Looking forward to the cameras I regret selling video.

thankful for jason setting up a yard sale and selling these cameras for $5

Never thought i'd live to see the day Jason would sell his Pentax 6x7

Never thought I’d see the day Jason would sell camera gear

Stoked to see what you end up replacing these with. Really sad to see the Pentax 67 go though

I’m thankful for you Jason🙏 thank you for introducing me to film 2 years ago

I went from having 10 film cameras to only having a Nikon FM2, Pentax 6x7, and a Canon Sure Shot Supreme and it was a wonderfully freeing decision. Having only a couple, prefect, tools lets me focus more on those and not just trying to use a different camera every time for the fun of it. Good luck with your separations, it'll get better.

I'm thankful for Caleb, Jason, and Baxter bringing so much joy to The World.

I found out my AP Lang teacher is in to film photography, so I recommended your channel to him. Needless to say, he hasn't spoken to me since. I think I'm failing his class now. Keep up the good work!

Damn, losing that Pentax is an absolute tragedy bro, your videos are what got me inspired to pick one up myself.

Honest to God never thought I'd see the day you'd get rid of the Pentax. Glad so see you evolving and not being afraid of change.

Yay: Shout out to Ken Rockwell. He's controversial to some, but no one has as much free, useful info on a superbly organized website.

So that's it? You let go of your Pentax 6x7 just like that?! I'm impressed by your willpower.

"The Pentax 6x7 is so bulky and cumbersome" *Laughs in RB67*

I don't shoot a lot of film anymore. I'm too cheap to pay for the cost of it when I factor in I could have a new-to-me lens or something for the cost. When I do shoot film, I usually just take my Mamiya 645 Pro TL with 35 and 35mm Panaroma adapted backs. If not that, a Nikon SP (35mm) or Olympus Pen (half frame 35mm). Outside of the 645 Pro Tl, all of my old film cameras came to me in AS-IS condition that I rebuilt in my workshop. I'll pass on Leica when one that looks like it's been through both World Wars, including the beaches of Normandy, is still thousands before I machine the new parts and gather the rest required to resurrect it. M6's aren't terrible for what you get, neither is the glass is if you're committed. Who knows, maybe I'll have one eventually so I can put tape over the red dot and be cool. At least the film cameras are reasonable unlike the 10,000-dollar US M11.

Yes I fell out of love with all film cameras once it cost like 25 to $35 plus to buy my film and get it developed. The original Canon 5D plus several other digital cameras can do just about as good a job or better than most film cameras assuming you know how to use them. I'm not talking about looking at a photo the size of a credit card on Instagram I'm talking about once you take a photograph develop the film scan it edit it print it out then compare it to a Canon 5D which is the only way you can really tell how good it is. I have printed 18x24 and up prints from both film and digital cameras and in my experience the digital cameras were better. Easily sharper and better colors. And could even give medium format a run for its money.

Your humor & video editing is amazing. Love it.

Wow, if I owned a Pentax 6x7 I'd sooner give up a leg than the camera. I can only hope that this develops into a trend and more people end up selling their Pentaxes and the price drops to I level I can afford.

film prices became so high, Jason had to sell all those cameras to keep content coming

Oh my god this feels like an episode of a reality show where my favorite character gets eliminated AKA the pentax 6x7 :(

When Jason said he’d be parting with the Pentax 6x7, I couldn’t help but think of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, when Peter broke down watching America’s Next Top Model.

You need to publish. You have great talent, and I get inspired about my film photography every time you post a new vid. Keep doing your work.

Bronica ETRSi. Just get one. Slap the AE-III finder and a 50mm 2.8 PE on it. That system is slept on. Sure it has little gear clout and people don't routinely gush about the lenses achieving enlightenment and curing all the users illnesses like they seem to do with most film lenses these days...but the PE series are very solid lenses. Idk I'm so jaded by the film community and gear clout / lust. I've come full circle. It's time to return to my crusty Canon T70 with a Vivitar 28mm, leaky seals and Foma 400. 😩

They are going to have to bury me with my Pentax 6x7. There’s no way in hell I can part with it. Uh-uh. No, sir. Not happening ever. I’m quite shocked you’re selling yours. You took some cool ass photos with it. Made me want to get one. This past year, seeing you with that M6 in so many videos did make me go, “uh-oh.”

Turkey basting has never been this entertaining. I wondered how you would get on with the Makina long-term. I had too many issues with mine to warrant keeping it sadly but she’s a beauty.

I have a feeling Pentax 6x7 prices are gonna start soaring in the coming years.

Over the past six months I've also gotten rid of my Pentax 6x7, Nimslo 3D, and an SX-70. They're all fun to shoot in their own ways, but I have mostly been shooting a 6x9 and 6x6 and that seems to be good for me. The Fujica GW690 is probably my favorite.

I have owned way too many cameras. I sold about 42 cameras last year and now I have 3 SLRs, 1 645, 1 6x6 and 1 67 camera (plus a dump load of lenses). This is all I will ever need for what I shoot. I found what I love and I sold the rest and used that money for a quality enlarger and darkroom paraphernalia.

I do understand all of your decisions besides the Plaubel. Ok, I live close to Frankfurt and I took my 69W Shift and the Makina 67 to their store right before they shut it down. I will try to convince my uncle to sell me his 67W and the untouched virgin Makina 67 which has never seen a film yet. Just gotta love your local camera brands.

The new M6... that is cool, but I'm pretty sure that you'll keep on searching "my precious" like Gollum.

I hear you in how cumbersome that Pentax67 is. Oddly enough, I found it's a lot easier to wield WITHOUT that sexy wooden handle. The handle makes you think you can bear the weight with one hand and shoot with the other. It's all a lie! You really do need both hands to comfortably take photos with it.

I see it more of a rotation thing rather than downsizing. As soon as they've gone, I start looking. Interesting video 2x 👍

Jason is starting his nest egg to buy that hello kitty polaroid 600

“When it’s scaled and compressed for KZfaq on your phone screen when you’re taking a dump at work” Jason… I felt that.

I have been swapping cameras for 57 years. I am 70. Hasselblad is what I settled with EL/M cuz I got tired of winding. It is the lenses that made me a lover. Then canon A1 with some nice fd glass. You are like I was. Only more cheerful

I had to do this recently. I’d collected well over a hundred bodies and various lenses for most of the major lens mounts, and they were taking up way too much space, and I didn’t use most of them. Pared it down to 3 Minolta bodies and various lenses for that mount, plus my two grandfather’s Pentax K mount cameras and their lenses, and my M3. Everything else either got sold or went in the trash. Was hard to get rid of stuff, but it felt good afterwards.

I never understood why you bought the Makina when you had the Mamiya 7. If you only had the Pentax 6x7 it would make sens to keep it, but I think you made the right decision

“It literally became my journey into analog superficiality.” - Priceless

Love the channel. Been a long time watcher. During the explanation on the Plaubel Makina you expressed sadness that the 80mm Nikkor lens wasn’t interchangeable because it just made photos look good. It is magical. Not sure if you have much use for it on 35mm film but Nikon did make a version of this lens that you can adapt to SLR cameras. Let me know if you are interested.

Have you tried painting? You’d like painting. It’s fun, lots of texture. Texture, shapes and color is the whole point. Oh don’t do acrylic it ruins painting for some people. Can’t do wet on wet without a lot of acrylic prep etc. People mostly moan about the cancer pigments and solvents for mediums. (Use an open window and just use gloves when handling dangerous paints) (Aw naw listen: cadmium and lead paints are amazing, however you can use less toxic paints too but lead stuff and cadmium is literally amazing and would help you get your images out well) Photographers like us have great references for painting. It’s very fun.

I’ve downsized and now I only have a great SLR with a few lenses + a back up SLR body, an Olympus Sylus + a point and shoot back up. The rest of my gear I “traded” with Kamerastore/Camera Rescue for a huge loss financially but for me it was not important for the gear to be properly taken care of and to give back to the community!

Absolutely love the Pentax 67. There’s something satisfying about the gigantic slap anytime a photo is taken

Watching Jason's videos swung my decision to buy a Pentax 6x7 when I did. I only use it in studio or static outdoor shoots. I can't sell it because I would need to buy 3 x 35mm cameras to fill the space it takes up.

I was almost expecting the AE-1 would be on this list and I would have felt legitimately sad since his video is what got me to buy an AE-1. It is such a good camera but I have been having doubts myself if it is really the camera for me.

Nice. Since you're selling yours, the supply of Pentax 67s will go up by one and the price will come down!

I kinda feel that Im leaning towards 35mm for the ease of use, lower cost, and more obvious film texture too. I have the fuji gw690, and its really more and more obvious why people call it the texas leica. primarily because the ratio is exactly like 36x24, and it legit looks like a 35mm photo unless you zoom to reveal that resolution on the screen.

The thing about quality built film cameras is that they keep going up in value. With a couple of exceptions, no one is making them and demand is rising. In the early days of digital cameras, professionals were dumping their film gear for a few megapixel crop sensor. They were sure that film companies would go out of business. Those were the days to be flushed with cash because Leicas and Hasselblads were on fire sale. There were thousands of film cameras on Craigslist. now there are just a handful.

We need more 120 backing paper licks 😋 or a compilation

I think it's a good idea to dispose of equipment that you aren't using any more. That's a major difference between photographers and collectors. That said, I'm surprised that you're keeping the 8x10, especially now that you're focusing on 35mm. Also surprised that you're keeping that fscking Budweiser POS. Or are you saving it to put under one of Caleb's tires and shouting "floor it!"?

Jason selling his 6x7 is like seeing your favorite character (in fighting games) get nerfed or your favorite gun (in any FPS game) get nerfed, you have no choice but to move on to the next meta. I actually agree with his choice of cameras to take away. If it's impractical, inaccessible, and inconvenient, don't live with it. Get things that suit your needs.

When flaming hot mountain dew is discontinued, are you going to pound back a roll of Aerochrome to protest until they bring the dew back?

Excellent video. I've never used any of those cameras, but I understand the motivation to thin out one's collection. Your droll sense of humour always hooks me into watching your entire release. I hope you are making plenty of money from your channel.

Have always wanted a 67. Plan is to give myself one for my 65th birthday. I shoot a Bronica GS now. Great camera but the lenses do not compare to that glorious Pentax glass. Party on Wayne!

The camera only serves as a light box to me. Some I prefer the handling to others but I don't need but a couple. I learned on a Canon A-1 and now use a pretty newish Nikon Fm3a that just has the coolest feature set with a hybrid manual/electronic shutter. The battery in it only controls the light meter and aperture priority so I know it's a body I can always depend and it has a fast 1/4000 shutter speed and a 1/320 flash sync. It works with a TTL sb-600 that works on my D700. I put all my money into lenses and lighting. I've used Canon, Olympus, Nikon, Pentax, and Minolta. The smoothest handling cameras of those were the Canon A-1, Olympus OM-1, and Minolta X series cameras. The Nikon is very solid and every control has a solid clunk to it. While the controls aren't smooth it does have the best film advance and gets two-three extra exposures on a roll of film. The Canon A-1 has the clearest LED viewfinder. Something I wish Nikon carried over to the Fm3a from their their FM2 but when set to aperture priority and using the convenient AE lock, the body seems to disappear letting me focus on framing my shot. I think it's fun to have a lot of cameras and to find their particular quirks but it's a distraction from having quality glass and going out and finding new photos to make. For the budding enthusiasts, I can't say enough good things about a Canon A-1 (ignore the AE-1)and Minolta X. If you're into having quirky but useful controls, the Olympus is a lot of fun to use especially the OM's that let you press a button to expose for either the highlights or shadows (very clever design) are very cool and the Zuiko glass is more compact and stupid cheap. If you want to be able to use more modern lenses with better coatings then go with the Nikon system. A Nikkor 105/135mm F2 DC lens and a roll of Fujifilm slide film will convert anyone to Nikon. These are my favorite 35mm cameras. I only use the FM now because the A-1 is due for CLA. The Nikon is more robust but it does have a oddly fragile paint job. I would prefer a more serious F3 of even auto F6 if I was to spend a lot of time in a dirty environment. For street photography the FM takes the cake. The A-1 and OM series are tied for second. I will someday have a Canon F1n but I just feel it's unnecessary when I can save my money for more film or vintage glass. Ive yet to use medium format and would to use a Pentax 645 or Bronica but for the pictures I take, it's unnecessarily big and cumbersome.

You should keep the Pentax 6x7 outfit. Those lenses are unique. 40 years later, I wish I had never sold mine.

I always realize that if i want portability i go for 35mm and if i want all the quality i go for large format. The only time i shoot medium format is portraits (even tho large format also covers that). For that i have a Rolleiflex that is just a workhorse and a camera i wont ever let go anyways. Can totally understand why someone would sell a Makina 67.

The only 2 I would regret is the Pentax and the holga. But holgas are easy to get . Once you get a fun copy though they can be hard to let go. Something about the imperfections that makes that camera

Happy Thanksgiving & thanks for dropping a video today!

hearing that you'll be getting rid of the 6x7 truly shocked me, i never thought we'd hear those words even be spoken, let alone - thought of, by you

These cameras are so expensive anymore that I’ve been downsized the whole time

I've narrowed it down to three: Contax G1. Olympus OM-2n. X100F (for digital). That's it. A great SLR, and an auto rangefinder with zeiss. No camera cashing for me. Zuiko glass and the capabilities of an SLR and a metering system that will go for a half hour. And the Contax that will take razor sharp photos in pretty much all automatic. Done. What else is there? At least for 35mm.

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for you posting this today

I sold my Makina W67 for similar reasons. I actually really enjoyed shooting it and the image quality was beautiful but it developed an issue with the winder that required an expensive repair, so decided to cut my losses.

I really enjoyed the baby gator example I’m from Florida, so makes perfect sense.

I was just thinking the other day - I never see Jason using the Pentax anymore. So I think you're doing the right thing.

People say "Pentax 67 is too big and heavy" and then put a massive and pointless left hand grip on it.

I have owned all of these except the Makina and sold them all for the same reasons (except for the Pentax 6x7 - I returned that to KEH after getting three defective bodies). And on your 35mm vs. 120 point, - that's also why I sold my Mamiya 67. The photos that I was getting out of it were so aesthetically boring. They were good photos but they had as much life as a consumer grade DSLR from 2010 (which, as a studio camera, is probably the point).

I know you're not really a tech channel, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on when to use different focal lengths and the advantages of different f stops

Fell into your channel for the first time the other day and I've been hooked on watching your videos. Love your deadpan demeanor and humor. Brilliant mate!

lmao, im so here for the Rockwell dunking

Parting is such sweet sorrow. I'm sure they will find good homes.

The anticipation of all the jokes about regret to come from this video alone.

I'm coming to the position that online 'discourse'/'content' about analog photography is way way too much about cameras and not enough about lenses. a) Hype has prompted people to drop crazy cash on a mint M6 TTL only to turn around and slap a 7artisans lens on it, which is insanity, and b) Most of us are better served in most situations to buy a new lens for a camera we already own than to get a whole new camera

I hated having to face these issues. I also acquired many medium format and 35mm cameras over some 35 years. Taking breaks from my office to hang out at the big camera store in town back in the 1980s and 90s didn't help either. Every time they had a used something come it which they thought I might like, I got a call. My solution was to almost never sell anything, so in retirement, I'm up to my ass in cameras, whole systems of cameras at that. Now, I have to force myself to sell off, before I'm hated in death by leaving the mess for someone else to deal with. The Makina -- That's one problem I do not have. From its introduction, I loved the Nikon lens, but I was suspect of the overall build, and with that mix and the high price, that's one headache I never acquired. I also managed to suppress my lust for the Fuji GF670 (thank goodness) based on sticker shock, although I went all in for some GS645 and GA645 models. When I start unpacking the toy closet, I expect some real angst.

The 67 is a beast but so worth it!

been on the fence with my p67 as well.. for the same reason it’s getting less and less use.. the replacement I’m looking at is mamiya 7 but I’m worried about the electronics failing…

You’re not wrong about that 35mm quality, I mostly watch these videos on my phone while on the porcelain throne

I couldn’t tell if your images were shot on half frame or 8x10 when watching your videos while taking a dumb. Because they’re so so small on my iPhone 13 mini’s screen because of the enormous white borders.

I downsized to only a couple 35mm cameras and my photography improved quite a bit. Constraints are good as well as shooting with a consistent setup.

you have more jokes than a whole one-hour-episode of SNL combined...

I just want to see Jason's Tax Return Agent ask him "What's this write off for $157? It just says 'Mt. Dew'..."

I don't have good cameras, only decent ones. I agree with Jason about keep only the ones that are being used. I'm gifting some of my cameras to family members that want to do film. Just keeping at least 3. The Pentax 6x7 I'm definitely keeping.

I bypassed 35mm film and went straight into 6x7 with a Makina 67, but man am I worried about how delicate it is. I do some photography professionally, but have pivoted more to cinematography work so the 67 is more for fun. I'm a pretty conservative shooter as is, so i really only bring it out for rare and special occasions so I don't necessarily worry about bulky damage use. It is a beautiful and incredible camera, but I think I may end up buying a digital medium format to supplement instead of another medium format film.

If Jason can do it - so can I! Gotta buy all those cameras first ugh ... :D

film daddy is back

“When you’re taking a dump at work” felt like a personal comment… you watching me?

Ken “The Hammer” Rockwell should really should embrace his nickname more often

With your Mamiya 7 you're making a great choice: how many incredible 67's does a man need?

This is hands down my favorite channel in existence.

It’s tough to say goodbye. Your video is therapy.

I love the 1.33 aspect ratio of your videos.

Post a link to them whenever/wherever you're selling them at. I'd love to buy one or two of them! 😯

7:30 YES 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Watching this as I too am starting to sell some gear......then suddenly I somehow "need" the Pentax Soft lens.....damn you

I am starting to realize I might have developed a problem with watching your videos when I could guess what cameras you were getting rid of before you said it. (until the pentax that was devastating)

The only thing I’m thankful for today. A new video

I sold all of my gear, kept a fuji xpro3, and a Yashica D, TLR. Literally nothing else is needed.

Owning a Plaubel Makina is really more like just borrowing it from you camera repair tech occasionally.

I've parted with I think 3 different Pentax 6x7's at this point. Image quality is undeniable, but it's so cumbersome.

You're making the same mistake I made 6 years ago: selling the 6x7 ... You'll never forgive yourself.
