

Awesome shoot and my faves were L3, J3 and B2. Give me an invite next time!

L3, J8 and B2!

5 minutes is tight!!!

I love these videos! MORE! let me shoot with you, come to the UK

RB67 Hands down 🎉

All you guys need to invest in a grip for your cameras! A Mamiya left hand L grip for the RB67 & C330 & I think Mamiya made a power grip for the 645 Pro.....a grip on these larger cameras improves the ergonomics considerably. Also the owner of the RB67 should invest in one of the newer film backs which were made for the RB67 ProS, which have a double exposure prevention mechanism built into them.

Not a fan of the five minute time limit for medium format film cameras but interesting none the less. I own the 645 1000S and it *is* easy to operate and I think it compares favorably to the other two cameras.

Amazingly done!

the guy with Mamiya c330 nailed it, also he got a cool strap which is big plus

A fun video. I like all three cameras. Good to see medium format coming back. By the way I have all three of those cameras. I am going to dust them off and get back into it.

RB67 all day long.

Pictures J2 J4 J5 are magazine quality 🎉

Beautiful work!!! Which camera and lens for image “B6”?

I have used the Mamiya 220 TLR and the RB67 SLR but I have never used the Mamiya 645. I used the 55/80/180 lenses with my Mamiya 220 and 50/90/180 lenses with the RB67. The Mamiya 220 produces twelve 6x6cm images on one roll of 120 film. The RB67 produces ten 6x7cm images on one roll of 120 film. However, since I carry more than one film back, I can easily capture 20 6x7cm images in 5 minutes.

cool video, especially cause I am looking for a C330 and a 645 a the moment, I have a RB67 and a C33 at home...I got the feeling the 645 is simply easier to handle, the shots seemed sharper, with the RB You struggle with the weight and forget things or get hasty, I think it was visible in the video (the double exposures etc), at least a strap would be necessary, to have a better balance. The 645 is also not a lightweight but much more compact, the C330 is probably much like the C33 in handling it, but also more compact, better to handle then the RB. But...5 Minutes for a Roll of Film...thats tough...they should make this again but without a clock ticking.

I like B2

I subscribed. Now I demand more badass videos.

what lens was used on the rb67?

Do more videos please!

What is the advantage of any of these over something like the Mamiya 7 for portraits? Newbie here, just trying to learn!

The photos were mesmerizing. Video was smooth. L6 was by far my favorite

Who is the best?

the shot from the TLR had me, quality over quantity. BUT feel ya when tht accidental dbl exposed happen on the rb67. U keep forgetting to advance the film always.

I have 2 Yashica TLRs and always tell myself I am not going down the rabbit hole of MF system camera. That said looking at the c330 I know its inevitable if one is a TLR fan, which I am. Thanks

Is it too indecisive to say I like’em all? 🤷🏾‍♂️😅

👍👏🥰

🇮🇹 👏👏👏👏👏 🇮🇹 👏👏👏👏👏 🇮🇹

I would Battle c22..c330..c220...objective best Is 65...80...105...135??for portrait?

B6

First guy, Luc was so much better than the other two. Cutting the background in two (e.g. light and wall) above her head is not the way to take a portrait.

Waste of film

A bunch of film wasters!

What a waste of film!

RIP to the dude carrying around that rb67 all day
