If you want to 3d print more film cassette use resin over FDM. Much better results form the cheaper resin printers than what you will get with a FDM.

Why not add felt to your existing holder? Contact adhesive is probably what would work the best here. That plus adding salt to the internals of a camera seems, horrendous.

Honestly surprised the Tea Wizard still has all his fingers at the end.

I had to resin 3D print my viscawide 16 cartridges. FDM printers don’t work well for something this small. The cost of a small resin 3d printer is around $160 and the resin is around $20 per 1000g. You will have to paint or coat the inside with felt. It’s so thin they are not light proof without it.

I wanted to get one of these to go along with my viscawide 16. I have a lot of ektachrome 100 and Fuji micro film HR-21. I was told the lens was very sharp. Using something like Ektachrome or similar high resolve film or even the Kodak vision film will give you some nice results. Not only good resolution but nice grain. As far as the pyrocat and Fuji micro film goes I wouldn’t recommend. I had poor results. 510 pyro on the other hand seem ok. Pyrocat needed 45min to an hour to develop and I am not that patient.

I bought a Rolleiflex in an ebay auction for a shockingly low price because no-one else put in a bid, probably because it was a really early model, also with no glass window.Then I found out it was the same one Vivian had. It works perfectly but I'm going to get it serviced soon and install a fresnel.

For a NEW camera the price is very reasonable. Used cameras are slowly dying and their prices keep going up. Some high end used point and shoots with similar specs sell for much more. Contax T2, Nikon 35ti etc.

I'm interested primarily because it's new. The thought of my 30-50 year old cameras eventually needing a CLA service always looms in the back of my mind so if this 35AF is good enough for my needs, I'll feel better about it's longevity. Considering my cameras K1000, X-700, and XA2 show no signs of stopping - I might just be fishing for a reason to buy a new expensive toy.

Sounds very interesting, and I completely missed the news. But, unfortunately, the $600-800 price tag is a dealbreaker for me. For that much money I'd expect a fully functioning, full-size SLR with interchangeable lenses. At the same time it wouldn't need autofocus. Now this thing definitely does, looking at what people who know the original say. But $800 makes it a gimmick and you'd be able to get a really good kit with several lenses on the used market instead.

I like it! Sometimes you buy something, and you just enjoy the journey of learning how it works. And, those tactile switches, got to love them

Cine film also has sprocket holes which are in frame. Vision 3 certainly meets your dynamic range requirements, it's huge but you might not want the entire can. Why not just buy 110 cartridges and strip the film out of them in a dark bag and load that? There's also the questionably named fakmatic which slits down film into 16mm strips so you can use anything that's commonly available if you don't mind some wastage. Is the metal cannister from a slightly weird website in the UK that also has loads of minox stuff by any chance? I should clean up my 16 and get it working, will give your twitch stream a look.

50 years ago I learnt photo with a zenit EM until the shutter died. Good souvenirs and good pictures.

I have a few Leica M cameras, film and digital, Hasselblads, Nikons, Pentax 67, Field cameras, etc, and I also have a Zenit 11, even more basic than yours. I love it. It is so simplified and focused on photography. If you don't have the necessary knowledge about the basics of photography or the operation of the camera, like it was once the norm, forget it, you won't be able to use one of these for making photographs. These are just tanks, an dthe lens is quite good too.

this is a 50/50 fight with slight edge to AJ

I have the Vito Cl also and i love it so much, my light meter still works but I dont trust it. I also have the Vito B, both cameras produces very nice images. I just zone focus the camera and I have never missed a shot. I hope you keep it, if nothing else it looks good on a shelf.

There are filters for the voigtlander cameras, lens hoods too. What's more, you can either upgrade to the Vito CLR with built in rangefinder or get a shoe accessory rangefinder for it. The voigtlander ones are spectacular but you could probably get a CLR for around the same price as one anyway. Then you can carry on being a 50s dad on a beach 😉

Most... well, a lot of us, fall into the same situation. Cameras seem to accumulate and I enjoy seeing them, using them, getting pictures back from each one of them. I try to only have film in two at a time. Finish those rolls and then decide on the next pair. I don't always stick to the plan.

Really interesting watch! I'm just getting into film photography and I really liked how my photos from my Ilfocolor Rapid turned out. Cool to see the behind-the-scenes of how it works/how it's assembled. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a cheap camera like this one but one that is reusable? Thanks again for the video!!
