    Your locations are so full of atmosphere - an endless supply of photo captures. A while back I picked up a Sure Shot 150u at a thrift shop for (gasp) $3.00. It can be used as a simple point and shoot but also has a rich complement of advanced settings.

    I just found the one my mom used in the 90s for a lot of my childhood pictures and I’m excited to try it out. I normally use a canon f-1 (new) so I’m not expecting to get the best shots with it but I’ve always loved looking through old photo albums and I’m happy I get to recreate that for my kids.

    I always enjoy your insight into these point-and-shoot cameras. The sign shot at 7:10 is my favorite.
    I noticed you used Ilford film in Milford, 😅👍.
    Nice music. So cool that you used Mike’s music. A supporter of film photography.

    • @theoldcameraguy
      @theoldcameraguy  2 года назад +2

      Thanks Jim - I didn’t think of the Ilford/Milford connection haha. Mike is very self deprecating, but he really is a great ambassador for the film photography community. My next video features his music as well.

    Some great grungy buildings and signs in Milford Center but the Owl didn't quite do them justice. It's not a horrible camera, just not crisp enough for me. Maybe other versions or years are better.

    • @theoldcameraguy
      @theoldcameraguy  2 года назад +1

      Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed haha. No one’s going to mistake it for a Yashica T4

  • @AndrewWaltonPhotography
    @AndrewWaltonPhotography 2 года назад +5

    It didn't look bad for a two dollar camera, what do they go for now? Point and shoots seem to be picking up in value on eBay over here too. It's got to the point where you can pick up a DSLR for less with some models.

    • @theoldcameraguy
      @theoldcameraguy  2 года назад +3

      I’ve seen them for about $30, but a lot of times that’s untested.

  • @robertknight4672
    @robertknight4672 9 месяцев назад +1

    I have a Samsung Spetrum 20 with the same setup for flash control with the two buttons on the front. It's the only other camera I've seen like that. I ran a roll of Superia 400 through it with good results. My camera has a blue translucent front and you can see the circuit board. I believe you could also get them in green.

    i literally just bought this camera and i feel like a loser asking this. when the film is done what do i do? i saw that there is a small button to rewind but, will the button on top out all the film back in place?

    • @theoldcameraguy
      @theoldcameraguy  2 года назад +2

      On the Owl, the film will automatically rewind after you take the last shot on the roll. You don’t actually have to push any buttons.

    Hey! when shooting with this camera im getting some pictures that are only focused in the center but the rest is blurry, might be because of the distance im from the phorographed object? help please :)

    • @theoldcameraguy
      @theoldcameraguy  Год назад +1

      I haven’t seen that problem. Usually if the distance to the subject is off, the center will be blurry too.
