Willem's car - The fast and the furious, Willem's camera - The slow and the curious.

"Babe wake up, Willem just posted"

[LouderPictures]

Hearing that song when willem is about to start taking pictures always brings a smile to my face

[BraeHunziker]

Red sweaters, 100% organic mechanical tones, and bicep workouts? Yeah, I’m strapped in.

[dr.egonspengler]

Not only good taste in cameras but also in cars? A man of culture.

[DjAfromaniac]

Very happy to find out Willem is a JDM Hotboi

[KontezWRose]

Hey man, that's what the red switch on the back is for, if you cover the red dot it will prevent you from double exposing a frame

[loganpalmer]

me and my rb67 laying down on the bed with our feet crossed watching this

[japancamerahunter]

Ah ok, so this would be why my inbox if full of people asking for RB67's.

Having been through a tough month of depression and not taking many photos (which is quite rare for the usual me), I think I'll pick up my Mamiya 7 tomorrow on the trip to San Diego. Thanks Willem for posting this, your video has always been fun to watch and at the same time inspiring.

Notes on the RB: you literally just turn the back to turn it portrait. No lock like on the RZ. also theres a switch with a red dot on the back winder cover the red dot and you can't double expose

I own this camera and the best thing is that it works fully mechanical, no batteries to worry. With good service they never die.

[TheIronSnail]

“Sorry if that was scary” damn you’re a nice guy lol

[AndreLieberher]

I just remembered it's Wednesday.
Happy Willem day everyone...

[mattnykamp]

important tip from a long time rb67 user - make sure the mirror lockup on the left of lens isn't accidentally activated otherwise you'll get a bunch of blank frames. speaking from experience : (

[HonJazzz]

Hopewell NJ looks great through your lens

Hey Willem, you do know back in the day, the RB was a studio camera...usually on a camera stand, many times on wheels. It wasn't meant for hauling around town. It was used in portrait studios.
That said, back in the day, I would take my boat anchor out for a walk to the beach, loved shooting the piers, the rock jetty, sailboats and the surfers with it.
I would take a half way decent tripod with me sometimes....one that I didn't care if it was messed up by the sand grains or the salt sea air. These days, I buy my tripods cheap at estate sales, and I still haul my boat anchor to the beach...some things never change!
Surfs Up !

[.sit.]

the fact oatmeal boi drives a WRX still blows my mind

[squidseq]

Your use of the RZ is what led me to grabbing an RB, and it’s honestly the best camera I’ve used. Truly a joy to shoot with.

[ThomasBocage]

I have been eagerly awaiting this video, and of course you knocked it out of the park
