you dont need a dark room .. just do it under the bedroom blanket.

the F-6 is fantastic but Meta 35 is now out of production.

but arent cameras prohibited at concerts

I feel the f6 is a afterthought. The f5 sis the pinnical.

Thank you for the aperture details. It's been screwing my head since I started with 4/3ds 14 years ago. I now understand how to apply your explanation to the 5 Olympus Zuiko legacy lenses I still have.

Thank you.. finally a person that speaks about change in perspective when on a different sensor size camera. I have never heard anyone mention this in all of these "why you should get xxx frame camera" videos

Such detailed comparison! Looks like the tour in Singapore, so coool!!

And i want to own them all! Nikon cameras ate like Pokémon...you have to collect them all.

Disculpe, tengo un s23 fe , esta camara tomara mejores fotos ?

I wonder how's the shutter speed, battery. can you explain about it?

I really like your videos, I have just seen the Instax Mini Evo review before this and I like how straight to the point you are, I find this really enjoyable :) And between these two? I think I prefer the iPhone! This video has made me realize that actually, I care a lot more about the specs and performance of a camera, like, I feel that allows me to have better options when taking photos, but both of these are really cool!

So.. say you have an assignment which involves a lot of full body portraits, the 105mm is more suitable?!

Excellent explanation of how crop affects aperture. Really great. But, equivalent focal lengths are the exact same; they don't have different perspective.

Hi! got mine as Father’s day gift. can’t wait to try this techniques. Thanks

4:03 why don't i have the green square for focus?

A very nice and informative video! Thanks!

Do you think this will come in a Square model? I feel like the mini is just too small.... I know they have the SQ20 and SQ10 but they are design wise pretty unattractive compared to the Mini Evo..

are these the jpg files or the film?

F does not mean fraction! "f" means focal length. The correct designation is e.g. f/2.8 and not F 2.8. In other words, an aperture stop is defined by the ratio of the focal length to the number in the denominator. An aperture stop at f/2 for an f = 50 mm lens means that the (effective) diameter of the aperture is set to half the focal length, i.e. 25 mm. For a very simply built lens, consisting of a single chunk of glass, with a sensational maximum aperture of f/1.0 the whole contraption would be just as wide as it is long. Actually slightly wider than the length because the sensor is usually not at the very front of the camera.

Ive watch so many video on full and cropped, everone explains the 1.5 for mm, but this is the first ive ever seen that lets you know about the f/stop. Fantastic, thanks for clearing that up, thats really helped me a lot, and yes the are not the same but as close as im going to get, thanks for your time and effort on explaining that, it now makes a lot of sense.

Can someone tell me if there’s a version for square shape Polaroid? I tried out that mini evo from my friend and love it but I don’t like the modern slim Polaroid and prefer the square vintage one. 😭 I keep waiting for them to make a square version but I am losing hope…

so basically... multiply focal length by 1.5, and multiply f stop by 1.5 to get "the same" but not actually the same result

this cotent is perfect what I want to know

I didn’t know they allowed compact cameras to be brought into Singapore national stadium, maybe I should try next time

I orefr the D850 but then I turn all in camera noise reduction iff and deal with it in post if I need to. Even here though I dont mind noise if the image retains more detail.

Hi! Love your content! 💗 I do have a question, do you think the quality of the photos is worth it for this cam? I read some reviews online that they didn’t like the quality, in your professional opinion, is it good? Is it worth it?

You do not get an f/4 or whatever equivalent aperture on an f/2.8 lens with an apsc body. You still get the very same exposure. You can install a speedbooster adapter on the apsc body and test the same full frame lens on both a full frame body and apsc body with speedbooster. Although the apsc becomes a slight crop like 1.1, when both are wide open, you get a brighter exposure on the apsc with the speedbooster and much much shallower dept of field and out of focus background despite getting pretty close to the same equivalent focal length. Yes the focal length of the lens remains the same, 50mm on full frame is still 50mm on apsc but the full frame camera doesn't have the same pixel density as an apsc body so they are not direcly comparable like this.

Does the F6 have a more accurate autofocus than other Nikon film slr? I'm using an F80 and im thinking of going F100, but also I like to use F1.4 lenses so im assuming the F6 has more advantage in terms of accuracy

thank you, it was very useful

Just brilliant, so creative! I'll be giving these techniques a go soon! Thanks for the link to the video 😀

f100 sounds amazing!

I bought a instax mini 11 for my wedding, we've used it for so many special events since. It's been a big hit with family and friends when they can go home with a physical photo from a fun time together. My frustration was that I wasted a lot of film taking photos that came out as a disappointment... then I found this model! I picked it up today, I'm very excited to start playing around with the different filters. Thank you for you video, it speeds up the process of learning to use a new camera ❤❤

Your explaination is very details and clear. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Dave Caleb.

Amazing and very helpful video!! Im seeing Taylor next month and can't wait! Do you have any recommendations for editing on the photos app on the iPhone (I have the 15 pro max) after shooting the photos and videos to help increase the overall quality i.e. exposure, highlights, contrast etc.?

Hello,i have found one in a very good price but its missing this tiny plastic flash sync cap. Do you think it loses the weather sealing without this?And i cant find it anywhere to buy it.

Your first comparison is invalidated somewhat for several reasons: - The actual crop factor of Nikon is 1.53, not 1.5. So 14mm on DX you would need 21.4mm on FX to achieve an identical look (identical field of view + identical perspective, resulting in identical relative sizes of foreground and background). Or for 21mm on FX you would need 39.6mm on DX. Now, granted, that is a small difference, which brings me to my much bigger point: - Focus breathing! When focusing close, lenses don't necessarily result in their marked or recorded focal length. Many lenses when they shift their elements to optimize for close focus exhibit focus breathing, where the actual focal length changes from its nominal focal length. So your test doesn't necessarily show an accurate portrayal of either 14mm or 21mm rendering! And despite using the same zoom lens model to achieve both, the potential error with focus breathing is not identical throughout the zoom range, so you could have a larger error at one end of the range than the other. The only fair way to do this comparison, in fact, is to either optically measure the true focal distance at each zoom setting and focus setting, or (more practically) to perform the test at infinity focus, which is the only focus setting at which your zoom lens markings and metadata are accurately spec'd. That does however make your other points about relative background blur size harder to demonstrate, so the best compromise is to use a lens that is known to exhibit near-zero focus breathing. - By a similar token, even though you are using the same camera and same lens on a tripod, you may be surprised to discover that when you changed the zoom setting, your physical perspective actually changed too: because when the lens elements moved to achieve the zoom, the optical center of the lens moved as well, and THAT is what defines the perspective (not the focal plane). This error is again quite small, but it is big enough that when we do stitched panoramas we have to center a lens over its optical center and NOT the focal plane, otherwise we get perspective mismatches where foreground and background elements do not overlap consistently between panorama shots. This error is again compounded more noticeably at closer focusing distances. It can be corrected for the same way we correct for it in stitched panos: by using a slider or long lens foot, plus panning, to find the optical center, thus achieving identical perspective for each zoom setting. You are strictly correct that the physical focal length of a lens does not change just because we put a different sensor behind it. You are technically incorrect however in your assertion that the equivalent focal lengths for each sensor size will "look different". They only look different here because we haven't actually held all other variables constant: we don't know the true focal lengths for this lens at this focus distance, the optical center of the lens has moved during the zoom, and the precisely correct nominal focal lengths weren't set in the first place. If you could magically set up a test where all other variables were actually held constant, then the test would demonstrate the point that equivalent focal lengths actually do result in identical rendering. I have done this myself with certain lens pairs, while others seem to fail as you demonstrate. This is due not to problems with theory, but due to practical effects like a shifting optical center which muddy the waters, requiring a lot more care to keep the test fair.

I’m not really comprehending your upside down trick, if you set the camera in mirror mode and try to “cover” the bottom half, it does nothing at all, and if i set the camera to half shot where i can take 2 separate pics, it looks nothing close to how yours did in the video

This was the perfect video to stumble on, I’m going to the eras tour soon and am debating whether to upgrade my phone or buy a compact camera! Love all the direct comparisons. Both seem impressive given how far away you were! Did you notice much of a difference in audio quality when recording video? And do you have any experience with android cameras? Been reading a lot about the camera on the new Samsung phone!

best explanation online! Thank you.

Super cool and creative uses for this camera. I was on the fence before due to it not being a great digital camera in and of itself, but now definitely think something like this could be worth it for me. Thank you! :)

I have used this lens with my FTZ adapter on my Z9.

Are the controls illuminated...deciding on a compact cam for concerts...Long ago I used Canon g12 fifteen years ago. It was fantastic in manual mode. Will there be a problem getting the lumix into an arena?

Hi! Thanks for your review. I don't know if you'll see this since your video is older now but I had a question if you don't mind. Many reviews say that you cannot send FROM the Instax TO your phone unless you have printed the photo first. Is that true? It seems like a very peculiar limitation and I don't see why that would be the case, yet I did see it mentioned several times in written reviews online. Thanks in advance for your clarification.

X-Pan lenses have bad results on digital medium format specially the 45mm and 90mm (adapted on my X1D). The 30 is quite decent but still not as sharp as my original Hasselblad MF lenses.

Hello! Thank you for the helpful guide. I’m still hesitant between this version of Fujifilm and the Canon Zoemini S2. Which one would you recommend?

The F5 is a machine gun

El mejor video que he visto!

Thank you so much for this video!! It helped me a lot! Been looking at forums and i couldn't understand by reading. Your explanation is awesome!! Quick question, with the difference in aperture and bokeh effect, does it mean the amount of lights let in is much lesser as well while using a FF lense on a apsc camera?

What a helpful video! Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to try these out.

Hi I dropped my instax mini evo but not really hard and it’s not working anymore it’s not charging either what do I do
