Please try french Royer Royflex III
You are supposed to go under that first bar. Your pictures will not be accurate because you went over
чё такие кадры мыльные? смещена призма?
I have no words for how beautiful and well thought of these pictures are.
I was thinking of getting one of these cameras, now you have solidified it for me. Your photos on this video give a real classic and cosmopolitan style. And your choice for model has a very classic old world feel. Well done!
Hi Mathieu ! What are you doing loading the film the wrong way on this Rolleiflex ? and showing it on paper too !!! With this tele Rollei you would normally take advantage of the longer focal length (135 mm) and shoot a person at a distance of maybe 8 feet or less and obtain a nice shot from the waist up or a little closer for a head and shoulder. Actually you did load the camera correctly at one point, otherwise you would not have had any picture at all ! But I would suggest making a corrected youtube. The shots in this video are much more as if taken with a 75mm or 80 lens at 8 or 10 feet. I hope you don’t mind the comment.
My father used those cameras exclusively for wedding photography, He still has one brand new in the original box. They are great cameras! PS you fed the film wrong. LOL. You talked about the stress of not knowing what your pics look like. Imagine shooting an entire wedding on film and not knowing for weeks until it came back from processing what they looked like and your reputation as a photographer being on the line. If something went wrong, there were no do overs.
I almost never shot my Mamiya C330 handheld with the 135 lens. Get a tripod.
This is awesome. I have a Yashica D TLR with Yashinon lens which I haven't used in years. I'd like to shoot with it again. It's winter now in Australia and I'd like to load some Fuji Velvia 50 and shoot some slow shutter speed images of the local creek and waterfall after the rains. Just wait for an overcast day and grab my 3 stop ND filter.
FINNNNLAAAAANNNNND Moiiikkaa
STOP, you don't load a Rolleiflex like that, Rollie, and TLR stands for one silver roller on Top, in these cameras, the film counter is disengauged until the film is senced by this first roller ( a calliper effect, the roller behind this one toggles the gear 'in'- mesh when the film pushes them apart!)- one of these rare cameras that needs special methods to deal with it, like all MF cameras, with their darkslides on the magasines, or for instance, in the Rollei SL 2000f and SL3000 series 35 mm camera, where the battery compartment piggybacks the film magasine, and the film advance mode selector (multi-single exposure) is ALSO a power switch, in addendum to the obvious one by the viewfinder.
What's that music at the end? Sounds great
Try using a monopod while shooting the Tele Rollei, it will pleasantly surprise you on how much more sharpness you can get from the same lens.
wow!!! dream camera
This is very entertaining! A mate of mine used to use one when I was studying in the 90's. I shoot a Yashica LM still. I have a video of me shooting it on 1994 expired film!
I think the model looked a lot more stressed in these photos. She looked way more natural in the video. If you didn't tell people these photos were taken with film, I doubt anyone would prefer these over the photos in your other videos with digital camera + interesting vintage lenses.
so…….lovely.
Really amazing photos! So clear I was amazed.
Best camera I ever hade in my hands.
What a stunningly gorgeous woman. She knows how to play to the lens.
for a 60 years old camera thats a good resolution
טוב 🙂
After seeing this, I may decide to get my Mamiya C220 out of the cupboard and shot a few rolls! (it has an 80mm f2.8 with leaf shutter and should still be functional)
The camera to take portrait perfect photos. I love it.
I still have my dads rolli.
Interesting to try
You've got to work on your loading technique.
The lady looks way better when after shooting.
12 photos means that they're far more precious.
Wow. What a beautiful model
The price is a lot more than Canon EOS 90D
Excellent work brother. I am very much impressed by you work. Brother keep it up 👍. Really it had shown that Old is Gold ❤️❤️❤️. Love from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏
I'm on the hunt for Mamiya c330 if I can get it for cheap great cameras
Shooting with a Rollei is left and right reversed, it takes couple of rolls to get used to it.
2:16 Just missed the film counter rod. lol
Waow my dad has that exact same camera just in a brown leather casing instead! I think it was actually my grandfathers and when he past my dad kept on to it! It’s still in our kitchen cabinet, I wonder if he’s going to let me use it..? That would be really cool😊
I LOVE THESE CAMRAS I HAVE ONE AND I NEED FLIM FOR IT
A 60 year old camera is better than the one in my phone, lol
How much is the focal length of that camera?
50mm? 35mm ??
Nice job!
I found a Kodak Folding Brownie at an antique shop. i managed to find 120 film for it, and began taking snaps.
Luckily, my highschool's art teacher taught photography, and developed the images for me.
Only three of them were usable, but the quality was great.
My dad had one of those type of camera when I was in elementary school. Film movies and take photos was two of his hobbies Love the style of photos of those camera. I still miss take photos with film roll camera. I feel its miss something taking photos with smartphones.
She's a Finn?!
Medium format is so much fun, I've had a couple of Kievs and I do have several Mamiyas. I think my favorite one is TRL Mamiya C 330F. I highly recomment it -it's the only TLR with changable lenses (great ones too), it has paralax correction and is just a wonderful camera. Looking forward to more of your film adventures 😉
I did many weddings using a single camera – A Rolleiflex TLR with a 75mm f/3.5 Xenon lens.
Well done and glad you had fun doing it. film does slow you down a lot but its such an enjoyable medium to use. it has an atmosphere and feel to it you just cant match with digital no matter what sort of filters you use.
