I've just picked my old Zenit E that I haven't touched in 10 years. God, it's so shit compared to Nikon FM2 or Contax 139Q lol. Maybe gear is not the most important thing, but it certainly adds to the enjoyment.

Great video. I have one of these cameras, I got it some years ago from a junk shop. I ran a roll of film through it and loved the results and it was built like a tank but it just wasn't enjoyable to use. Thanks for reminding me of the day I took that camera for a walk.

doe that helios lens have the same swirly bokeh as the helio 44-2?

My first camera was a soviet Fed5, and yeah I do think its the shooter not the gear, but gear does help. Nice pics as usual :)

As a history buff, I've bought several pre-war cameras. Maybe I want to see the world through the same lens that survived World War II and the Cold War. The best two pictures I ever took were in Hiroshima using a ~1936 Zeiss Contax III with a dead light meter (they actually had an on-board light meter 88 years ago). My spouse carries a Barnack Leica II every day, also from 1936 IIRC, but with a much more modern Voightlander lens. Lenses are probably one area where gear really affects image quality, but even some of the plastic, meniscus lens, or no lens cameras can produce interesting images. I am currently testing a Leica III, but I think next week I will try a ~1914 Kodak Vest Pocket "Soldier's Camera" to see what that is like. Of course, I still prefer the ~1980's SLRs for features, spot light meter, and size - that just affects my comfort and ease-of-use, not image quality directly. Nice video. Thanks.

Yours is much nicer than mine. Mine was in Fair condition and by fair I mean thrashed.

Hey! Love the video and the shots. What ISO did you rate your film at when metering? Did you go for 50 or all the way up to 200? Which do you recommend for night photography?

While I really like my F3/T, and it is beautiful, I prefer to carry and shoot my Olympus OM-2S, OM-3, or OM-4T. My favorite is my OM-3T, but I am too self-conscious about it due to cost. The OM cameras are smaller and lighter. Great video.

Did you add a grain filter to your photos? Because mine shot with the AE1 don't look that grainy even when shooting with Porta 800.

I just picked up my first Leica camera, the M6. I paid for it with no money out-of-pocket by cashing out my credit card points points. 💰💰💰🤑🤑

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Shooting color film under the rain, good idea !!

Would love to see EPR film.

I frequently have the opposite issue, I lug around up to 5 cameras thinking I can test them out. My best trips are just two cameras, one I know well, know is reliable, and one for fun or experiment.

I like the shots that captured blue sky with puffy white clouds contrasted with off-white masonry and green grass: it just looks like Spring, cool and inviting.

I wouldn't wear black on a hot day, but being from Texas, low 90's in August is unseasonably cool for me. Actually, to your south,near Zagan,the weather has been remarkably cooler than last year, and way better than 2020. The rain keeps messing with the lighting though. Yesterday, I loaded up with some 100 speed film in a few cameras I am function testing, but by the afternoon it was cloudy, dark, and a little rain. When I called it quits, the sun came out. 😅 Great video, some nice shots. Agreed, Ektar is very good the last one.

Nice to see the Yashica in action again, I sometimes use the sports finder at eye level if needed 😉

You're in Poland? First, great video. I love photo walks like these. Second, I tried P30, but not P33. I ordered some from Freestyle Photo, maybe next week it will arrive. Your video just reinforces my desire to try it. Finally, I'm also in Poland, near Zagan, South of Zielona Gora. Where do you buy and develop film in Poland? I've tried a few labs in Poland.

5:55 is a really good shot brother.

i actually like the photo at 5:16 reminds me of some good documentary photography. That building wont be there forever,nthe photo on the other hand will.

Shooting Ektar at 400 ISO and pushing it two stops in development is great for portraits on Ektar.

i'm still new to photography (and still new to composition) but even your 'bad' photos looked good to me - this was very informative and cool photos! keep it up!

Loved that final shot when I saw it on Instagram and it looked even better on the tv screen. Only used Ektar once before on 35mm but I might give it a go on 120 after watching this!

Hi Adam, nice video and nice work, too! Have you tried holding your Yashica above your head and looking at the finder from below? For me, that's one great benefit of the waist-level finders (one I discovered rather late) - you're not only able to get pretty low views, you can also get nice overviews. Still no eye-level and you are probably going to look a liiiiitle bit weird to other people. Cheers!

I like you vibe haha. Very chilled!

Definitely my go to for landscapes.

I’ve some Ektar 100 in my camera now; so intrigued to see your pictures!

Great work Adam.

85B filter is all that's needed to balance out tungsten film in daylight or fluorescent lighting. It also adds a bit of contrast, and more character than most daylight balanced film. There's a reason filmmakers preferred it.

Grate video!

Będzie coś o HAS65 na kanale?

Re: loading the M6... it is much easier than the cameras before it... one nice design detail is that there is a mechanism on the base plate to automatically align the film when the camera is closed. Don't overthink it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-cnYacgNSpsLs

Note: The classic M6's light meter is not easy to repair. The parts are no longer made. There is talk that Leica is working on a replacement light meter but nothing solid yet.

Don't ever comment on vids, but the name Adam Missed Focus cracked me up

Nikon F3 is indeed a great camera! Never had trouble with under or over exposure. But to tell the truth, I am also the fan of Olympus Om-4T. Another masterpiece of that time. Which one to chose? Better to have both!

Nice video, I went to the store to buy a Pentax 17, but I came back with a Nikon F3 ;)

Ong, these be bussin💦! Make more of these

Pentax 67 mark III, I'd sell my house.

Really like this format :)))) Your self depricating makes me sad!! Doesnt always come off as humourous to me just like ur being hard on yourself :c Your vids are good and you take great photos ❤️‍🔥

Enjoy the videos!

Been thinking about getting that same lens! Also, did you pull the cinestill during development or develop as normal?

Yes, warming filter (or at least light orange one for BW films) would definitely help with colour balance of 800T during the day time. And yes, colour film photography is getting too expensive. I shoot colour (on film) only for fun here and there or if I gotta test a new camera...

Amazing Rewind Papi! Really great to see it - we're waiting for another one for sure <3

I enjoyed this ‘catch up’ - nice idea, look forward to more!

Great video!

I think there is a defect in some f 3 that cause it to kill battery’s fast. when they are expensive as they are it might be worth it to get one from somewhere that has a warranty in case you get one such model.

I would rather buy the R8 over the M series. Much cheaper.

I shoot pinhole a lot and this is the perfect pinhole film! Damn shame they don't make it in 4x5!!

Wow i didn't know anything about this camera, very interesting !😊

Good video man! Love that the Leica R8 is getting some love. One thing though, your videos feel a lot like Grainy Days. Keep grinding! I’m excited to see how you develop your video style

Why are these zoom cameras so bad at zooming? I have the Olympus 140mm and the zoom is unusable. I’m just confused.
