I grew up being shot by the Chunkboi Bigshots, and can testify to it's durability. That thing survived being dropped from considerable heights, sandy beaches, and Swedish winters. My mom put it away and forgot about it after she managed to spill a whole can of coke over it, probably 15 years ago. Earlier this year I found it, disassembled it into as many pieces as possible, painstakingly cleaned it, somehow willed all the pieces back together, and now it shoots beautifully. The only "issue" being that my furious scrubbing removed some paint from the lens cover and revealed a glossy coat under the matte top coat.
No danger…had no idea you had a camera channel, spotted a Fuji x100 (I think) in an all the gear video and thought it was maybe for personal stuff…get uploading on here more!
"oh, you shoot basic 35mm film on a 1960s SLR? How quaint and conventional. I exclusively shoot 110 film on a 1998 Action Man. What I create is ART, with the occasional small plastic boot in the corner of it"
for some reason, other people opening up new cameras make me so happy, I always think that if I was them i'd already dropped the camera from excitement
i got so scared when u got to the kyocera samurai cause i just thrifted one for about $15 and have yet to shoot it because of the broken battery door… and the fact that i don’t have any film sounds like it’s worth it though, so i’ll hold onto it, fix the door, and grab some film
If only the pentax metered to at least 800 ISO :( - I am continually tempted to get a MJU II since it can do 3200 iso for my B&W and 800/1600 for Porta 800 or push +1 - but i've stuck by my Olympus XA since it at least lets me pick the aperture.
I've bought a few PC35AF in the year; they both interesting plastics that make them feel solid... both have stop working within a few roles. If you can find it in $20, its worth it, but they appear to be closer to $100 for a good one. The two I bought were mint, so keep that in mind.
That pile of out-of-focus burning trash pics you showed at around 3 mins demonstrated that it takes really nice out-of-focus pics. Hence the 'dream-like' quality of some images. Maybe you should focus on deliberately taking out-of-focus pics. Maybe you already have; the algorithm has sent this to me a year after you posted this vid.
Honestly, the first time I find a RU-vidr that actually shows you cameras in a fun way and not as if it were a university class. You got a new fan Graindead!!!
