I love the no BS format of this channel. Photography channels talk too much and show too little. This channel gets to the point straight and doesn't waste our time.

Absolutely outstanding channel Dimitri. I love Agfa cameras because my Dad showed me how to use a 50's Silette IV when I was a little child ❤. Love your channel, content, music, format, everything. Thanks for your job!!

Hey, my model is a little bit different. I don’t have the automatic aperture setting „A“ on my camera, but only the B setting and numbers. But I also have the selenium cells? What are they for then on my camera? Thanks for the great video! 👍🏼
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
Hi! If your camera doesn't have "auto" feature, then the selenium cells power the lightmeter to help you manually choose the correct exposure.

Hi! I have about the same camera and my film is finished. I'm trying to rewind it as you show. but the little button with the "R" that you drop in the video is stuck on my device. would you know why and how can I do it? Thank you very much
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
If your model is different than the one in the video, then it is possible that there is a different way to rewind it. If it is the same, try pushing the R button down while slightly moving the rewind knob back and forth. You can also try using a small drop of lubricant on the R button (but no more than that). If nothing happens then you can try removing the film by hand by opening the back in total and complete darkness. But don't force it if it won't move, because it may snap. If you can't remove it by hand try taking the camera to a photography shop that develops film and ask for help.

If I’m using 400 iso film, what should I set the ASA to as it only goes up to 250. Thanks!
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
Since the camera is automatic, you can't do much. You should expect that the photos will turn out a bit overexposed. There is an option of "pulling" the film during development so as to compensate this. Ask at the place where you are going to develop it after taking all of the photos.

Any chance you can do the original 1959 Optima? (Earlier than Optima I)
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I don't have that model. But it is very similar. The position of the shutter release button is different, which is on the top. I think that all the functions must be pretty much the same.

Do I need any Batterie or is it only mechanical? :)
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
No, you don't need batteries. But keep in mind that if you use the light meter, it might not be accurate, since the selenium cells degrade over time.
