Great photos! As always. I love my Rollei 35. I agree, it's surprising what great photos little guy can produce.
A very different approach from what I was used to. Not to be able to manually focus is quite confusing at the beginning but then you get more and more confident and start enjoying it :) Thank you
Great! It is not about the camera, but about the man behind it :) I envy your capability to see in black and white!
The photo at 7:44! So good, you got my sub
Your video presentations are always nice to watch, your street photography skills and choice of music blends so good together. Big fan of your work!
Very nice pics and I like that you used B&W film. I am about to purchase a Rollei B35 as my first film camera. I hope it performs about the same!
I really like your pics. Thank you. I have Rollei 35 on order. I couldn't afford them back in the day.
Le rollei 35 est un formidable boitier pour les sujets en immersion à faible lumière ou fort contraste, on peu voir à 7.44 une superbe photo qui reflète bien l'esprit du boitier, à contrario de certaines photos ou le gris est fade avec des cadres sans grand interêt, je recommande vivement ce petit bijoux, pour shooté avec depuis presque 15 ans déjà 👌🏻 une merveille
Very nice! The Rollei 35 isn't for everyone, but it's definitely on my bucket list.
Beautiful photos with a lovely camera. I have the rollei35 thats made in Singapore. You are right as there isn't any metering and you have to estimate but true that its small and works like a tank. Great treasure to hand down to future generations
Zone focusing takes some practice! Some cool shots and a wonderful little camera
Thank You Frank ! Yes, actually this is the first time I've experimented zone focusing, I am not ready to try shooting a portrait at f/2.8 for example ;)
Whoa, you got the fancy f/2.8 Sonnar model! I had one of those too. Now, I have the regular f/3.5 Tessar. Going to get the f/3.5 Triotar in the B35 model, so I can have the batteryless selenium light meter. I never use shutter speeds below 1/30 sec. on this camera anyway; I may as well have the cleaner design. ;)
Pic @ 18:30 is great. The flare worked out perfectly.
As for the design, check out the Wikipedia page on the Rollei 35. It has an interesting history! The designer quit his job for developing the camera on his own initiative using company resources. He had to find another company to build it. Then, it turned out to be one of the most popular compact camera designs of the 60s and 70s.
As for your light meter, I guess you used a separate one? Yes, not convenient.
I have a Rollei 35 with working light meter, but the one I want is the budget model, the B35, with the selenium light meter that doesn't need a battery. Its front is also cleaner, due to not having the knobs on the front leather grip area.
Do you have a negative scanner, or did you scan prints.
Thanks for sharing and putting the time into this video.
It's a great little camera. so much more reliable than battery operated point and shoots!
Some really good images. The Rollei 35 is a tough camera to use in a hurry, especially in low light with wide apertures. I know from experience.
Lovely shutter sound.
Note: keep the old fixer and use it as the first fix in a 2 fix process for Kodak TMax films, this will ensure that you clear that pink anti-halation layer.
Good to know, thank you for these precious informations @mamiyapress
I love your photos! Great job!
Thank you Aneta :))
you should make more of these man
I lo e your videos, and the music very cool.
Recently I was in Paris doing street photography with a Parisian friend. I have to say , I,m in love with this city,
Nice video! That Rollei looks like a lot of fun :)
i like the composition of many of the photos..that's you,..not the camera which produces results that can be matched with most little digital cameras used in manual mode. Thanks for the video.
J'adore ton travail, c'est une vraie source d'inspiration! Keep on going :)
Ravi de pouvoir t'inspirer, I will :)
It's earned a place.i watch this and expect results.
Very nice shots, and the music did pretty much fit the mood, But personally I do prefer the live voice, or the voice over vs just music and text. But, great shots!!
Your pictures have a very different look from other photography channels on youtube. you have "la finesse" que bien d'autres n'ont pas.. keep it on mate
I really appreciate your comment :) THank You
A hole pack of Kodak film. It must be precious like toilet paper!
I got one of these Rollei cameras the 35S model and I paid £27.00 for it from a charity shop in London and It got original camera case and lens cap and strap and front lens filter and my one gives fantastic photos as long as you know how to use it
great content!! big fan!!
How nice camera I bought..♥ I'm really expecting how my first roll will be.
Try portra.. the color from this is stunning.
great job!!
hi I’m a new fan of your contents of film photography! I just want to ask you how do you made the little camera under the rollei thx ♥️
Nice pics.
I for one of these cameras and I paid £27.00 for it second hand and comes with a original case and lens cap and strap and I got a front filter for it as well which is very hard to find and I use my one In night clubs and for wedding events
Can I have your insta please.... I would love to check out the night club photo
bellissime foto great photo!!!
What is the thing you attached to the hot shoe?
HI, VANDAN Im looking to purchase a Rollei 35s.. My question to you is do you like the Rollei 35s ?
Have you tried ilford pan f film with the Rollei??
I won't recommand this camera as a first one, it requires a bit of practice. To be honest, it's by far one of the most camera I've tried so far.
On the other side, I alway take a lot of pleasure to use it, it's challenging not to be able to focus with your eyes but by guessing the distance.
I won't recommand shooting with a slow film, since you have to choose a small aperture in other to maximize your chances to get your subject in focus, I would rather use a faster film. But saying that it depends on the type of pictures you want, with a tripod it shoud be ok or if you like long exposure shots.
And of course it's just a personal opinion :)
I've used pan f with mine when I had it. This camera is somewhat of a challenge to use. Nothing is really helping you out. You can zone focus in strong light easily (unlike the pics in this video show), but as the light gets dimmer, and you start opening up the aperture, your ability to judge distances becomes more important. I would recommend using a small rangefinder if you want to use larger apertures, at closer distances in dimmer light..but carrying a rangefinder, or a tripod, more of less negates the whole point of this camera, which is its small size. It all depends on your subject, and technique as well. I would have expected better images with 400 on a sunny day, so pan f in this instance may have been a disaster. Your actual results may vary, although it is entirely possible to get good results. It depends how much you want to torture yourself. There are far better cameras.
help help is this a good camera for a newbie
I would not recommend this particular camera if you begin in photography. As a newbie, you should start with a SLR (for instance Canon A-1, Nikon FE2 or any other brand, there are plenty choices in the market for good price). It really depends if you need an automation (aperture priority/shutter speed priority/auto mode) or if you want to stick if a fully manual camera and do your own settings. I like aperture priority cameras but if I have to choose I would choose a fully mechanical one (like the Nikon FM2). Hope it will help you to choose yours. Cheers
Where do you get your films from and what action cam are you using?
Good advise. Thanks !
Hi Vandan, im looking for this camera so could u please tell me where did u buy this one? Thanks
Hello Vandan
I'd like to ask you where did you find this camera so cheap. I was looking for one on Ebay but sadly, they are much more expensive...
anyone knows the camera used to film???????????????
really good!
Thanks :)
Hey guys, if you want to switch directly to the shooting part, please go at 4:17
VanDan wow，it looks like a brand new 35s. How can u buy a new one like this?
Hello Shuai, it looks in good condition but actually the camera has a problem, it cannot rewind the film and the seller didn't notice me about this issue. Be careful when you buy online.
ok，merci bcp!
hi, can you show me where to buy that film camera?
May you try taking some color pictures in one video?:-)
I will !
Hi, @4:08 which digi camera are you using? I am also looking for a POV cam with long battery life etc
Love your vids!
Thanks Huh, It's a Mobius Cam v2 but I don't recommand it, the battery is very disappointing.
(If you look closely, you will notice a cable at 10:08 actually I was obliged to plug an external battery to constantly load it in order to record my shots).
If you have the budget, go for a GoPro.
Thanks VanDan for your answer......i
HELLLLPPPPPPP! My Rollei 35 won’t wind the film :( I made sure the lens is pulled and locked and it still won’t wind the film. Is there any way to fix this? Anyones help is appreciated :(
Did you ever get this figured out?
9:32 et 9:50, juste géniales, bravo !
Merci ! Étonné aussi par le rendu de ces photos, particulièrement celle à 9:50
Salut ! J'ai une question à propos du rollei 35 S, comment est-ce que se fait la mise au point ?
Salut Joan, le Rollei 35 étant un appareil compact sans télémètre, la mise au point se fait au jugé, c-a-d que tu dois estimer la distance à laquelle se trouve le sujet et ensuite reporter ton estimation sur la bague de mise au point. Il vaut mieux donc préférer une petite ouverture du diaphragme pour avoir une plus grande plage de netteté pour avoir le sujet en focus.
someone's selling this for ~350USD here. It looked like it's in excellent condition and comes with strap, mercury battery, lens filters and the manual. I think the price is too high. can anyone give their thought on this? should I offer a lower price and if so, how much? thank you
+Adriana Syakirah Hello Adriana, I think this offer is overpriced, here in France you can find a 35SE for around 200$ only, so in my opinion you should wait for a more interesting offer. Hope you'll find one soon ;)
VanDan Thank you for replying! the film photography community is so small here and everyone's selling their old 2nd hand cameras at a very high price :(
I just got one with the original flash and pouch for $240... I would definitely encourage you to look at eBay auctions because u can really pick up something good!
Hi :) i have a question
where do you buy your rollei? im from mexico and i really want one u.u i being searching for a long time and nothing please if you can please recomend me a website or something to buy it u.u
Ebay is a good place to get film cameras, but you might have to buy one from a different country. Consider taxes etc
Did you ever find one?
It can take a picture. I only liked one of the shots.
Dont forget to recock your shutter ;)
that's what happened at 8:45 I missed his hand gesture :)
would you be interested in selling camera?
Still looking? There is a sweet one on eBay right now. Of course I saw it after spending double for mine 2 days ago - LOL.
FOR FUCK SAKE DITCH THE MUSAK.
love this series! but you shouldn't take other people without their permission it's definitely a crime in korea
에메랄드 In most European countries, taking pictures of people is completely legal as long as you don't publish them. The more important downside is that some people might get rather angry about it 😅
I was only able to watch up to the 5:18 time. What part of the third world was this filmed in? I'm not sure if this was in Africa or Asia or maybe a former colony like Ceylon or something like that.
Paris!
Lol, it's pretty bad I hear
Mmm, you appear to have the ability to make a very capable camera and great film to look pretty rubbish. I'd use another technique if I were you
how do you know what settings do you need every shot?
I've used a mobile app to measure the light. Since it was a bright day, I was at f/8 & 1/250 I think.
Then when I know what are the good settings I just adapt the shutter speed or the aperture (for instance If I decide to move from f/8 to f/5.6 (1 stop), then instead of shooting at 1/250, I shoot at 1/500.
But as I've mentionned, with this camera, it is better not to choose a large aperture because the focus range will be reduced, increasing your chance not to get your subject in focus; unless you are good at guessing the distance (which I am not at). This is obviously not an easy camera to use, but having this camera is a good exercice to improve at zone focusing and guessing the right exposure (if the lightmeter does not work like mine)
