    I've tried to find a place like this for years. Turns out it's an hour's drive from my home.

    Since this was filmed, it certainly appears that a lot of their cameras have been sold. It looks like they do a fantastic renovation on their cameras. Buying a renovated camera is the way to go. A lot of cameras sold on Craigslist, Ebay, ect are not working or have hidden flaws that won't show up until you're first roll of film is developed.. Glad to see that there are some people that are learning this dying craft. In fact, my last camera repairman died, my current repairman is 78. I just went through my collection to get my favorite cameras serviced. I am afraid he will retire or die.

    I have a nice small collection, including one of the original Kodak Brownie cameras, circa 1900. It was in a box I bought for the small sum of $10 at a garage sale, that included several other antique cameras. A sort of barn find of cameras. Some are still in amazing condition. It's always puts a big smile on my face when I see them.

  • @HeyPatch
    @HeyPatch 4 года назад +2

    Man, those boxes of lenses that they don’t sell online is a shame... they could sell them online as a mystery box of lenses, 3 or 4 random lenses in a box, For people like us who love finding weird lenses and do whatever it takes to stick them on our camera, just to see what happens.
    Great video 👍

      @@kaehmper 90 per cent of the time I buy from real shops that also sell their articles on there. Where I live there are luckily many of them. This always gives me the right to send stuff back and sometimes even offers me a warranty for 12 months.
      I rarely place a bid on articles sold by private sellers and overall the prices still have been much more "normal" and realistic in my experience than what I could see on their website, for example. I mean, sure, if people have the money for it... But with film photography I'd definitely recommend looking quite a bit around before deciding to really go for something. Often I see people asking for/paying double or even three times more than what's fair and I can't really see why, because it simply doesn't have to be like that. Film photography is precious in many ways but overpriced is still overpriced, not matter how big our passion is.

      To keep ISO (Older guys used to call it ASA) same as manufactured date. In other words, to freeze its aging process. Don't forget, films are chemicals on the gelatin and do age, deteriorate. If you keep them on the room temperature, when and if used, passed the expiry date, you need to use higher ISO. By how much? You need to run a test roll. That is if you have adequate stock of that old films otherwise your guess cold be as good as mine or may be not!! ( ; -)
