Medium Format Film Point and Shoot (Mamiya 645 AFD Review)

Today I take the Mamiya 645 AFD out for a spin through Yokohama, Japan. I test a few rolls of Kodak Gold 200 and share my thoughts on why I love this camera.

Originally just came here for Japan’s visuals but now I might actually get this camera

[augustosarango]

You inspire me a lot!! Thanks man! Love you!

Great video. Thank you for posting. The easy access to mirror lock-up (just twist the black dial on the side of the camera) and the glowing benefit of having the camera print/provide the exposure settings at the edge of the photo frame is very useful too. Cheers from Canada

Good vibes man you’re the reason I started photography

I have the AFD III. Underrated camera for sure. The images that come out from this camera are super sharp and almost clinical like digital. So I only use it for paid projects like high fashion or product advertisements. The high res scans will blow your mind. For portraits I prefer other medium format cameras.

Love your videos man, I had a great time with the vibe of your channel

[badboy]

quality videos as always, this is beautiful

Let’s gooo
I’m rocking with the 645 1000s rn & wouldn’t mind a switch up 🧐

I enjoy using film cameras with AF these days. Allows me to just enjoy taking photos on film on days when i don't feel like tinkering around too much. Currently on the Nikon F100 which is severely underrated and hopefully stays that way haha.

Thanks for the video, I have a lucky opportunity to buy that camera.

did you ever end up getting the 35mm lens?! if so, would love to hear your experience with it....

[RussellAlboroto]

The Contax 645 is still the GOAT. Check out Archetype Film Emulation. Probably the best out there for digital cameras.

[monsieurgolem]

Is there 35mm eqivalent lens? Or anything under 50mm equivqlent?

[consulatbum]

Great content!

I have been thinking about getting it until people saying it will be impossible to repair or service this machine due to the discontinuation of certain components. Difficult to get something expensive but run the risk of not being able to be repaired 😢

[tortellini]

Thanks for sharing. My 645 AFD stopped firing and says "error 02". Any idea what this could possibly mean? Pro repair shops told me they refuse to service this camera. It seems like such a fun automatic medium format but I feel more comfortable with my RB67 knowing it will always be repairable.

i just need to know what is that shoe model? hahah nice work aswell! greetings from berlin

[raduandreisebastian]

Hey! Are the final photos RAW or edited ? tnx✌

[Shawnraines]

This is heat, I never know when to shoot vertical or horizontally, I try to do both but end up using more vertical shots. I've been looking for a Contax TVs Digital but that Mamiya looks great too. How do you feel about the weight on it?

You didn’t let us hear the loud grinding slow auto focus sounds 😩
