Thanks for showing your C220 and your work. Clearly you love what you’re doing. Good luck.

I like the non-professional character of your video! The 'amature' feel is a plus point. It's charming in a youtube world where every video has perfect audio, lighting and is often sponsored. Hope to see more of your channel soon and definitely am considering buying the Mamiya (either C220 or 330).

Enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for sharing your photos, I bordered between loving some and really liking others. That's a good thing, but they were all great. Thank you so, much. God Bless. Rogeer

not sure about this TLR but on my rolleiflex u can be aware of your surrounding if u use the sportsfinder

[keithwiebe]

With all these cameras you can pre focus and open up the front of viewfinder and look through the back for correct orientation or even get a prism finder if that's what you want.

I also have a Mamiya C220 with several lenses (and a Rolleicord Vb which is much lighter) but I'd never try to use these for Street Photography. I'm too slow with a meterless TLR for Street Photography and it's too hard to compose with the waist-level finder (I also have a very handy prism-finder for the Mamiya) but it's really great for Portraits (there are also very fine Portrait-Lenses p.e. the 4.5/180mm or 6.3/250mm which are not that big). But I mostly do landscape, archititekture and close-ups with the Mamiya TLR. What kind of shoe-mount light-meter are you using in the video ?

Diane Arbus, which looked liked a petite lady, take street photos which the bulky Mamiya C setup. I wonder if street photographers in general would prefer medium format rangefinder, which is lighter ans easier to shoot with.
Mamiya C3 is my daily camera, because I want a relatively compact system that produces bigger negatives than 35mm but doesn't want to commit to large format system, yet. My photography workflow is pretty slow: looking something interesting indoor or outdoor, typically without person. And with a tripod, if necessary. That's not street photography, obviously.

Looked for the link of the light meter, which one is it 😊

You didn't mention the parallax problem with close ups

what is the little device attached to your hot-shoe in these vids?
