We took the Pentax 67 out in the streets of New York. Had such a good time shooting only Black and White film. That Kodak TMAX is something serious! I hope you all enjoy this one.

The light leak is part of the beauty of film photography.. don't beat yourself over it.. its the soul and authenticity we all love to see.. I actually saw a beauty 16x24 frame on the wall and instantly knew it was a film photo -- gorgeous with that colorful light leak in the picture.. I guess that's dope of the photographer to have brave it out in displaying it and it really worked.. film is authentic...

Loved seeing the 67 out on the street, I used to use it for street shooting with the 45mm lens. There’s a great 3D printed grip which fits on the right hand side of the camera which makes it so much easier to hold all day. Beautiful pics, loved the portrait of the young girl, keep it up! Also tmax 400 looks amazing pushed to 1600, helps with the shutter speed on the big ol pentax

Great images, Mike! Nice job with that Pentax--it's a beast. FWIW it's always best to avoid direct sunlight on the film when loading any 120/220 film (@1:30), I see fogging along the edges in a few of the images (@5:17, 5:22)

@weizhang6979 Ай бұрын

What focusing screen do you have in your Pentax 67? The two common ones I have seen are the center micro prism and gridded matte. For shooting anything with subject off center, such like street photography I think the gridded screen may work better. Little things like that can make a big difference on how much you can enjoy the shoot, I think. I had a plan going to nyc later this month. I thought about going with my Pentax 67. I’m so glad you did it and shared your experience. Thank you! It really helps with my plan. I was thinking bringing the 90mm, 75mm and 55mm, but it maybe more of a challenge if I just bring one lens, either the 75mm or 55mm. My trip just got postponed, I definitely have more time thinking about it now. Mamiya 7 with the 65mm or 43mm maybe interesting, Fujica GW690 can be cool, or shooting 35mm panorama with the Pentax 67 can be fun. So many choices.

Hate to say it but Cinestill BWxx is my favorite b/w film... Clean af and contrasty, great detail and the grain almost disappears... tho I have not shot other stocks to compare side by side. Just loved the results I have achieved with it.

Trust me, I get it. I love BWxx as well. Great film stock

@westonsmith4572 Ай бұрын

Great video. It is very interesting to see you in a city interacting. I do wonder about light leakages that happened when you loaded the camera in full sunlight - leak at left edge of frame at 5:25 of the video? Cheers from Canada

@MikeGrayFilm Ай бұрын

It was because I opened the back while filming was still loaded unfortunately. We got that issue handled thankfully 🙌🏾

@user-vn1er5lz1d Ай бұрын

I liked this. I noticed your light leaks were in different places on each frame. That means it's unlikely to be the camera, the camera would produce the same places each time. Which is good. I have a short film show on KZfaq now, it's a start. Just type my name in if you're interested. It's in Black and white also. Kind regards Jake Everyman.

@MikeGrayFilm Ай бұрын

Thanks a lot man. Yes, luckily the light leaks were from me opening the back prematurely smh lol

@user-vn1er5lz1d Ай бұрын

That's the right way to make a mistake, not break your camera. Btw my favourite film was always Tri X original. There's a story that when Don McCullin heard it was being discontinued he ordered 240 rolls of it . He's the guy that a Nikon F took a bullet for in Vietnam. You can find a picture of that camera on KZfaq. He's in his 80s now and still taking pictures. I hope I live that long and stay that active. Best wishes Jake E.
