I have this camera and made my own clip on it, it's a fantastic camera. Soooo easy to use. And solid. Good for man hands haha!

This was great and helpful, thanks for the upload. 🤍

Thank you for this video, very well done! Have a wonderful day.

Would you prefer it over Olympus Om1?

Hey which one is better Pentax k1000 or Nikon fm. I'm gonna buy my first film camera 🙌. Please reply 😅.

What film are you using for these photos?

Stuff I didn't know. Wow thanks 👍🏻

This video shows examples of photos taken with the original camera. "TLR Lubitel 2 cameras, Lubitel 166U examples of black and white photos" Watch and be amazed!

Thanks!

Aren’t we gonna talk about how hot she is? Goddamn

this will sound soooo dumb, but i bought an old film cam from a bazaar with the knowledge of a noob smartphone photographer and i missed the fact that it was missing the shutter curtain until i loaded a film and was already halfway through it thanks to your video 😂 thank you for saving me the disappointment of looking at developed photos of nothingness 🙏

wich film did you use for the first shots?

Nice video, enjoyed watching it. Yeh, I'm a Minolta user/collector and I'm on the hunt for a mint Himatic 7s. Regards Rob (UK)

Re, self timer. Do you know anybody in the history of the World who has ever used a self-timer? No, me neither. It is not a function that needs to be checked.

Does the XD 11 have an off /on button

3:05 that’s a good shot

I have a Vintage Pentax FZ 20 film camera, is has a little dust, but camera takes great negatives. It a autofocus.

The first thing my opinion, to check is the camera shutter!

Have you had an issue with advancing film on this camera? I recently got the same camera and sometimes it slips and doesn’t advance it properly.

As someone who shoots with a High-Matic 7 (only real difference is the lack of a hot shoe) I 100% agree that the camera is a great beginner camera!

What film did you use in the cameras?

What film did you use with the camera?

Trying to get this thing in focus was straining my eyes after one test roll. It was brutal.

rly helpful video! i recently had this sudden interest in film photography and decided to go ahead to purchase my 1st film camera. was thinking how should i even go about starting to test the camera to make sure it's in usable condition. it will break my heart if i ended up spending hundreds of dollars & a roll of film just to end up with an expensive paper weight hahah

Hello! What grip is this?

Pretty good guid thank you a lot :) but half the time i would not have understand you without subtile

This is a nice video to which my only comment would be that RPX 400 is normally a high contrast film and it would seem that your pics are overexposed a little. You may need some post processing to get the full depth of this film. Incidentally, I love this camera! Great stuff.

I have one of these sitting in my closet disassembled. I purchased it a few years ago and decided to do a CLA and found that one of the springs was bowed way out of shape (the film advance lever was spongy, this was the problem.) I’m waiting on a friend of mine to wrap me a new spring, I’m hoping to revive this camera rather than replace it. Thank goodness I have talented friends.

Hi from VungTau ))) 😁

keep doing this omg, literally the camera i have right now

Love your video!

What lens is that?

Where’s that other video

WOWOW this is so helpful!

one of my favourite film cameras <3

love the video! thanks for the insights

All good advice. Not too many people know what to look for when purchasing a vintage used camera. I've been lucky so far. Every one of my vintage cameras work as advertised with the exception of the light meters in a couple of them.

You say you think they look faded, I think there look vintage

Poor shots all pics under exposed.

THis is a fantastic video! Super well explained! Thank you!

First time I shot with my 645 pro I had the M switch showing on my lens which made it almost impossible to find focus. So I worked that out ready for my second roll…. Then I just shot for an hour yesterday and realised that I had the multi switch turned on so the camera hadn’t been winding the film for the next photo (my version has the automatic winding grip) and it had just been taking multiple exposures. I’m finding the 80mm lens very limiting and with the lenses being manual focus it’s a real departure from what I’m used to. I’m very frustrated at the moment and I can’t say I was blown away from seeing my first roll developed. I will keep trucking on and see how I go after a month. I think I need to find a medium format camera with autofocus and a zoom lens 😁

From the looks of it you're a fellow Singaporean, and though I've been shooting for a while I still found this video very informative! Do you guys have a social media?

so glad you love the 7S, I have just purchased mine on eBay - cant wait to start shooting with it.

This is the best video reviewing this camera! Thank you for showing final pictures and making it entertaining!

Hey, this video was really helpful thanks. I can’t seem to find your video on checking second hand lenses though, is it in a specific playlist on your KZbin account? Thanks

Does this need a battery to work?

Hi-Matic is such a beautiful camera. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really love the full auto mode also.

Great video! I grabbed the Minolta Hi-Matic 9.

Thank you,this was very helpful 🙏
