Bonjour, le bouton en bas à droite sous l'objectif est un testeur de profondeur de champ. Je trouve que cette période du début des années 90 est l'une des meilleures : Canon EOS 5, Nikon F90 et Minolta 9 xi. De très beaux appareils argentiques, sûrement les plus aboutis. J'ai eu plusieurs Minolta (600, 700 et 800 SI) et le 9XI est mon préféré : excellente qualité de fabrication, fonctions personnalisables avec la carte "Custom xi", simplicité d'utilisation après adaptation... J'ai aujourd'hui un Nikon F5, et je le trouve moins facile d'utilisation ! J'ai craqué de nouveau pour un autre 9XI, muni de son alimentation BP-9xi, et je l'attends avec impatience, hâte de caresser les courbes de ce beau boîtier. Merci pour la vidéo, bonjour depuis la France.

I bought the Nikon version of the Tokina lens in the 1990s and I recall reading back then that there was an Angenieux connection, as it was a factor in my purchase of that particular lens. Since it predates my internet access, the information must have come from one or more of the magazines or, perhaps, a brochure.

hi ! Yes I totally agree with your review. I got a 159MM that I'm still using to this day, and it's been my favourite because the reasons you mentioned. If I want to use it in fully manual mode, I can, but I can also pass it to someone who knows nothing about cameras if I want to be in a shot, and set it on P mode, the photos are perfect. The lenses are great too, I got a 1.7 50 mm standard on this one. the 1.4 would have been slightly better but I'm not complaining because the price range is different. It's good as it is. I took great shots with it and I love its small, light weight size. Thanks for the review, because as you say correctly, this camera deserves more praise.

Lovely video! Question open to anyone willing to answer: how does the Minolta a9 compare to a Nikon F100? I'm placing my eyes on both but can't decide. I'm particularly interested in the clarity/brightness of the viewfinder and feel. The only way to know that would be to test them both but can't find any place 😢

You are absolutely right! No way I'd buy a $500 Pentax 17, for example, when we have the option to get a $50 Canon EOS 300x with a hell lot more features

Film stock especially slide film is so expensive that you should do your best to get the best results from your 36 frames of a roll. This camera has excellent AF, it can use nodern high quality stabilized EF lenses, and its built-in metering is excellent, too. So, if you prioritize great quality film photos, this is the camera to pick. The other cameras I'd recommend with similar features are Nikon F80 and Minolta Dynax 7 or 7x, but my top pick would be this Canon EOS 300x, absolutely. I really dont understand why people buy old unreliable, terribly restricted, expensive film cameras like Nikon F2 (i have one) or Leica, when the 300x is a million times better and more versatile tool for film photography when result - focus and metering - is important. I am absolutely agree every words you said.

Hi mate my 8000i is flashing Help and I have changed the battery and it still says Help in the display, have you ever experienced this? Thanks

I picked one up from a charity shop, and it seemed to make all the right noises and I thought it was going to be functional. But then I got to the end of the roll and...nothing. I tried the midroll rewind button, and that also did nothing. I guess the next step is to open it up in a dark bag and either rewind it into the cartridge or just skip a step and put it on a reel to develop. If everything otherwise checks out, it might be worth trying to fix.

Just got myself a working one for 20 bucks on accident, looked it up and found your video Greal video on it, helped me a lot and made me even happier I got it!

I need help, I've gotten the super 2000 and I don't know what lenses I can buy to put on it

My vote for half frame GOAT: PEN FV with OM lens adapter 28mm OM prime and the tack sharp 28-48mm F4 OM zoom. The cameras that will be of interest to photographers are pending. The Pentax 17 is meant for young folks that want to try film photography for the first time, moving up from disposables.

Very nice video. I own 4 Tokina 28-70 2.6 and use for multicam purposes. Great lenses. Actually bought them very cheap some years back very much because of the story of angeniuex glass inside. Funny how the price increases also because there is this other version of the lens with f2.8 and not 2.6. I read that the 2.8 was not angeniuex glass anymore and this is still the thing people believe considering the used price different between them. Recently I read online, don't know if its true of course, that the lens was marketed with 2.6-2.8 for the European market and 2.8 in the Japanese market. Not a far fetched idea since the 2.8 lens is in tokinad list of legacy lenses and it is also noted that it is "also known as 2.6-2.8" so it should be the same lens in fact. The 2.8 is about a fifth of the price of a 2.6. just bought a 2.8 for abou 150dollars and will test it side by side with my other 4 2.6. Even thought there seems to be myth with the ang. glass these lenses are very good if you need compact zoom glass for 100% manual functionality.

F5 or F6..

Minolta reigned supreme! It was a camera designed by photographers for photographers, all the other cameras at the time were designed by engineers for photographers. I'm just sad that the pride and mismanagement got the better of the company..

very useful! thank you. did you do the workflow explanation for final cut as well and I was just too dumb to find it? please say yes!

I bought mine new for 1200 USD. Best lens I've ever used. I've basically replaced my zoom, my 35, my 50 and my 80 with this. I still keep the 50 in my kit for the lower aperture but I find I don't need it often.

I have a K1 and K5. Now as to toughness. The K1 actually isn't that fantastic. On the K5 it's basically all metal body except the pop up flash. Now on the K1 the main body is mental. But the top cap which holds all the twiddling dials. Is a plastic fantastic. And they commonly crack when dropped. They also crack if you put too much strain on the hot shoe. In fact it so flimsy I wouldn't use the hot shoe. Apart from that it's fantastic.

Its a new film from fuji, made in USA. Some people says that it's Kodak Gold in green package. Old fujicolor c200 was made in Japan. Their colors are different.

Yes, we used the R4 in the ‘80’s for pro work. They were high selling because you had to buy two bodies so that you could use one while the other was being repaired!

Nikon F3. Masterpiece. And you can configure it as you wish.

Leica M3

Best camera is Globus K 5x7 with dry plates and brass lens Suter Basel 210mm from 1900s

I have an R8 that is beautiful, but stopped working a couple of years ago. Could be tempted to to get an R4 to use my 7 R lenses. I often looked at the Contax as well, but don't have a single lens for it.

If you're going for the most compact, mechanical, manual SLR, I have to go for the Pentax MX. Wayyy better viewfinder vs OM-1, swappable focus screen, and it can use modern glass like the 43mm limited, or the older 40mm Pentax-M. Great coverage of the options though, and you can't go wrong with an Olympus in that slot 😁

I love the OM-1, but the OM-2 more. I understand what you're saying on running without batteries, but I've been shooting with battery-powered film cameras since the 80s with no trouble. I always had a spare.

Great video, thanks, much appreciated! I admit I only maybe miss a couple of sample shots obtained with this combo as a final complementary bonus, but all important facts are actually provided. Pkease keep up with the good work!

The Pentax MZ-S does not have a big color LCD on the back like the one you show in this video. Looks like a digital camera to me. Which one is it really?

Hi. Very interesting video. I'm an absolute beginner in Analogue and I've been shooting various Kodak cine films from analogue revival due to the cost effectiveness vs dedicated still camera film. I've been developing at home and scanning on a cheap Epson scanner. I'm upgrading to a DSLR scanning setup imminently. I've never used Photoshop or really done any editing of my pics yet. I was wondering if you use a specific tool in your software to do this or do you need knowledge of photo editing to achieve this? I video on using whatever software you use specifically with cine film would be fantastic if you're ever stuck for ideas! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Nope. The opposite of classic elegance. Enjoy it nonetheless.☕👍

Love my Nikon F3 but I will never get rid of my F and F2

Nice video. I guess it is different for each one of us as to what is the best film camera. I usually tended to gravitate towards my plastic fantastic Nikon F75 until recently for it's small size, awesome feature set for what it was marketed as and the ability to put on some amazing Nikon glass. I now also have acquired an F80, a significantly minor upgrade over the F75 but phenomenal nonetheless. Else it is the Canon EOS Elan 7E for the Canon side of things. And on the mechanical side, it is usually the Pentax K1000 or the Nikon FM2n or F2 which is a monster camera. Cheers!

OM 1n. small, sturdy and aesthetically the most beautiful camera ever.

I prefer battery-independent manual/mechanical film cameras. The Pentax Spotmatic is one of my favorites. Spotmatics only need batteries for the camera's built-in light meter.

Very interesting. I've never considered getting one.

Enjoyed the video! Serial number that starts with 5 is most likely gonna have brass mirror motor cog. I had one with the battery grip. I have never missed an exposure with this camera. I agree it is a great camera though I sold it off because I just couldn't justify keeping it. I replaced it with the cheaper black MZ-3 with a factory brass cog. I also have the MZ-6 with a factory brass cog. The MZ cameras have a bad reputation of breaking because of the plastic cogs that break but if one can find copies with brass cogs, they are really good cameras and the metering is quite spot on. Not to mention that modern lenses can be used on them. I am using the latest HD FA 35mm f2. Ah but of course I have the F 28mm 2.8 just because this is a 28mm channel.

Yes, a great camera because of its diminutive size, its ergonomics and the fact that all old A and new Pentax glass will function perfectly. Funny this video as I am currently on the lookout for one. A proper one😇

EOS 3 is my go-to. I would love to use Pentax as my main, but I only have one autofocus lens system at this point, and I need good video capabilities and a flip screen. Hopefully the K1iii add both of those features, at which point I'd switch in a heartbeat.

The socket on the front which you said was probably to do with flash is actually for a remote control.

Great video, I wanted to get one, and was wandering how the mechanics works, so thanks for explanation. PS : just to clarify Belarusian, so it BelaruSian and not ruSHen is not a brand of Russian it was comes from Rus that was a modern Ukraine back in a days.

Do you have any suggestions if you forgot to turn on SD card(proxy) on your Canon camera? I did this by mistake for the first few clips, and now I would like to CREATE PROXY with the same color that Canon produces on their proxies.

I could barely understand what was said.

Still have a 801s, it was my main 35mm SLR for 15-years, until my first DSLR, heavy but capable, a joy to use, loved the sound of the built in motor drive. Perhaps it lacks the prestige of other cameras, but don’t intend to part with it!

The eye focus control works brilliantly for me, there is also a DoF sensor in the top left of the screen, which you didn't mention. I get the feeling you don't really know this camera very well. The top plate, by the way, is metal not plastic! In all the years I've been using my 50e the door latch has never failed. The 50e is a quality SLR camera which, like anything else, needs to be looked after and handled with respect.

Awesome review, thank you Gavin! Now that you have used both the EOS 300x as well as the EOS 30, which one you prefer the most when taking out for a shoot? Are any of the features of EOS 30 (physical dials for drive / AF) worth the extra weight and size?

Just picked up a nice body, instructions, boxed on eBay for £22 plus delivery, waiting for delivery but looks nice in the photos and all working acording to the listing. Much more affordable than F100 which seems to be about £270 and more than I wanted to spend for a bit of fun.

I have one of these had from new when they first came out.i have 2 lenses bith zeis 50mm 1.7 and a 135 planer .also i got one of the TLA flashes.TLA30 .. amazing camera never regretted getting it.one thing to note i believe it was one of the first cameras to have TTL flash metering.set to full suto on flash fill on flash outside on a bright day really workedso well sometimes i would put a light soft focus filter with the TTL flash results stunning .i dug mone out the other day going to recover it but everything else seems in good order enjoy the camera folks

Great video on filters, thanks.

IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA LIKE THE GH6 OR MORE ADVANCED YOU DON'T NEED A MONITOR THAT RECORDS (LIKE THE BM) BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE GOOD RESOLUTION OUTPUTS, ON THE OTHER HAND THE MONITOR METERS ARE USELESS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE IMAGE, THAT IS, EITHER YOU SEE THE IMAGE OR YOU SEE GRAPHICA, JUST BUY A REGULAR MONITOR WITH SCOPES AND THAT'S IT.I'M RETURNING MINE FOR THAT REASON

o sea hablas de la g5 y anuncias gh6? mucha habladera y no directo al punto

A medium format camera in a full frame body. My sony a7riii is collecting dust since i bought this beast, i have k1 ii though, basically the same camera with some minor upgrades, but the AF is way better now.
