When I was thinking about making this video I didn't pick the reasons to make the KZbin algorithm happy, I wanted it to be reasons that genuinely felt, so I am very happy that they resonate with others as well...

Absolutely, growing up working with film made me think about every frame and that transfered across when I moved to digital

I try to make those frames count. That is why I do not go through very many rolls in a year. The roll I just finished took me eight weeks.

Absolutely, quality over quantity for sure, one of the things I really enjoy is not rushing, rolls of film regularly sit in my cameras for weeks…

I’m sorry you had an issue with the audio, it’s not something that has been mentioned before

I absolutely love these cameras, for work the digital cameras are amazing they just make life so easy, but the old film camera's have given me back the joy and enthusiasm for photography that got me into it in the first place...

Those look like great cameras, it might take me some time but I will definitely try to get my hands on some of them to review

@@TheVintageCameraGuy Great, dont miss the Kinax Superkinax III with Som Berthiot tessar type of lens "BELLOR" 3.5-102

I’m adding all these to my list, it might take some time to find some of these but I will definitely be looking.

@@TheVintageCameraGuy That good, you can find the cameras on leboncoin quite affordable. I am looking forward to a review. Dont miss the SEMFLEX 6x6 with 3.5 tessar type SOM BERTHIOT FLOR lens :-) France is full of cheap but excellent overlooked cameras.

I will check them out

That pretty much sums it up in one word 😂

For work the mirrorless is definitely the way to go, even over my previous DSLR’s they just make life so easy, but for my own projects using these old cameras is just so enjoyable

I am planning a full video on the Arti 6 camera which will hopefully be up in the next few weeks, it's loaded with film now I just need the time to go out and have a play...

Thank you, they really are so much fun to shoot with

Unfortunately with the age of these cameras failed light seals is just to be expected, some of my cameras I leave them because I like what it adds to the images, but some I replace

Unfortunately you would not be alone, a lot of these cameras were sold or thrown away

Thank you

That's awesome and I'm glad that I was able to give you a bit of an view of the camera... It is the perfect camera to get into photography with, the full Program mode makes it super easy to get started but then as you learn more it is quite capable of growing with you. The 50mm f1.8 is a great little lens. Thank you again an I hope you enjoy your photographic journey...

Thank you and Happy New Year to you

@@TheVintageCameraGuythanks

I honestly had no great expectations, it is a near 60 year old camera after all, but the results were excellent, and it was a very easy camera to use.

I have to disagree, zone focusing especially when you are commonly using apertures of f8 and higher is very easy and I have never actually had an out of focus image with it. Maybe because many of the cameras I have do not have any sort of focus assistance, I find it simple and enjoyable to use. Thank you for your comment

Thank you for your comment

Haven't seen any of that sort of content and I doubt they would allow it. Not really censorship but they are coming down hard on trolls...

Thank you, it does seem to be the place where all the smart people have gone, so I'll accept the compliment 😂😂😂😂

@@TheVintageCameraGuyThe fact it has been reported that Bluesky has a CP issue but i guess ignorance is bliss.

As long as I can get the content that I want, which is not politics of any persuasion, the. I will be happy...

What is wrong with expecting an algorithm to deliver content based on your usage, ie, the subjects that interest you, that seems entirely fair to me.. Given the content that was pushed at me over the last twelve months I can’t call it anything but alt-right…

@@TheVintageCameraGuy If you consume politics, you'll get even more politics. Mind blowing, I know.

This is the problem I had... I wasn't consuming political content, it wasn't what I wanted, but it was being forced on me, more of my feed was politics than what I was actually trying to follow. Hence my issue and the reason I left...

@@TheVintageCameraGuy See, here's the funny part: I ACTUALLY went to see what kind of media you consume on your twitter. Literally the first thing I see: replying something about Kamala and shtposting about Musk. And you're surprised that you get politics? Whatever floats your boat, but creating imaginary problems in your head is just sad.

I am very impressed that you are so engaged that you took the time to check, you no doubt also checked all the accounts that I followed and noted that there was not a single other political person or group there, but you forgot to mention that. Unfortunately Roseanne was another of the unwanted people in my feed and after seeing the vile, hateful and untrue cr@p she spewed out I was unable to prevent myself from responding, that was my bad...

I think what people are missing is the fact that I don’t want politics pushed down my throat, it’s not why I joined Twitter in the first place, but it is definitely why I left. Bluesky is filling my feed with the subjects that I wish to follow, without the BS..

I think you missed my point, I specifically said that I join Twitter as a way of getting information and having community with people on very particular topics, none of which were politics. It is the fact that politics, and specifically far right politics was pushed into my feed without my consent that made me leave. Bluesky is providing what I want, posts from those I follow and suggestions on the subjects that I already follow..

@AndrewGosling you're, exactly remarking my point. Info before were whatever was pushed from behind. Direct politics is the result of a lot of smaller campaigns. For example: People getting campaigns about turtles dying->politicians campaigns about not use straw so turtles don't die by straws... You were getting manipulative informations. To push you towards them... Anyway... whatever, i am not even American or anything near to it... so, good luck 👍 ✨️

I'm not American either, which is yet another reason having American politics pushed at me was not what I wanted.

I’m doing much better since leaving X thank you…

I didn’t join Twitter to have far right politics, or for that matter any politics pushed down my throat, I joined to follow specific subjects, and for over a decade that is exactly what I got, it is only since good old Elon came bumbling along that it went to sh!t…

@@TheVintageCameraGuysince I don’t consider these right but more left libertarians the thought he pushed the site more right leaning makes no sense.

The stuff that was being pushed into my feed was definitely hard core right wing, Alex Jones, DJT, RKjr and the likes cannot be described in any other way.

Absolutely I want my way, and guess what, for over a decade Twitter was able to do just that and did feel the need to push politics onto everybody when that’s not what I or clearly many others wanted…

Absolutely, and it certainly doesn't help that the person in charge is a key figure in those hate groups...

In @gosinator on Bluesky

Pretty sure we final have a solid Twitter replacement, which is good but also sad because Twitter WAS good...

Absolutely

I’m very happy so far, all the content I want to follow without all the hateful rubbish…

@@TheVintageCameraGuy You done good - and the bloke above has no idea what "irony" means.

Thank you

Felt like doing, so I did… thank you for your comment

@@TheVintageCameraGuy youre welcome

....nor *your* arrival.

If you don't announce it no one will know, and we can't have that 😂😂😂. Thank you for your comment

The only thing that kept me on Twitter for so long is that there wasn't really anywhere else, Threads just doesn't do it, but thankfully Bluesky gives me the content I want and doesn't add in all the ugliness the Twitter adds

The KZbin algorithm looked at what you have been watching an obviously thought this is something you would find interesting

It's sad, it was a great platform that has been destroyed

​@@TheVintageCameraGuymay be that was what you American patriots wanted

@@fredylucas2484 If you watch the video you will see that I am an Australian and one of my biggest complaints is that a South African was pushing Alt Right American politics on me, not what I wanted to see...

@@TheVintageCameraGuy Australian, you have exported your best son to America in Rupert Murdoch to America and Europe. Oh God your son has done wonderful things to western democracy. This time south africa has given to the world their ony best son Elon Musk to shape the world. Thank you Australia and South Africa

I wish I could disown that piece of sh!t, he was hated here and sadly he has done incalculable damage, one of his sons is a biggest POS than him but the other is actually a good person

Clear blue skies can be a real nightmare, shooting them in colour is as you say just bland, but in black and white you can get a very minimalist look. I absolutely love clouds but I think for this shot it works better without them

Thank you, I love shooting with old cameras and will be making more content with them over then coming months...

I have one of these… I should get it out again…. I tend to use the Ercona II its 6x9 big brother. I do like that shot too….a lot of people underestimate the plain sky as a back drop for an image such as this. Used properly it can work well. Looking forward to see some of your other stuff 👍🏻🇦🇺

⁠@@MrSteamDragon The 6x9 is a beautiful camera, I will no doubt add one to my collection one day. Thank you for the comment on the sky, as much as I love clouds this day was pure blue sky and just seemed to be perfect for a very minimalist look.

It is an awesome event, the lineup for next year has just been released and it is going to be amazing, well worth the trip from anywhere to be there for...

It is a very emotional experience to walk through

It is very overwhelming walking through the museum, even though I watched the whole thing on TV I cannot imagine what it would have been like to have been there on that day.

Visiting the sight is an amazingly powerful experience, you cannot help but be moved...

@@TheVintageCameraGuy i know but its sad to see ruins of such beautiful towers
