AnalogRev: Rollei 35 T & Olympus Pen-D (feat. Oly E-P1)

[@BoWasHere2]

Oh, the good old days when DigitalRevTV actually had an identity and substantial viewership. Good times.

[@25jai123]

FILM CAMERAS ARE AWESOME. there's a look from the photos you get that is just so unique. and as artists, the method of creating your artwork is also very important. not saying film is for everyone but it definitely has it's place

[@MrJGJ87]

Lok reminds me of a stick insect in German costume :P

[@jdtx1]

Lok looks like the tall Asian version of Pinocchio

[@tomh6173]

holy shit, loks legs are sticks

[@czi1003]

I like this style of digitalrev

[@MrMoonISFull]

Analog photos always remind me of my childhood. Super cool shots. Greetings from Poland .

[@skynet859]

After almost giving up digital in favour for film, this is actually a good summary of my thoughts. Yes, digital is more convenient, it's faster but it's boring. If you have to deliver content, there is no way around digital. But if you shoot for fun, nothing beats film. And each time I pull out my film cameras, they are ready to run. Digital cameras are more computers than cameras and 2 out of 3 times, I have to fiddle around with the settings or charge the batteries first. When you grab your film camera, you set the aperture, speed and focus, squeeze to trigger and that's it.

[@brent0935]

Skynet it's a year later but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents. Digital is a tool, and I think film is more for fun and authentic aesthetic. That said, I've gotten enough film cameras, and recently discovered the joy of messing around with lenses. It's a cheap way to enjoy and mess around w digital. I've got several Russian lenses, and they're so much fun to use

[@simeydotme]

I took my old Grandad's Olympus OM10 with me on my trip to HK last week, and had my digital SLR too, it's great to find a interesting shot/place and use the DSLR to judge the best settings then play around with the 35mm a little bit. Waiting for the film to develop now :) Love your channel!

[@DiCola119]

"Cheers...uh, Lufthansa!"

[@PirateErik2]

Finally! AnalogRev is a reality! Film is not dead!

[@636117]

I love my made in Germany Rollei 35. One of the fastest cameras to shoot, and the results are spectacular.

[@sleeve51]

Kai & Lok interact beautifully. Like a high level Laurel & Hardy these guys are hysterical. I'm thinking K&L might just be goin' Hollywood pretty quick.

[@Bruceconsidered]

Some of the test seem to be biased. Film cameras are like reel to reel tape recorders. Most of the fun is playing with them. I believe the film cameras won both the burst rate and loading for readiness test as both of these activities took additional time with the film cameras. My rational is that the user has additional time to interface with the lovely and beautiful film cameras. These film cameras offer a cheap time tunnel back to the past. I can still buy and process film locally and at reasonable prices. The delay in getting the prints back also extends the excitement and anticipation rather than the instant gratification (the most people expect and demand these days) of the digital media. Film may be slow but it warms the heart. Being quick as with many things is not always the most important thing.

[@catey62]

Bruce Mcmurtrie Plus I have found myself since I have started to shoot film the the photos have a presence the you just can't achieve with digital..my colour shots have a warmth and depth to them and my B&W's have the delicious grain and texture that modern (digital) camera's simply cannot produce.much as I love my DSLR's and the amazing pics you can get with them there's just something very special about using film.

[@erwinc.9117]

r/woosh

[@bridgettethemonster]

loving ANALOG REV TV!!!! OMG I've been waiting for u guys to do something like this! :D

[@AstraWerke]

More Analogrev please!!! It is refreshing to see some of the old-school way of photography from time to time!

[@heftigpro]

I absolutely love how the photos turned out in the end! Yes, they're not perfectly clear as digital ones would be, but they have got so much soul!! Please up the on your flickr account!

[@theforgecustoms]

that's exactly what it is. i had one in my collection for a long time but decided to use it now with some ilford fp4. It's a charm to work with. very very compact, all mechanical and just so incredibly solid. it's a joy to handle. The meter's battery might be available today but for a tad more control, go for an external lightmeter or guestimate the apropriate setting. It takes standard hotshoe flashes to try to pick up a cheap one somewhere. Just in case! have fun!

[@Acquavallo]

I own 3 film cameras. Because they're amazing and I love them.

[@sultanabran1]

i have a Rollei 35S, same as what Lok was using, but with a Sonnar lens. it's great fun to use.

[@David900924]

OMG OMG OMG its Digitalrev new uploaded video OMG OMG OMG!!!

[@ensitmike]

This wasn't dry humor like usual... this was just plain freakin hilarious. I laughed the whole episode lmao

[@toast77]

We really, really need more Analog Rev.

[@flcon16]

I think the shots you guys took on film look way more interesting than the test shots you're usually doing digitally I still keep my Nikon FE around just so I can still see through my old AI glass the way they were meant to be viewed... they work great on the D7000 but the crop factor changes them into something different... full-frame is still too expensive.

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

FILM IS NOT DEAD!!!! My dad gave me his Nikon FM2 along with a 35 f/2.8 and a Nikkor 70-210 f/4. Absolutely stunning, I'll find a Kodak (if there is any in China) get some film and start shooting right away. I love film, more so than digital.

[@terraincognitagaming]

The intro is just awesome, and Lok C is priceless.

[@Vid-FX]

Still have and use my Rollei 35. Maybe not as often, but it is always at the bottom of my camera bag, for when I need to use the quality and resolving power of film.

[@pketh]

This was cool, hope you guys mix it up in the future with more analogrev tv please!

[@drcaffeine1974]

LOL What self-respecting German restaurant sells Dutch Heineken?

[@KandiKlover]

Those who realize Deutsche is superior.

[@TraceurZeno]

one of the best channels on youtube!

[@simonnageleisen]

As a German, this is freaking hilarious! :D And Kai's laugh at 2:30 really cracked me up xD

[@clockwisekeyz]

I love my Rollei 35. Good to see it getting some love here!

[@kay188]

The film images that you guys showed at the end are actually amazing. Very lomo like as well!

[@hynee]

Great video Kai and Lok, good fun.

[@wontufree]

I've taken some great pictures with my Rollei.

[@636117]

Love your show. You guys are the camera version of "Top Gear" (the good one, with Jezza, Slow, and Hamster)!

[@ramelsen]

Could be nice if Lok and Kai would get Challenges again like this.

[@rliuLY]

awesome intro!! i just got myself an Canon AE-1 and QL17 last week, enjoying them a lot! keep shooting film!

[@CezarCazan_evx]

We saw a competition for the time it takes to do certain things (load film/sd card, focus, etc) I wonder what a photo comparison would look like with digital vs the film shots of those cameras. They did look like they were having a lot of fun with those!

[@oscargalvez6872]

This is gold still in 2021

[@CurrySchuessel]

2:46 Lok speak german! This is pretty cool. I'm from germany and THIS is a very nice episode of Digital/AnalogREV TV! :)

[@davidchiu1989]

Let's make more videos on Analog! Billions of People out there are pickup analog , lomography and polaroids indeed. AnalogRev TV is GREAT! cheers

[@DOUBL3SCOOP]

love the way that the film cameras would rinse the pen in a image quality test

[@bwc1976]

This makes me want to pick up a Rollei 35! Scale focusing sounds like it would be a fun change.

[@zennydoo]

sweet jesus analogRevTV is awesome. MOAR!!!!!!

[@BlueFluidStudios]

Man I'm so glad that I was born in the 90's and grew up with pretty much all digital, I don't think I would be into photography and film If I had to use these cameras.

[@sidewinderAUT]

this is awesome, i actually wanted to ask you some days ago if you were going to make such a video

[@rbruce63]

Was the light leak on the Olympus the product of the fall?

[@TheXentius]

Maybe It is because he dropped the camera.

[@huyked]

When you said "short shorts" for Loc, I was imagining almost daisy dukes like, and was laughing along with Kai, just imagining it. But I am actually glad they weren't that short. :D

[@mathiasha]

This is the TopGear of cameras. And I love it

[@michael.meinhardt]

I liked the spontaneous confiscation of the UV-filter, Lambi's reaction and the CG on Lok's legs. Good gaaaawd!

[@nulnoh219]

cant phase out film cameras, they hav a unique quality that cant be replaced...

[@DrenMan96]

i really like the Rollei's vintage look on the photos

[@juealzbandana]

YES you granted my wish thank you guys!!!!

[@floschaer]

...hey, and they've actually chosen Music from a german composer. If I'm not mistaken it's the "Military March" by Franz Schubert (starts around 5:37)... so I guess the piece before is ...japanese?

[@JohnnyJackPompolla]

This video was uploaded some days ago and turned into a private video. I saw it when it happened. Then you made some changes in the original one and ended with this. Yes, I am a DigitalRev fan.

[@The800zz]

i love new intro with a original splash !!

[@HesselFolkertsma]

@Clarimort I can highly recommend that! Which SLR are you looking for?

[@alfiechung]

they listened to me and many others! finally did analoguerev. you guys are the best! i have an canon ae-1, maybe you guys can do a video on it! also the nikon f3

[@alekseydomino]

DigitalRev you are the best! =))

[@streakinthesky]

For actual work, digital is pretty much a must in the industry. The work and time needed is just plain faster. But it doesn't even compare to the enjoyment I feel when using manual film cameras. Digital just spoils you, where manual film makes you have to think to get the photos you want to take.

[@Belgianbanshee]

This has to be the funniest episode you've ever made.

[@ABSjazz]

It's like a Top Gear challenge! Love it!

[@dtcao]

Hey DigitalRev TV team, Great video. Could you make an analogrev episode where Lok uses his Olympus film OM slr, and Kai uses the Pentax fim slr that he mentions was his first camera?

[@fastenbulbous]

You should do more analog rev videos comparing different types of film and such.

[@balios1]

It's amazing how culturally accurate Lok's clothing is. Add a few dozen more people dressed like him into the video, add some tubas and accordians playing oompah music, and I'd swear you were filming that in downtown Berlin.

[@Rationalific]

Fun episode! Keep up the good work.

[@BeepBoop896]

I just got a Pentax MX off ebay for £60, I love my 5DMKII but theres something so refreshing about shooting film and developing it yourself... digital is great but film feels so much nicer in it's texture and feel :)

[@ScoutBobrman862]

Nice to see you guys are reviewing analog cameras. Would like to know if you guys would review the NIKON-N90S-I'm a student film photographer, I would enjoy your review of the NKON-N90S...thanks!!!!

[@olegnabunyi]

thumbs up for the AnalogRev TV intro :D

[@sjinouck]

i still love analog photography. i still do it a lot next to digital, two completely different worlds if you ask me..

[@sugamama175]

What a coincidence, I just bought a Rollei 35 today! Best buy. Ever.

[@jonathanloganmoran]

How does the TV in the back not have the DigitalRev logo burned into the screen?

[@jason09guitarmaniac]

isn't this posted days ago already ? did it got deleted?

[@theallmikey]

Awesome episode! I just bought a second hand Nikon F60 for around 100$ and it's basically faultless and it feels so nice in the hands; it feels much nicer than today's Nikon DSLR that cost under 1200$. And with this new para-series, I can't wait for that Nikon D700 vs. F6 comaprison; both have full frame and cost about the same. So which one is "better"? Have a nice day

[@fb8568]

I always wish Analog one, great!!!

[@robojot]

wasent this video uploaded som days ago then removed rigth after ?

[@TheMakMoon]

So funny, I really enjoyed watching this ved guys, Keep up the good work. Cheers!!

[@YaoZoo]

More AnalogRev Please Please!!!

[@fan4now]

you guy are the top gear of cameras

[@ianchristie1972]

Film is fun, but in my area there aren't any places to go to get decent processing. Both photo shops closed a few years ago, leaving the drugstore and grocery store.

[@vandenkevin]

I've got an old Agfa Silette from my granddad, and I would love to experiment bit with that, but I find it quite expensive...

[@kcarsonsChannel]

I think this opening is better than the normal one! Change the DigitalRevTV opening like this!!

[@bibbed87]

I like old SLRs, they are so fun to use. Its not like using DSLR, it has much more soul (:

[@PatrickProduction]

Could you, if possible, find and a use a camera from like the 30's? I'm curious if they still work (or even still exist) these days :D

[@RichardBalonglongImages]

Nice! Until now, I don't give up using film even though I have digital. I still have my Pentax 6x7 and K1000, Yashica & Canon rangefinders, and Yashica TLR. Anyway, using analog cameras challenges you to think more while composing, and force you to have a good to great shot every single frame because of the time and expenses to process a roll of film.

[@sidewinderAUT]

how about a video featuring some medium format cameras?

[@jonowee]

Lok's shorts are not short and tight enough for lederhosen.

[@texasheartnsoul]

Film just has more character. It's like a manual vs automatic transmission in a car. The manual you feel the gears and shift. Everything is just more pure.

[@supraelita]

Are you guys using one PL + one CPL to act as ND?

[@CraigKramer]

Great shots boys. Props for the film revival. Let's see a mamiya rz67 vs hasselblad 501 street photo challenge.

[@toast77]

Kai, you mention not being able to go back to a film workflow...I thought you shot an M2?

[@uncatila]

Please shoot with a Nokonus 2 . It was used as a prophet to represent a top secret Geiger counter in the James bond film Thunderball.

[@stephenarling1667]

Nikonos, a classic derived from a design by Jacques Cousteau.

[@JHMBB2]

Haha this is so Top Gear inspired. We need more!

[@iivv_nn]

What kind of filter where they using on the filming camera? ND or CPL?

[@WoodlandCreation]

Lok's costume is EPIC!

[@icy2527]

I've got a rolei35 at my home ,still in good shape but cannot find battery for metering sensor.

[@Dragon4eva]

dear god... it finally became AnalogRev... the stalker dude from the old video (50mm f/1.2 i think it was...) will be sooo happy... =P

[@sharad2020]

wow. im surprised Alamby took all this footage! Good job!

[@gentel916]

in wich country are they filming in ? hongkong ? Taiwan?
