Nice Video, I appreciate your knowledge on this Camera. Just ordered my 1st roll of B&W for mine. Will be getting out and about with it soon. Very nice video thank you.
Great video 🙂 Good knowledge of the camera and a little bit of the history of it. It's a handsome looking piece of kit. I also like that you included yourself out and about using the camera. It just goes to prove that we all have it so easy these days using our digital cameras. One last thing, I don't know why, but when you are showing how to rewind the film, just before the second time you pressed the little button , I imagined you making the little boop noise then you actually did it!! 😄 I look forward to the next video 😊
I haven't shot film for a long time, but know that they are quite easy to come across now, the film not so much. Great to see your experience with this model. Would be great to see you shooting with your collection 😊
Thanks for taking the time to do a video about an old film camera! One thing not mentioned was any sort of ISO/ASA/DIN settings. Usually there is ISO/ASA/DIN only if there is a light meter telling you what the correct exposure is. What happens when shooting a wide variety of film speeds? I’m looking for that type of testing videos: ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, etc. with the limited shutter speeds I am unsure how it will work with different ISOs. I do know that these were made when ISOs were VERY SLOW! I see ASA settings down to 16 sometimes on these older cameras (often with dead meters)!
Hi Michael, thanks for watching the video. This particular model, does have an option for ASA as well. there's a small knob at the top of the camera that is used for reminding the film as well that can be used to set up your asa. if you find the manual for it online you can read it up. Their setting is very basic if I'm honest. You have a D - daylight type film, A- artificial light reversal film, Nd- daylight type negative film,Na- artificial light negative film . all of these have various values fro asa 6 to about 200
old color-skopar lenses were all made in Germany until Cosina got the rights to use the name in 1999, before that the Voigtlander name was owned by Rollei and before that owned by Carl Zeiss
I have had this camera for a while and I love it.... Put a colour film in it and printed in sepia... I thought it was Lieca sharp... not everyone would agree... but its no slouch mine was £15...
Thank you! I have been using a range of cameras without a light meter and had success with them….sometime in the future I will probably try a light meter too
Yeah, i mention the name of the lens and then i read what was next to it haha. You’re right the pronto svs is the shutter, the color skopar is the lens and i do write at the bottom of the video the name of the lens too. Thanks for letting me know.
Dear always sit down to load the film,also you need to have or buy a light meter to get an accurate exposure,,,,tt artisan light meter below 100 dollars will do.never guess an exposure, it's not your expertise...Good luck
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and watch the video. I can load film standing up just fine, I even got better the more I did it. As for the light meter, I can get the exposure right without one, practice makes it perfect, plus some people will have a sixth sense about these things…I guess I’m one of those ones:) Thank you again for watching
Dear no one is good enough to read the light,obviously you are young with a big ego...obviously you need to understand depth of field in film photography which had a direct relation to F numbers ..without a light meter you can never have a good photograph and you also have to pick proper and pro films verses over the counter products...film photography is not digital ,computerised cameras that's why in old days there were only hand full of professional photographers in some countries...well I already know your answers..no need to carry on ,it was a mistake to write you..wish you good luck with your hobby.
It's always very exciting trying old cameras for the first time. Love my old Soviet Zorki 4 camera. It takes fantastic photos once you get used to it!
You are so right!!! I have been looking for a Zorki for a while now🙈 you’re very lucky to have one!!

Thank you Simon! I’m a sound machine in my everyday life😂 quite annoying at times to be honest 😂

Thank you for watching ! Might have to go through all the ones I have 🙈 that might take quite a while haha

Great video. And very informative. I like 🎞 cameras. But haven’t used one in ages.
Thank you Mijo! Don’t make me challenge you to use one 🙈🙈
old color-skopar lenses were all made in Germany until Cosina got the rights to use the name in 1999, before that the Voigtlander name was owned by Rollei and before that owned by Carl Zeiss
Thanks for the info!!
Was trying to say they are still used in Japan🙈
@@kiddacreative the company that owns the Voigtlander names leases it out to Cosina to use on the lenses and bodies
I have had this camera for a while and I love it.... Put a colour film in it and printed in sepia... I thought it was Lieca sharp... not everyone would agree... but its no slouch mine was £15...
Planning on using it again soon, and properly this time haha🙌 it’s a great little camera!!
I am surprised that. you did not t take a light meter with you while using this camera. It is a great one, very sharp with the color skopar lens.
I don’t use light meters 🙈 I probably should start haha
If you don't use a light meter with this meter less camera, you are not getting its true worth. The color skopar lens in your camera is superb.
Thank you! I have been using a range of cameras without a light meter and had success with them….sometime in the future I will probably try a light meter too
@@kiddacreative You can start with a light meter app on your smart phone!
Just to say that I have a vito camera but I do not know how to get to use four it ???
Send me a dm on Instagram with your questions and i might be able to help. 👌
Hi-
What was that book at the beginning of the video?
Hi Jerry, it’s called “retro cameras” you can find it on Amazon- amzn.to/3Yeyu3E
I agree it's a delightful camera.. I have 4 of them lol
It is a very nice one!! You went to the extreme there and got 4, that’s commitment 😅
pronto svs is a name of the shutter, not a lens :)
Yeah, i mention the name of the lens and then i read what was next to it haha. You’re right the pronto svs is the shutter, the color skopar is the lens and i do write at the bottom of the video the name of the lens too. Thanks for letting me know.
It's Prontor... With an "r"@@kiddacreative
@@magik8566my bad for the misspelling
Secondo me prima di fare la recensione di una macchina dovresti prima imparare ad usarla😉
It’s a first impression video- as the title suggests, not a camera review!
