    One good thing about the Minolta Weathermatic series (110, 35mm and APS) is the color -- very subtle and stealthy!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Nice! When I've used waterproof cameras in the rain I've added 'Rain-X' to the lens cover - it's a really cheap (around £5) hydrophobic coating made for car windows that lets water run off without any need to wipe it away! It usually lasts a few uses in heavy water before you need to wipe a bit more on. I'm still working my way through the bottle I bought 12 years ago.. I also live in Wales, so I've had to learn to adapt my equipment to the rain 😆

    Damn, I clicked on this to check out a niche film camera and get flashbanged with Cardiff, didn't expect that from my recommended videos. Cool stuff, shouts out from over here in Barry. Maybe I'll see you around when I'm out shooting around out there too✌

    I have 3 110’s, and really like the look. My favorite of yours was the two guys on the bikes. When I lived in Germany I rode my bike and used 110 a lot at various locations.

    cool video, been shooting some 110 myself. BTW the white dots, are i believe, pinholes in the backing paper for the film, on color they are red. i think lomo's backing paper is not as opaque as it could be. i put some light proof black tape over the film counter window, and it seems to help.

  • @lrrowley

    Awesome video! I recently purchased the Minolta Autopak 460tx, and it seems *really* similar to the Weathermatic. I show my first roll of Tiger 200 and actually got pretty good results. I really want to try the Orca next and then maybe Purple or Turquise since I think those "experimental" films will lend themselves well to the smaller 110 negatives. I also have to admit that using the 460tx was a really fun shooting experience too, especially when I turned the camera on its side to take Portrait orientation photos haha. I shot a lot of 110 as a kid but I used toy cameras. These Minolta cameras have great lenses and features, and can be found for cheap!

    • @Eclectachrome
      @Eclectachrome  Год назад

    Some interesting results: I never was a fan of 110 films. But I do have the Minolta Weathermatic 35DL, which is a fun camera to use, although I have never had the guts to stick it underwater. But I have taken it out in snow storms!

    • @Eclectachrome
      @Eclectachrome  Год назад +1

      snow storms sound great! esp with flash. yeah the only reason I stuck it under was because it was so cheap lol any more expensive and I wouldn't be able to do it!

    Pretty good 'resolution' for 110 -- the greys and tendency towards dark exposure reinforces the dinginess of the day.... But that's what you'd expect....
