This channel is all things film and vintage digital photography.
So come along on my journey as I try new cameras and film stocks. And i get to show you my take on many photography related topics. (using all types of cameras such as - Nikon Canon Sony Kyocera Olympus Pentax Fuji and more)
I really want this channel to be an interchange of ideas and knoledge. so please stop by and leave a comment and let me know your experience.
Im based in Melbourne Australia and i use Walkens film and Hillvale film to source and scan my 35mm and 120 film.
im gonna purchase the 210 wide in 2 days for $80 Canadian if i really really like how the film comes out im gonna go and buy a lomography instant wide in like a month i like the nostalgic look of the lomography but the highlights in the 210 instax wide is superb, but then again i have seen really really nice results with the lomography instant wide, and you have multiple exposure with bulb mode and even the option to turn off flash which is super nice too, its gonna be my first time shooting instax i have already bought 100 instax wide shots im excited cant wait
i just wanna add there is a converter kit that costs like $60 Canadian that will convert your instax 210 wide into a instax square film camera as well, and all you have to do is replace 2 little hooks, and you can load in instant Square or Instant wide, without chaning anything, super cool and its better then buying a new camera as most square instant cameras would cost you quite a lot too
Love this video with all your opinions! I recently shot this film in 120 on my IG account. I’ve heard the film stock was recently changed, but it still has great contrast and small grain for a 400 film. That Konica half frame camera is very cool. I love clamshell pocket film cameras like the Olympus XA2 and 1 which I have. The Konica camera is a little expensive now - going for $200+ on eBay. Still watching…
This camera is good for forecast days outside and with flashes in studio. Then you bring lot of details in photoshop to retouch for hours amazing skin details 😂😂😂
If you want to buy expensive amazing 100mp Hasselblad camera but you don’t have money and you are broke but you want to create good quality pictures and you want to feel pain then go with Sigma and enjoy your miserable life with this amazing camera 😂😂😂
thanks for this fun energetic video! love my e-500. also very happy with the 35 3.5 lens :) also tried the e-400, and while i love its form factor and the photos it takes are great too, the e-500 just has this extra sharpness and surpasses it.
Thank you for sharing this. The ending was beautiful with your shots and the music. The shot of the rose and the grain within are both delightful. I’m happy to see older digital cameras get some love; still have my GR from 2014 and will go shooting with it again on my next trip.
I still have mine that I bought new many years ago. Fun to take out once in a while and shoot with rather than using one of my newer cameras. It makes some nice images considering its tiny size.
It needs light, the right kind of light, you need to protect magentas and yellows and highlights, (so underexpose) its very beautiful with anything nature, but I've also done street and travel photography. Post is alot of work, but part of the process, and it comes near a Nikon D850-like image when you nail it. After 5 years, I know how it operates and what to expect from it, I also use a magnifying tool so I can focus in bright sunlight .. It's a tool-ish camera :-) But it makes the best nature close images I've ever seen ... it does have this tendency to mess up white balance, greenish or yellow overcast (but you can fix that easily) beautiful transition in color, also in black and white,,leica like it's better than the DP1 Merrill , haven't owned the 3... most people would rather use the Quattro series (I would love to have the Merrill 1 DSRL which has the same sensor, but hope to have one day the new APS-C or APS-H Quattro version with some nice Sigma Art lenses) - A nice alternative (in a way) would be the Canon 5DSr (color+resolution+workflow) or the Nikon D850 ... but then they are not pocketable :-)

Awesome video man! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your thoughts and I have to say I have to agree with your points. I go back and forth with camera systems as you know, including Fuji X, and I agree that I spend a lot of time looking at the Fuji settings before I shoot. Also agree about the shutter delay and the full frame look. It is real. It may not bother some people but like you said I get tired of the APS-C look at times. That said, I might take a Fuji camera with me on my next trip! 😂 You know I'm a bit of an oddball but honestly it's not for me. I might just do it for the people who've been asking me for a Fuji X video. But great content my man, as always! Keep it up! 😎📷👍
Yes! Thank you! I totally agree… Full frame is something special. It’s a definite look. But. If you want nature and landscape, than Olympus is your best choice 👌 that’s why I run with the 6D and an Olympus e500
i gotta say X100 the first was the camera that got me really into photography back in 2012, when i just bored with my canon dslr. Had it for 6 years! then i got budget to try more cameras ended up with Leicas and Sigma Fp. In between that i bought many fujis just because i want to have that experience again with x100. Xt3, xe4, xs10, xe4 again, and xt5 is what ended it all. Found out, i just dont really like the film simulations most of them really not suitable with my taste, and with the modern specs i just dont like that i have to use the film sims just so i dont get the fomo lol. And the second is the size of their cameras, they’re apsc, and somehow its too big, I used mft also their size is just justified when so many fullframe sensors camera can get smaller. And now with this issue with supplies with their x100vi series is what finally ended my trust with them.
I know you said this was for you, but I watched it. What you gonna do about it? Lol but really what a neat look into how we battle our inner G.A.S. Love it!
@@KaptainKerl you’re not wrong man. Even a disposable camera with a flash will net you memorable images for under $100…. Very clever marketing to get people to spend $2k+ to get a film look 🤣🤣
I had the X100S for a trip... I loved it, but sold it because it was just a glorified point and shoot with the wrong focal length for me. Now a GFX... I may be looking into those.
@@ChrisBrogan thanks a bunch for commenting and enjoying 🙏 I put all these little references and objects in the video to see if it might illicit a response or nostalgia….. the way I see it is that if nerdy camera people are watching my videos, than chances are they might also be interested in old toys/movies/candy/ETC 99 times out of 100 it goes not noticed…. But when I see a comment like yours, it makes my day 🙏 🎉🎉
Great video! Finding the camera that suits you the best is an adventure. I always gravitated to cameras that have a unique look and maybe not the latest or greatest. nut always looking for image quality and lens availability!
The cameras I have and use on a reg basis. Pentax K-r, Pentax Mx-1, Pentax Q, Pentax X-5, Kodak Z740 and other digicams. Had a Pentax KP, but the SD reader died, but have a variety of zoom lens and primes. ( K mount )
Nice set up man 🙏 Pentax gear is amazing. Special mention for the Pentax Q 💪 was my first video I ever made. Love that camera. Especially the first gen that has the magnesium body. Hands down the most fun camera I’ve ever used. The MX1 is also a legend. I made a video entitled “secret camera” which looks at a digital Espio camera… very very cool camera. Check it out if you haven’t already 👏👏 Thanks for sharing and being such an icon of the photographer world 💪💪
As a Fuji User I agree. Fuji do have wonderful cameras but the hype behind them has gone nuts! Before the X series of cameras were put out to market the cameras they produced were pretty dire and they have come a long way in a short space of time. I have a X-T2 and it has started to misbehave and i fear it's not long for this world. Will I get another fuji ? Probably not. I just want a small, full frame simple camera that Is simple to operate. I am one of those people who, when given a choice, goes into panic mode and I can't decide what to do. Take car parks for example. If there is a choice of parking spaces, I drive round panicking about which one to drive into. I blame my dad, he was the same. So i need a full frame fixed lens camera without loads of dials and switches......So the Leica Q3 it is then, perfect except for the price!!!!!!!
@@andytheghosthunter yeah you pretty much summed it up nicely. Small full frame 🤔 I’d suggest the Sony R1 but I’m sure about the reliability of them. Sigma FP maybe? But Leica would be amazing 🤩
@@shutterslaps4938 Leica would be the shit! The Sigma FP is a contender but I would go for a Sony A7S iii with a 35mm f1.4 manual focus lens. Keep dreaming eh!
if we want to get cameras back to where they used to be i think there has to be some steps along the way. they cant reasonably be expected to go from zero to top tier film camera in one step. i think its a case of them measuring what they can feasibly achieve against where they ultimately want to end up. I was slightly disappointed at first but ive come round. i think it makes total sense and they should have every film enthusiasts hat tipped in their direction.
@@jmcgonnell yeah that’s a fair point. And yeah I’m slowly warming up to the Pentax 17. Got to have a play around with one a few days ago… wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be….. but not for me.
Camera Dundee sits in the desert and sells his Fujifilm 👍🏻! Absolutely right! 6D is a good choice because nobody else ☺️ wants the chunk. Buy when cheap! But! I am unofficially self-authorised to make the following statement for Leica: You're a Leica guy: few buttons with lots of fun 🤭. Greetings from Lederhosenland ✌🏻
@@christians.9058 I’ve never been afraid of the “chunky” ones 😉 Hmm Leica you say 🤔 I might need to look into that 👏 Funny story, the guy I bought the 6D from said he used it to take photos of natives in the desert. Your concept of Australia isn’t far from the truth 🤣🤣
@@unbroken1010 it destroys the 5D classic in every way except for those 12mp tones that the 5D famously has. But yeah, the 6D is like an updated 5D with lighter colours.
