I had an EM many years ago (which I sold) and recently bought another to replace it. Despite its limited functionality, I find myself using it more often than either of my (very heavy) F2s. Great EDC/travel camera. Don't let reports of build quality issues put you off - they are (unless abused) excellent little tanks and a great entry point to the fantastic Nikon range of fully compatible lenses. Top tip - if you buy one (like any other camera) have it serviced by a professional before you start. It'll be money well spent.

Does setting the iso actually does anything or no? By example if i got in kodak 200, setting iso to 100 does anything or no?

We did a whole video about the history of the Thornward brand ,and used your amazing video! Someday, we hope to actually own and use a Thornward Dandy. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nYygVUadSNc.html

Great upload. Thanks! ❤

If I put 120 film in the 220 back, do you need to realign the arrow, or change the dot sequence?

Can this camera be used if the light meter is broken?

I have that no longer works. It did just a month ago. I thought it was the battery, but it's not that. Thanks!

I had that common problem of the shutter button cover wearing out. My solution was to use super glue on the edges of a bicycle tube repair patch. Loved the Mamiya U and the Olympus mju II cameras.

What is the name of the cord used to take the footage off the camera?

I have the Ansco Shur Shot (with decorative vertical lines on fthe face of the cameria ~1948?) and there is no glass covering the hole. Not sure if missing or by design, do you know?

Just got an FS1 and an Autorrflex TC for peanuts on eBay. Originally just wanted some Konica lenses and it was cheaper to buy bundles than the lenses buy themselves. Very excited to get into film photography

I just picked up one of these at a local antiques shop. Can’t wait to learn how to use it! Thank you for the tutorial, and I hope all is well with you!

I had that camera from 1956. Loved it. And I took better pictures with it than I do now with digicams. I learned to estimate distances and exposures and I was almost always right.

Just got one of these and having some difficulty with the batteries. It came with two copper colored adaptors and the old owner said I could use LR44 batteries. Got them loaded up but not sure how to tell if the light meter is powering on. The meter jiggles around but not sure if it's actually working. Anyone know how to check if the meter is working? I'm very new to film cameras. It's my first one. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Do you still have this camera? Does it work well for you? Has it given you a lot of problems? Do you use it a lot? I am interested to know if it is a reliable machine or if the electronics fail a lot. Thank you!

Had ine as a kid and I just found it in a old box in the attic

Can I use a px625A battery? Is there a difference between a px625 and a px625A ?

ATG/Canon made this to be the last with interchangeable finder. Then later Nikon copied & last on the F5. While ATG's father never have interchangeable finder, made the best OM-3 (meter/or full mechanical camera) like Pentax LX. A special & limited productions for the pros, years later: ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr (10fps without needing or using Canon's bat)

Thanks for the intro. I am complete noob with this but recently got hang of this. Does it work on with film, if so how do you change the film? I am unable to find a complete user manual elsewhere.

I just bought one of these really cheap with a lens. I am interested in the CCD sensor. I also own several older Nikons: D3, D3s, D4.

Is the only difference to the PS-20 that this one has ISO up to 1600?

Hey, I found this camera in my house, and it seems to be out of battery. should I get a new battery pack, or do i need one of those usb ports? I don’t know much about cameras so sorry for the lack of knowledge.

Much appreciated

Bullshit review.

2:42 Can anyone tell me what the orange 4 and 2 (between ASA and 1) are used for. Thanks.

I just picked up a T60 in excellent condition and I’m very impressed with what it is. Question though… I noticed it does not have any light seals in the back. Is this correct. There is no evidence of foam or glue anywhere. The foam around the film window is in great shape. Overall it seems to be a nice carry around camera and is much lighter than my A-1 or AV-1.

Still one of my favourite digital cameras, in good Knick after way over a decade of use.

Thanks for your video. I’ve just bought one of these cameras and it’s an absolute monster! Like your model, I’ve also got the odd-shaped flash on runners on the on the top. 👍😀

Bought one for 20 bucks, no lights on in the view finder and red light on front not coming on but the camera does seem to manage the shutter speed electronically not sure if user error on my part or if its broken

The hotshoe problem can be easily remedied by deoxidizing the contact surfaces after using a bit of benzene to free up the moving contact points. I find that the most common issue is the winding mechanism becoming corroded and not working. There are two set screws (on atop the other) that allow the winder to be removed. Remove the rubber grip from the winder (it slides off with moderate effort) and give it a soak in your favorite penetrating oil (NOT WD-40) for a few days. let it drain after the soak and reinstall. Clean and lube the winder gears in the camera body while the winder is off. The second (but less important) issue is the difficulty of finding a batter of the correct voltage that has the lifespan of the original Mercury battery. The Zinc-Air batteries are perfect, but make sure to move the upper contact blade away from the battery when the camera is not in use, or the battery will draw down very quickly. An alkaline battery can be used, but the aperature recomendation will be at least a stop up from what it should be.

How do you move the pictures to your phone?

Thanks for the video, i just happened to pick one up as part of a yard sale bundle of three cameras for $30. My goal was to just get another Pentax ME Super body as a back up, but the AZ-1 one is interesting just because it came with a F4.5 70 - 200 lens.

Hi there, how does the AE finder on the finder work with FL lenses?

I have one my grandfather owned during WW2

Hey just getting more seriously into film and am looking for a knowledgeable seller to help me buy a good camera i can get proficient on. do you have any cameras you'd be willing to sell?

Hello! I just got a photura as a gift, could you please send me some photos of the manual? I couldn't find it

Hello - thank you for the video! What kind of XD card should I get ? 512GB maximum but would a type M or H work?

I’m wondering if you ever had any trouble capturing purple in your photos. My e-500 seems to shift them to blue, and I’ve wondered if that was true for all e500s or if mine just has a fault due to an extensive repair early in its life.

I inherited this body plus 3 lenses--can you share what adapter I would need to mount the lenses on a new Canon body? I'm struggling to find the right type!

Hey there! I have the Yashica Dental Eye II and am unable to change the shutter on this, only exposure compensation below. I used 200 ISO and they turned out rather dense and overexposed. Would using a different ISO speed suit this camera better?

I heard you can do double exposures with this, is this true.

Hello sir hope you are still running the channel. I have that adjustable version of 8, 11, and 16

I just bought one today and omg I didn't know that this camera model took the assassination video!! That's sad but really cool!! Can't wait to collect more!!

what film does the camera use?

I have two Olympus E500 camera bodies one with a wide angle and the other with a telephoto lens 99% of the pics I shoot or of live entertainment at night usually with colored stage lights in the background! Using an external flash what setting, f-stop & ISO shutter speed do you reccomend recommend?

On behalf of Camera-wiki : Thanks for publishing your video ! A link to this video was added to the "Vivitar A35 Splash Proof" page on the Camera-wiki

Got a 135 Epoca , still used. I never learned manual photography 😊

Have one of these and having used the previous models of Nikkormat which were not automatic interchangeably with my 1965 Nikon F photomic I must say I never thought of the Nikkormats as consumer grade. The earlier ones had the shutter adjustment on a ring around the lens which required getting used to, but in daily professional use I always regarded them as equivalent. The focusing screens were interchangeable on the F and that did occasionally come into choice of body, but only very occasionally. I’m not saying you are incorrect- I think Nikon thought of it as their consumer grade camera. I’m saying I found it a less expensive, but an equally well manufactured equivalent to the F in every day use. That said I have an EF which was given to me by a maker of exquisite jewellery boxes in return for photographing them with a modern digital camera. I have 2 43-86 zooms and a 28. Both zooms are sharper than any of the early examples of the 43-86 I used back in the early 70s. My meter is still working well and exactly matches a new meter. I didn’t know it had an exposure lock on the self timer. Time to run a roll of film through it. Thanks for the video
