2 years old video and still so insight and up to date ! Super interesting !

200 unit only such a shame

I own lynx-14 and still using it, after CLA it was amazing picture from this camera, love it.

My first 35 was a Yashica Lynx 1000. I worked in a camera store and sold some 1.4 Lynx, but never owned one.

I have a brand new Lynx-14 in its box with all the guarantee cards and paperwork.

Thank you!! This is super helpful and straight to the point. Just what I was looking for.

Cool video and interesting camera! In some shots there was a Fujica Compact D, will you do a video like this for that camera too? It's a very special camera design as well.

These cameras are fun to use. But shouldn’t be treated like a serious rangefinder. That 1.4 lens sounds great, but back then, people don’t shoot wide open because the photos were soft.

I have tried one. The internal meter is unreliable. The ergonomics is poor. It's also very difficult to get the focus right when the focusing distance is close. So I agree for most people a good SLR and a f/1.4 lens is a better choice.

what about compared to the canonet ql17

It's a really... meh lens... nobody who uses a rangefinder wants to shoot wide open... you'll miss focus way too much... also it's just a soft lens with some bad CA... if you want a cheap rangefinder go for a Canon 7 or Minolta Hi-Matic 7s you'll get a lens that's better and the camera isn't going to die because If you want to get serious about photography stop thinking about aperture or whatever useless spec you find on datasheets... photography is all about the image and every image you see on posters, advertisement, in books and from great photographers is not shot wide open but between f4-f11.... make your backgrounds interesting... they're part of the story... study people who have actually created the art that inspires you... be it photographers or painters or sculptors... the camera doesn't matter... the lens doesn't matter... the film stock doesn't matter

Electro 35 where?

내가 상상 하던 셋팅이었어 좋은 정보 고마워 !!!!

Nice video, where did you pick up the 3rd party focus ring?

For non-interchangeable RF, I'd say Konica Hexar AF is the goat.

As far as the pertect rangfinder is concerned, it was and still is the Leica M3. From the mechanical quality to that superb viewfinder and the precision of the rangefinder it is still unsurpassed. All other Leica 'P' desginated cameras that came later were pretending to aspire to the mecahnial/optical quality of the M3. The caveat is that a decent M3 is still very expensive, and the Leica optics even more. Persoanlly I wouldn't recommend the use of a very fast lens with a rangefinder camera. For fixed lens rangefinder, I still use my old Olymus 35 RC and RD. Very nice video, BTW.

Enjoyed the video! I owned Lynx-14E for a couple of years and while it certainly wasn't the most versatile or easy to use rangefinder I've come across, it did have a particular sweet spot (to my eye): f/2-2.8, mid-distance, very sharp and slightly contrasty b&w film (think Tmax or Delta), maybe a touch of backlighting. That combo of low contrast/low(er) sharpness lens and a sharp, contrasty film was bringing something very special to the portraits I took with it.

having large aperture lens is one of the least important to me and overrated IMO. the best price with a great lens and awesome viewfinder is konica IIIA/M imo.

Wow, you had me from the launch. Really great video. I ate up all the details. My only (so far) film camera is a Fujica Auto M from pretty much the exact same era. This has me really thinking it over. Quite impressive video, and even the part where you talked about "gave up on taking certain photos," I feel so validated. :)

Nice job, good review

We´re fighting for film to stay, like culture to stay

I'm just glad Ilford is going all-in on having their name on new-ish products. I'm still keeping the box! Got quite a collection of box art from the Film Renaissance going and it's only getting better. BTW if you want a real "Ilford" color stock go for Harman Phoenix. It was developed from XP2.

nearly all of those lenses have haze! Unreapirable! Caused by lubricants used by Leitz and the soft glass.. WHY DO YOU RECOMEND CRAP!?

So nice!!! Thanks so much!! This camera is a beauty in itself and that has to be part of the fun… o had an Afga 6x7, enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the fantastic content…

Wow! What’s a video!! Thanks a lot! That’s a very underrated video. Maybe you should add at the title the name “Olympus pen”. I watched many videos on the Olympus pen series, but yours didn't show up. Only when looking for other things like street photography your video showed up.

I like the look of this film. Kind of a cross between Metropolis and Color '92. I don't really care what marketing is on the package, just performance and price. This repackaging malarky has been a standard practice for decades. In the 1970's I used Pacific film and Hanimex. Neither company was manufacturing film, and we all knew that their films were probably repackaged Kodak, but at a lower price. Who cares if my teal packaged Hanimex film came back from processing in a red/orange Pacific sleeve, when really it should have all been Kodak yellow? It didn't matter. Even back then there were only four or five film manufacturing companies, but in the camera stores there were dozens of brands of film available for sale. Then, as now, we chose film based on speed, format, the sort of color palette you want, negative or slide, and price. The Ilfocolor looks good to me.

It's crap knock off film using the British, UK Ilford name which they are legally entitled to. British, UK Ilford (Harman Technology). Make high quality black and white films plus the new Harman Phoenix color film.

I had one of those and an M3 that I used for many years until it was stolen.

It's a great lens - unfortunately infinity focus of this lens does not work with Leica cameras of the M 240 and M10-R with exemption of the standard cameras in the M10 and M11 series. The lens shaft can be modified to allow to work on all digital Ms with a shaft piece at the lens mount removed.

Genial gemacht! Danke! With Love from Shithole Germany!

Very informative, thank you.

Very interesting! I have one of those 12.5 mm anamorphic adapters lying around and since I've just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro I feared it would see even less use now that I don't have a way to mount it to my new phone. I even thought for a moment about disassembling the lens to create a new mounting solution but thought the chance of it actually working would be very small. I particularly didn't expect the back element to be that big. That opens up completely new possibilities.

What a really great video. I'm finding it a year late, but I love it. Nicely made.

I have this beautiful camera but wondering what size filter to use on it. Any suggestions?

God damn these videos are beautiful! Feeling this at the moment, had my Leica M4 for a couple years now but on the street it feels far too much pressure to use such a ‘pristine machine’ - might use a beater camera and see how I go

Hi I just got autoboy prisma date and found out the date can be set just up to 2019. Is there a way to imprint the year after 2019?

I have a canon 310xl. Everything works correctly. shutter opens when filming, film moves forward. used Kodak 50D film. But when I got my processed film back from pro8mm. It was blank. The gave a few reasons why, such as those listed but none were the issue. Any idea what may have caused the blank film?

The word is impractical not “unpractical”

Maybe you can try super16mm lenses with c mout some of them forks even M4/3 sensor. I personally almost finished my own anamorphic single focus adapter( ISCO GOTTINGEN optics ,Ultra ANAMORPHIC MC 2x)with has same princeple as on phone and drone anamorphic adapter and it super compact and works even with 20mm T1.9 so it dont need lens support becase its even more compact than what yuo find in market today for beeing 2x anamorphic.

Really informative and helpful! Thanks so much for making this. I found my first Super 8 film camera for $2 at a rummage sale and all the indicators seem to point that it should work. Bought some film and hopefully it's all good!

The Zeiss cinema lenses that produce triangle bokeh are called “b speeds”. Super speeds have circular bokeh.

Two questions! Did that lens hood come with it? Or what lens hood are you using AND have you found any sort of manual for this camera? Searching everywhere. Thanks! Great review.

How do you use the hotshoe for external flash?

I believe you can turn the flash off as default in the advanced settings. I'm not sure because my version has the switch like the 28Ti but I'm pretty sure you can.

Still my favorite 50mm lens to this day.

YO WHAT IF YOU PAIR THIS WITH THE SONY RX100 SERIES

I have brought a Chinon super 8 507s XL camera, after I done filming, how do I rewind the film?

Hello. Its posible to fix this lenses on SONY RX0 II ?

I am new to the world of film photography and I just ordered a cheap Olympus Pen D online to try out film photography myself. Watching these kinds of videos about the Olympus Pen cameras makes me feel like a made a good choice of picking a half frame camera to start learning photography. Thank you!

Nice video and nice tips! I'd suggest to lower the music volume as I couldn't clearly understand what you were saying :)
