Ensign 2 1/4B Box camera

If you were sat at home on a Sunday afternoon in 1923 you might have been to church in the morning, had your Sunday lunch and now are waiting for TV to be invented. Having family photos to look through and organise in albums and show to your neighbours might well have been a swell pastime. You need a camera of course but they are expensive, or are they?

How to use a Nikon F60, N60 with Harman Phoenix photos
Просмотров 7864 месяца назад
One of a Plethora of entry level SLR cameras that came out in the 90's. This is a very low cost way into the Nikon system but like all these "starter" cameras one can also outgrow it (having bought into the system first). For some reason the F60 seem to attract a degree of criticism that similar cameras don't seem to. Is it unjustly maligned or it there something fundamentally wrong?

Let's take a look at a 1960's camera from what was at the time a well regraded "premium" brand. I happened to take this on holiday with me and in spite of no built in meter or rangefinder I managed to get some nice pics with it. The lens fitted is the basic one in the Vito C range but I was impressed with the sharpness of it. There is slideshow of images, the music is from the RUclips audio lib...

Samsung Fino 800, Maxima 80 Ti overview
Thanks MVC!
I sold cameras in the mid eighties. Chinon, were a bit plasticy and broke down more than any other brand at the time that we sold. But they are nice enough, and their 50 mm 1,7 is a kliler lens. But that data back was a stunning piece of gear, havent seen it since.

Cool piece of kit for 1980. It's wild you had to explain mobile phones weren't a thing then 🤣🤣 I was convinced that a calculator style lcd screen
Hi, mine is not winding the film when loading. Any thoughts as to why? Doing exactly what you are.
Very helpful video, thank you. I bought one on eBay for £30 + postage and it came with new batteries. I didn’t remove them and I’ve had to replace them after 3 weeks having not even used the camera apart from testing the AF. My sense is that this camera drains batteries quite quickly, understandable as they have to power quite a lot of functions including of course the AF lens. I’m really looking forward to using the camera and this video has encouraged me to get out there and start shooting.
Incredibly useful!!!
Some nice shots here! What film did you use?
Hello GreenlifeFin, Thank you for your comments and kind words. I used Ilford XP2 Plus as it has the best exposure latitude. All the best Ed
@@mostlyvintagecameras4323 Thanks. Good to know about the exposure latitude, and I anyway prefer the look of XP2.
After unscrewing the screw, the battery compartment door cannot open, the hinge side get stuck🥲 But your video helps a lot. Its my first time changing battery since I bought this camera 8years ago
When you use a flash in the hot shoe it pushes a small tab in and this limits you to 1/30 sec only
After months of looking for a reasonably priced one, i found a blue Konica Pop and it's a blast to use. It's definitely the best looking camera i ever had. I just needed to replace the light seals, everything else is smooth sailing. Your video is very helpful in making me comfortable using it.
What battery does the F60 take
Hello It uses two of CR123A. All the best MVC
Tablet/smartphone clamps with tripod mount should be good replacement for temporary DIY solution or hunt for random flat surfaces. Quite good at holding various rectangles.
Good ideas there, I'll certainly give that a go next time with a box camera. all the best MVC
"Soccer, if you're that way inclined" 😂
Thanks for the help! Subscribing!
For safety, I always unload in a dark bag. They don't always wind on tight. Guess how I know!!!
Hello RichardWest Thank you for your comment, that sounds like sage advice thank you. I think I will follow that guidance next time! All the best MVC
20 shillings in a £.
Yes indeed, you are correct!
I have the same camera, except in black and with the addition of a disc lens cap attached to the body by a cord. This helped me to take pictures on the time setting inside a cathedral; I placed the camera on any convenient flat surface.
Great video! I was trying to figure out the depth of field preview myself. The manual says to always open the aperture to its widest, then smallest (which would naturally happen) before returning the lens to “A”. It also mentions pressing the “AE-Lock pin” too before and after. I couldn’t follow the manual there and didn’t understand the reasoning if these two steps
If I am in M (Manual) Mode, can I switch the AF to single shot and only one shot (not continuous winding)?
Hello, In Manual you get Ai focus, effectively continuous. Continuous winding and centre weighted average metering. There is no way to change this combination of settings! Kind regards MVC
I've had my EOS 50 since 1996. Just earlier this year, I took it out of its decade-long retirement, and it still works. In addition, I picked up an EOS 55 and an EF 28-80 lens for under US$80.
Thanks for your video! I’m looking into getting an Olympus Trip 35 and this seems like an awesome attachment!
I’ve had mine on display (laying down), should it be in the case?
these are getting old now and the selenium cells won't last for ever. firstly compare it to a reliable meter. if it matches and you want to keep using it then keep the button in and the cell covered will prolong its life.
@@mostlyvintagecameras4323 thank you for your reply, very useful information I didn’t know! It’s still close enough to be usable, so I’ll now keep it in its case or the cell covered (button locked in). Again thank you so much.
I have this! I love it. Do you have a vintage spot meter?
This video instantly made me want'ah fish and chippy wut FIFTEEN QUID FOR A CHIPPY, ARE YOU MENTAL?
Thank you for the video. I just got a kodak from a family member and want to know more about it. This video was really helpful.
Bought one, put 3 rolls throught it.. the "limiting" factors on this camera i dont find limiting at all.. i really liked going back to 1 focus point.. i found myself shooting alot quicker.. i got the matching lenses, and the 300mm is fantastic, excellent seperation and a little natural vinietting wich looks good.. i am definitely slowing down on buying a f4
Thanks so much for your discussion of the Minox cameras. I've always had an EL sitting in a box with other things, and am educating myself about it. It seems to work, though I need to put a roll of film through it to test it. Something I've noticed in your videos is that you're using 24 exp rolls of film. I have understood from other videos that the EL doesn't tolerate 36 exp rolls well. The film advance mechanism starts tearing through the sprocket holes at the end of the roll. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I will stick with 24 exp for now. Also, I'm thrilled to expect a sharp lens. I've used an Olympus Epic Stylus for a long time and it's never struck me as being particularly sharp. Your results from the Minox are definitely a level above the Olympus. Thanks so much for sharing your collection.
Great video. Alas I now want one! Excellent tip on the flash btw. I will use that.
Thank you! Was trying to figure out how to do this
I’ve been getting into 35mm and my grandfather gave me one. It’s very interesting and different from my other manual camera. Unfortunately this seems to be one of the few video’s about the camera.
You’re a legend bro
Thank you for the guide! A camera kit was handed down to me and this instrument was included.
extremely useful. thank you.
You forgot to mention the metal gear covering goes into a special spot on top of the motor drive unit. Otherwise, great job on the review :)
Very good
i was sure there is a feature where putting the comand dial in iso pressing both back buttons simultaneously allows early film rewind
Yes, you are correct. I realised my error just after I made the video and so added a correction I to the description.

Another turnip trying his best to dissect the new Pentax film camera. A complete failure on his part of course.
Good effort on the review. I bought one of these, new, back in 1999, it was my first SLR and I cut my teeth on it before getting a beautiful fully manual Nikon FE. Unfortunately it was at that watershed moment between analogue and digital, and I ended up getting a D70 in 2004 which I still use as my main tool today, and both my analogue cameras ended up languishing in a cupboard for two decades. But I've just signed up for a b&w developing course this summer, so thanks to your video, I'm dusting off my Dynax and I'll be taking it round the Pyrenees for some landscape work next week. Cheers!
Very helpful, thank you! I am just re-configuring my 28 mm Tamron lens to work on a Sony E-mount system. The Tamron ring is a little stiff, having last been inserted in 1988!
The colourminotar lens is a gem, and reputed to have been designed by an ex Leica optics designer.
Very informative video, thanks. I recently purchased this camera and your comments help a lot. Besides checking the bellows, I'll light seal the top film door before I shoot my roll. The fact the pictures are a bit off makes the photos more interesting in my opinion.
im grabbing one for about $60, but since its my first time shooting film, do you have any tips to not mess up in my first roll?
Hello honghung, Use good batteries. Make sure the film is loaded correctly and you press the rewind button in when you come to remove the film. It may seem wastful but if you can get a spre roll of film it is well worth loading, shooting and rewinding a test film before setting out to take photos propper. When I say shoot a test film I just mean sot on your sofa and fire off and wind on all the frames on your sacrificail test roll just to ge tthe hang of it. Have fun MVC
It looks like a great camera 📷 I'm just a bit concerned they've priced it a little too high to tenpt in those new film shooters?😮🤔 I wish them every success with it abd we have to aknowledge this is a good thing for analogue photography and will hopefully mean other camera manufacturers throwing their hat into the analogue ring. I suspect Pentax will release a full frame camera based on this design with juat a few mods.😊
the challenge of using interchangeable lenses is the shutter would need to be a curtain shutter instead of leaf
indeed it would, rather like a Bessa R or Rollei 35RF in fact. I think a shutter block could be made to fit the space.
Or: The leaf shutter will be in each lens, which will make the lens more expensive
Haven't shot 35mm since I bought my first digital camera in 2004. This one could have been fun to do it again. But for casual use for me personally not for $500 dollars.
That's a very good point! If pentax are going to design a new film camera chassis, it might as well be full frame compatible. Hopefully they follow this up soon; if they were really smart they'd also have designed the film transport system to fit around one of their DSLR mirror assemblies... I am quite confused by the lens movement - linking the focus directly to the focus ring worked for decades; I can't see any problem solved by adding another actuator.
Please bear in mind I'm only guessing how the mechanism works. The focus ring in defo more of a "selector" and the lens moves as a separate process.
Interesting camera! Curious to try one when they're officially around! It's amazing Pentax made a new cam like this, from scratch. Hats off to them!
