Been back on the weekly uploads the past two months!

Congrats on the film camera my dude. I was into photography before, but your channel got me into film photography during the pandemic, and I’m so glad to see ya come so far

damn meeting Todd, releasing your own point n shoot, AND these photos are crazy good like always. you gotta go down in photo history.

THE PICTURE WITH COUPLE AND THE BRIDGE THROUGH THE TREE!! BROOOO! BROOOO LOVED IT!

this feels like film mate . the volumetric lighting the fog added looked really magical . Loved it . Best wishes with your camera launch

Looking forward to the interview and hope you get more opportunities like it! Also good on you guys for coming up with a reusable snapshot camera, as you said, most of those disposables are probably not being recycled so major props for offering and alternative/solution to that issue.

Damn! We are so blessed with all this WIllem video uploads. Thank for all of these videos man! Really makes my day

The shot of the GGB with the couple in between the trees is a perfect 5/7

I laughed when you said "not expecting to find the fog this morning". The fog almost always covers the west side of the city and stops right about at Twin Peaks during fog season. Anything on that east side (presuming where you stayed) is generally pretty clear most of the time. Super cool to see you shoot around my city

Another smooth video! Thank you for putting out content that is so real!

Awesome! So good to see your business succeed and growing like this and the new products. You're really making me homesick for California, too. Cheers, Willem! ✌

Really enjoyed the experience of this video. Congrats on your new camera and the Long Weekend product line is looking really impressive. Nice work both of you.

been having a rough time lately, but my day is so much better now bc there's a new willem video out!!

Prachtige foto’s en mooie film Willem, 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 the backpack looks amazing 🤩

Congrats on the new products, this video, and the interview!! I can’t wait ❤

Willem Verbeeck YT vids are one of the few I watch all the way through. Keep up the great work bro! You inspire many~

just pre-ordered two of those bad bois! stoked for what ya'll are doing with Long Weekend! Can't wait for the Todd Hido interview!

So beautiful cant wait for more videos

This is peak Willem, the videos are getting SO GOOD

These are some of my favourite photos of yours dude! So, so good.

Nice, nice job- so glad you finally got to experience Yosemite...it is truly amazing......two shooting buddies and I did a winter shoot this past January (2023) at Yosemite..... we were lucky- our schedule date- just happened to be in between all the storms- so we had a clear weekend - it was awesome- I highly recommend you plan to go back with snow as your background......- chasing the light is much shorter..... and colder!..On morning it was 17 degrees - as we set up our tripods on the Merced River.... and laid in the snow..... but the shots were amazing with the mist rising from the water. Next time your in the City at the GGB- drop down just below on the west side of the cliffs- the closest beach to the bridge- is Marshall's Beach- that is tucked in between the Bridge and Baker's Beach- you'll definitely want to hike down there and take some photos- easy access from Lincoln Blvd- it is awesome- and if it is low tide- you can get real close to the bridge.... and congrats on your new gear- very happy for you. Cheers

Awesome video as always! I just got a Leica Cl after my 2nd Minolta cle stopped working. I took it on a road trip around Georgia and I love it! Such a simple beautiful little Leica. The shutter is beautiful, the only thing that gets to me is loading the camera specially when standing. Other than that it’s a great fully mechanical camera!

Cool to see you stuck with the CL! Amazing camera and the pictures were awesome. I hope the spool doesn’t fail you, it’s fragile and age has weakened them🙏

Props on the new drop. All 🔥

Grew up on Flickr, hanging with photo friends from across the country, and meeting photographers we loved. You're throwing me back, and I watch a lot of your content. I especially love the trip videos. Keep up the good work. P.S. I drive a Gx470 with a rebuilt engine.

It was great meeting you and Jay at Glacier Point. Love seeing what you both snapped during your trip. Love that you got footage of the guy in the pink coat and noticed my wife made a quick cameo as well. All the best, my friend!

wow I can not wait for the Todd Hido interview!

Can’t wait to give this 35mm film camera a try. Congratulations and best of luck on your latest endeavor

now I wanna go on a road trip! Beautiful shots ✨

Always a pleasure to see ur videos

Glad you’re using it brother!

Gorgeous photography.

I tried to like this video twice. Great work :)

omg congrats!!! can't wait for the interview!

Really liked this video! I love film photography and also I will soon be travelling to San Francisco and Yosemite for the first time😍

That CL and lens takes beautiful photos

I love to shoot on film, to be honest, especially Kodak Gold 200! I recently took a photo of the Popocatepetl in Mexico on Kodak Gold 200 with my Nikon F50 and let it print on a 40 by 60 cm format! Picture was sharp and great, because of the SLR made '95! Here' s my question: why isn't anyone interested to bring back a budget SLR, instead people making those crappy, cheap, easy to produce point and shoot ceameras with the fixed focus plastic lens... I don't get it! Please bring back an affordable 35 mm SLR with interchagegeable lenses! That's a market niche and that's what the 35 mm shooters really want! Kind regards Patrik Krispler

FINALLY the Leica CL getting some love. Super underrated - although it doesn't calculate flash automatically from what I gather.

You know it’s a good day when you see a new Willem video

20:09 the photo of the three is beautyful!

I wish I had more time and energy to go out to shoot more but time keeps running out....keep going the more you move/take actions the better the outcome...loving the contents to keep me motivated cheers

great, stoked for that todd hido interview!

Seeing you interview Todd Hido, who‘s also been a massive inspiration for me, is incredible🥹✨ And huuuge congrats and best wishes for the camera launch!?😵🙏🏼

I started shooting film because of you bro. Thank you!

cameras look cool, especially the beige one!

nice shoot

Who makes the camera and the components?

i love that in every video Willem is taking "tons of photos" :))

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! thank you for the inspiration :)

At the time (1973) the Leica CL was designed/produced, tripod plates were not really a thing. There may have been one or two, however more popular was the 1/4-20 screw with retaining ring on fixed plate/platforms. So more of a “modern design conflict”. That being said…… great images out of your camera….. keep up the great work!

Nice images & film 👏👏👏

I love your videos make me feel great, like a meditation sesion. Muy buenos videos de lo mejor que he visto en Ytube. ❤Gracias sos el mejor iiii

So happy to see you doing some really incredible things. Interviewing Todd Hido must have been so special. And a Long weekend camera!!! Love seeing the brand grow into something really interesting❤

Nice Video! As a Nor Cal/Bay Area native, I think non-natives should explore more than SF, Oakland, and Yosemite!

Love your videos willem! You’ve inspired me to shoot film and it’s such a wonderful thing and keeps me thinking creatively. Keep up the fun content.

It was a pleasure to meet you in Yosemite brotha. Great vid

fog is a great way to find that liminal space vibe Mt Davidson can give great views of the city, but prefer it in the fog. (you passed near my house in that fog)

The Jimmy portrait ep goes HARD

GX dailyyyyyyyy! Yessssss

The full extent of Yosemite is larger than the state of Rhode Island. There are some wonderful places to hike/back pack to. e.g., Iceberg Lake and Thousand Island Lake. Hopefully you'll return and further explore and photograph.

little known fact about single use cameras, the only part which doesn't get recycled in the film negative. Pretty much everything else is sent back to the manufacturer to be reused or recycled

LETSS GOOO‼️‼️

i love that you created this not single use camera and it kinda helps with the problem of disposable cameras I agree but why use abs material? pet/petg would be much better environmentally i think as abs is not recyclable.

13:23 is a _STUNNING_ photo. wow.

You'd think it might go unnoticed, but apart from the video's overall quality, I greatly enjoy the font you used in it.

Thanks for teaching me how to say Yosemite i've been calling it YOSE MITE all my life

great video

As someone who owns and has taken many trips up and down the state in my gx470 haha the gas bill must have added up!

That Lexus GX is sickkkkkkk

LW Camera photo (18:54) might be my favorite image of the entire video.

Hey! I'm a photographer from Belgium, and I've been following you on both KZfaq and Instagram for a while. You're a huge inspiration, and I learn a lot from your videos. Recently, I've been looking into getting a Leica CL because of your positive experiences with it. However, I've heard about some issues you had with the camera. I was wondering what problems the camera had and how to test or identify them? Thanx!

Is their specific name for the model of leica cl? Pics come out so beautiful

Babe! Willem posted a new video!

Surreal seeing you sit at St Francis Fountain where I've spent countless hours of my life with a camera around my shoulder chit chatting and eating

Makes me want to pick up a prime 35mm!!! Love this shit mate!! I’ve been using my 16-35mm sitting at 35mm and been frothing it. Keep these up, they’re inspiring as fuck

Love video 📹🎏🌁

I’m definitely going to be picking me up that LW crème color way. Your scans from it surprised me with how great they were considering it’s basically a disposable. It says it’s optimized for 200-400 speed film but I’m assuming it can read 800 codex?

Does anybody know where that hike is located with the cross ?

Hey Willem, will the LW camera ship to UK? Or is it US only ?

The photo at 13:50 is so cool. How did you manage to have the subject crisp but the background blurred?

im leaning on learning videography and photography. if there is, what type of style does willem have in terms of color grading, videography and photography? i love how lively his outputs are :))

Great work!! Overseas shipping for the LW camera?

Hey, Willem! Curious what your experience with the TLA 140 flash on the CL has been. No TTL, right? Love the look and small form factor !

Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like Three 6 Now I'm feelin' so fly leica G6

could you add in the camera settings you use on each shot?

I hope Apple hire you so you can bring a little bit of film photography magic to their digital cameras

Have you thought about trying the camp snap camera at all willem?

Just preordered the camera - I'm so excited to see alternatives to disposable cameras!

Consider making that a split frame? (olympus pen)

Keep driving north homie

Pretty sure I saw a mountain lion in Yosemite back in 2016. Close to where you took the shot of the winding road with Half Dome. Make sure to check your back! :)

It would be nice to see the camera specifications, e.g., the iso range, the lens focal length, the fstop range the shutter speed range, and, of course, the lens quality as expressed in mtf graphs. Thanks

Would love to see a backpack review from you :) cos i love the look and want to get a hang of how you would use it!😊

What lense do you have on the camera here? Thanx

Love the photos and LW Camera BUT… are you driving a GX470? Have you compared one to a FJ80 or something? I’ve been really curious about the 460/470 lol.

The gx470 though. I want that rig. How do you like it btw?

I’m curious. How do you manage to compose photos and take a video of yourself “taking the photo”? Do you have a videographer? Great job!

Where i can see Todd Hido video?

dope video, are you driving with your shoes off?

Kudos for trying to make all of this more sustainable. Really appreciate that, I might just buy one :D
