Street Photography With My Dream Camera (Rolleiflex 2.8F)

Today I do street photography in Mexico City with my Rolleiflex 2.8F. I’ve wanted this film camera for a long time and I finally got to it.

My gear recommendation for street photography:
=============================
=============================
My photo gear
=============================
My three primary Fujifilm lenses
=============================
=============================
Gear I use to make my videos
=============================

Data, Storage and Misc
=============================

My Social Media
=============================

You will see a lot of black and white film photography shot with my Rolleiflex 2.8F going forward. I just bought 150 rolls of Kodak Tri-X, so prepare yourself for a lot of analog photography.

The Rolleiflex camera is a classic medium format camera that was popular during the mid-20th century. It features a twin-lens reflex design, which means that there are two lenses mounted on the camera, one for taking the picture and the other for viewing the scene. This design allows for precise framing and composition, making it a favorite among professional film photographers.

You are literally the most underrated street photog on youtube! I love your approach to street photography and how you interact with your subjects. Your videos are great, Frederik keep killin it

When I was young (many years ago) this camera was the Rolls Royce of cameras. The resolution was incredible. Very easy to use. If you get a chance the Nikonos underwater camera is also worth a look. Tough but very clear photography. My dad dropped it from a helicopter in Viet Nam from 500 m . He found it and kept shooting.

There's a kindness to your work that many street photographers lack. Excellent work, sir!

Dude, I do not really know how to say it, but I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! I mean, you share your work with us and you always motivate to take pictures! Awesome work

That camera is a joy! When you consider how old the technology is in it, the quality of the images blows your mind! I’m really looking forward to future videos with this incredible and beautiful work of art from Rolleiflex. Thank you

My father was a Photographer, when I was a child he showed me how to use -this was the specific camera. It is extremely easy to use. Congrats 🤔

The photo of the girl doing her eye makeup is insanely good. Great video as always.

I have rewatched this video numerous times simply because it echos the sheer joy I feel with my Rolleiflex TLR’s.

It’s so good to see a channel where the photos you take are actually awesome. There a few channels out there showing off old cameras where the photos they compose are average. Great work and great attitude towards photography and people.

Congrats on getting your dream camera. I just got mine a few weeks ago. A Nikon f3. I've wanted one ever since I was in high school in the late 1980's and met a genuine photojournalist who was shooting a local event with one. It was my opinion then and today that it's one of the most beautiful cameras ever made. There was no way I could afford it back then, but recently I found one at a bargain price and made that dream come true.

oh man sometimes a video comes along that inspires you, this is one of them, thanks for that, keep posting and inspiring

2.8F with the Planar is an amazing camera. The Xenotar model is a bit more rare and performs very well too. I rebuild these along with Hasselblad V series cameras as my primary business. Once you start the addiction of medium format, it is hard too quit. Thanks for the video.

nice, don't dismiss 10:50 - there is something about this one!
Have fun with the Rolleiflex!

more analogue, he’s becoming one of us. Don’t worry too much about exposure, as long as you’re giving it more light not less negative film is very forgiving to exposures being wrong.

Also dang a 2.8f that can’t have been cheap. Haha $3k you even said.

I had a camera just like this one !!Clear photos outstanding ! I still have my wet dark room, haven't used it in years !!

[humbertomorales]

The camera was probably really stealthy back in the day but now its so iconic that it attracts immediate attention. That is actually one of the reasons why I would like to get one: people seem sort of eager to be photographed with it :)

Loved this video man. Your enthusiasm makes it. Like a kid in a sweet shop. It's nice to get your dream camera. You only live once. Enjoy. New subscriber!

It's so much fun to watch you take photos, the excitement and the talent is just incredible

[jackychiu]

Beautiful camera and photos, definitely looking forward to more videos with it!
