I started my journey into film photography earlier this year. Medium format was quite the adjustment from 35mm since my first medium format camera was the Mamiya rb67. While I still struggle to nail focus at times, sometimes you get a shot you are happy with #photography #filmphotography🎞️ #120film - ThreadSky

Very nice shot ( and light)…

Thank you!!

At times I truly wonder why I continue working with the film cameras, especially when you analyze the cost of just buying the film alone. But then I remember what my first photos were looking like and how I didn’t even know there was a separate film advance until 3 shots in. #filmphotography🎞️ #film

even with these mistakes, being an idiot who didn’t read a manual prior to using a device 20 years older than him, I still love them. More for nostalgic purposes because I was really hype about getting some of these photos, thinking they were single exposures and now I just laugh #filmphotography🎞️

I recently realized that I love how it completely disrupts my flow in comparison to digital. It makes me slow down and be really intentional with framing and focus and it makes me truly remember the moment. I don’t get that with digital anymore. #filmphotography🎞️ made things fun again! #photography

What are you doing to meter? I use an app for now but I’m not all the way satisfied with the experience.

I am using an app as well. It works well for the most part but there have been a handful of situations where it has let me down. I just always hate the idea of such a boring purchase haha

It does a good job reading the light but it’s just slow and sometimes I think I lose the moment

I think everyone who first encounters an RB67 does this

“Oh so this is the advance lever, got it!”

*Shoots 10 frames onto the same piece of film*

They made it impossible on later ones but they could’ve just made it work like every other 120 SLR ever…

Hahaha well in that case I don’t feel as bad! But if I had just taken the time to read the manual or even watch a YouTube video it would have saved me the trouble. I am happy giving myself the thought that the best photo I have ever taken was the middle frame of an accidental triple exposure haha
