THANK YOU SO MUCH

The new R series cameras have brought back the eye control focus - My first camera was an AE1, then I got the EOS 5 when I went to college - used from Jessops with a 24-105 lens for £799 in 1994! I have since owned a 5D then tried the 6DMKII, then went to EOS R & Now have R5 - (bit of a pattern here) I have worked as a pro photographer since leaving college in 1998 - never needed to go to 1 series for the work I do. I have found that Mirrorless is as bigger step forward as film to digital - For my work flow it is a game changer and wouldn't go back to DSLR now. Still got my EOS 5 and 5 D which my 15year old son is about to choose A level photography and these will be a great first step for him. Loved my EOS 5!

I love so much 🫶🏼

I love the picture with the church and the old man with the dog.

just go for the EOS 3.. then you se eye tracking 4 real

hey man, ive tried using my Jupiter-9 85mm F2 and the Viltrox SpeedBooster for my xh2s but the lens completely lost the ability to focus, (usually infinity focus goes around 25m and with the speedbooster infinity focus reach 50cm lol) it kind of turned into a macro lens. Do you know how to fix this?

The reason for the broken film might be that the film isn't loaded properly. (I see people get this wrong. Even in the lomography how to video.) The film has to go under the roller not the little metal rod-thingy. This mistake creates too much resistance. Check it out in the Horizon user manual. Other than that, I think you might be advancing a bit too quickly. - especially if the film isn't routed properly... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for your video. How to charge the remote for the FeiyuTech AK 4500?

Was having this issue with the GH6. Thank you

Great video I'm looking at buying a EOS 5 from Japan, but I can tell you that the Canon R3 has a far more advanced eye focusing but is over £3000 second hand.

Hello, I wanted to know if you can help me. I have an AK2000 and it does not correctly balance the horiontel. It is tilted a little to the right. I've even tried changing the camera I connect without success. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure it's 1/25th

That’s cool. I figured it was a limitation of speed boosters and didn’t think much of it.

What's crazy is that I have an Eos 1V and still prefer the ergonomics of the Canon Eos 5....

Glad I came across your video. I was worried I bought a broken item. Thanks so much!

Worked! I was able to fix my 24-70mm and 24-105mm's wide angle focus! Turning my Viltrox's speed booster lens did the trick! Took a while but happy there was a solution.

bro thank u

JUST grabbed this to do some motorsports film wprk (;

Thanks for your great help. How could this not be mentioned in Viltrox official guidelines?😅

you are amazing.. I did it and noe I can ise my 10-18 efs in 10mm. before only in 11mm

THIS stupid little problem was in my camera just over 3 years .... Oh god you have saved me

Absolute godsend, I was sat here scratching my head thinking it was me. Much appreciated !

HOLY SHIT DUDE! I know it's been like 6 years or smth, but thank you so much! I thought I had to buy a whole new adapter and stuff. Thank you for the help!

funciona!! gracias!

Very nice.

Just used your tip to get the Viltrox working on my BMMCC G2 and it's fantastic!

Are they difficult to take apart and put back together? I have one, but the film won't load. I've changed the batteries and tried different lengths as well.

Photos didn’t turn out in colour then?

Lovely!. Nuff said!. 🙂

Thank you so much for making this video! I absolutely love this camera. I bought two after watching this video. Can't wait to shoot them! What a elegant piece of history.

The picture has a white line because the camera doesn't really have a shutter. More or less three aperture settings: more light, less light, no light(REWIND).

Nice review, lovely images. Thank you!

I've just bought a Canon EOS 5 off fleabay which has the command dial issue and so glad I found this video. The tape solution works a treat and I now have a functioning camera. Thank you 🙂

Nice video! You deserve more subscribers!

i do like my canon cameras.

That control wheel breaks because people didn't press the button down when turning the knob from Lock A great case of failure to RTFM.

I have a few A2/A2E models -- paid a little bit more than you did, but not much -- have not has the control dial issue, but now I know how to fix it if/when it happens -- Thank you! Have not used Canon digital, but collected some EF lenses for these guys, and the like 25-foot remote -- has been a lot of fun to use these. Very reliable, very good exposure and AF.

Never knew you could use the ground glass as a place to measure light. Do you have to have the camera set to anything in particular to get a proper reading? I know moving the lens further from the plane makes it dark back there real fast.

isn't it too heavy for the size?

Great review, just ordered the medium emerald one.........looking forward to it arriving. Cheers

6 stops from 1/15th can NEVER be a min or 60 sec.. that's why it didn't work..

I recently purchased one of these, but when I draw out the bellows, there's no "click". Not sure if I'm missing a latch. What should be there, connecting the bellows to the rail?

Shame there is no room for the other stuff you'd need for a hike. Jacket, insect repellant/sunscreen, fleece, lunch etc. Also no access whilst wearing it, plus in wet weather you have to put it on the ground in the side what's then going to be against your back. I think the review missed our a lot of practical information there

I have exactly same camera and trying to figure out focus. Where does theens platfkrm stop at when its set at 8, 20, etc? Ihave no notches for the clasp to lock on. Thanks.

Merry Christmas old chap. Have enjoyed your work all year.

😮

Holy cow, I was so stressed that I'd bought a bad lens! If I try this and it works, you've saved me a few hundred bucks :)

the AF Film cameras right now are in kind of a really weird spot... the AF is really reliable actually and performs really well from what i remember (i only used it back in the day in the studio) but most people who want film cameras these days either want a point and shoot or a old old film camera... i don't really like 35mm and will stick to 6x7 but the last Canon SLR were really great and suprisingly cheap and the EF Mount Lenses are incredible

The canon r3 has 'eye control AF'

aka A2/A2E in other markets. Nice tip about the control dial fix with tape. Canons from the 1990s weren't necessarily their best-made era, as they went all-in with low quality plastic on many models. Pentax and others similarly suffered of course. I'm partial to the Elan II (EOS 50) for its handling, styling and range of features. And there was an Eye-Control version too. Same with the later Elan 7. The Elan II had some microprocessor and film door issues resolved with the 7. After a few years of waffling I'm sticking with EF lenses for my auto-focus, usable on film through RF. For me, the deciding factor was that Canon's RF models finally became modern in their auto focusing, the very thing EOS promised decades ago! The others I want are the rare manual-focus-only EF-M, and the EOS 3 ... it's 45 AF points didn't get matched in their prosumer DSLRs until many years later. Glad the R3 brought back Eye-Control but I'm not convinced Canon is altogether serious about it.
