35mm SLR Camera BASICS

[@LoneCoolBeagle]

thank you for not being a goofy hipster and actually getting right into the information without wasting my time, I clicked through four or five videos before reaching yours

[@omarimordechai8589]

pro tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@brodycade6577]

@Omari Mordechai definitely, have been using flixzone for since december myself :D

[@HashimBeny]

You covered literally everything. That’s something you don’t see on KZbin everyday. THANK YOU

[@jimw1615]

I am returning to the days in 1969 when I purchased my first and only SLR, a Honeywell Pentax H1a fully-manually operated camera. I loved it then for the control and simplicity of it and am enjoying the challenges it provides in taking film pictures today, only with more lenses than I had back then. Thank you for a fine explanation of vintage SLR film cameras as you have in this video. Great job.

[@ponchozworld]

I'm glad KZbin recommended your videos to me. Very informative, gives me the bug to mess around with some film.

[@areyoucereals]

I’ve wanted to use my grandpa’s old Petri camera since 2014, but I was told it didn’t work. I got the camera for decoration anyway, and I was about to put a new roll of film in my Canon EOS 700 but I decided to just see for myself if it doesn’t work. I put the film in and it worked! I didn’t advance it more than twice, but I got a cheap Kodak UltraMax pack and thought I’d mess around with it. The aperture is sorta broken and the light metre doesn’t work, but I still wanted to see if anything would come out. I think I figured out how to use it, as the Canon one is practically all automatic so I don’t have experience with manual cameras, but I’m just watching some videos to make sure I got it right. Thanks for this :)

[@JonnyOgg]

I just bought a Zenit E that has a Selenium light meter, so it doesnt need any battery at all, im very excited to use it

[@danihascrabs]

picked up an at-1 at a garage sale for $20! super excited to film test it, thanks for showing me how it works!

[@zavierrussell-richmond1630]

so much info in the perfect amount of time. i just got a minolta x-700 and it had some light leaks and i didn’t know what it was until you just said the the foam can crust away and i realized my camera needs to be re-foamed.

[@drderrp]

Thanks for the great video! I recently started getting into wanting to do film photography. I have my dads tlb. Your video helped a lot with helping me understand the basics of it. I still have lots to learn and will definitely be looking at more of your content to help me on that journey.

[@georgejones3826]

You should cover soviet rangefinder cameras they are super interesting aswell as the zenit 3m

[@Logic44]

6:55 And if you try and force it after exposure number 36, it snaps your film. Not pressing the film unlock switch also snaps your film, not fun lmao. I have some manual winder cameras and I've thankfully only done it twice. I've also accidentally wound the wrong way, and that somehow snapped the film too...

[@zacharylagler242]

Thank you for the tutorial. Recently I inherited my late uncle's AT-1

[@mr.danbo001]

This video is really helping, thank you so much

[@harryboi8485]

I’ve just bought a canon at-1 and was really excited to see you have one too! Question: above the mirror inside is some foam and mine looks as though it’s been mostly ripped out. Will this make a huge difference to my photos? You mentioned the light seals were important for the film compartment. Is it just as important for the front of the camera too? Many thanks.

[@carpetsomething]

As previously mentioned thats a bumper to stop the mirror slapping against the camera body, so wont actually affect image quality, but should still be in good condition to protect the mirror

[@brucemillar]

Thanks mate, highly informative. I took a punt and bought an old Konica C35 off eBay and after doing a bit of research driving the thing is a bit more involved than I expected if I wanna do it properly, which I do. You’ve pointed me in the right direction. Cheers.

[@CarolinePitts_]

Just got this exact camera im so excited! this was the most helpful video ive found - thank you so much!!

[@gerudokupo2225]

Nice music in this one! Really digging your videos.

[@Inaworldoflove]

Great video, brings me back to my 1996 photography class in grade 10. I think analogue cameras is better for kids getting their heads around photography.

[@1990chrism]

Hey Noah, love your videos and I'm learning a lot from them, but just wondering what your opinion of the Canon EOS line of film SLRs is? I acquired a few of these as a job lot from ebay and part of the reason i bought them was because they're compatible with the EF mount lenses that my Canon DSLR uses, but I'm wondering how these cameras compare to other film SLRs. Would you consider doing a video comparing different brands/lines of Film SLRs?

[@SaturnsDaughter_]

super informative and very well edited. thank you!

[@jwhit4075]

I see a craigslist post for a Canon AE1 body (mint), Quantaray std 52m lens, Quantaray 52 wide angle zoom lens, Canon 100-300 zoom, and multiple filters for $100. Do you think this is a good buy, have you any info on the lenses, I'm new to photography and don't know much. thanks!

[@mackenzierobertson1356]

your videos are so informative, love them!

[@ashlegaspi736]

I've just got my first SLR camera Canon eos 1000qd but when I look at the viewfinder I only see the viewfinder screen not the actual seen in front of me,do I need to put something in my camera like eyepiece or something?

[@carolinasousa4540]

Hi! Do you have or can you do a video about de different types of FD lenses? I'm very interested in the difference between 28, 50 or 70mm :) Great chanel btw!

[@jarrodporter361]

Thanks Noah. Helpful info.

[@Murdoc--]

I just got my first film camera and it's exactly like yours here. I recently found out that even though I'm not using the camera, the battery inside is still draining out as if the light meter is still consuming energy even though I had covered the lens. Does that just how it work and should I take out the battery out when I'm not using it or is it a technical problem?

[@AnalogResurgence]

On many cameras that’s just how it works. Keeping the lens cap in while not in use preserves the battery life because there’s no light for the meter to react to.

[@obody-sl9np]

I recently got a Zenit TTL and love it

[@gabequezada2066]

Excellent videos !!! Thank you

[@uriellopez2130]

I just repaired a at-1 it works great

[@willparsons32]

WoW, What a coincidence! I wasn't looking for your video here on KZbin but instead - I was looking how to get good bocha with the 35mm lens that I have with my AT-1... By cranking down the lens ring (aperture) to 1. ...what ever it is, I would think that would provide this... The other is something you mentioned about the light meter inside the camera. As long as both needles inside the view finder are at the same and the (battery) gauge needle is in the middle of the "O" of the other needle, Then the photo should turn out properly exposed? I would assume that they should be both in the middle of the screen and as well in the middle of each other? I really would like to correspond with you as you are the ONLY person I've come across that uses this SLR... Great video too, btw!!

[@christianfranco479]

I have a canon AE-1. I'm gonna start using it again.

[@marklavenziano4208]

Hey , just dug out my canon again , it’s a canon t70 I have had it since it was brand new. ( a birthday present) anyway maybe you can do something on cleaning the inside of the eyepiece, mine is a little dirty. Thanks your videos are great.

[@bakeszgabesz2937]

Hey Noah, Bought some film for my one step 2, and on the back, It says that It can expose me to titanium dioxide. Can I get cancer from polaroids?

[@AnalogResurgence]

I would say its really not much of a concern. Polaroids do have active photo chemicals inside of them that get spread over the image when developing, BUT these chemicals are contained in the image and dry over time. If for any reason a polaroid's chemicals leak onto you then just washing it off thoroughly will be fine.

[@sathi6320]

Thanks for an informative and lively video. !!!!

[@NaughtiusMaximu5]

been wanting a film camera for a while and found a Canon FT QL on ebay for 35$ on an estate sale so i jumped on it

[@claudiadiaz8852]

Help! I have the same AT-1 camera, but my light meter isn’t working properly. The needle moves with the light, but the loop is stuck at the bottom. Is there anything I can do?

[@robertknight4672]

You could look to see if there's someone that repairs old film cameras alternatively I just use the sunny 16 rule or like me to wrap on your phone.

[@J0shuaHurd]

Awesome vid! I'm a new sub! I have a question about the new kodak super 8 camera do you know when it will get released?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Unfortunately no, Kodak seems happy to have announced it and just tease it and release a few for people to show off but not actually detail a full release. Over a year ago they said it would be available later in 2018. Most recent news from months ago was that the cost for one sits around $2500.

[@kevinspencer6187]

I am a beginner for this analog camera, i used to take pic and videos with mirrorless gh5 and I'm still confuse, and have a question. maybe you can help me out? so i used 200 iso film and the location is outdoor ( daylight ) and then i still want to shoot a bokeh portrait or the lowest aperture, but the thing is the light meter is still go all away up which that means its too bright right? so i set the shutter to the highest, but the light meter still showed that its still overexposed so should i set the iso down to 100? is there any problem if i set it to 100? or is there any other solution? thank youuuuuu

[@_raresis5405]

setting the aperture on the lens lower should get rid of that overexposure

[@maozedong9813]

Thanks ❤️

[@francocollado210]

Could you talk about the 9.5mm format?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Definitely! It’s something I plan to focus on in the future

[@PapaCopperpot]

About time someone ACTUALLY tells us something rather than showing us how to load film then saying “you have to make mistakes” like bro teach me how to NOT make mistakes. Thank you

[@michaelbeck5514]

😉 i got a apointment to go pick up a camera just like this One 😄 now i cant wait

[@amedeomatheo6541]

where have you study this thinghs ?

[@AnalogResurgence]

I've been lucky to learn over time from using these cameras and equipment myself. I've also been lucky to work professionally with labs that handle film and these kinds of equipment.

[@wesleybermingham9986]

I have a Minolta SRT MC-II.

[@binnydinney9739]

Just inherited my grandpa’s Nikon F. I’m going to use it again.

I just bought a canon ex ee I can't find anything about it

[@AnalogResurgence]

Hey! It's a 35mm SLR camera so it shares some basic functions with the camera I highlight in the video (The AT-1 is a later Canon model). You can read some more specifics about your model here: camera-wiki.org/wiki/Canon_EXEE and there's a manual for it here: www.butkus.org/chinon/canon/canon_ee_ex/canon_ee_ex.htm

Thumbs down for the battery. Gross. Real cameras have no battery.
