Fantastic shots! What lens were you using for this footage if you don't mind sharing? Also any info about the lens/filter used for those kaleidoscope style shots?

Thank you for making this film and for the approach you took. It was really enjoyable to read instead of listening, but listening here added another dimension instead.

Look, I don't mean to poop all over your parade but you are using A-wind film. When that feeds to the gate, you are exposing through the base. Not good. You need B-Wind to run through a Special. The blower was a nice touch, though.

Another good tip for shooting with this soviet beauty is to overexpose by about one stop, maybe slightly less when shooting in direct sunlight. Then, in post when you do color correction and exposure correction, the contrast will look a lot nicer. Great video, I just subscribed!

How can you manually do the aperture

@pantaxstudios 5 ай бұрын

The aperture selection wheel at 1:27 operates the needle in the viewfinder allowing you to select desired aperture in manual mode. The wheel goes between iris fully open (0) to closed (C). Make sure you leave this wheel at the fully open position if using auto exposure mode. Hope this helps!

@MichaelBallif 2 ай бұрын

@@pantaxstudios Have you ever used an ND filter on this camera with manual aperture? I'm curious if it will give an accurate readout in the viewfinder meter.

Great video! I have one of these cameras, I was wondering about the film holders. In the the video you load a holder that has a raised ridge, but when I looked at my camera it has a ridge where the film holder fits. Is this just the design of the camera or is it meant for film holders with a slot rather than a ridge? Maybe there's variation between each camera? I want to get the correct film holders for it.

Nice presentation about Pentax Spotmatic, owning a Spotmatic SPII myself. Fine camera and one of the classics. Unless I am mistaken your Pentax has a Soligor lens, not an original Takumar lens. Soligor, Vivitar and Sigma among several less expensive lens makers with the M42 mount. Try to find a Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens and you will see why it is so respected. Have fun, keep posting more shots from your Pentax Spotmatic 😊

A pattern I noticed between standard ISO and Weston-you can dial in your ISO and then move one number down to “translate” to Weston. So for 400 ISO, I dial in 400, then go one down to 320. For 200 ISO I dial in 200, then go one down to 160 🙂 In other words, the Weston setting is the same as the PREVIOUS ISO setting, if you look at the chart ! Thanks so much for the video, I watched several without understanding how to use it, and with yours I got it right away!

Not sure what you might mean by “stereo one”, none are “stereo” as far as images go. They have two mounts for lenses, but only one lens is selected/used at a time.
