    Oh Peter, please don’t go to the big darkroom in the sky just yet. 💔😢

    This was delightful and so helpful! I just got one of these cameras and had no idea what I was doing, but I feel like I've got it after watching this. Thanks!

    Peter you'll have me in tears in a minute! I wish you the best with your health. I've enjoyed your educational videos for years. Your knowledge is second to none. When I don't see a video from you in a while I worry! The lens on this one is amazing. Can't wait for the next video. The darkroom in the sky can wait. Sending you good vibes

    Hi from the US and thanks for the video. I have a Bessamatic, too, and have enjoyed it over the decades. I recently have started shooting with it again. This past summer, I shot a couple of rolls with it at Yellowstone (using my 200mm lens at times too). Good camera. I’m being bodacious and I’m planning to shoot with Fujichrome Provia 100 (slides) as spring starts to arrive soon-can’t wait 😎.

    Your health is the most important thing. You must take care of it as you only have one life. Spend you time in the darkroom on earth, not in the sky

    Always enjoy your videos - far more entertaining with genuine pictures & commentary than all of the super slick videos with fancy music, lots of talking and no examples of pictures taken with the actual camera being reviewed - all the best with your health issues

    The numbers you were referring to (by the ASA dial) are compensation numbers for if you are using a filter. I do hope you are better, I enjoy your videos immensely!

    I have seen a couple of these occasionally for sale that looks very tidy.
    Very interesting beast of a camera, looks like cracking engineering.

    For frame counter it ought to be in minus two at least at the start of the film. Minus three maybe?

    Peter i sure hope you are doing better. Hopefully they will get your kidney function back to a tolerable level. I know I’m hardly the only person who would be sad to see you not chasing your dreams and passion. I can bet photography has kept you going for some time now. We love you my friend. Take care of yourself.
