That was a really nice mouthfull of beer before I fired it across the room at the "piss soaked bucket of sand" comment 😂 great video mate, very interesting mechanism too!
I had one of those when I was about 10 - over 50 years ago. Fresh film and correct processing was readily available and I got some good, punchy colours.
Great work with this. The perfect mix of info and much better delivered than the overwhelming majority of videos in the same lane. Many genuine laughs and a quick share to a friend. Really well done.
honestly, that second shot of the forest pillbox was remarkably in focus. when you get the range right its not too shabby. its definitely focused a smidge closer than infinity tho. I'm wondering if those groves in the front element let you adjust the lens closer or farther away or something
Thanks for the video! I see this camera time to time but never even picked it up to have a look. I thought it was crappy piece of old plastic camera. NO CRAP. I want one one now. Thank you.
dude, did I not expect to be chilled to the bone at 8:56...Great video though! Luckily I can't sleep anymore now anyway so I have time to binge the rest of your vids
The production quality, the music, the humour and the unique content, amazing. This fits a nice niche and I hope you make a lot of more of this quality content.
Sorry for coming in late. As far as researchers have discovered, there had been three Purma models. The first was the Purma Sport with folding frame finder; it's not certain if it went into series production. Then came the Purma Special as featured. Finally came the Purma Plus with a metal body, which had a bit of a habit of tarnishing.
Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it. I thought your car interior looked familiar at first until I realised it's the exact same as mine. +1 for the Volvo
When I was in High School, I was sold an old camera that had all kinds of lens adjustments and stuff, but I can't remember the name. So I took a photo class to try my hand at photography but my pictures never seemed to please the teacher, so I just put in the six weeks and passed... Now I take pictures with my phone and do quite well taking landscapes when the bug hits! I would have loved getting into working up a photo lab, but I went into electronics instead, and I have a complete electronics lab at home.
RU-vid had been pestering me to watch this for a while and I'm glad I finally did. As soon as it started playing it was a surprise to see you! I knew you were into photography via few references in Car Throttle videos over the years. I hope there's more to come, particularly of shit old cameras as I'm quite prone to them myself. P.S. Please consider uploading your photos to Flickr too as Instagram only allows people without an account to scroll so far. Plus Flickr doesn't make any claim on your intellectual property :)
I think this is perfect for those 1945 "war is over but it is the end of the world because we invented the atomic bomb" kinda party pictures. Also, plenty of people do abstract photography and I think cameras like these are just perfect for that.
"Not often you come directly underpowerlines like this". Mate, it's time to visit the Netherlands (again). This is quickly turning into one of the best vintage camera review channels out there. More uploads is more better, they are a Joy (...) to watch. And it's got some unique character both in the edit and the edgy humour. You got a winner on your hands. As for the camera, well... It's a work of genious in every single way, but it still produces images worse than a cheap box camera. So it's shit, but I want it. Also FCK 127!
I was given one of these a while ago with a bunch of folding cameras. I couldn't find a single bit of info and could not work out what it was all about. So thanks, I now know what the mutant camera is.
no wayyy, I've got the same camera but never used it - just so happened to stumble upon this video without meaning to and recognised it! Will have to give it a try now
OMG this one missed my feed... fuck I love your videos dude!! You're a legend and make such entertaining content, totally inspiring, I would love to pick your brain one day. but what an awesome camera and such an interesting concept with the shutters. I CANNOT wait for more content, I have clicked alerts now so I won't miss your next one. your photos are incredible dude. please keep it up.
When I read the title of this video, given your sense of humour, I expected it was a video about you clumsily dropping film cameras during your photowalks. I'm glad I was wrong. This was informative and entertaining! Cheers! //Rick
I bought one for next to nothing in a secondhand shop, only because I was fascinated by the design, but it will be a shelf job. The shutter doesn't properly close in one direction anyway! But an intriguing artifact!
Apparently I do in fact, like it when my photos are taken through a "piss soaked bucket of sand", they supposedly make the crossbird in 35mm and I'm trying to find some.
I'm not sure what camera you used for the the shot at 9:47 (looks like 35mm, so could be mju, but that wouldn't be new...) I just wanted to say that it's a great shot! The plane right on the center line is just perfect.
