$1000 OF FILM CAMERAS FOR $200!? | Film Camera Thrifting! 

GANG! Subscribe and like for weekly thrift videos and follow me on my Instagram @kingjvpes where I plan to giveaway 1 film camera every month!! 🙏🏽

I recently had a big win as well. Won an auction, about $2000 worth of Pentax gear, lenses, accessories etc for $550 👌🏽

I NEED BROS HAGLING SKILLS - nice finds tho man

Wow! Best $200 you ever spent. Well done (especially on the OMs and the books).

No disrespect, You make some GREAT videos. But, Man, I was about to hate on this video. Then I started watching it and was like, alright. What a GREAT haul. $50.00 bucks at a thrift store sound normal now days. Because ppl are getting wise, and prices are going up.

Loved it! Lusting for the OM4T-what a find!

the way i laughed at "how to haggle like a filipino"

With the vintage manual focus camera bodies, it’s best to check the infinity focus against the split image alignment. Often times the cameras need to be calibrated (generally the issue has something to do with the mirror position). It may be a good idea to bring lenses with different mounts with you for camera testing purposes, in case the body doesn’t come with a lens. The OM4T is a great find! Make sure it does not have battery drain issue. I think the earlier OM4 had this issue and Olympus fixed it on the later models, like the T. Check the focus accuracy though.

LMAO that DU MA caught me off guard lmaooo

That guys said $180 at first for the OM !!! Then he said "I told you $130.." Then you offered him $100...and he took it, WOW !!! lol.

I always enjoy watching your thrift vlogs im a ofw working in kuwait and im starting to learn shooting with film now. Mabuhay sayo lods!!

Last year, I found a black OM-1 in a red bag with a couple of lenses, Sekonic LM, and auto-winder, all for $10 at my local Savers. I don't think the pickers even looked in the bag! I do need to get it CLA'd, but I got really excited nonetheless! I was aware of Olympus, but didn't know much about the OM-1 until after doing some post-purchase research. That's why I yelled at the screen when I saw you find an OM-4T, and for $100!!!

Love the videos, recently got my first film camera, a Pentax K1000 and a few lenses and have been learning film photography.

Ayooo back with the thrifting 🎉 I was wondering when you will release the next thrifting heat!

Watching this is like time travel. Can’t find anything anywhere close to these cameras and price these days at thrift stores - always eBay prices.

During covid, did an online auction and won a lot of photography items. Could see a Minolta light meter, so bid up to that’s worth. When I received the big box in the mail, was slightly bummed out. The Minolta meter was a dud, but carried on opening everything. Hidden in a plastic tub was a mint contax G2 and three lenses. Perfect working condition, lenses were mint. Was a good time!

Guy be like: Yeah Yeah Yeah, fully working, I'm a photographer. Later: I buy them but I don't use them

So freakin' hyped for you regarding that photo collection, Absolute STEAL!

Extremely envious of the photobooks. God. GOD dammit.

WOW $1000 DOLLARS WORTH OF TRASH

Great video! I am now a new subscriber. You caught my attention with your cinematography and the thrift camera content. I stayed when I noticed that you're local to my area and Filipino! (I'm half Filipino.) You had me laughing with your comment about haggling like a Filipino. My mom is a great haggler...I am not :) . Keep up the great content.

Wonderful finds! Is that how you’d shoot expired film? I have an entire box of expired film, what’s the best way to shoot them?? Is it worth keeping?? 😅

We moved from SDG to southern Indiana. Zero, none, no cameras to thrift around here. I'll have to drive up to Indy. The OM- 4TI is a great score.

There’s no way you got $1000 dollars worth of stuff for $200. You spent $150 on just two cameras! Bro the resale ain’t that good. If it’s for you then fine but don’t act like your score is bigger than what it really is. Truth.

man out of all the Film Cameras i bought i fell in love with My minolta x700 and my Yaschica eletcro gx35 RangeFinder Camera the only 2 i really use

09:15 which model chrome bag are you using? looks like a good size, is it a camera bag model? Thanks. Congratulations on your finds, was a pleasure to watch!

The light for the lcd on the 630 causes battery drain, and the shutter stick causes a bad exposure randomly. Both are easy fixes. Cut the wire for the lcd and clean the shutter with alcohol.

Hey man watching from the Philippines, I knew it you have a filipino vibe

What a steal… I’m travelling to LA next month. Does anyone have any recommendations for nice thrift store or brand in Cali? Thanks!

KINDA RANDOM BUT WERE U AND A BUDDY WALKING AROUND SF ON SUNDAY ? MIGHT'VE WALKED PAST YOU IF SO!

I'm so jealous of the Olympus OM4T. Such a steal.

I had one big win once. I got a Leica Noctilux for 20.- Now I did not know there was one amongst the lenses I had bought in a Lot. I wanted to reach out to the guy who sold it to me but he had no idea about cameras. He just bought a huge amount of old stuff, not just cameras, and was selling all of it separately or in smaller Lots.

i dont want to be such a downer but...how many hours you put for that 1000-200=800$ possible profit ?

Thrift store with a $50 dollar camera is stupid! That’s not a thrift store it’s a rip off. I don’t care about the resale value. That’s not the point of a thrift store but that’s what their prices reflect now. Stupid.

BRO $6.99 for the Autoboy!! Geezz what a STEAL😮‍💨

You've inspired me to use my Canon 630. I don't know why I stopped using it.

i had a big win i thin, i bought for 25 euro a box of old lenses and bodys and found a leica r 90mmf2 in good condicion just need to know the value

That Vivitar SLR you passed on is Pentax K-mount, I believe.

I JUST PICKED UP A OM4 OLYMPUS IM SO EXCITED TO GET FAMILIAR WITH IT AND CREATE SOME COOL IMAGES

respect the tawad haha... great finds...

you gotta ditch that apple watch G ... it don't gel with your aesthetic

5x 35mm rolls of AGFA + OM 4T. I thought it was Pentax LX

Can never seem to find thrift stores that actually sell film cameras 😩 Do you prefer flea markets over thrifts stores for film gear?

watch out for the battery expansion! I have two ruined bodies sitting at home.

Bro where u from, I’m tryna travel there and hit those fleas🤣

If that Vivitar is the same as the Cosina Hi-Lite 405 it is actually a very nice camera.

Ohh damn dude I didn't know you were from SJ. I think we met before at one point.

Just spent a bunch of time finding that Chrome sling!!

Really cool finds! Enjoy the new cameras 🤩🙌

How do you guys make money to pay for all these photo exploration trips?

SJ! What thrift stores do you recommend?

Capitol flea market and savers had some good film cameras that so cheap

What camera did you use to vlog this? Crispyyy

You always inspire me to try thrifting! Then I try and it’s not as easy as it seems 😂 I’m new to film photography and still learning. I’m sure that makes the difference! Congrats on the haul…

And this was uploaded on my birthday.

Man I should have hit you up Jonathan! I was living in San Jose for two years for college at SJSU. Just moved back home to Orange county. Looks like you were at berryessa flea market?

Where do you find these camera used market sales?

Once I got a Ricoh GR1s for $2 , Second best Deal was Canon 35mm f/1.4 for 10$.

Wish thrift stores in NYC were like this lol.

Wow! Have not even seen an OMT4 in the wild.

Great find on those Olympus bodies, the Polaroid and books. Reminds me of when I got my OM1 and OM4 from pawn shops in the nineties for great deals, even back then. I would have checked out that other Polaroid Land next to that Kirkland film also. Cape Light, is a well known classic in color photography. You scored big with that Doisneau and the Bressons too. Great to see awesome book finds for unimaginable deals too!

lol did I hear DU MA?? are you Viet?!

1:46 That's how I know him is a Vietnamese :v

I've been searching for the SureShot Autoboy (II) for years at a thrift - can't justify spending 80-100 when I know they're out there! Good find, cheers!

You were lucky on that OM-4T. I bought my OM-4Ti on ebay and paid $500 for it and it is super minty. I love this camera, it is one of my favorites. The spot metering on it is awesome! And yes please make a video on it!

Great job getting the photo books and the Olympus OM4T. Look forward to the next bi - weekly installment. Sadly no such thing as thrift shops where I live.

sirrrrrr did i hear duma in this video=)))))))))))

pagsabi ng kabayan nakaka proud lang haha

What a steal. Inspiring me to give thrifting another shot, I've just never had any luck. Maybe I gotta try different days of the week.

I have a tiny little RC that I love shooting with.. Olympus made great film cameras.. I love watching your thrift videos :).

*Vivitar is such garbage.*

I was gatekeeping the flea market 😔 jk glad you got some good pickups

I have the same 2 OM's. These and my Pentax Spotmatic F are by far my favorite cameras to shoot. I wish I could deals like this where I live.

I am sure you will enjoy your olympus slrs. I was not that keen on olympus until I bought an OM2n with a 50mm zuiko. This is now my favourite 35mm camera - I have at least 1 Nikon Minolta Pentax Contax Canon and a few others besides - keep going with the thrift hauls!

Miss these types of videos so much, thanks King! you dropped this btw 👑✨

did not expect the random twice cameo 😆

Nice finds! I wish I had video of all my craziest finds. I share pictures online sometimes and people have accused me of lying lol

Where did you cop the beanie from

Awesome I did some camera thrifting earlier in the week and I Minolta mx-g with two lines for about $75.

Did you just say thank you "po"?

Let’s gooooo best way to start the weekend

Thrift vids are always a treat! Great finds.

Leica invented 35mm cameras...

What sling bag do you use?

What happened to the om1 that you had?

The book finds are insane!!!! Great video as always my dude.

Sick video i gotta go back out to look for some cameras i never had any luck finding anything good

i need to find some thrift stores 🤣

I bought my om1 for $200 😭

You're getting me excited for the Spring garage sale season...

Loved this!! So fun to see how the general public values film and film cameras vs the internet 😂

where are you thirtfing?

Those canon sure shots take such sick pictures. One of my favorite cameras ever.

OM4Ti is my fav film camera of all time. Use the heck out of it!

Yo keep it up! been loving the vids and making me wanna go out and thrift and shoot again!

Your an assassin what a deal

I love these camera shopping trips, I haven't done any for awhile and I need to get back at it.
