Shooting with the Mamiya 645 Pro - First Impressions

The Mamiya 645 Pro is a super fun medium format camera to use that takes amazing photos. I take this camera out for the first time in Downtown Toronto and caught some nice photos with it. Overall, this camera is super fun to use although can be a little awkward to hold. I can't wait to start making more photos with this camera!

All images developed and scanned by me using the Epson V550 and Negative Lab Pro.

Also shout out to my sister for helping me record this video. :)

I am really enjoying and inspired from your perspective recently. I think you’re already a artist. I will keep watching the works here from Korea.

Love the shot inside the restaurant, cool to see you pick up a mamiya 645!

[JujuBerry]

Picking one of these up very soon. Thanks! I love your images!

Great videos and photos! i live close to Amsterdam since 2013 digital with Nikon most D700 now. Recognized the building (Brookfield place) 20 years ago also took a photo of it with 30 dollar olympus mju ii film camera. That was a super holiday grtz

Hi there Jaycie! I loved those beautiful photos 😍 I have the opportunity to get one of these at a good price. A year later, are you still happy with it? do you still recommend it?

[Bonsees]

Nice pics & vid, Jaycie! Sad to hear you sold your TLR, but looking forward to what you’ll do with this one for sure 😆

Great video! The weather is starting to warm up. Cant wait to see what else you have planned

If you want to shoot long exposures without holding the button, switch the exposure wheel to B, then also switch the shutter button to self-timer. Now when you press the shutter you can let go and it will remain open until you press again. This can also be done with the remote shutter cable. It is also known as T mode.

I have the 1000s and love it. My favorite two lenses are the 75-150 and the 55-110 as long as you don't need a fast lens.

Great video! I just picked up a 645 Pro TL and I’ve been testing it out. What setting do you find yourself shooting on the most? I think I’ve been keeping my prism on the middle auto setting, too

As an alternative for the original (or replacement) strap lugs, you may want to look into straps that attach to something that goes into the tripod mount socket. There are tons of options for this and it can be both very affordable and comfortable.

Hello!
I have a Mamiya 645 Pro as well and I'm having a hard time finding straps/lugs for it... Can you recommend some straps/lugs thats gonna fit my 645 Pro? Thanks!

I also really like using the Kodak Portra 400. I prefer to overexpose the film at ISO 200. How do you expose this film?

[nazahamed]

you really nailed that shot inside the cafe. planning to replace my broken bronica and my 1st option was contax 645 but that staggering price tag gonna burn my account to the ground 😂 its either this or the pentax 645n. presumably pentax 645n is a tad smaller than mamiya?

[rbivproductions]

Great video! Just one thing, you can get the fungus off of small and medium format lens components by soaking them in hydrogen peroxide.

[Katiedoan]

I love these shots!! 🥰 Just subbed! Also, what strap are you using?

[rolle]

Great shots! Really love the first one of the ice skater :) How do you digitize the negatives? I used to shoot more medium format but ever since my lab guy’s noritsu scanner broke I don’t shoot as much. Love the medium format look and square format :)

That light leak at 1:47 actually looks cool af. The 645 acc looks beautiful asf idk why ppl call it an ugly camcorder, , ,

[Niteliter]

7:24, that red dot is Shutter button LOCK so you cant take accidental pictures, same as on my Mamiya 645 1000s.
