Today, I want to discuss my venture into medium format film with the Mamiya RZ67. I have been experimenting with film over the last year, and over the last six months, medium format film. What is medium format film? Well, generally speaking and in the broadest of definitions, its film that covers a larger surface area, giving you a different field of view and quality of compression than that of standard full frame cameras. In other words, the aesthetic is different. Couple that with the fact that this is film we're talking about, and you're going to get a quite different look than you would with a full frame digital camera.
I've noticed that using this camera has forced me to take photos differently than I normally would. This has led to different compositions and shot planning than I have had in the past. In other words, it's led to me experimenting, and experimentation is always good when it comes to creating!
In this video I talk about the camera I've been using - some of its benefits, and some of it's downfalls. I also provide plenty of examples of images taken with it as well as some behind the scenes with the camera. Whether you're interested in learning about the camera or if you just want to see some good photos, take a look!
