I know, we are all here for some good old camera porn, aren't we?
Lo sé, estamos aquí por un poco de porno fotográfico, no?
So let's get that over with
Así que hagámoslo antes de nada
This, is the Mamiya C330
Esta, es la Mamiya C330
There is no doubt this is a very sexy camera, but can it perform?
No hay duda, es una cámara muy sexy, pero rinde?
We took it out yesterday for the first time in a long time
Ayer la sacamos por primera vez en mucho tiempo
we shot two rolls and this is what we got
Disparamos 2 carretes y esto es lo que conseguimos
So my thoughts on the Mamiya C330
Qué pienso sobre la Mamiya C330
The first one is the obvious one, the size and the weight
Lo primero, el tamaño y el peso
This camera is not light. It is very heavy,
No es ligera, es muy pesada,
it is significantly bigger and much heavier than the Rolleiflex I was shooting only a few weeks ago
mucho más grande y pesada que la Rolleiflex que disparé hacer un par de semanas
I'd say that it's even heavier than the Bronica, but the advantage
Diría que es más pesada que la Bronica incluso, pero la ventaja
is that the lenses, because you can change the lenses in this camera
es que los objetivos, porque puedes cambiar objetivos en esta cámara
are much lighter than the Bronica's
son mucho más ligeros que los de la Bronica
Actually, I can fit the 80mm and the 55mm in my back pocket, and that is pretty awesome
De hecho, puede poner el 80mm y el 55mm en mi bolsillo trasero, y eso es increíble
More negatives, I'm starting with the negatives first
Más cosas negativas, empiezo por ahí primero
You can't change the film, once you load film here you are stuck with it
No puedes cambiar el carrete, una vez que cargas la película tienes que acabarla
Unlike the Bronica where you have film backs that you can replace
No como la Bronica donde tienes film backs que puedes cambiar
so you can have one roll for the daylight one roll for night photography
puedes tener un rollo para el día y otro para la noche
one roll for B&W, one roll for color
uno para blanco y negro, otro para color
This is not the case with this camera, you only have space for one roll and that's what you got
No es el caso con esta cámara, solo hay espacio para un rollo
It is a twin lens camera, they are not my favorite
Es un cámara con doble objetivo, no son mis favoritas
They kind of freak me out because I never know what I'm actually capturing
Me vuelven un poco loco porque no sé lo que estoy componiendo con certeza
just as a reminder, you compose through this lens
como recordatorio, compones a través de este objetivo
But the photo is actually taken with this one
pero la foto se saca con esta otra
That has a ton of advantages, like there is no vibration
Esto tiene muchas ventajas, como que no hay vibraciones
these are mirrorless cameras. You can have an ND filter on this one and\ still be able to see here
son cámaras sin espajo. Puedes poner un filtro ND en este y aún así puedes ver a través del otro
I don't know if that makes up for the disadvantages, though
Pero no sé si eso compensa las desventajas
You never know what you are actually composing
Nunca sabes lo que estás componiendo
The composition is gonna be slightly different if you are far away
La composición va a ser ligeramente diferente si estás lejos
If you are really close, and this camera lets you focus really close,
Pero si estás cerca, y esta cámara puede enfocar muy de cerca,
you are never gonna get the same thing on the two lenses
nunca vas a obtener lo mismo en los objetivos
So, I don't know if I get the point of being able to focus so close
No sé si acabo de entender la razón para poder enfocar tan de cerca
I guess this is something that it wouldn't be a big deal for my day-to-day photography
Supongo que no sería un gran problema para la fotografía que hago yo
I could see myself getting used to it, but I prefer SLRs
Puede que me acostumbrase, pero prefiero SLRs
It is a very complicated camera, it has controls and knobs everywhere
Es una cámara muy complicada, tiene controles y ruedas por todos lados
You lock the lens here, so you have to unlock it to change the lens
Bloqueas el objetivo aquí, tienes que desbloquearlo para cambiar la lente
It has another lock here for the shutter.
Este otro es para el disparador
Then you have to cock the shutter on the lens here
Tienes que activar el disparador en el objetivo aquí
It has a lot of controls and sometimes I wasn't able to shoot it and I wasn't sure
Son muchos controles y a veces no fui capaz de disparar y no estaba seguro
about the reason, there are many variables to watch for here
del porqué, hay muchas variables en juego
It's once again something that I could get used to with more usage
Una vez más esto es algo a lo que podría acostumbrarme con más uso
but it is very complicated, much more complicated than the Rolleiflex
pero es muy complicada, mucho más que la Rolleiflex
where you just have a lock for the shutter and that's pretty much it
donde tienes una manilla para bloquear el disparador y ya
Now for the good things, because it has a bunch of advantages
Ahora las cosas buenas, porque tiene muchas
First, it doesn't require batteries, unlike the Bronica
Primero, no usa pilas, no como la Bronica
so that's pretty awesome
Y eso está genial
Second, the finder is gorgeous, it's brighter than my Rolleiflex,
Segundo, el visor es increíble, más brillante que mi Rolleiflex
it's not as bright as the Bronica, but it is very good
no tanto como la Bronica, pero muy bueno
Third, the build quality of this camera, it's amazing
Tercero, la construcción de esta cámara es muy buena
It feels like a rock and you could kill someone with this
Se siente como una roca, y podrías matar a alguien con ella
The image quality that you get with this camera and these lenses
La calidad de imagen que obtienes con esta cámara y estos objetivos
is just outstanding. I was doing a little bit of pixel peeping
es increíble. Estuve comprobando muy de cerca
just because, for the sake of it, to check how good these lenses were, and they are too good
solo por comprobar cuánto de buenos eran estos objetivos, y son demasiado buenos
Again, that's not something that I necessarily look for in a camera
Una vez más, esto no es algo que busque necesariamente en una cámara
I kind of destroy my images in post-processing anyway
Al fin y al cabo destrozo mis imágenes en post-processing
adding a lot of grain and decreasing the detail, because I like my images to look that way
añadiendo mucho grano y reduciendo los detalles, porque las imágenes me gustan más así
but if you're looking for a medium format camera that can produce outstanding, super high definition
pero si estás buscando una cámara que puede producir imágenes increíbles, alta definición
images, this is the camera, these are the lenses, it is very good
esta es la cámara, estos son los objetivos, es muy muy buena
It came with a strap, I think that's pretty optimistic
Vino con una correa, creo que es muy optimista
I don't know if this is the way you want to carry the camera
No sé si esta es la forma en la que quieres llevarla
I had it like this for an hour yesterday morning, and it was fine, but it's not the most comfortable thing
La tuve así una hora ayer por la mañana y bien, pero no fue muy cómodo,
I think that if you're gonna be shooting for longer, 4 to 5 hours
Si vas a disparar durante más tiempo, 4 o 5 horas,
then I would not recommend doing that.
no lo recomendaría
One last thing, you might have noticed that some of the images were blurry
Una última cosa, quizá the hayas fijado en que algunas imágenes salieron borrosas
We lost some frames too. Some of those problems were due to our inexperience with this camera
También perdimos algunas. Estos problemas fueron debidos en parte a nuestra inexperiencia con la cámara
But also I believe that there is something wrong with this lens, with the 80mm
pero creo que algo le pasa a este objetivo, el 80mm
because sometimes there is a delay when you press the shutter and when the actual
a veces hay un retraso entre que disparas y el obturador
shutter goes off, you can feel like there is a 1 to 2 second delay
se abre, es algo como 1 o 2 segundos
I don't think that's a feature of the camera or the lens, so I think there is something wrong with it
No creo que esto sea una característica de la cámara o el objetivo, así que creo que no está bien
We were not expecting that and we were just moving the camera away already, or maybe shaking it a little bit
No lo esperábamos y movíamos la cámara, o a lo mejor temblaba un poco
that's how we got some blurry shots
y así es como llegamos a tener imágenes borrosas
Overall, this is a very nice camera, it was very fun to shoot with
En general, es una cámara muy buena, y divertida
but I think I'm ready to go back to my Bronica
pero creo que estoy listo para volver a mi Bronica
So, what do you think? Do you have one? Have you used one in the past? Are you planning on getting one?
Qué piensas tú? Tienes una? La has usado con anterioridad? Tienes pensado coger una?
