Budget Rangefinder Battle | Ricoh 500gx vs Olympus 35RC | 35mm photowalk using Ilford Delta 400

[@JeffDvrx]

I would have liked and possibly subscribed if it weren't for that camera throw at the end. Throwing it would have been bad enough, doing so with the film door open is just straight out stupid. Sure, it might be a "budget range" camera, but it's still a preatty awesome camera all things considered. RIcoh didn't make all that many 500 GX either. Even if you don't end up keeping it someone else will eventually buy it, so damaging it just because it's the lamest possible kind of cool is a monumental fail. Ok, now that I'm done with my rant: You do a (really) brief overview of the controls on the Ricoh, but no mention about the lens specs or the multi exposure switch. Nothing on the Olympus, the only thing on the video about it is its model name. Either say what can be said about both or don't say anything about either of them, I had to go back to check if you'd said anything on the Olympus or not. Sorry if I'm kind of coming off as a dick, I'm just pissed he threw the camera like that at the end. wtf.

I picked up an Olympus 35RC a couple of years ago but the shutter wasn't working. I opened it up and found a lever that had slipped off its connection. I fixed that and, although the meter doesn't work, it is a fun camera to shoot with.

Ah that’s good that you got it working. I always need to remember how forgiving film can be as I have a camera without a meter read in and I’ve never had to many issues.

Loveee the shot at 7:20!

[@FRONTPhotography]

Luke’s got them angles down!

[@garethjones5068]

Really enjoy these photo walk videos from you guys, some great shots

[@AndrewMclean]

For my sins I’ve still not yet shot any Delta 🙈🙈🙈🙈 need to change that asap! Great video guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@FRONTPhotography]

Oh you won’t regret it! Thanks mate

[@FRONTPhotography]

We just realised we probably should have marked the photos to say which ones were taken on which camera 🤦‍♀️. If it makes it clearer, Luke is shooting the Ricoh and Jamie is shooting the Olympus.

It's kinda strange to see such great pictures of somewhere you live. You guys have captured some excellent images. Was actually looking into getting a cheap rangfinder the other day and you've just given me two more options to look at Another great video guys

[@FRONTPhotography]

That’s awesome to hear. We love these cameras for the price they are. Let us know how you get on if you do get one!
