O man. So expensive. But looks really nice. Maybe someday. I have Mamiya C330. And I love it. I guess this one is crazy good.

great video Samson! The curtain also protects the film when switching lens!!

Got one 2 years ago when they were only $2k Body only. Never see them go down in price.

Your camera man needs to clean the sensor, those dust splotches are driving me crazy! Regardless, pretty good video!

I bought one of these from Park Cameras in Burgess Hill earlier this year. It was in mint condition and had apprently just come back from having been CLAd and fixed. However it turned out the camera also had a problem with the on/off switch; it wouldn't turn off, which meant it would take pictures OK but if you left it wound on, it would fire in your bag. I got my money back but asked if it were still possible to fix as I really wanted to own it as they are wonderful cameras. Sadly however, the problem is an electrical fault on the motherboard and it is now beyond repair. If I had not discovered this problem before the warranty expired, I would now be left with something close to a £3000 paperweight (OK so it was fine to use and so it would not have been useless but the isse highlights the very big risk with these older electrical analogue cameras).

Just found your channel dude. Good stuff! Where are you based?

Great vid ! By the way, where did you find Neopan 400 in 120 ??? Even expired, I'll take it :)

It would’ve been interesting to see a closer shot of the sun bathing lady with the closed eyes

He says the built-in light meters is accurate, so why are all of his B&W shots over-exposed by 1 to 2 stops, and most color at least 1 stop?
