    I learned on film and grew up around it. When I got into digital my photos always had blown out highlights (like the sky) I thought it was the camera. So I got a more expensive digital camera to find the same results. Two cameras later it finally got to me, what am I doing wrong? When I shot film I NEVER had this many compromises. I picked up my X700, put a roll of Kodak Ektar in it and took pictures. The results were so different it was enough to send me back to shooting film. Film has life with an organic feel to the pictures. Your scene is captured how YOU saw it, not the cameras sensor with its newest image processor. Long live film!

      With film you have to meter for the shadows/mids. With digital you have to protect the highlights. Digital is not shit, you just have to know how it works.

    Literally just found one of these in a thrift store AND purchased my first box of Portra this week. What a coincidence. Dope video!

    Maybe it is only me, but a analog photography is much pleasing and looks like real photos - yes, they are. No matter which digital camera I had (expensive DSLR with top lenses) every digital photo looks sort of "chemical" on paper. Now I have simple Ricoh GR which match the best to analog photography. Although I am a big fan for digital photography, analog is more real in my eyes. Thank you Pablo for this.

      get yourself the very first canon 5d, you'll be amazed. The pictures it creates is so film-like it's insane. The pictures straight out of camera are so good you barely have to do any editing.

    • @TimRex
      @TimRex 6 лет назад +4

      I totally agree with you! I never thought I would say this before trying film, but digital photographs are "too perfect" to look natural.

    The Olympus Mju II has a very special place in my heart, because it was the camera that most of our family photos were taken with when I was a child. Unfortunately, we don't have it now but if I ever do get the chance, I would buy one just to relive the experience of taking photos with it and seeing how good the quality of pictures on it was. So I'd like to thank you for reminding me what the photos taken on the camera look like.

      Same here. I use my Canon Sure Shot Telemax at present (the only camera - other than digital - that I've actually owned from new). It's about halfway through a roll of expired (but cold-stored) Superia 100 at present.

    Those photos from the beach look really great. I think this video convinced me to finally get a Mju II. I've been trying to find cheaper alternatives, but after trying a bunch I now think the Mju II is probably worth the extra money.

    Not the Mju but I just shot two rolls of cheap Fuji color film. It was all I could find. I was in Seattle yesterday walking the streets and shopping. Used the Olympus Accura 105 point and shoot. Was very fun to just point and shoot.

    Great to see glimpses of London, really enjoyed seeing Savile Row in a recent film ,where my father worked as a master tailor. Could you possibly have a walk on Hampstead Heath, possibly with drone shots, which was my area of London so would be very nostalgic?. Thanks for your work which is much appreciated.

  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 6 лет назад +2

    Great images, both in composition and choice of film. I’d demolish that little shed and then put a massive windowless one on with running water and electricity and several layers of insulation.
    Put in 3 or 4 different enlargers, a selection of safe lights, a sink and hey presto...a darkroom! A very enjoyable video.

    Well this is a good camera with a good lens, outside of the compact size it is far from the best 35mm film camera ever. Internet bloggers and RUclipsrs have caused the price of this camera to go up unreasonably High. I would never pay as much as these cameras get, is there are so many other options out there.

    Hey Pablo -- just catching up on your channel. What can you tell me about that specific camera? I haven't considered 35mm point-and-shoots as great cameras (love old, unknown rangefinders and classic prosumer SLRs) -- but the photos look great and you obviously like that camera. Also -- I saw in the mirror that you shoot some of your video on a Lumix G80 (I have the US version -- G85 -- and really like it) -- and your composition, focus and use of that camera are great -- can you post some tips? Thanks!!!

    HELP!! My Olympus mju 105 AND my Olympus stylus zoom 140 both automatically rewind completely and don’t stop whirring until I either take out the film canister or the battery (mind you I got the Olympus stylus zoom 140 because I thought it was a malfunction of the mju 105 and it turned out to hOpen in both cameras) :(( I don’t want to waste film or two great cameras! And I’m sure I’m putting in the film correctly because I’ve followed many videos that explain how to insert film correctly, what could I be doing wrong. :(((((

    Hey Pablo, I just have a question with this Point and shoot Camera! I recently got one as well as Kodak Portra 400 film. When you take the images outside do you still use flash? And does this change if it’s cloudy etc. thanks

    • @danieldijo

      Let it auto determine it and it should be find. Sometimes it will want to flash outside and that's okay. You can turn flash off when you find it unnecessary

      Color Plus is surprisingly good, but Portra is better. (finer grain, more accurate colors, more latitude)

    Hello Pablo,
    I was lucky enough to find this camera reecntly.
    I put new battery in the camera. but I didn't buy a new film for it.
    When I slide the door of the cam.. the lens barrel moves front and back and the lcd display says... E
    When I press shutter button, the barrel goes out to the front and stays there. Flash does not pop.
    Is this normal operation? Does yours do the same thing????

    • @keavenwn
      @keavenwn 5 лет назад

      Sounds about right. Try pressing the flash button on the back, press the shutter again and see if the flash activates properly. Normally, the flash is automatically set to go off every time the camera is turned on.

    • @Fjalll
      @Fjalll 6 лет назад +1

      This combo without decent light is a no-go. Use Cinestill 800 film, hold the camera steady and don't forget to turn off the flash every single time you open the camera. Cinestill is expensive but if you want color you'll need a tungsten balanced film otherwise it will turn yellow. I would shoot a black and white film and push it to 1600. Ilford HP5 400 is a great film for pushing.
