When I was stationed in Germany on my first tour (1969-1974) I didn't get into photography in a big way. But on my return in 1977 I got a great deal on a Mamiya 645. The local military outlet had a camera, complete kit, marked at $360. Body, prism-non metering, 80mm lens, and one 120-film insert. They had marked it wrong and had to sell it to me for that price. The two German instructors I had could not believe the deal I got. I learned a lot about photography and darkroom operations. I got rid of it in 1982 with additional accessories that I had acquired. Now I have three Mamiya systems and I am waiting for the fourth to come in to replace the first one I sold. All of them will get used as I attempt to introduce members of our photo club to shooting film again and processing their film. Great presentation on a unique and proven camera.

You can squeeze 16 shots if you load it just right. You can change backs by using a portable change bag. Ah the things we did to get around problems. Bride wanted black and white during the wedding. Fiddle but no problem. You could time when to swap back. Or talk to them. Change their pose while swapping backs. Remember in them days. We tended to only shoot 72 to 90 pictures. When I had a great couple lovely location I would shoot 120 lots of colleagues would be amazed that any. One would shoot so much. And yet after 38 years. I loved that time the best and probably earned the most. Doing as much as 54 weddings a year. One time 7 weddings in 10 days. I was asked to photograph a wedding for a lady on the last day of her life. Went from the hospital to the lab help in the dark room. Put the 20 pictures in the album and went back 3 hours later. In time for the family to enjoy their day with their mum. My wife was the ward sister her and the other nurses thanked me. But it was a privilege to be with this family at such a moment. We make memories that last for ever.

Just a minor thing: 4/3 ratio (i.e. 6/4.5) is so very much different to 3/2 (as in 35mm) aesthetically. At least to my perception. I almost always find myself cropping digitals to 4/3 and I always find 35mm prints to "rectangular". Whatever you prefer, it *is* a different beast.

It would be my favorite camera if they put in the meter inside the camera itself and not in the prism finder. I prefer using the waist level finder and also is the prism finder pretty heavy. One other thing. I have a Hasselblad 500 and I tried many different focusing screens but none are as brilliant and easy to focus as the one in the Mamiya. The difference is really noticeable.

I have one of these, with Mamiya lenses from 35mm to 300mm. (And the Mamiya 2x extender) I often use Kodak Technical Pan film, which shows up the slightest imperfections of any lens. I have been delighted with the results and the film area is 3 times that of a 35mm. It is well worth the exercise. I highly recommend this robust, super camera. (The prism finder has an exposure meter that always surpasses my expectations)

For a medium format beginner like me, this was the clearest and most useful guide, so thank you for taking your time to explain, and provide pointers to what's the most important aspects. I have yet to receive the camera that I have bought its an m645 and Sekor 150mm f4. The former is lacking the DOF lever and self timer, and that bugged me but the price was really good compared to 1000S units on sale. Still I have to wonder if I will miss the DOF. The latter apparently isn't the best Sekor, but I have start somewhere, and I live in France so light isn't a huge problem as I will do mostly landscape and close exterieur views. DOF/Boeh might be. For the self timer, I have anyway a tripod but will probably buy a cable release for some situations. Have you ever needed the self timer? I wondered about other things you didn't cover here. 1. Filters - Have you needed to buy ND or UV filters for your lenses? If you use others, which are the most useful in your opinion for general colour work and for B&W? 2. Front lens hoods - I see you using them on some of your lenses, and wonder if you guys have found they were needed after shooting for a while, or they just came with what you bought 3. Shake - as I mentioned I don't anticipate shooting in low light, but I do wonder if you have noticed shake through the shutter and mirror mechansims when shooting at low speeds. In particular do you see any difference between the two shutter releases? Also is a shutter lock a useful feature i.e. do you use it? In my youth when using mechanical 35mm, I didnt wind on my film as I encountered the issue when manipulating the camera in my bag etc. 4. AF - I am a LOT older than you, and my eyesight doesnt get any better. That means that I wonder at my capacity to accuratehly focus. Everyone says the viewfinder is amazingly bright and that's great as short sighted folk like me need it. But I also suffer from async astigmatism. Time will tell once I get started, but given the overall (increasing) roll and lab prices, I won't spend too much time if the results show this to be an issue. Do let me know if you have any friends 68 and over that use these. :-) Thank you so much for a really useful video.
@AnalogInsights
11 ай бұрын
Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write down all these questions. To keep it short: For the purposes you describe, you might not need the DOF lever. For filters, I would always recommend an orange or yellow filter for black and white work and maybe a graduated neutral density filter for shooting landscape and toning down the exposure of the sky. The rest is optional and a matter of taste. Shake shouldn’t be a problem and yes we did use the shutter lock function. I also don’t have the best eyes but always find it easy to focus such medium format cameras since it is very apparent through the viewfinder what is in focus and what is not. I hope this helps a little. Enjoy your journey in the medium format film camera realm.

I see what you're saying now. Fair enough. I'm amazed at the lack of videos on KZitem about the 645 AF series cameras. I can only guess that the analog variants weren't very popular as they came along just as digital was emerging, and the pros went to DSLRs at the time instead of medium format digital. Also, just around that time, Mamiya underwent changes in ownership, eventually becoming Phase One, so perhaps that caused some confusion. Maybe I'll take it upon myself to make a video to introduce my 645 AFD, a beautiful camera with the same great optics Mamiya has always produced.

I am doing portrait and landscape photography and am currently using an OM-1 from my dad.

Maybe someone of you can give me an advice for what is the best option to meet my needs.

Leo Löff Go for the 80mm lens if you’d like to shoot portraits as this is the equivalent focal length on 645 medium format to a 50mm lens on 35mm film. Just take a look here for a better understanding: www.kenrockwell.com/pentax/645/35mm-equivalent.htm In a nutshell, a larger film negative size leads to a different focal length equivalent with 35mm film as reference point.

I carry one back with color and the other with b+w film. As far as the battery that is necessary, it might be possibly hard to find it at a neighborhood store, but using the internet it’s easy peasy. I always carry spare batteries in my bag.

Nice 645 camera! I recently picked up Bronica ETR-Si (645) and GS-1 (6x7) cameras, and they are really good too! How does the Mamiya system compare to Bronica?

Wie so oft - ein tolles Video! Vielen Dank dafür! Leider inspiriert ihr mich immer wieder weitere alte Kameras zu kaufen :) Die 645 habe ich seit zwei Wochen und bin nach dem Wechseln der Lichtdichtungen gespannt auf die erste Rolle. Welchen Entwickler nehmt ihr denn für den HP5? Die Bilder haben ein schön feines Korn.

Long time viewer of your channel, and just curious about weight and ergonomics of the 1000s vs the Pro TL. I really want a light camera to walk around with and was curious about if the weight difference was significant for the pro. And if it felt comfortable to use the waist level view finder vs the prism? Should I just save up for the mamiya 6? Thanks!

Tolles Video! Klasse Kamera :) ich habe sonst immer auf die ProTL geschielt wegen der wechselmagazine usw. Aber so kompakt und praktisch wie die 1000s ist eigentlich auch nicht schlecht :) Habe sogar noch passende objektive. Der Body alleine ist ja relativ günstig zu bekommen. Vllt eine Idee ;)

matthias drobeck Hallo Matthias, nur ganz kurz: Neben der kompakteren Bauweise, macht der 2te Auslöser den großen unterschied. Kleines Detail,... riesige Wirkung. Ich habe genau deswegen meine 645s nie verkauft. Auch wenn ich noch eine 645 Super besitze.

How can you send the pictures from the camera to your phone or laptop?

You have to scan the negatives. I use my Sony a9 and the 90mm macro to scan my negatives. Then edit in Light Room.

It really depends what you aim to do (required quality, film economy, type of photography, etc.) with it and how experienced you are. If you’re really just starting out with film, I would recommend the F3, if you’re already more advanced, go into medium format. The M645 is a great way to start. :)

Yes, it is possible to change the viewfinder with the camera loaded with film.

1:05 inexpensive? I mean for a full time adult photographer I guess $500-$700 is justifiable, but I’m a 19 year old college student so I’m gonna keep on dreaming of using this camera while I toy with my 1940 Spartus Spartaflex which I’ve already broken and had to repair.
