Cheers Chrys my kinda photography

Haha hard life but I don't complain

Hey mate I've never had that issue here's what I looked up hope it helps. AI Overview If your Bronica ETRSi is not stopping at each frame, the most likely culprit is a faulty film advance mechanism within the camera, which could be caused by worn gears, a broken spring, or a problem with the film advance lever itself. Here are a few things to check: Film advance lever: Ensure the film advance lever is fully engaging and not slipping when you wind the film. Film back alignment: Double-check that the film back is properly attached and aligned within the camera body. Worn gears: If the camera has been used extensively, the gears responsible for film advancement might be worn, requiring potential repair by a camera technician. What to do: Clean the camera: Gently clean the film advance mechanism with a soft brush to remove any dust or debris that might be interfering with the gears. Check for damage: Inspect the film advance lever and mechanism for any visible signs of damage or wear. Professional repair: If cleaning and inspection reveal no obvious issues, it's highly recommended to take your Bronica ETRSi to a qualified camera repair technician to diagnose

Hey cheers as always Matt yeah the sailing club sign is my fave. Hopefully your roll of ir comes out to play soon and hopefully the sun eventually plays ball too

@ yeah would be nice, it was bright last Sunday and got out for a bit but not enough foliage yet to make the most of the IR.

Springs on its way mate brighter days are coming fingers crossed haha

@ yep can definitely see the days getting longer.

@mattwhitehall9536 nice mate ours are getting shorter haha

Hey mate thanks so much for the comments from what I can gather from KZbin experts my channel is all over the place ie one video is film next digital next IR next landscapes next street next colour next mono haha so apparently I should be a style and churn out vid after vid in that style so folk knows what to expect each episode. I really can't do that id get bored shooting the same way. This channel is my excuse for giving things a go haha. I'll definitely do the IR v Black and white comparison video in the very near future thanks again for the reminder I really appreciate it.

Cheers mate yeah I love that old wool shed it's pretty cool to shoot in different light.

Awesome mate you're gonna love it what film ya planning to shoot

@@paultaylorphotography9499 most likely some Kodak gold. Although I would like to try my hand at developing so I might get some kentmere. Not sure yet but excited!

@awpeterson nice mate try some extra too if ya get chance it's awesome for landscapes. Black n white developing is fun mate enjoy

@ I will! I’ve been looking at caffenol since developing chemicals are so expensive

@awpeterson I've never tried that I'll look into it cheers

Absolutely spot on D it's a great way to shoot normal scenes for an abnormal but cool af result

Cheers mate I love the ir vid look. I tried IR film as a young lad made a right mess didn't realise I still needed a filter haha. How are you liking the results

That's awesome to hear mate really appreciate the feedback you're gonna love IR mate.

Thanks mate yeah the IR has a really unique look to it, the more I do the more I want to do, it's a tad addictive haha.

Haha thanks mate I'm still fancying one for sure then again I have a load I fancy. Good to hear you recommend it so highly it's an amazing camera. Thanks for taking a look appreciate it mate.

Agreed mate cracking wee camera I need to put another roll on there soon. Did you see the Mint Rollei 35AF they released what do ya think 🤔

Thanks mate I'll keep an eye out for one

you are right, that is a very HQ Leica II copy with real good coated lenses, still quite cheap to find in Czechia. Be sure the curtain is not burned from light...its the same problem with old Leicas. Be sure to get the version MEOPTA II and not I, only the II has the rangefinder that is the most accurate I have ever seen! The Meopta Belar lens is a licence made French SOM-BERTHIOT BELOR and a Belor is an enhanced very HQ TESSAR. The normal Tessar is called "FLOR" in France and Czechia. Its very interesting. French and Czechs had cooperation of lenses as well as Zeiss (some patent licences between those countries, because germans built TESSAR and SONNAR and BIOTAR (and military) lenses during WW2 in Czechia and France too at those factories. So they knew the blueprints. The french "FOCA 3 stars" version is a Leica 3 made by the french.

@@Schlipperschlopper great info cheers

@@paultaylorphotography9499 yes its interesting! Maybe Chinese films still use the high silver formula, that should be checked. Dont know about new WOLFENs they tell they use mid 1970s GDR Orwo Formulas.

More great info mate appreciate it.

Good recommendation mate I'll keep an eye out for one cheers

😂 worst pic I've ever taken haha

@paultaylorphotography9499 😅

Hey mate completely agree re the old cameras great to use and pretty reliable. I have the pen ee as well a mate got it for me from a car boot sale I haven't had a chance yet to check it out but deffo will. Thanks for the sub and support I'll check your chan out too

Hey thanks for the recommendations I'll search them out thanks for taking an interest. Kind regards Paul

@@paultaylorphotography9499 thats great! Looking forward to watch a review in the future :-)

Yeah I hear ya but I didn't say the soft images were vintage I said I loved the look of the images that are not razor wire sharp as they are with today's sensors I did say I loved the look and feel of the vintage camera. There is some haze in my elmar so that adds to the softness also my use of the range finders needs work or maybe the RF needs calibration. I have images from my bronica RB67 ikonta m bessa ii and many more film cameras I've used since the late 70s that are sharp as tacks but again nowhere near today's sensors which does give film photos a definitely authentic nostalgic feel imho. Thanks for checking in appreciate it mate.

Thanks a lot mate yeah that wee camera is awesome

Hey thanks mate appreciate the kind words. I edit everything the same I'm pretty consistent in my editing basically in lightroom classic I'll hit auto exposure to give a quick global adjustment then I'll raise shadows and drop highlights I'll add a touch of clarity and a lil touch of dehaze then on tone curve panel at the bottom is a drop down box I generally go for strong contrast last thing I do is add a wee vignette. Hope that helps mate cheers

Hey cheers Matt totally agree mate soon as I drove the motorway and spotted it I knew it was a shot to get. Took me a while to be honest but was with the effort I love these engineering and natural wonders

Cheers mate yeah the fam pix won the day for sure my head and heart were not in the previous shots it was more a case of shooting anything to fill the roll.

Cheers for the info there is a fair bit of haze on the elmar I'll take a look at the recommended lens appreciate it thanks

Cheers mate thanks for the encouragement appreciate it.

Thanks for watching and commenting mate really appreciate it. The switchable VF is awesome it helps massively with focussing the rangefinder but on this occasion I completely forgot to use it. Hope that helps. Regards Paul

@@paultaylorphotography9499 Thanks for the reply! Sounds like it's nice but not too important. I have a Canon 7, which is a later model that only has one magnification but quite nice frame lines. Maybe I'll stick to that... Btw, if you want a new 50mm lens, I would recommend the later Canon 50mm f/1.8. Just watch out for hazy copies. It's fairly cheap!

@Invincibleagent all gds mate yeah I looked at so many canon 7s and ps but they were asking crazy money here. I have a canon 50 1.8 it has some haze tho I'll give it another look though cheers

​@Invincibleagent I have a Canon 7 also with the 50mm f1.8, and it takes back 60 years to when I started photography with a minolta SR7

@@mgman6000 my first ever serious camera was a Minolta 7000 another hand me down from dad. The first camera I actually bought myself was the Minolta dynax 9 still have love and use it. Minolta made so many fine cameras I have a few more film bodies for them cheap.

Thanks mate continuous focus when there's a lot of movement around no eye focus cheers mate appreciate you taking a look

Haha always used to think that too but Auckland is growing on me for sure. Definitely some amazing places around the country

That's awesome mate thanks for feedback and all the best with your new gear you're gonna love it

@@paultaylorphotography9499well it came works wonderfully, the double image is a little weak and I’m used to slr’s so it’s a bit to get used to, but it doesn’t inhibit the shooting experience and it is indeed a wonderful piece of kit!

Hey thanks so much for the support cheers

Cheers mate appreciate it I do try with the pronunciation I think my accent is more suited to te reo than to actual English haha

Hey cheers mate just set AF to single point continuous

Haha yeah mate deffo worth the effort and no such thing as bad weather just crap choice in clothes haha

Hey cheers mate appreciate it have an awesome new year too shoot loads make memories stay well xx

@ Glad to hear you’re having a. great start to the year 😎👍and thanks! ✌️

@jdstrobist cheers mate fingers crossed 25 will be a beauty for us all

So far the AF is faster for sure. I like the silent shutter option it will be handy for shooting golf and weddings. So far I prefer the overall feel of the 1dx its built to survive I'm sure the R3 is too but I'm a tad heavy on my gear so will be interesting to see how it holds up. The extra frames per second will be awesome for shooting sports to get the exact right moment but it will mean I have to get used to faster selection on the field it's over double what the 1dx shoots. I still think the 1dx is an amazing camera for its age it's still massively impressive and I'm sure there will be some bargains out there. The R3 so far is mightily impressive too.

Water always adds to the scene mate for sure

Ahhhh cheers mate yeah sadly the only lighter body is the R3 my body had a great festive season. Hope ya had a good un n all Matt.

Hey mate it's a think tank glass limo I can get two bodies a 70-200 2.8 a 16-35 2.8 a speedlite and transmitter a swag of batteries and cables in there it's a squeeze but works it's comfortable too and spreads the weight nicely.

Hey mate canon 1dx 16-35 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 and a bin liner to keep the kit dryish haha

@@paultaylorphotography9499 nice one i hve 70-200 1st version wondering what to get next 16-35 or 24-70 cost alot for other versions

@@rmika9229 depends what you're shooting mate if you want to get close and wide the 16-35 is the go otherwise for general photography the 35-70 is sound personaly I love the 16-35 at 16mm close into the action adds impact

Thanks mate appreciate it

Definitely get to NZ so much going on stunning locations and conditions never short of something to shoot

Hey cheers mate appreciate it. Absolutely any camera is worth conversation only reason I chose to do the xpro2 is because I love the thing but wasn't using it much. Now after conversation it's always with me. Good luck on your choice you're gonna love IR

@ thank you so much! I find your videos very inspiring!

@@stork1122 cheers mate really appreciate the feedback xx

Definitely easier mate I once tried film ir like a muppet didn't ready the instructions just stuck the film in and got crappy black n white shots didn't know I had to use a filter on lens haha

Haha yeah those kids are pretty full on haha thanks for taking a look mate the 7 looks awesome

Cheers mate appreciate it

Thanks for the info mate much appreciated

Hey cheers mate love Minolta gear this in in particular is such and awesome camera thanks for checking in and commenting I'm a bit jealous you have two haha
