    I just realized from this point on that you're from carthrottle and you tagged Ethan along in your film misadventures. What a small world we live in!

      I looked at Ethan and thought "hmm he loos familiar" and couldn't really remember from where, luckily youtube has comments! Thank you

    You're the first one I'm seeing positively reviewing a folder. Most people you hear aren't confident in the reliability of the bellows, but I've always found them really neat because of their portability.
    Love seeing you make more videos, keep it up!

    I had a similar experience with an old 1949 "Made In Occupied Japan" Konica I rangefinder I bought on a whim off Facebook marketplace. Everything worked on it and I thought "hey that's a really fun camera, I'll buy the top of the range 1959 Konica IIIA to complement it!"
    Haven't touched the IIIA since I got it. I keep coming back to this weird, primitive, boxy thing with a collapsible lens that just feels incredibly "zen" to use.

    Please keep making videos! I love your vibe and that you're already off doing interesting different topics. Plus I think your example photos are better than you're chalking them up to be.

    i have a lot cameras from the 1920th and 1930th. Voigtländer, Agfa, Zeiss Ikon Box and folding cameras and other for plate fotography. It is a lot of fun to take pictures with them and develop the film or plate at home. i use mostly Fomapan 100. it´s a cheap film with a light touch of yesterday

    My oldest camera is a Voigtlander Avus plate camera with a roll film back. According to the receipt that was with it, it was purchased in Norwich in 1935.
    I also have a later Voigtlander Bessa, with which I use a handy rangefinder that also works as a viewfinder.

  • @Autorange888

    If you think the brilliant viewfinder up front of the camera is too small, there exist finders of the camera period that clip on it to enlarge the image. When using your phone to measure the light, hold it horizontal and the front somewhat down, to avoid overexposure by the sky. The old lenses have no coating, these are not made for color pictures, even so the result was quite nice with a golden warmth to the images. Well done!

  • @GrayWolfPaw
    @GrayWolfPaw Год назад

    I have the Voigtländer Brillant and the Soviet copy Lubitel 2 (a model from 1977) and I like the Lubitel more because of the brighter lens and the 'better' features which including the almost useless focus coupling to the upper lens. Give it a try.

    Your Voightlander is positively sophisticated compared to my Kodak Model 2 Folding Cartridge Hawk Eye Model C. Tested at a blistering 1/60th of a second, you have a choice of that or leave the shutter open until you feel like closing it again. Range plate has a choice of 25 feet or 100 feet.
    How does it shoot? About like you'd expect. Challenging and fun!

    The two wire squares viewfinder was meant for "sport" or quick photography, hence the not so accurate composition. The viewfinder at the front was for actually composing.

    Folding cameras are brilliant. I've a handful of 1930s Zeiss Ikons. Look for the ones with TESSAR lenses.
    Be careful, you'll see some for sale with chipped black enamel and dried out skins that people want the earth for.
    Alternatively there are as new gems out there.
    I bought a 1931 520/15 in as new condition for just £10. It even has the original cable release. The snag? It takes 116 film . . . not made since the 1980s but . . . . snipped the ends off of some plastic Rawlplugs to pad out the 120 spool size, made a cardboard mask to produce smaller negs and it produced amazing shots.
    My favourite is the 1937 Super Ikonta 531/2 - these were requisitioned by the War Department in WW2 and issued to British Army combat photographers and they come with a built in rangefinder. I got mine in a charity shop for £20. They were asking £10 for it but, well it was a charity shop so . . . .

    i love 80+ year old cameras, there's just something about battling them that feels so satisfying, like after you've delicately cleaned a century of gunk off the lens, taken apart and put back together the shutter, filled in all the pinhole light leaks and cleaned off all the corrosion it feels like a child you've raised, and like a child of your own, any shithouse art it makes in the form of film is instantly fridge worthy no-matter if you can't tell what the fuck you're looking at.

    I love this video. I did a video of my experience with the Voigtlander Bessa 1 from1929, with film that expired in 1994... but with nowhere near the wittiness of your video. I recently did another spectacularly mediocre shoot with the camera and proper film recently and might post another video... again... not with nearly the amount of wit found here. Love your dreamy shot!!

    I shoot with a half-plate camera from c1900 though I do shoot film in it currently. I also have a lovely condition Kodak 1A Autographic from around 1917 but need to pick up 116 to 120 film holder converters to use it. Martin Henson gets great images form his old cameras.

    Wow! I found something that looks like that camera in my old man’s shed once when I was a kid, pity I did to it what a kid does anyway fortunately still have one left with bellows somewhere that I did not bust up but not so old looking and still with leather case and strap, maybe it hasn’t gone mouldy, have to find and whip out at a tourist spot right next to an iPhone user.

    Can you link to the app you guys were using as a light meter. Looks like it uses the camera, all the ones I have seen use the front facing light sensor that sets screen brightness. Which means you have to flip the phone around, super inconvenient

    Voigtlander are wonderful cameras. Folding 120 cameras are great IMO.
    People are obsessed with pixel peeping these days; just take pictures.
    Thag said, if you get a folder from the 50s the lenses are really quite sharp

    That pile of out-of-focus burning trash pics you showed at around 3 mins demonstrated that it takes really nice out-of-focus pics. Hence the 'dream-like' quality of some images. Maybe you should focus on deliberately taking out-of-focus pics. Maybe you already have; the algorithm has sent this to me a year after you posted this vid.
