my locking lever sticks, thankfully its stuck on unlock! I came to see you disassemble a 6x7 but you took everything apart except the side of the camera with the shutter lock lever :(

13:00 you forgot to set the counter to 1 after seeing the 1 in the red window 😊

I always messed up with unloading film so thank you for saving my roll

Though common, the EEEE problem is easily cleared. It is usually related to the magnetic control of the shutter release. Usually, removing and replacing the batteries clears the message. Fire the shutter, if the problem reappears (and it probably will) repeat the cycle until you can get a run of shutter activations. Then place on high speed motor drive, and spend a while with your finger on the release. If this doesn’t work (be patient), you need to remove the front plate and use a magnetised screwdriver to demagnetise the shutter release mechanism.

I just got mine through ebay. Everything works fine; however, I noticed my spinner wheel isn't spinning after taking a picture but the number of photo changes and it takes a picture.

I'm four years late to the party, but I can only agree with all you espouse - the F5 is a real monster; I'm tall & have large hands, so the weight issue (body only) does not apply; I also own F3's, F4's, a couple of FM2's & that often overlooked 'automaton', the FA; like you, I've never been attracted to non-marque lenses; I exclusively use Nikon glass - it never fails me. A very thorough overview - it's more than obvious you really know your way around Nikons; first time watching your channel, & I've just subscribed - Thank you, & a Happy New Year to you & yours !!

This was SO helpful!! Thank you for providing such a clear explanation. Just finished my own repair and the camera seems to be working great again

What is the name of the location? Thanks)

I cannot turn on my camera I check the battery and it is okay

thank you so much i just got one for chrismas and this was so strait forward and helpful just to try it out. I cant thank you enougg. Not worrying about any of the fancy stuff just what i need to know to get it working.

One of the most beautiful 35mm SLR cameras ever made.

What lightbulb are you using with your Krokus 66? I just bought one but without a bulb.

Got this camera from my Uncle who served during the Gulf War. Thanks for this video

You can put modern button cell batteries in this, BUT... The voltage will be odd, and it'll impact the meter reading. One can offset this mis-reading by calibrating via ISO/ASA dial... 150-200 offset...

Is 91% alcohol just as good as lighter fluid?

Wow! What memories. I was in the Marines and stationed in Japan in 1986. Bought this camera brand new at the PX. I loved that camera

You sound like santa

I had the Rollei back in the day when it first came out, recently bought one on EBay, absolutely love this camera.

Got a Zorki 4K, love it, only problem is that the speed dial will not turn to the slower red speed settings. May be damaged. Any thoughts appreciated.

Super helpful. Thank you

Enjoyed the review - many thanks.I tracked one down recently and am enjoying shooting my first film with it.Just wondering though if the viewfinder framing is the actual frame that is exposed to the film or it’s the total area the eye can see in the viewfinder.The yellow frame seems a very small area to me…

Thank you for this video, very informative! I've narrowed down my search and this is on the list. I'm just wondering what you'd think is a fair price for one these days...I've seen anything from £40 body only to £400 with lens (all claimed to be working) and that's not just on eBay but reputable stores too. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks again!

it should be a double crank, not single

Love the video, I just got one of these working and I really love it. Took me cobbling together 3 almost working cameras to get one complete one, and every single one of them had perished light seals, but for a 45 year old camera? They really do last quite well if looked after!

Carbon reinforced plastic, I understand. Never seen a cracked case on one. They are strong and very well made.

Great video

Lovely little camera, just ordered one today from Barnados (anyone else like contributing to charity on buying old cameras?) and your video will help me enormously as I try it out. Love your work.

Great video.. straight to the point, informative, and no filler. Thank you. Just bought one of these on eBay as my first film camera.

I'm a big fan of my F4S, which I've had for a few months. Solid as a rock, great in hand and looks beautiful. It is heavy, but I have large hands and prefer hefty cameras. The focus isn't as good as later models and so I probably enjoy shooting more in manual. Also the continuous high setting is directly next to 'on' - I have a bad habit of leaving the camera switched on as I'm walking around with it, then mistakenly thinking I have switched it off and moving the dial without thinking/looking. Rather than being 'on' now, the camera is in continuous high mode and I shoot 2 or 3 images when I don't want to. I'm sure I'll stop doing that one day!

First canon AF camera was AF35 series launched in late 70s

I have one in mint condition. Shit a roll last year. Looking online for a good developer now. Any ideas?

Came for a review of the film and got a camera review. Good review and you made me think about replacing my Bronica, but I already have the kit. What are your thought on the film?

Does Lubitel 2 use any batteries?

Recently got hold of both 10D & 20D. Having lots of fun using them on vintage lenses shooting on custom parameters and maxing the ISO’s. Honestly haven’t touched my R6 since. Old canon colours are 😍

Bonjour. Il y a un triangle et un cercle, sur l’objectif, où la distance en mètres (ft)est marquée.Comment utiliser ces marquages ?. Merci

The iris is only opening when the shutter is cocked. This is normal.

Gracias por el vídeo!!

The catalyst! Bought this and shot for thrasher magazine

Beautiful ❤️

My uncle gave me his chrome FT-1 before he died. It seems like the batteries were left in it for years, and they burst or whatever. I can't get the battery section off to clean it up. :-/

Great review! my grandparents just gave me this with another 3 lenses, excited to use it. quick question though, if i put in the film, take a couple shots but cant find anything else interesting enough to shoot is it fine to leave the film and batterys in for a while til i use it next ? or will taking the batterys out unroll the film and uncount the shots i took ?

Just got one today with the same frame ounter failure and loose self timer. The leatherette looks relatively new, so I also imagine someone poked around inside and forgot to line up some levers. Other than that it's perfectly functional, all for $11 as-is on KEH

Rip fuji c200 :(

Just purchased one on ebay today. Thanks for the helpful info.

Just got one. Still haven't shot with it. So, if I understood correctly, if the selection ring is in the white numbers (ASA) and the camera shoots, the cell is working and it's good to go with film, right? The cell would be dead if the camera doesn't fire.

Full marks for making this video but with respect - why put a video up when you don't know how to use the camera. Pressing the spool release buttons with the back closed - COME ON!!!

Smoking kills......🚬

You are not familiar with this flash. You said the flash is safe because you measure 25mV but that's because you have the remote sensor plugged in and in that case the shoe on the flash no longer has voltage.

Thankyou so much for your video. I have just pulled mine out after 20 years of it sitting in a sealed box. Put batteries in and its fired up so I'm buying film and taking it on holidays. I love your delivery, understanding that the 20 year olds picking up a film camera have no knowledge of how it all works.

I’m aware that this video is 5 years old but how to I transfer my pictures to my phone or computer?
