Very well done! I just purchased this camera and was looking for the best settings for full sunlight and the 400 B&W 127 film. Your video was the first I found. I didn't find all I was looking for but the story of your grandfather was interesting indeed.

merci

Great video! Better than many "seasoned" RUclipsrs! I took an orphaned 1915 VPK lens and adapted it to an M42 billows for use on my 35mm film camera. I can focus from infinity down to about 6 inches with the lens on "T" so I can use my cameras shutter and the through the lens meter (also a flash if I want). I will be using Ilford Ortho Plus 80 because it mimics the limited spectrum films of period for authenticity. On the plus side, no need to hunt down 127 film. It is not red sensitive, exactly like the original films used during the war. I don't know of any WW1 reenactments near me but I will use it at vintage car shows and aviation shows. My dream is to take this setup to the Goodwood Revival (historic races each September) in the UK were people dress in period clothes and vintage planes do flyovers. Thanks for the great stories and inspiration!

très intéressant, merci

Bravo et merci pour vos conseils experts

Hello and thank you for your video. Can you please make an update to this video please? The Nut Client of Mac OS doesn't work on most recent versions of OS. Can you please make a step by step detailed video? My others equipments are shutting down via NUT Tools except my Mac because I can't configure it. Thank you once again.

Tjanks for sharing all history and pics !!

There are a lot of good photos from those VPKs from the Great War. By today's standads, they weren't much -- yours, like the one I just bought, has a simple meniscus lens and fixed focus, but the Ball Bearing Shutter is notorious for still working more than a century after it was built, and Kodak apparently used top grade materials for the bellows in these as well -- at least, most of them are still light tight. 127 film isn't as easy to come by as it was when I was a kid -- but it's not difficult to convert 120 with some simple tools and a couple 127 spools (as a bonus, you get 12 exposures from a roll rather than the original 8). Ilford Pan F is close to the original film speed for these cameras, though you can probably get similar results with FP4+, Delta 100, T-Max 100, or Fomapan 100 (negative film generally does well with mild overexposure). Based on results I've had with similar lenses in other cameras, you can probably even use Ektar 100 or Portra 160, though I'd recommend that only if you're also set up to develop your own color film -- else you'll probably never see your 127 spool again.

Evidently the MacOS now senses if it’s plugged into a UPS and gives you options. See ruclips.net/video/MJY1s4przBM/видео.html. No need to install external software now.

merci pour le conseil

Hi. Great video. Can you use the center column as monopod alone?

I think you underestimate the size of the 127. 4mm by 6mm is medium format and nearly the size of a Rolleiflex negative.

NUT doesn't have a version for Big Sur :-(

I enjoyed seeing all the old photos probably taken with the camera.

Well done. There is a book written about the VPK and WW1. Called: the vest pocket kodak & the first world war. ISBN number: 978-1-87145-279-0. Written by Jon Cooksey and foreword by Richard van Emden. I hope you like it.

Great video, well paced and informative.

My grandfather was apprenticed to a Professional photographer from 1900 aged 12 until 1903 when the Photographer was killed in a car accident. He was a photographer in the Royal Flying Corps from 1914 to 1918. He survived and brought his VP Autographic with him. He carried it with him most times. His main camera was a folding quarter plate German camera with triple extension bellows. I still have lots of his wonderful pictures from ww1 and later. He taught me to take photographs and do enlargements. I was a working wedding and press photographer from 1960 until 1970. I still have his cameras including a VP Kodak. His brother Cecil who lived in Naniamo Canada enlisted in the Canadian Army and fought in Ww1. He survived. Thanks for your great video.

Good quality video your Grandfather's camera is in incredible condition! I I have one without the Autographic window coming in the mail!

Thanks Michael! Great details! I’m gonna one right away!

Great job on this my man.

Superb! Thank you.

What a beautiful camera, and kept in such great shape. Would you consider using it again? Also, thanks for sharing your grandfather's story. He seems quite the achiever, and as an early pilot he must have experienced some horrible things. I hope to have one of these cameras soon, so it was great to see someone relate such a personal story about it.

I'm trying to get myself one of these cameras, what film type was it exactly?

Same as G7X III

Wonderful video! clear, short and funny! Sincerely thanks, I wish I had found this before. I've spent the past two days going through the very unintuitive networkupstools website guides, trying to figure out how to make it work for my environment. You saved me A LOT of work hours. Really. THANKS

Merci 🙇‍♂️

Pls make more videos

The camera I use is an old box brownie because its light and durable and takes good pictures.

Michael, good job on your first video, the history and description of the camera and functions combined with actual photo is good.

Great story. I have my grandfather's camera a Kodak 3A Junior Autographic... quite a bit bigger than the VPK... and a book of pictures he took with it while he was training in the Army Air Corps. He was still training when the war ended so he never went "Over there".

The Kodak Vest Pocket A-127 camera you have had other fans. Charles Lindbergh use it and, more interestingly, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine took one on their 1924 attempt to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. The camera was never found but, it it were, the film might show they'd reached the summit - or not.

deserve more views 👍

I will agree. There are no bad photographers, just bad attempts at passing oneself off as one.

Lovely video .. I bought one of these cameras with pen on the back last year at a car boot sale in a brown cotton case and I sold it on eBay .. wish I’d kept it now .. damn.

Nice the vid pity for the unseemly cheap background jingle, get rid of the crud is #1.

Hi I got /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.networkupstools.nut.plist: Invalid property list can you help me out? Would be great

Miraculeux ! Je viens de voir cette vidéo (et celle sur le quadruplement de la qualité des images)... j'ai hâte de tester tout ça, dès que j'aurai acheté mon premier appareil photo. C'était très clair et très sympa à suivre ! Merci !

merci pour l'explication

Will be sharing with members of newly formed Victoria Vintage Camera Club (BC, Canada) Thanks!

This is awesome!

Nice video fan from Bengaluru

I am so excited to follow this! I sincerely hope this will work for me!

I've had my Sirui tripod for about 7 years. I too broke one of those plastic bits. These help the half turn locking. I was a bit too heavy handed when twist-locking. However, my leg would jam with the broken bit. I was gutted, so I bought another Sirui tripod but in red. I then found these replacement parts were sold by an online shop. I now have 2 Sirui tripods and am doubly happy. Awesome tripods. Awesome video.

The download links are dead! Have other sources to download this from or can you share these files somehow?

Sirui will send you those broken parts new, just send them an e-mail, most times they even send them for free, no biggie ✌🏼

This should have gotten more views, you've answered all my questions Michael.

Je dois faire des photos d'oeuvres. Quel appareil photo me faut-il et quel appareils d'éclairages ?

I have an identical one, how can I know what year it is? nice to meet you

I have the same, im an antiquarian btw
