VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Look, before you leave a comment…I know, these cameras are expensive. I’m not money bags Nick over here telling you to buy a $9,000 panoramic camera. This is just what 6x17 photography costs. I’m only reporting the facts, mam. AND YES, I KNOW you can make stitched panos with your fancy mirrorless contraption without having to buy a stupid 6x17 camera. AND YES, I KNOW I LOOK A LITTLE LIKE WIL WHEATON. Also Matt Day.
Sorry to fly off the handle like that. It’s getting late and I’m tired and I’ve been listening to myself talk about 6x17 photography for the past 2 days. I’ve had it up to here with me. I shouldn’t take it out on you, my sweet prince. And I say prince not princess because my YouTube viewing audience is 95.9% male, so I’m just playing the odds. Can you believe that percentage? It’s a real sausage fest over here. The ladies decidedly DO NOT need summa dis.
What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. 6x17 cameras.
This 6x17 stuff ain’t cheap, I get it. But it’s not for your average Carhartt-beanie-wearing Portra-400-overexposin’ photographer. That’s what Mamiya 7’s are for. (I love you guys don’t be mad). 6x17 is a unique format that requires unique equipment. It’s meant to be slow and contemplative. 4 frames per roll of 120…that’s the real expense. Nevermind the camera. But here’s the great news: 6x17 offers a unique photography experience unmatched by any other format. It’s just f’ing special…and fun. And you can take THAT to the bank.
I love 6x17 photography. I never tire of it. I want to share it with all you fine folks. I want to show you the world (of 6x17 photography). Shining, shimmering splendid.
Thanks for watching!
