Hey thanks for the great video!🙏🏻 Any recommendations on other lenses? I‘m just starting and wanted to get a portrait lens, like an 85 maybe?

Fantastic video. I shot my last wedding on film and your insight helps quite a bit. I do have a question about the cost…you mentioned you shoot Portra 400 on 35mm and the cost for 5 rolls is $30. Where I live (Canada), a single roll costs almost $20.

Hey Tony! Love your work. Getting my Q2 soon. Where did you get your rope strap from?

Your photography is absolutley stunning! 😮

Great video with so much info Mate! :)

Great video! Lovely family and beautiful images.

My biggest gripe of eos 3 is the non100% coverage viewfinder.... This can drive people nuts sometimes.

I have the 858 and don't care for the touch screen. It does have some cool feature but 99% of the time I don't make use of it.

Thank you for this excellent overview with all the right amount of details! Yours is the only helpful "how weddings are shot" tutorial I've come across. I'd recommend this to anybody who is just starting out (or has an interest in) shooting weddings. Most other tutorials online seem to assume the viewer already has a general idea about how weddings flow, only giving a narrow view into one aspect of the process. I'm sure I'm not alone in my appreciation for your honesty and straightforward teaching. I'm excited to see/hear more of what you have to pass on to us! Thank you!

Sounds like a Canon 1v might be a better option for work

Nice review. Whether you have to hand wind or wait for the auto film rewind, you and your clients still have to wait. But, the hand wind does draw more attention LOL

Both old non TTL and TTL M6 versions are no longer repairable due to lack of spare parts for the meter. Basically a paperweight in a few years.

I bought a ae-1 program with 50mm 1.8 prime, but your 85mm and shots are amazing. I think I need to find that lens!

I shoot some pictures and that the picture was ISO 200 and the film itself ISO 400. Is this okay or not?

Did u buy this lens which was brand new? Or second hand? Would u suggest to buy a brand new one or used’s?

Have 1 l got from swap meet 10 years ago $15 Aus just got some film, original battery was fine but replaced 👌 Thanks for your inspiration 🏆

i hope you kept it

Fullframe is a clever word for small format. 😂

Can anyone tell me what the polarity is on the 9 volt socket. The manual doesn't state it. Is it normal (center +) or like early Sony (center - )? Thanks.

1:10 "better feel in the hand" Really? That surprises me since Canon usually have really good ergonomic grips & the Q2 not really having a grip at all? (classic style)

I love this camera, but the focusing challenge would be a dealbreaker for me, especially with that many out of focus shots and the cost of film these days.

While waiting for the bus, 7 minutes, I took 200 photos with my mobile phone, now on Etsy as a Zine download

I owned both, the 1v is definitely the pinnacle of the analog SLRs from Canon, both a sculpture and a statement of the ultimate 35mm film solution for the EF-world, however I sold it, because for me as an average shooter it gave no additional benefits. I believe, the EOS 3 offers an incredible vlaue for the money.

incomparable and even if you have many cameras it’s the last one you would separate from

I just picked up an old Canon AE-1 today at a flea market for $85 plus tax. It has a 50mm lens on it. The only thing I saw wrong with it is inside. I took the lens off and at the top of the mirror box was a little but if black foam that is deteriorated. A tiny piece of it was hanging down. It may cause some light leaks or may not. I'm not sure if it's there to keep light from coming in around the lens or from the viewfinder. I think it'll be OK. I have to buy a battery and film for it. Suppose I want to shoot black and white and want it with more contrast? Would I slightly under expose it? Also, why 400 film if you have good light? Or is portra 400 the type of film? Is been a while since I've bought film to shoot. I usually just bought Kodak or Fujii film. I've seen Fujii film at Walmart so I know I can get it in most big cities.

Hi. Quick question. Couldn’t you shoot with the ASA set one stop down and get the same results? IE, 400 ASA set to 200 ASA; wouldn’t that also overexpose your 400 speed film? I just use the internal meter of my AE1. I shoot street and landscapes. I can’t possibly meter for every shot.

Bellissimo video! Bravo!

Very interesting discussion. Thank you. RS. Canada

is Canon Ae-1 weater sealed*?

hi. you dont talk about what film you use and why. i ve saw the portra 400 and a b and w film. but you dont talked about it. thak you

Bro those shots in Hawaii are so sick!

I heard it’s better to let the f to 2.8 (program mode) to avoid vignetting. Is that true from your experience? Also heard contrary statements P mode usually sets more open aperture. Which could be negative for street photography where I usually set to f8 on a 400 speed film

Do you advance the lever after every photo every if you are not taking another one in a while ? Or do you advance the lever only before taking photos?

Hi, great review; Please can someone show me where I can find user manual/user guide.

With the TLA200, you put the G2 in Auto Exposure (Aperture Priority) mode, then put the TLA200 on TTL and then just shoot, right?

...nothing but 🔥🔥🔥

Got one on bid on ebay right now. Should win. I also just scored an origional bag with 3 lenses and a flash. Goona be an excellent deal. Amd worth a ton.

I use a L-758 DR for portraits. Just fun to play around with this light meter... Thanks for the video.

That just happens to be the very model I began with back in 1992. I bought it along with a 50mm f1.8, and an 85mm f2 on consignment at a camera shop. The only problem it had was using a flash (hot shoe was shot). Otherwise, I shot hundreds of rolls with it. The display would blank out on me sometimes but wtf ever it was a great beginners camera!

the pictures look nice

How does G2 perform in low light? Can you shoot at 800, 1600 ISO? …ability to push ISO? Thanks In Advance

Wait a minute, did you do all these to make double exposures with canon AE1 ? If yes why? It has a function thr camera it self that allows you multiple exposure without ruin the whole film

I received my AE-1 in 1983 while taking photography in high school. Just a great camera.

Also have a Q2-wish I had it when I was doing weddings. Nice work and solid review! Thx

EOS1V is the best Canon film camera. I have Nikon F5 and F6. F6 is the best of the best.

It's not "digital sounding" ..it's the original sound digital tried to emulate

How is everyone finding under 100 to a 100 bucks of canon ae1 in my place it’s at least 200 in 2nd hand store and online

The built quality of the EOS3 is actually as strong as steel but lighter. Short of dropping it of a roof that body will last almost forever.

I know this is an old video but I was wondering who can do a CLA on one of these?

Hey Tony, I know this is years later, but would I be okay shooting my eos 3 at a wedding in auto until I get comfortable with Manuel?
