Reviewing Your Film Camera Collections 

This is like a speed run of film RU-vidr driving up camera prices on eBay

That Kodak attachment to the Nikon has a crazy history with it. Started at 36,000 doll hairs and Nasa used it. Def a hidden gem in this video.

Baxter's appereances: - 16:12 Sorry pals, Cheers

Sad bc Jason didn't roast me and my collection of handmade cameras fashioned out of tin boxes and duct tape.

That was interesting, a cool way to discover many types of cameras! Shame I missed your post on Insta, I've got some unusual cameras I could have shown :) Maybe an episode 2 at some point?

12:38 That's a Voigtländer Vitessa. Pretty interesting design, not like any other camera I know. The "erect shutter button" actually winds the film when you press is. It can also be retracted when not in use, but you have to be gentle with it.

My favourite part of this video is all of these cameras were shot on a digital!

this is the most genuinely nice video of jason complimenting on other's cameras and collections, but i love it everytime he sees a really crap camera the disappointment in his voice or empathetic response.

Thanks for the feature Jason. The second cabinet with all the folders were ones I collected when I was younger before I shot Film again. Believe it or not I shoot with the ones in the left pretty regularly. I am a fickle mistress lol it depends on my mood but my favorite to shoot with is the Nikon F.

Thank you for reviewing my cameras! 14:47 !

@that guy who got points taken away for the colour mismatched back on the 500. You get at least as many points back from me, I absolutely dig stuff like that..

Would be cool if you did a part 2 of the remaining entries!

seeing these 'big' collections has made me realise how addicted to film cameras i really am.. i needed this

Seeing this, I guess I'm the only poor guy in the analog community

That Kodak/Nikon DCS has a fucking sick history. Essentially, they're the very first consumer digital cameras. The first one is an F3 with pretty much a PC attached to save images, the others are self-contained and based on the N80, N90, and F5

Favorite film photography channel right now. Good stuff Jason

"I want a Nikonos-V but I'm never under water enough" - I literally said this to myself this week while browsing ebay for one Nikonos V

Sad I missed the submission, hopefully you do this kind of video again!

When I saw the fresh post from grainydays I was so thankful. I guess I am not so bad after all having what I do. Nice, interesting collections. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Jason, it's nice to see other peoples collections!

The LV Contax makes me giggle because it's pretty much my Yashica FX-D quartz. And I'm about to re-skin it aswell... but not as LV 😂❤👍

Love this video, do more of them! I wish I would have submitted my collection, but honestly I see there where some that made me jealous too!

Don't dismiss the nikonos as an underwater camera. Truly phenomenal design, absolute tanks, and really lovely intuitive controls. The lenses are amazing too. I use it as my daily driver and it gives me lovely images. Would recommend to anyone!

Saw my name in the email list and got excited! Would be cool to see a part 2 with the remaining submissions.

I understand everybody flexing with their $$$$$ gear BUT honestly it’s more entertaining and helpful to see the stuff people actually like to use. Like what if you wanna take some film photos in inclement weather or on a camping or mountain biking trip?

Hey, if you are tempted by the Nikonos V you should pick one up. The 35mm lens is the most contrasty and saturated lens I’ve ever used, probably to compensate for things being more muted underwater.

My fd and I we traveled to Kyoto 8 years ago. My fd and I went to a local market and we found a nice Minolta X700. It is not expensive even on E-bay, but my friend manage to buy it for 500 yen. It got some issues but can still function normally, we used that camera for a few years and took some good images with it. Even though now we both have better cameras, that Minolta X700 is always special to us

I bought a brownie. It's my main (and only) medium format camera. Underrated for the price you can find them at.

12:28 Super D... mmm nice

You're so right about the Kodak Brownie. A guy in work found out that I liked film cameras and came in with one the next day in an original canvas bag and just handed it over to me.

@12.40 the erect rod is actually the film advance. It's a voigtlander vitessa and if you press it slowly, it'll stay down lol

It's interesting how most of the cameras that people end up keeping are in excellent cosmetic condition, unlike some of the scrap metal that come up on ebay.

Ahh I should've sent mine, got an Instax wide with the lens ripped out, 3d printed adapter and a mamiya press lens on it

Honestly I was probably the most excited to see that Mamiya 35mm SLR. My DSX 1000B says hi.

baxter in the end was like "you done? lets get some sleep now!!"

No love for the Olympus Pen ft or the Pen EES at 5:00 and 5:10 ? Shoot some half frame Jason Especially if you’re truly unhappy with the cost of film.

If I’m not mistaken, the Kodak “nameless” camera towards the beginning of the video is the Kodak Cameo. I had one years ago.

Thanks Jason....☺️

Ayy yeah!! Here we go!! 🤞🏼

*refreshed* i always look forward to your vids. You seem to remain real in a world of fakes. I found you shortly after picking up film and you embody everything that drew me to the hobby. idk if there's an echo in her but i always look forward to your vids

I was surprised (and happy) to see so many XA's in the pictures. And not one Fujifilm GF670!

12:24 Zeiss Ikon Icarex TM btw ... Nice shit

12:54 thats literally my dream collection of cameras; contax TVS, rollei 35, pentax 6x7, leica m6, nishika n8000 and the mamiya rb67

Loving the commentary man, you should do another one. Totally missed the insta post to send you a photo.

My first digital camera experience was with a Nikon/Kodak DCS200. As a 15 year old work experience kid it was a total trip being allowed to use AU$12K’s worth of gear. Didn’t even mind I only had towels to shoot for a department store catalogue 😅 would love one for the collection but finding a working one would be a struggle.

Well, I missed your post on Instagram, so no pictures of my collection, but I have too many, that's for sure. I'm keeping all of them though. The one I have shot with the most - my Polaroid Spectra ProCam (not counting my good old Minolta AL-F, that I learned to shoot with back in the 80's). The ones I'll be shooting with the most in the future - Leica M5, Leica CL (with the 40mm Summicron-C lens), Canon T90 and Mamiya 645 Pro - at least I hope so.

Loved this

12:24 Icarex 35 TM is a Zeiss camera from beginning seventies, 35mm SLR, TM for thread mount 42mm, there was also a model BM for Zeiss bayonet mount. It was the poor mans Nikon F

Glad to hear that my Minolta SR-T 101 that was my grandfather's will probably outlast us all.

My film camera collection (in order of age oldest to newest): Pentax Spotmatic (1969/1970), Nikon F (1971), Nikkormat FT2 (1975), Nikon FM (1980), Nikon FG (1984), Olympus OM-10 (mid-1980's). Also up in my attic but non-operating: a very old Brownie box camera in (I think) 620 roll film format, and an old Polaroid (I think model 450) from pre-SX 70 days with the bellows lens. All the 35mm film SLR's very good/excellent condition and good shooters. Two film cameras I wish I still had: Kodak X-15 Instamatic because it was my very first camera, and a Kodak 'disc' camera just because it was such a flop on the market; they both would be a 'shelf sitters' now because 126 and disc film no longer available.

I had an argus c4 rangefinder camera. It was so old, but it was a great sunny 16 camera.

Shocked to find I was in this! Made my day

That's my collection @5:14. The cool camera is called a Snappasaurus. Kids 35mm camera. The other you questioned is a the Canon Dial 35. a half frame camera

Those Kodak DCS cameras were a sight to behold ... you had to shoot a fisheye lens on them to get "normal" wide because the sensors were so small. 1.5 megapixels or something? Anyway, time to sell my film cameras for those megapickles!

12:34 Oh yes, PENTACON six TL for one second :)

Next time I'm submitting a pic as well: - 2 compacts (el cheap'o manual Konica Auto S3 + automagic Contax T2 for portability) - 2 small format ILC's (main rangefinder Minolta CLE + SLR Pentax LX for telephotos and shifting) - 2x medium format (rangefinder Mamiya 6 for portability + SLR Bronica S2a for portraits) - 2x wide aspect ratio (rotating Widelux F6B for the unique 4-point perspective + rangefinder Fujiflm TX1 for a more cinematic style) - 1 or 2 exotic outliers (submersible Nikonos V for sh*tstorms + someday also a 4x5** converted Polaroid 900 for those kinky times with my lady) ** correction - Nikon S3 with 60-80 years old lens designs should be exotic enough, so I'm tossing the idea of 4x5 (peel apart isn't going to happen anyway, boo hoo)

Hi Jason! thanks for mentioning our podcast. Now, that erect thing at 12:38 is the advance lever/mechanism, very convenient isn't it? haha say hi to Baxter! Happy Thanksgiving.

Loved this. Niche comedy!

My collection didn't make it to the video but still a cool review ! I really enjoyed watching all those cameras !

That was fun! Like a applicants for a reality show about Cameraoholics...

yes!! hassy is the best looking one!!

You and analogue resurgence both referencing predator in a video you both dropped within hours of each other is hilarious

Yup that ae1 will always be my baby 🤍🤍

*Icarex 35 comes up Me: I love that camera! Jason: Never heard of it. Me: :(

Very entertaining! I missed the request for submissions but I am rather 35mm format heavy.

Oh damn, how did I miss that call out!

In the last year I sold my SX70, C330 (and lenses), my Mamiya m645, my Bessa R and M39 lenses (though I just found two Russian lenses), my Leica Minilux and Canon QL17 and a huge stash of Type 55 and Tri X for film pack (as well as assorted 120, 220 and 35mm film) - I still have a 4x5 field camera and my father's Nikon FM3A and my F4 and since watching this channel, I really want to buy a 6x7, either Texa Leica or RB67 - it's madness that I'm pouring over Ebay these days

YES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO ANOTHER VIDEO TO REWATCH 26 TIMES

I like collection at 8:07. Olympus film and MFT, Pentax, Bronica, Fujifilm.4x5.

yaay another video, iam happy

Outstanding video

jason you should do a live stream where you and calleb just sit and go through all the cameras.

7:23 You could be right, I have never used either of the box cameras lmao they just sit on a shelf

‘And literally just told them…wood’ 🤣🤣

the "holy shit dude", nah bro it's just a normal NikonGang house, you have to own every F series just to be part of the gang

I bought a brownie today and personally I think I took the best shot on it in history hahaha

ngl i would watch this type of video for ~2 hours 😅

there's something endlessly funny about the worst pictures of the best cameras

Oh sick! I made it at 9:40! Probably shouldn't have emailed like I was at work...

like the 2nd tab he got open.

Daaamn dude, that's cool. Yea, its Australian salt water Croc skin, fake sadly. I also moded the sonar for 600 film The rollei is a beast, 2 kilos of ASMR camera-gasm. Great way to bring the community together!

U should definitely make a grainydays subreddit that u could just review the top voted posts.

I have a minolta srt100x it's not a tank it's an underground bunker. It's impossible to break and it takes very good photos !

"How many film cameras are too many" the guy had like 10, me say here with 70 😂😂

Okay is there a video with the interaction at 15:04 anywhere? I've seen clips from it in two videos now

“Wood” 😂🤘🏽

Jealous that I missed this. I would have been the only one to have also included an Ihagee VXII and a Minox B.

The X-700 is such a solid camera.

Kind of surprised there weren't more Nikon SPs, Minolta V3s (or similar), etc and so many Leicas with how such a large percentage of people cry about being broke or in debt. My film kit anymore is pretty much the Mamiya 645 Pro TL with a few different backs to cover all my needs (120, 35 Pana adapted, and 35mm back). Well, that and a Nikon SP and an Olympus Pen to be cool with a rangefinder and I have fun with half frame (my wallet approves). I have a much larger collection, but they're mostly bodies and lenses I collected in various states of disrepair/dirtiness that I haven't gotten around to rebuilding yet. I wouldn't really put them in the lineup since they're glorified shelf and display case ornaments. In that case they could be a line of anything collected with moderate to little or no value. I want a TX1, but I can't bring myself to spend the money when the adapted 35mm pana 645 back is good enough for me. Also, 43mm is best focal length, but it's almost impossible to find that unless you're Pentax. It's hard for me to think or see with wide angle in mind much less ultrawide; 50mm is my goto with 40-43mm being the comfort zone if available.

Hi guys! I just bought a FED 2 L39 mount rangefinder camera. It came with a 35mm Jupiter-12 lens. I just need some help cause I would really like to use a lens above 50mm focal lenght but dont want to stick to the russian made ones. Could anyone give me some tips what should I look for?

How the hell did I miss this?!?! I have pushing 100 cameras 😂

I have only the AE-1, but I have 4 lenses for it. My biggest buy is a Canon 100-300mm 5.6f. Not a zoom lens, but a woosh lens, because I have smol pener.

This should've been a 90 min special, kinda like Thanksgiving...painful.

It’s not a shutter button its the film advance button. The camera is the Voigtlander Vitessa L if I’m not mistaken. Rad camera.

What’s the power wider on the canon a1 at 4:27

That erected shutter button is not the shutter, it is the film advance lever

Shoulda sent in a picture of my 37 camera book shelf

God damn it Jason, why couldn’t you wait 5 more days to upload this, those hasselblads were too much.

The light meter looking one is a half-frame.

My collection didn’t make it but I have Polaroid 600 Impulse / Canon AE 1 / Mamiya 645 Pro / Yashica G124 / Konica Hexar / Ricoh GR1
