    Love your take on old lenses and cameras. Great to see you taking a dive into the world of collecting old cameras. There is something amazing about looking through a camera made in 1902 and realize that long before you walked the earth there was someone looking though the very same viewfinder to grab a picture of their family. I took an old Kodak box camera out the other day and did just that. Of the roll I only got one useable image (understanding the shutter speed took a bit of time) but the image was amazing. Forget sharp, this was wonderfully soft, forget bokeh, everything was in focus and the light fall off was dramatic.

    I loved your old videos from "that other" channel when you used older gear, or explained why the Leica M or certain lenses were so important. I think a lot of your viewers agree that the process of looking at, learning about, and using gear is, unashamedly, half the fun sometimes. Not every walk-around results in jaw dropping images, but it can still be fun and relaxing just for the tactile, visual and intellectual experience. I have had several film and digital Ms (currently the M10), but never the Monochrom variants, and now I am teetering precariously on the edge. If I watch Ragnar Axelsson's earlier Monochrom video again I will fall right over....

    I go to the flea market every other weekend or so, especially in the summer. I've found so many old lenses and I've bought a handful. My favorite are Canon FD lenses. I have adapters for all my cameras, like my Samsung NX's and my Panasonic GX85. I've got quite a few great ones. My best find is the old Canon FD 50mm f1.4, I use it for almost everything at this point. If I ever get into the Fujifilm system, I'm getting that FD adapter.

I have others of different brands and formats as well. luckily for me my partner is into photography and collecting old cameras too so I never have to explain to her why I must have that lens or camera...lol..she's just 'cool...can I have a play with it too?' got to love that :-) that Leica was just gorgeous, I want one of their film rangefinders one day, till then I have a Leica R8, R5 and V-lux 4 digital to use. the film ones are my favourites though, beautiful cameras to shoot with.
