This is fun! I had an FT I got from my grandfather in the early 70'2 . Sold it and used the proceeds to buy an F2. Twenty years ago I put together an FTn setup on EBay because it it such a blast camera to use...

Found an SX50HS camera at a thrift store a short while ago. Had a price of $10 Canadian on it. Looked in mint condition however the battery was dead so no way to tell if it worked or not. But for that price I had to take the chance. Charged the battery once I got home and the camera is in perfect working order. Takes decent photos and video. The best part of this was I had a $10 credit at the store, so basically all I paid for the camera was the $1.15 sales tax! A very informative video, great work!

Terrible video 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

One other thing to mention is, the lenses have built in lens shades, and when pulled out provide you with the DOP scale.

Nice vid how to put on light tho

Impressive, you have taught me things about my machine and I've been using it for years. I'm disappointed it was so short though!

Congratulations, nice job!

Brilliant video, thank you so much!

Genuinely thank you for making this video, it helped a lot!!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I actually just ordered my very first medium format film camera (Mamiya C3) yesterday and I am truly excited to work with it.

The FM was also available in black.

Traduzca lo al español porfavor.

Excellent tutorial, thank you very much ❤

I recently found an Argus c-forty-four in a thrift store. Any idea where i could find a manual of sorts via web? Trying to figure out how to operate it as i have no clue how to use analog cameras. Thanks

thanks mate

what film does this camera use ? i’m a beginner in photograohy and am still learning about cameras and all ^^

For cryjng out loud stop that noise

Very impressive !!!!!!!

Congratulations on the build, nice work.

I still have my Mattel Power Shop. Used the sander and jigsaw features for decades. Survived long after my chemistry set or any other toy. Best and most useful toy ever!😊

Very interesting idea using a smart phone to check shutter speeds!

Bro, you haven't left any link to everything you said you would leave a link to, you probably forgot to do it. We will forgive you.🙂

Thank you sir !! I had just bought this machine and your video genuinely helped soo much with learning how to operate it!! I really appreciate it

Good job and interesting operation to give a second life to old and no more used camera . Thx for the instructions.

Thanks for being here and now.

I've had my C3 for 2 years and this is the only video i saw that explained everything.. Thank you... I can now lock that bar that always falls off in any bag.

which filter should I buy to get colors like Kodak aerochrome ?

Great video Thank you

Thanks for the video man! I have that camera and I found it very helpful

hello, any notes on exposure compensation? will i have to use a tripod and take long exposures and use high iso?

Thanks so much! I've had this camera sat on my shelf for years because I couldn't figure it out - this has been so helpful!

Thanks for making this excellent video tutorial. I have just received the plans and today ordered the sails. Your film, which I have viewed all the way through, is going to be of enormous help. Best wishes Mick

I always knew the M line was more advanced, but I keep finding myself drawn to the Barnack models. I just bought a 1953 iiif without the timer, but with a 5cm Summicron and I have had a blast using it. I told myself I would never cave to the Leica hype, but now I get it

Hey, Loved this informative video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested.

Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video. Very helpful. Very informative. And no nonsense :-) Thanks

Had a Zenith 80 since 1968. Still going strong. Treat these Soviet built cameras properly as per the instructions. ONE thing you never do...DONT TOUCH THE SHUTTER ON THESE CAMERAS,

....and why would I need a sewing machine? To make myself a Ninja Suit, of course!!! 😂 Thank you for this video.....and THANK YOU for your military service too!

Your Canon A-1 has the infamous "Canon Cough" and needs to have the mechanics lubricated in the mirror housing. I had mine fixed with a typical CLA. Just FYI :)

Please tell me , I want more length of stitch no 2., how can I do?

I like this video. Thanks a lot

Belo trabalho, me expirou a fazer um obrigado

Thank you for taking the time to make such an instructive video. I recently bought one in a market in France for about 10 Euros. The reason I purchased it was to use the 50mm lens on my K3 DSLR. However, having seen your video I am going to purchase some LR44 batteries and see if I can fire it up and have a go at film.

Hi Kay, have you shot any photographs with this camera? I've recently picked one up and as 112 film is no longer being produced I'm unsure how to shoot it. Do you know if using 4x5 film sheets would work? I like the larger format postcard images rather than a panoramic 120 effect. Thanks.

The N2020/F-501 was the first AF SLR camera Nikon ever produced. I have both...

Sorry follow-up question: what kind of colours would u get if you don‘t put an Infrared lense in?

Omg i have the exact same! Thank you for this tutorial!!

So I have replaced the battery, but when I press the battery test button the light doesn't turn on. Is it possible that the bulb has gone out? if so is there another way to test the battery?

Very good and helpful video! Question, the rewind is still manual?

This is SO HELPFUL!
