I found a film photography camera and wanted to see if it worked. I've shot digital for years so this was a fun side-project for me...

Great video! Love those 50s and 60s cameras. The design language, the tactility, the mechanical-ness.. they all feel built to survive nuclear war. The fact that you can pick up a 70 y/o beat up camera, load it up with brand new film and get amazing results will never cease to amaze me. Imagine finding a box of digicams and DSLRs 50 years from now only to have the batteries dead/leaky and the old flash memory unreadable and new sticks nowhere to be found.

That's fantastic, what a cool find! I've been dipping back in to film photography again lately, and it really is a totally different experience. Mostly 35mm stuff, some old Minolta gear, Ricoh, and a weird little 110 camera, I'm about halfway through a roll of that. But a couple weeks ago, I found a "Tower Model 7" fixed focus 120 film box camera, for 7 bucks! It seems to be fully functional, and I'll likely pick up some film and do some messing about soon! What a lovely experience film photography is. Anyways, Great video! I just LOVE the size of that second one! I look forward to seeing more!

That camera sounds fun! I’ve done some more shooting since this video and getting focus right with the pony is tough so I might actually end up using the tiny Bolsey more.

Welcome to your new addiction lol. Film cameras from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s are the most durable and useable ones ever made. 1 have a medium format camera from 1948 I bought on eBay 25 years ago that still works and has never been serviced. It’s literally just a metal box with a simple lens and it takes great pictures. Best $20 I ever spent

Really cool video on this topic! I have my late grandfathers AGFA Silette L from about 1953 resting in my shelf (focus broken at the moment). Its a really nice camera. It has a still working selenium lightmeter and a decoupled rangefinder from Voigtländer. Hope to get it fixed soon. So I can very much relate to the videos sentiment

Reminds me of my late Father-in-Law’s Argus C4 from the 1950s. No light leaks, however one of the shutter speeds is seizing up due to age.

Boy, I have the exact same folding Kodak and the exact same Ihagee Exakta with the waist level viewfinder. You’ve should try to shoot with the Exakta; is a little bit of a nightmare to use it, but is an awesome camera.
@nickroush
@nickroush 3 месяца назад
I wanted to! Love the waist level finders but it has some corrosion that was causing some of the mechanics to bind up.

Oh man, I have one of these and still haven't used it after 8 years. Now I want to. I bought it when I was afraid not to have a light meter. Now I just shoot an Argus C3 and a Zorki 4 or a zed 2. None of them have light meters so it sounds like a fun challenge.

Go for it! I use the sunny 16 rule a lot, rely on my instincts (which aren’t always right), or use an app called lightme. Sunny 16 and lightme haven’t steered me wrong yet… instincts have…

Your results were wonderful. I started shooting film a few years ago and often take a digital and film camera out together. I have a Leica M5 and am always more excited to see the results from it much more than the digital RAWs. I don't know if it's the anticipation or the feeling that' if the image is good that I had more of a roll in it (pun here). Enjoy your film journey and I am sure the cameras are enjoying being out in the light again!
@nickroush
@nickroush 3 месяца назад
Something about waiting to see the results is fun! Delayed gratification isn't one of my strengths so it's fun forcing myself to wait.

Nice photos. Even some of the light leaks came out interesting. I always tape up old cameras in case of light leaks or The plastic toy ones that come with light leaks. Now find a good photo lab to take your film to.

It had some corrosion that was making controls and the focus ring bind up. Lens was pretty hazy as well. It might be recoverable. I'll take another look when I'm out East again.

This is great. I LOVE old cameras and inherited a collection of cameras ranging from old folders to an RB67. The oldest camera was made around 1911 and i cleaned it up and ran a roll of 120 through it using adapters. Turned out great. Dont shy away from the really old ones. I replaced light seals in a few of them. If you really want to use an old camera forget the tape. Replace the seals. If i can do it anyone can. RU-vid university will show you how and you can buy or make the seals. Looking forward to seeing your continued adventures.
@nickroush
@nickroush 3 месяца назад
That’s awesome! The little pony camera doesn’t even have any seals. Just a little tongue and groove in the plastic so gaffer tape is my only option I think… maybe I can find some thin gasket sort of material.
