Contax 645 How-To with Sample Images | Full video | Adventure to Mount Rainier National Park

 

The Contax 645 is the fanciest (and most expensive!) film camera I own. One of my favorite photographers, Wendy Laurel, uses a Contax 645 and I’ve always been in love with the way the photos look. When I finally got my dream camera, my husband, Chris, and I took a trip up to Seattle and Mount Rainier to try out the camera for the first time. You can watch our whole journey on my youtube channel, Cameras & Cats! The video includes a basic how-to and then I share all of my favorite photographs from the trip. I also included behind the scenes footage from my shoots with Seattle models Carolyn Jean and Chloe Rain. Even if photography isn’t your thing, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and listen to Chris’ ridiculous dad jokes. Oh, and you can watch two different squirrel attacks!

I’ll be posting a much more in-depth review soon, so make sure to stay tuned!

I’ve included all of the photos shown in the video at the bottom of the post, as well as a few other favorites I’ve taken with this camera.
