Canon EOS 5-- Fuji Acros 11- -Photographing swans- -Mini review of the Canon EOS 5 35mm SLR camera 

Thanks James, 510 Pyro is a great developer,

When I used the tele zoom the camera was on a tripod, thanks

Cheers Mick

Thanks so glad you found it helpful, the EOS 5 is a bargain for what it can do, it’s stood the test of time and that says a lot about how it’s built,

Glad you enjoyed the vid

Thanks

Thank you

Your welcome

thanks

There a great camera

Lovely place , can get a little to busy at times

I used to own lots of L glass , sadly over the years they have been sold on , I am after the 70 to 200L if one comes up for sale at a decent price, thanks

They are beautiful

Yea it’s not perfect but fir a few quid remarkable quality, I dint know you could lock up the mirror, thanks

Try these two ways as a start, Acros 100iso 1:100 7:45 20c or Fuji Acros semi-stand 100iso 1 min continues agitation, ONE inversion at 10 mins till end time 15.30 20c

Yes all those options just to take a picture lol, I think gear is important, however, it does not make a person a great photographer, just helps on the way as one progresses, the Automat is a Wonderfully simple camera, near perfect in some ways, mine needed new bellows, which it has now and I love to go out with it, it inspires me to take pictures and that’s why gear is important

@@martinhensonphotography so true about the mamiya sixes. I got one in mint condition with hood and filter and case as the dam thing has no strap lugs. It's my go to camera in pocket size 120 rangefinder cameras. I ended up with 6 others which I'm restoring and will fit new bellows and sell on. I managed to get the really old version with the waist level finder in which I need to clean up. I'm lucky in finding a Japan seller that sources them for me with gummed up shutters. Only problem I have is the copal-mx shutter which is fine at all speeds except 5th and 10th which act like 100th sec. I tried adjustment but it still won't work. Back in the day they would just put a new escapement in but we don't have that luxury today. I'm amazed they keep working which is more than can be said for modern digital which are landfill in a year. I was given a canon 5 d mark 1 in Canada a few years back. It was $5000 when new. It would not turn on. I sent it to canon for repair. It came back with a message that they only hold the parts for 5 years and they can not repair it. It was only just over 5 years old. I still use the two versions of the canon f1 and they work beautifully.

@@petercooper9054 I think we have not to turn our backs on technology, without it our films cameras would still be archaic in construction and technical ability, not just the bodies also the glass, however, the problem today day is technology as moved to a level and taken so much away from the photographer and the art of making picture's, I do embrace it but to a point were it becomes intrusive and starts to think for me rather than the other way around, that's why I love the old cameras, makes you work to get the picture

@@martinhensonphotography so true what you say. Getting back to basics is good. Most people I talk to who are interested in photography have no idea about speeds and apertures and the relationship they have. I finally bit the bullet today and moved up to 5x7 format with a Beautiful linhof technika complete with two lenses wide angle adapter and reducing back to 4x5 and dark slides. Now this camera is going to slow me down in every way! One day I'll get time to start a channel on RU-vid.

If I use my Nikon scanner its at 4000dpi, the Epson v850 at 3500dpi
