      Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I love vintage and callable cameras and it's even better was they are operable. I just inherited 31 cameras including a Mamiya 67rb and c330. Can't wait to get out in the field with them. Thanks for the harness tip. Wasn't sure how I was going to carry that beast around. I weight it on my kitchen scale and it came to 7lbs. 😂 Cheers.

    Back in the day I used to be a camera store owner and Yashica/Contax dealer, and If you love the T4 with the Zeiss, also try getting your hands on the Olympus XA, that was another incredible film compact camera that was as sharp or better than the T4 in some aspects.

    • @jonathans.9372

    Ahhhh that was just a great video! loved watching it. I have a some of old canons on the shelf, that i love a lot. I worked on some of old Canons from the A-Series. So just a little trick for your three canon AE-1´s. It may work on one of them. All you need is some lighter fluid. There are to point´s that we want to address. The battery contact and the shutter button. Put some of the fluid in the battery chamber and press down the contact. It will come up again by it self, becorse there is a spring under it. Now just push a cupel of times. Do the same with the shutter button. some drops of the fluid into the hole for the cable release and simply work the shutter button. If you are lucky, you have a working ae-1 in no time. I hope it works at least on one of your old canons´s. Good luck! I just found your channel and i´am looking forward to all the other videos from you. Greetings from Germany.

    For your RZ (I hope you got it repaired) attach a Gitzo carbon fiber monopod and a Really Right Stuff MH-01 head. It'll easily add 2 stops over handheld (more if you can wedge the monopod against a railing or some other object) and makes the RZ beast much easier to manage when walking around. Simply carry the RZ over your shoulder like a hobo's bindle, lens pointing downward. The monopod also holds your RZ while changing the lens, loading film, etc. without having to put anything on the ground or rough surface. Carry an extra lens, meter, cell phone, wallet, etc. in a small shoulder bag. I always found the RZ to be too uncomfortable and unwieldy on a neck strap. A strong but light monopod adds ballast and control to the RZ beast.

    Some people collect as an investment or as their hobby itself. Over the decades, I have accumulated about three dozen cameras, but my jam is to use the heck out of them (in a gentle way). In fact, my sister’s mom in law, just gifted me a 1938 Zeiss Ikon. I cannot wait to try that one. Last week my cousin drove up with his dad’s old Argus Rangefinder. Lovely. When people find out you are still into film photography, they can literally give you stuff to give it a loving home! My uncle dropped off a Polaroid instant camera with the most 70s box of all time (literally named the swinger), a few months ago! Its a beautiful thing! My current film favs: Nikon FM3A, NikonF2, Nikkormat ELW, Minolta X-700, Minolta SRT 101, Nikon FM2n and Nikon FA. Really enjoyed the video & your collection.

    Nice collection! Watching this made me reminisce about cameras given to me while working at a camera store from 1992-2013. I only kept a couple Nikon film bodies & Nikkor lenses but I still think about the array of gear I donated to the store display.

  • @UNSCPILOT
    @UNSCPILOT 2 года назад +1

    I have my own little collection though it's digital dominated cause I like some of the wacky form factors:
    For Digital:
    Canon EOS Rebel T6, my first serious camera, purchased with the intent to learn astrophotography because phones deffinitly suck at it, no regrets and I'm far enough down that rabbit hole now to have some shots I love.
    Canon EOS M200, cute little EF-M mount camera, it's fate is to be sent to Lifepixel for full-spectrum modification, I doubt I could afford shooting aerochrome but love the look and this will be even better for astrophotography because a lot of cool stuff hides in the infrared, kinda like using the screen like a waist level viewfinder.
    Canon Powershot A590 IS, tiny little point and shoot, I keep it with me at work just to have a camera with me, fun little thing.
    Sony FD Mavica FD75, it's a floppy disk camera, it was too weird and retro for me to ignore, got working batteries for it just waiting for floppies
    Sony DSC-P71: another odd smallish digital point and shoot, looks like some 2000's scifi tech, takes AAs, and Sony's long since abandoned early memory sticks of which I have 2× 8meg versions.
    Film Cameras
    Canon EOS Rebel Ti, loads the same lenses as my T6, seems to work good though I have yet to develop, fun to use, very comparible to my Rebel T6 in use, would love to get its bigger brothers the EOS 5 or EOS 3 to try out the early eye-control system but this cute little silver thing is staying with me.
    Asahi Pentax K1000, my Grandfather's old camera I have inherited, looks good as new, has a wonderful weight and sound to it because it's a brick of metal, been shy about shooting with it until recently because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a manual camera yet but I've just loaded a roll into it to get started (hope it develops well) and was delighted to see the meter works.
    Polaroid Impulse AF, last, but certainly not least, a Camera I bought as a kid purely because instant cameras look "neat", it somehow survived me as a kid (tendency to disassemble things to see how they worked) and now Adult me is quite pleased with the shape it's in with a fresh pack of new Polaroid 600 film run threw it, the sonar AF works great, wonderful viewfinder, and it still takes great shots for a decades old camera that was in the hands of a crazy kid.
    Considering saving for a medium format at some point and eyeing the Hassleblad 500 ELM or ELX even with the risks, they look close enough to the Apollo moon cameras that I can't realistically resist as a space nerd

    I have many film cameras. Many were given to me or I bought the bodies for $5 or less at a camera show i used to help promote. I love my Minolta xa 1 and 2 and my Samsung Evoca's and Pentax IQ zoom which have bulb settings for a point and shoot. My Eos 630s and 650s bodies, as I mentioned were $5 or under for the bodies along with my Nikon N90 and N90s bodies.My favorite automatic Camera is My Canon EOS A2. I am on my 4th one. I do not like rangefinders. I like centered view finders. So I use a portable view finder so I do not have off centered photos. I have an Instax square Sq6. I love that camera. The one that came out after it took away the bells and whistles, made of cheaper plastic and still expensive. The polaroid 250 cameras are being converted to take 120 film.

I used to shoot with the predecessor to your RZ67, the RB67 back when I was a full time pro. I used it for wedding formals and shot wedding candids with the Mamiya 645. I also did all my studio and environmental portraits with it. I'm glad to see you shooting Fuji. Since you like small cameras, try to pick up a Fuji X-E camera. I have the X-E1, X-E2s and X-E3.

    @19:10 Land cameras are self-developing (Polaroid) film cameras named after the inventor Edwin Land. The Agfa Ansco (and yes, you pronounced it correctly) is not a land camera but a Folding Bellows Film camera, looks like a medium format 6x9 that uses 120 roll film. I have several similar models and it's kind of fun to use them out in public and see people's reactions. These are all mechanical cameras and shutter and/or film transport should not be that difficult to repair. Torn bellows can be replaced but that can be expensive.

    The Canon AE-1 may just need a battery replacement. That’s why it won’t work. The shutter won’t function without battery power, it’s not mechanically controlled. Put in a new battery and see. You may need to clean the battery contacts if it still doesn’t work with a new battery, sometimes a pencil eraser will do the job. Just scrub the positive and negative ends with the eraser on the end of a pencil. Good luck! And let me know if this helped!!

      There should be some tutorials online on how to remove the camera plates, but there are two hidden screws. One under the bottom corner under the rubber cover, opposite side of the right hand grip. The other hidden screw is located in the compartment. It’s easy after you figure it out. Good luck! ✌️

      @@flickeringgreenflame8493 I like gaffer tape, but it starts to fray after a short while. Good quality electrical tape holds up well and matches better with the camera plastic. There’s also some high quality vinyl tape that doesn’t leave residue, which is often used to label baby supplies at daycares.

    Not sure if you’ve shot TLRs before, if not I think you’re in for a treat with that Mamiya. That one is pretty heavy though.
    I’ve shot a bunch of cameras and always thought TLRs were not for me (too retro) … but I got a clean Rolleicord with a bright screen … just as a way to shoot medium format that is easily portable and reliable (no electronics, no plastic) and I absolutely love it. It’s quite a different way of working but a total joy and totally practical.

    Nice collection.
    The Nikkormat EL is a battery pig, but really well built, and if you don't have a good battery (or any battery in it), it's just dead. Nothing really mechanical about it at all.
    I've got about twenty 35mm cameras (incl 8 Nikon film SLRs) and 3 MF film cameras. They all work, thankfully. At some point, I need to thing the non-Nikon herd, but a couple have sentimental value, some are cool (the OM1s I have), etc. I have a problem. LOL

    I love this collection! I always find vintage/older film cameras to be fascinating unlike the digital cameras we have today. (Except for my Fujifilm X cameras they look fine AF esp the X100S and X-T1 that I got)
    This definitely encourages me to collect and shoot more cameras in my lifetime. I had two AF Slr Cameras the Minolta 7000i and Pentax SFXn but never had the chance to shoot with them due to the insane prices of film these days. Ended up selling them and letting go of them to just get lenses/vintage lenses for my Fujis. Will definitely shoot film once I get enough funds again to afford a proper mechanical slr and film costs.
    Thanks for sharing us this massive collection of yours!

    Had a canon 630 for a while. Get a copy of the cheap 50/1.8. It felt cheap. It looked cheap. But it actually took really awesome photos. Super simple lens design, and kinda noisy autofocus, but it totally worked/works. My judgement on the lens is based on having MANY canon autofocus SLRs over the years. Lotta great lenses, but if you want something cheap that makes the camera worth having, that's the lens.

    Very nice camera collection. I have a collection also. Like you, I have some that were dead when I bought them or they died. Problem is that the cost to repair most cameras is at least $200 and most are not worth servicing. I could usually buy a working copy for less. I recently took 4 of my nicer cameras in for a CLA, that was $900.
