How are we supposed to know what this camera is capable of without an empty pool shot? smh

I own the Makina 67 and W67. Tip: refocus the lens to infinity before retracting the lens to help ease the strain on the lens wiring.

Jasons last name in german means „field of sadness“. Exactly what i feel watching this video

My favorite 67 camera! I even sold my Mamiya 7 (and Mamiya 6) after shooting with them in parallel for a while. I absolutely love the shooting experience, compact form factor when collapsed, and the rendering of the lens - much less 'clinical' than Mamiya glass. Also good to know: the meter is a spot meter and really accurate - the camera was developed for the professional market, therefore the meter had to be reliable enough to shoot slide film with it (there is a really interesting interview with the designer of this camera on KZfaq). It's also worth mentioning that the camera itself is fully mechanical, it only needs a battery for the light meter.

Barber: how much mullet you want? Jason: YES Monica: No Jason:....no

That’s a wild focusing system. I lowkey like it!

The "clown" is actually the front singer of a very famous, german band called "Die Toten Hosen" (the dead pants) - the more you know!

fun fact: "that clown" in the Wim Wenders movie is the singer of a famous punk(-ish) band from germany called Die Toten Hosen haha

Baxter's appearences: 1. 1:51 Greetings, peasants

Great camera and review. As a single parent raising twins on my own, I have had to be more budget minded with my camera purchases. I am sure a lot you have checked out the prices for this neat kit and may be finding it a bit out of your price range. I can recommend a couple of other cameras that can get you into medium format rangefinder with interchangeable lenses and backs for much less. These are 1970's cameras. I have used a variety of Koni Omegas that are 6x7 interchangeable backs, lenses available are 58, 90, 135 and 180. The Mamiya Universal or Mamiya 23 have interchangeable 6x7 or 6x9 backs, lenses are 50, 100, 127, and 250. These are bulky and heavy. These were used primarily as press or wedding cameras so ideally you want one that hasn't been abused. I would be very wary of buying one from Japan as there are often rust on the metal parts and humidity problems resulting in mold in the lenses and rangefinder. One very cool feature of the Mamiyas is that you can put that 50mm on with a 6x9 back and get an ultrawide image equal to a 21mm lens on a 35mm film camera. It's sort of like the Hasselblad Superwide without the $4000 price tag. One more thing, you will need a hand held meter. For both cameras, you'd be fine with the wide angle and normal focal length lens. I have been impressed with the quality of the lenses. Both wide angle lenses require the matching viewfinder so don't buy the lens without it. Also, to be safe, replace the light seals on the film backs.

Hahaha this guy on Baxter’s channel is pretty good, he should start a KZfaq channel 😅

In Germany, we say to room temperature beer: American beer. 😅

Legend goes that he sold the Fuji blimp to fund this extravagance. Outrageous

This has been a dream camera for years. Loved hearing your thoughts on it and really like the photo at 4:46 of the house with the sliding door.

Hätte nie gedacht Campino in einem grainydays Video zu sehen

i cant get over how beautiful some of these shots are. the color in the portra ones is unreal

I deeply appreciate the level of overkill that comes with owning three different 67 cameras. I hope to achieve this one day.

Jason...Your last name, Kummerfeldt, means field of sorrow in german.

These are incredible shots on this camera. Nice to see some variety within medium format that's outside of the typical Mamiyas. Looks to me as if it's an absolute dream machine.

3:27 - wait, why did I think for a second that there could be a dead body on the beach? Oh yeah, because I am on Jason‘s channel where everything is possible (and of course you have to get rid of the original owner of the Plaubel somehow).

These images turned out amazing. This lens renders colors so beautifully.

Nobuyoshi Araki shot a lot with the Makina 67, his book Tokyo lucky hole was shot mainly on that camera

I'm from Germany, and I would have absolutely believed that Plaubel was a German word.

Back when these were new (which I remember because I'm heckin' old) everybody admired them for the lens, and cursed them for their fragility (wind mechanism, struts, shutter/meter wires...) I'm guessing the same is true now except that there's next to no hope of getting them fixed.

the "clown" in the movie also focuses with the lens

Love my makina 67. Unlike you I fold and unfold for almost every shot. Closed up it feels like a tank - insanely portable and never prohibits me from taking it along. Love the video

Mamiya didn’t go under in 1984. They did shut down their 35mm section of the company but still continued with medium format. I’ve used the mamiya 645 auto focus back in the late 90s. Then there was the partnership with Phase One, (makers of Capture One) where they made digital backs for them. The Mamiya 7 he has came out in 95 and the was a 7ii that came out in 99. On a side note ,I don’t have a Plaubel camera but I do have 2 Plaubel filters and have to say the coatings on them are incredible.

I owned this camera for about a year. Such a wonderful lens, it’s basically a 40mm f/1.4.

f6.9 and f4.20 - nice.

Jason is picking up every dream camera in existence.

This gentleman's photography and humour is amazing. I shall dedicate the freest of my time to show him off to my other photographer friendos.

When that YAHOO slammed out the lens and bellows I spit out my coffee. How could he possibly treat such a beautiful piece of engineering like that?

I'm new here and I love your sarcastic commentary, definitely keeping notifications on for your channel

You are a true entertainer in the art community, my friend. Hats off to you. Ektar is my favorite color stock and I think your images are fire. Baxter is King.

Phahaaa I love your comment section. All my germans out there who felt the same way as me with the word Plaubel. Shoot some Ektar100 in the Swiss Alps recently and loved the results. And immediately thought: Jason would block me from his channel if he knew I liked something Ektar100 related. Happy to hear you two made amends, kind of.

Oh shit, I didn't even know how much I missed your videos. With these crazy times, everybody going nuts inside, it is a real treat to chill out.

Just discovered your vids. Really enjoying the laid back vibe and dry humor. Great quality and fresh shots in every vid. Keep up the great content!

I love your vids so much bro. The commentary, jokes, music, photos, editing, etc I fw all of it bro😩🔥🔥love the vibes

Man you're my fav channel when it comes to film photography! Always a highlight when you're uploading!

Ah yes, this channel *chef kiss*

What can I say!? For my is one of the best channels on KZfaq. Beautiful as always.

These videos are always so solid, they make me want to get out and shoot more all while being jealous of the shots he makes.

Even for my nighttime cyberpunk heavily edited photography, I try to avoid modern cars. They just don't feel right.

Lo-fi music with a photography vid is the same as photo editing with coffee, you just get those vibes that SUPER SATISFYING!!

3:00 Oh my god, I think about that all the time! Are these cars just uggly to us of will they forever be ugly? I wonder if photographers from the 70s thought the cars from that period were uggly and they wished every body drove a Model T. But honestly, I don't think so. But who knows.

This is may be my 10th time watching this video. I love the design of the Plaubel Makina but I think I keep coming back to view the images from this video. 💚

Has beef with Ektar 100, "but I don't think these photos turned out too bad", proceeds to take really great pictures. 😂😍

"... when these models will be considered vintage" exactly what I think all the time

Yep, mine broke within about 40 days. RIP in Peace, sweet prince.

I’m watching this drunk rn and I love this

The clown is Campino from Die Toten Hosen, a famous Punk Band in Germany and behind! Made my day, I love you man!

First, I am German and I have no idea what Plaubel means but old beer is called „Plörre“. Second, the guy in the short movie is called Campino the lead Singer of the Punk Band Die Toten Hosen, and is interestingly a good friend of the Photographer Andreas Gursky (for a while the best selling Photographer in the world) which whom I am related to... Although Andreas is more into Hasselblad, I can imagine, that he lent Campino one of his hundreds of vintage Cameras (I am completely uninterested in Photography, but if YOU would visit Andreas in his Studio in Düsseldorf, you would bitterly cry for days). That would explain why he didn’t care about the Camera, because if he wants a Camera, he just buys it (his most expensive Picture Rhein II was sold for 4,3 Million Dollar, so he just doesn’t care).

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who has issues with Ektar 100. I'm sure I could get better results with any black and white film with a blindfold on and using no light meter than having a camera with auto exposure and focus with Ektar 100 loaded.

Hugo Schrader named the company after his brother in law Karl Plaubel. I have never heard Plaubel for "room temperature beer". Must be a very very old term for that. These days room temperature beer is called "Plörre". I am german and i drink a lot of beer. But never at room temperature… ;)

"The Clown" is the front man (Campino) of a German punk rock band (Die Toten Hosen).

Capable, very capable Medium Format camera, not cheap last time I looked.. Keep up with the informative videos 👍🏾

Would at the same time, love and hate to see more videos on this camera. Love because I’m super in love with it (50mm equivalent and 2,8f lens, whats not to like). Hate because it will make the price go up even more and I will have a even harder time getting one.

excited to finally see your first impressions on this cam

Took a trip to the NC mountains last fall and the best film I have used so far has been Ektar 100 shot ½ box speed.

I had one 25 years ago. Really cool camera. I think I paid $500 for it. Prices now have gone bananas.

the 800t pics were amazing bruh. the colors were super soothing my guy

well this just threw a wrench into my plans... Now I have to decide between the Plaubel and the Mamiya 7

My dream camera.

"Men, you know what I'm talking about. Eventually, you---" For a second there, I thought you were going to say that we should just walk around with that thing sniffer mode all the time.

Love the Black & White!

Big fan of full metal builds on cameras, this might be next in line for my G.A.S

You sir, are the anti-McKinnon. I love it.

Ahh the cinestill with that beautiful sunset hurt my soul

god damn right awesome. this showed up in all of the gamestop videos and this is the vid i needed. thanks.

Haha, as a German I will use Plaubel for the "beer at room temperature" from now. Thank you! Love my Plaubel as well, want to buy the one from my uncle which has still all protection papers and foils. Maybe his W67 as well.

Hi, When I was looking at the KEH web site on 2005 that I was looking for another medium format model, and seen that they had a Plaubel for sale for $295.00 as it said that it was a great shape, and shutters work, and viewfinder clean, so I got it/ When it came via UPS to where I work at a Camera Store in San Francisco that I open the box as it was a Plaubel but a Plaubel from 1934 as it was a Makina II 6x9!!! and yes it is a bit slight heavy but got use to the weight of the camera and the first roll that I shot was on October Pumpkin Festival at Half Moon Bay that shot a roll of Fujicolor 160S as I rated at 100 ISO, and for a camera that is 71 years old that it still held enough to shoot, as it works, and this model was modified to accept a electronic flash shooting, So as photographing the Pumpkins, and also an historical house that the scenes that I got from that model was very surprising that it was Sharp, and Contrasty scenes that I did not need much tweeting in Photoshop. I really love this model, and I also notice that the RF window was getting lighter that it was hard to focus, and I remember on technique tip from a person who comes on Saturdays to repair Film Cameras, as he told me to place a red gel, and place it over the RF window, and he was right, now I am planning to take this baby to Japan to shoot some street scenes, and that this model will shoot 8 shots so I will have to stock up in getting film. Thank You for your video on the Plaubel, and looking forward in seeing your videos, and so that in Medium Format models that I have is Have one of the following: Bronica S2A Outfit - 80mm, 105mm, 135mm, and 50mm All Nikkors Graflex XL Rangefinder with a 80mm Rodenstock 2.8 Zeiss Ikon Ikonta And Plaubel Makina 6x9 Along with my 35mm SLR, and Rangefinders, You videos have given me more of an UP Lift to go out to photograph than stay in shelter place at home, and Scan, and watch Film Noir on Thursdays on the Movies.net Channel. Thank You you have been a big inspiration in going back to Film Photography. amd again Thank You. Oh Yes you might want to go to this web site on my Plaubel Makina II. Thanks.... lommen9.home.xs4all.nl/plaubel/index.html

My god, these shots are sublime!! I've enjoyed this so mmuch.Thanks Jason for all the hard work and effort that goes in these videos. Grtz from belgium.

i keep looking up these 6x7 rangefinders and reeling in horror at the prices.

Bruv, those shots were smooth and that lens is unbelievable!

I love Caleb’s man bags

Despite your faux complaints, the images are outstanding. Love the colours.

"Men, you know what I'm talking about" I do know what you're talking about.

hot take- I love the colours of 800t in daylight- they're obvs not completely accurate etc but particularly skies I think look lovely

I had one and wish I never sold it. Best camera ever made!

Light leaks in the bellows is what has kept me from buying a folding camera

Jason, the collector of multi-thousand dollar 6x7 cameras

A question for you. I think I became a film director because my father gave me a Kodak Retinette 1B for my 13th birthday. From that moment everything became a photograph. My cinema film-making is HUGELY influenced by my stills photography. Would the same connection apply for you, do you think? I see you directing, that's why I ask.

your disdain for Ektar is something of a mystery to me, but I’m glad you’re finally coming around

I love those plants at 4:30! Gorgeous video clips and photos.

Amazing results

That shot is such fire 🔥 @4:45

Really love your videos. Btw you keep me motivated to shoot more photos. Thanks

You may not like it, but I think those CineStill shots are gorgeous. The pale pastels are a vibe for sure.

That SQUARESPACE ad is the first one to convince to actually trying it.

"maybe in 30 years these cars will be vintage and cool." haha! I think that all the time when I have to take a shot and there is not way to get the cars out of the shot.

Speaking of Plaubel Makinas and expired film, I inherited my father’s Plaubel Makina IIIR (the last German version) and discovered there was still a roll of 35mm in one of the film backs (It was mostly a 6x9 camera, but I have a 6x6 and a 35mm back for it as well as 6x9) Anyway, I developed the film and there were a few exposures from a subject I remember him shooting on 6x6 in the mid-1980’s. It was pretty badly fogged as my father was not one to store things properly and I’m sure the camera was baked every summer in the intervening 35 years. I also acquired a Makina 67 because I like 6x7 and the German version never had a 6x7 back. Unfortunately the bellows need to be replaced but I’ll probably do that in the next few months.

Any camera could look great in your hands and eyes! Laguna Beach, so beautiful! You must (an order!) go see the 'Wedge'. Take a longer lens, don't think about going in! They hailed me on megaphone (personal) "You! Stay out the water!" I guess they'd seen me surfing at Laguna!.. Another RF 6x7 Koni-Omega. You can advance film, faster than cocking shutter. All best! Great pix! mostly.

Beautiful light

Sharp sharp lens! I love your subscribe animation at 12:25. Great job.

800 T at sunset actually looked really nice. I wouldn't be upset digitally adding some saturation.

lmaooo when he shakes it to open in the video clip hahaha jesus christ Laguna beach is my favorite place in california tho. And the Plaubel is one of my favorites.

What the fuck are those houses right at the beach, holy shit. Great camera and nice pictures as usual, thanks for the video!

Damn boi. Nearly all of this images are dope. Love them all. Wondefull to see a new video from you. Keep going.

Three 6x7 cameras seems like a lot. I’ll take one!
