Thank you all for the time you take to watch my videos!

B is for shooting on low light environment when shooting without a flash. The only time you want to use it is when you're shooting it with a tripod on a dark place. This setting is also ideal for light painting.
My husband just bought me one for my birthday. Your video really helped me figure out how to use it.
i love your song recommendation thing, its genius. Ive never seen anybody do this and im inspired.
Thanks a lot Rodrigo 😎
Cool! I got this as a birthday present last year and just opened last night. Didn't know how to shoot at first but now I can practice with your guides. Thanks!
Great stuff!
@@maxkent btw i subscribed and liked this video! keep it up! also, do you have ig? wonder if you post some tips there as well
Very informative nice little video keep up the good work
Hey man. I’m hoping to get one of these little point and shoots to experiment with shooting film. I’ve been using my dad’s digital SLR but I love the idea of shooting film, just because it makes you think about your subject instead of clicking away mindlessly.
I’m hoping to get some lomo 92 film too and try it out if we get a nice sunny but cool day on the beach near where I live. It should bring out the blue tint of the film quite nicely :).
Thanks for the detailed review. 😊
Class review thank you :)
Glad you liked it!
great video man !!👍🏻
Thanks man
"Moonlight Mile" is 10/10. Also, this is the best overview of this camera that I've seen.
Thanks a lot!!
As someone wrote, the tripod mount is for the bulb mode. I also want to point out for beginners that you don't need to hold the shutter open for 30 sec or more, it all depends of what ISO your roll is and if there are any light sources in the scene you're shooting. Thanks for a nice review and great song recommendation :)
Great overview. I agree that although the booklet and box is great, I did find a lack of explanation of what the buttons do to be frustrating.
better than coming out all black. i once shot the LCA+ and the aperture blades were apparently stuck and lost the whole roll. never was able to get it fixed.. replaced it.
The N and B is similar to the Holga ... I did shoot a whole roll on B not realizing what i did ... live and learn!!!
Definitely an easy mistake to make!
Cool, Re: song rec, heard the intro of Moonlight Mile on a TV show or Film recently, didn't realise it was the Rolling Stones, really nice. It might have been on The Sopranos, can't remember
The camera looks sick, might get one for holiday, looks really fun to play with getting weird shots
Awesome video, i was wondering why I couldn't load the film
The bulb setting is why there's a hole at the bottom of the camera to screw it onto a tripod mount. The makers probably knew that the camera has some trouble in low light situations, so they wanted to give an option to counter that. There's actually quite a few (nicer) point and shoots that have the bulb setting.
Yep! No way you’d use it otherwise, I just wasn’t expecting it at all!
Could you recommend some nicer point and shoots with the bulb setting
@@mr.moosetache3615 Pentax ESPIO, Canon Sure Shot, and a more affordable option: Pentax IQzoom. Just remember that the bulb setting is for when you need the shutter to manually stay open for 30 seconds or longer. Since these are point and shoots the image will almost always be blurry, so if you are needing a film camera for long, manual, exposures I would recommend an SLR rangefinder (ie- pentax k1000). Basically a step up from point and shoot cameras without the complexity of a full on film SLR camera.
@@mr.moosetache3615 A bunch of the Lomo cameras do bulb, too. Sprocket Rocket has the same 1/100th vs Bulb shutter style, as well as Diana and Holga (which isn’t Lomo, but similar). The Lomo LC-A line also sort of have bulb modes. They’re autoexposure, but in low light they will take really long exposures-effectively a bulb mode. I don’t have an LC-A, but reviews indicate that they meter and expose rather reliably with the long exposure shots.
Just got this camera!!! Almost done with my first roll 😁😁😁 Great video.
where did you buy it? their official website says it comes in march :(
@@makesushi My local camera store in Huntsville, Alabama. :( I had no idea they weren’t released on the website yet
That mountain area is beautiful! Where is it? Thanks for the review, so helpful. I just brought myself one and I’ll be sure to keep it on N mode!!
Hey Sophie, it’s The Roaches, in the Peak District! Thanks
I got one recently, the wideangle takes a little bit to get used to, kept getting my hair in shots haha
There's also another fantastic song called Moonlight Mile by The Babies. You might like it as well!
As for the camera, it definitely looks fun but I honestly can't wait to see manufacturers releasing new film cameras for more 'serious work' (for lack of a better word). Let's go Pentax!
Oo okay, I’ll have to check it out!
Yeah! I know what you mean but I’m never sure what to expect when it comes to ‘new’ film cameras. I think one of the selling points of old film cameras is that they’re affordable. If they release the Pentax K1000 again then idk what price point it’ll be but it might be a bit pointless. So it’ll be interesting to see what they produce and at what cost!
@@maxkent For sure yeah, I think for many (me included) the hope is that this Pentax project will amount to the release of a 'professional' film camera for a somewhat reasonable price - as opposed to the M6 re-release for like 5500€ haha
Hmm, yeah but how much better would that be compared to something like the Nikon F6?
I’ve gotta say I haven’t looked into this at all so I need to do some reading first!
Hey,
I’d like a simple film camera to take general photos with. How does this one compare to the Kodak h35? If this camera can produce double exposure, does that mean it can be a half frame as well?
Thank you
Hey! I’d suggest the H35. The lomo can’t shoot half frame.
Alternatively for a similar price you could get a Pentax Espio 738s or an Olympus AF-10 (neither shoot half frame but they’re both better in terms of image quality).
I recently bought one in beige color, it looks very stylish, it is very fun to shoot with kaleidoscope lens and colored flash gelatin. The best part is creating different enjoyable photos without making many technical adjustments.
What I can mention as a minus is that it is very difficult to advance the film to move on to the next frame after shooting, the jagged part is difficult to turn. And the back cover cannot be opened far enough, it is made of a flimsy plastic, I tried to open it more by mistake, thinking it was like the other metal cameras I have used, and back cover broke easliy. and cried 😭
Hi! May I get your suggestion/opinion/input on whether or not using an expired film would work on the lomoapparet. As in like if I will get the similar expired vibes effect as a more advanced slr film camera✌️
It depends how expired it is because you don’t really have any control over your settings to manually overexpose your film. If it’s more than 10 years out of date you may have quite under exposed photos!
@@maxkent OHH THANK YOU!
What film would you recommend using in this camera? I was about to get fuji X-tra 400 or just plain kodak 400, are these bad choices?
Either would be great!
@@maxkent thank you, sorry just starting out and I’m still figuring things out
It's heartbreaking that you lost the photos you intended in that gorgeous setting. But real talk I loooooove the surreal fog world of all the "ruined" photos you flicked through quickly.
Hello, I was wondering how you would describe the view through the viewfinder? Is the view big, bright and clear? Thanks so much
The viewfinder is good and clear but i forgot to say it is completely covered when you use a filter!
@@maxkent good to note. I just got one, haven’t used the filters though. The reason I ask about the viewfinder is because mine seems a bit odd and I’m just comparing notes. The view through my viewfinder is what I would describe as far away, and small. since you’ve used a bunch of other film cameras, would you say that the view finder in the apparat is similar or very different to other film cameras?
@@aaronsazon2835 I think this is to replicate the 21mm field of view. But I don’t have it to hand. But yeah I suspect it’s to show you what will actually be in frame
@@maxkent I can see that being the case. I hope you’re right, the view is taking a bit to get used to. Thanks so much for your responses!
@@maxkent hi! Is this the case for all filters, or just the splitzer? (Great video, btw!!)
I just purchased an Apparat and the the view through the viewfinder seems a bit not clear:( if this normal ?
Same
I’m a newbie any recommendations on color film for this camera? Ektar 100? Thanks!
I wouldn’t get ektar 100 for this, I’d use something that’s either 200/400 iso
@@maxkent if he was still around it would be interesting to see what art Saul Leiter could have made with this camera.
Isn't viewfinder obstructed when you use splitzer?
Yes it is, it’s a weird design flaw but I don’t think it’s that significant, the lens is so wide, you’ll know what’s in shot
I just bought it and filling it with Kodak Gold 200 35mm, but when it's get to 24 exp, tge wheel got pretty hard to slide. Can u help me?
I assume you bought a roll of 24 rather than 36
@@maxkent i had my 36 xp, but after using it for the 24, the gliders getting hard to slide. I had to use my nails to move the gliders. Does it affect by the film i use?
05:14 very sharp image. How do you scan it?
I use a company called FilmDev, who are amazing in my opinion!
1 stupid question, how to know when is enough when I scroll the film to take the next pic😅, and how to know when 1 film roll is end
Could you tell me the songs that you used in your video? Also, since I am Vietnamese, I wholeheartedly endorse stuffing you face with my people's food! lol You gotta come out to the the SF Bay Area and have some!
Hey Christopher, they were all from Epidemic Sounds, where I get all of my music for videos! I can’t remember what they are! I’ve been to SF but I wasn’t as into Vietnamese food then! I’ll have to come back
@@maxkent Could you take a look again in your editing software what the song titles were?
i went 14 pictures on B before i thought, huh, what's B/N difference? 💀thank you for the easy explanation! NO B!!!!
😊🙏
If you play analog you will know whats B stands for. Its on every analog camera and its same for every brand.
Even if you shot normal, the pictures most likely would have been bad since you only have 1 FStop. F10 is partly sunny.
I find the ergonomics of lomo cameras confusing, why is the on switch on the front, where it cannot be seen from the shot taking position, why does the on switch have three positions the one opposite off not being the most commonly used setting ? These are not cameras set up for The Vital Moment, but seem to aspire to the complexities of bellows cameras.
stupid beginner's questions, where do i see have many shots are left ?
Small window on the top shows you a number, that number is how many shots you’ve taken. So you’ll either have 24 or 36 depending on what film you used
thank you! i think i found it.
and other stupid question,
when sb shoot with a non compact camera, push the button and turn the lever,
point and shoot cameras don't have a lever, so i just pudh the button?
i ask bc i feel i m doing sth wrong
@@teochroniou7175 press the button then wind it on using the dial that’s underneath the shooting button
Whew!!! Thank you! I really dreaded being a "dumbass" like you!!! Just joking!!! Thank you for the warning about Bulb mode, but I am familiar with it. Have been debating adding the Apparat to my collection -- I think that I will now as there is a Valentine's Day sale going on. And wow -- Moonlight Mile is even early for me! I was 8 when that was released! But yep -- sometimes the Stones just fit as a 'soundtrack' to life -- Cheers!!!
Ah genius, Lomography bring out a camera called Apparat, which in Russian in the old times, meant camera. What next? Nice photos though. Thank you.
Almost all cameras have a b setting, how wouldn’t you know that??
