Still beautiful. The only thing I ever found odd was the gear knob which seemed put the wrong way. Normally the palm of the hand sits on the roundish part. Having said that it was a very comfortable car and fun to drive with its rear wheel drive.
Thank you so much 🙏, starting out with an a6400 is amazing already! A really amazing camera to work with, I would suggest getting a new lens alongside it as well, anything better than the kit lens 😅
The camera captures a moment, a memory. It doesn’t really matter if it‘s high resolution or perfect steady shot. It‘s about seeking the feeling you had back then. In fact, the older camera just gives you that additional nostalgia.
impressive coloros, mate. I`ve been trying to play around with color-grade for a while and I have same camera and same lens, but nowhere even close to what you have here. Great work, I subscribed right away
That looked great! Any recommendations or links to videos that show how to get that color grade look. I’m trying to learn as well and would like to do the same thing you did in this video
Thank you so muchh 🙏, I mainly learn from Color Grading Central for Premiere Pro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8H2v0PISuZQ.htmlsi=gJ3Tk0mvOXwh3QeM ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RvFCnVRcT3Q.htmlsi=ias3tcjygc62WUSv These are the main videos I watch, but honestly there are a lot of other videos on RU-vid that I watch, so anything else also works 👍
@keepinitezzy Nex-7 kit lens was the 18-55. Nice photos, btw. I still use my Nex-7 as much as possible. The sensor is still beautiful (not in low light) but that still leaves a lot of picture time.
Weird? I'm not French so this isn't a patriotic thing but I have never heard anyone describe the DS and 2CV as anything other than revolutionary and game changing.
It still is the easiest camera to use due to its Tri Nav Dial System ( exposure settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) Unless you are one of those people who feels they need to change their modes all the time which is a pain on this camera as you need to go into the menu.
Ah yes, it is helpful once you hit a specific mode, but I frequently switch between aperture and shutter priority a lot and I agree, having to go to the menu is mildly painful 😅
I still use nothing but my NEX-7 just because of the three dials, I always shoot in Manual Mode so it has been amazing, when I got it I realized how much time I wasted in menus trying to change just one setting, with the NEX-7 I can change anything with a quick movement. Oh, and the Sony A7C II has three dials also, that will be my next camera when I can fit it into my budget because I cannot go back to shuffling through menus anymore.
Swedish Jaguar xj or British VOLVO 164? 1968 first production both, jag and Volvo, so which came first? egg or chicken??? Sure nothing with Mercedes... ZILCH. Absolutely nothing. Maybe, should take a look at granny. wols....
164E-74 war mein erstes Auto. Erinnern Sie sich noch an den B30, ein nahezu endloses Drehmoment. Er wurde von Volvo Penta geliefert, es handelt sich also im Grunde um einen Bootsmotor.
Thankyou so much for your fantastic, informative presetatiion. Truly an elegant car 164e and mine did have the larger, fantastic Safety Bumpers that was used on all models following. I wonder if they had been added, but I very much doubt it, as the car was completley original. I had one the same colour would you believe and the same colour interior. I always say to everybody, it had the most instant heat from its heater. Truly it did. I loved it so much and couldnt stop admiring it. I would drive the Family mad when I parked it outside a cafe, so I could look at it whilst having my meal. I would say to the family, just look at how beautiful that car is. The front was superb. They would get sick of me saying it. It was a superb car. Fantastic views of the Body you have videoed as well. Cheers, John (Australia)
Very cool, the 164 -73 is in my opinion the best looking of the whole series. Dad of a friend of mine had one from new, ice blue metallic/ black interior - a very nice car in period.
In 1996 my parents got a 1969 bordeaux red 164 automatic which they had imported from Munfors, Sweden. The same year we went on holiday near the area the car came from, but on the way in Hamburg we got stuck in heavy traffic and my dad rammed the gearbox in Park while still rolling which resulted in a big clang noise, nothing more, at least at first glance. During our stay the starter desided to kill itself, so we ordered a new one from Germany and it became my first repair job at 12 years of age, yaay. On the way back and already very close to home my dad wanted to be home asap so he floored it for over an hour on the Autobahn, doing the quoted top speed of 180 kph easily, but then the gearbox failed quite dramatically leaving a long trail of oil behind. The broken park-part destroyed the gearbox inside, all the gears were toast. The car was then towed and a specialist converted it to a 4 speed manual. After a few years my parents sold it and it was then fully restored to mint condition. Years later we came across it in a town near us and we made some good conversation with the new owner, remeniscing an so on. That car left a big mark on me, in beauty and elegance, I'll never forget it. Btw, since last month there's a new old Swede on my parents' driveway: a grey 940 Estate 2.0 Turbo with only half a million kms on the clock. After I fixed all the neglected maintenance it drives like a dream, again. Happy days, again!
Very nice video. I purchased a 1974 164E in November 1975 for $3700. It was the car driven by the mother of the dealership’s owner, and had been driven less than 4000 miles. The Volvo advertisement at that time was: A civilized car in an uncivilized world. Referring to the harsh weather condition.
