Camera Shop Interview: MiNT Camera in Hong Kong

[@OldCameras]

This is amazing in so many ways. Apart from the extremely gorgeous TLR, the fact that there're people out there still inventing stuff like this really warms my heart.

[@bigheadtaco]

+A Torrent of Videos Gary should be working for Apple, Microsoft or even Tesla. He is a very creative person who has the ability to see his thoughts become inventions.

[@kiwipics]

Old Cameras .... well said, the TL70 is a great mix of old and new.

[@mattdayphoto]

Love it! Wish I could have been there to see the space and meet everyone!

[@EDHBlvd]

👍

[@bigheadtaco]

+Matt Day Photo more reason to get on a plane and fly to Hong Kong!

[@jotam695]

YES Matt and Take, please come together next time~^^~

[@bigheadtaco]

JO TAM ***** hey I'm game if he's game :-)

[@zenodio3D]

Man, I love how amazing camera shops in Hong Kong are, never been to HK but it really seems like the international capital of photography.

[@curtischen8440]

Just went to this shop....could not stop myself from buying!

[@lhd7105]

I never would have known about MiNT if not for Gary's hard work and the exposure that you and Matt Day provided. So happy to know about MiNT!

[@EDHBlvd]

Thanks for giving Mint Camera some coverage. They are doing cool things and this TL70 is the coolest instant camera on the market. I hope it influences Fujifilm to make a serious Instax camera (but I doubt it will happen).

[@myownirvana]

Great interview with Gary. Really seems passionate about instant photography.

[@idletype]

I just bought my TL70. This is fantastic hardware innovation to keep instant film alive. The photography world need more of this.

[@bigheadtaco]

+Troy McCullough just dropped by MiNT today. Keep an eye out for another video!

[@bigheadtaco]

+Troy McCullough congrats!!

[@xjoexedge]

great video as always. What mint is doing is amazing. also sick shout out to matt day!

[@2klatte]

One of my fave photog vids ever!!! Very informative, interesting and passionate. Kudos Take!

[@EDHBlvd]

I think the meant like a Porsche 944. Not the round ones that lift forward, but the normal pop up lights popular in the 80's. You were right with Miata reference.

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

totally cool video! I'd love to tour that shop.

[@jmbaug1229]

Wow!!! Dream camera shop!!! Amazing review! Thanks !!!!

[@06wv]

I just pledged to the rollieflex version of tl70. Looking forward to it this fall. Also have my eye on the instax wide film camera they are working on

[@bigheadtaco]

awesome. MiNT is a great company trying to keep film alive

[@bgfd1]

I have pledeged too and can’t wait. The new viewfinder is meant to be so good.

[@DonFather]

nice video. I live in HK and didn't even know about this product until I saw your intro last week Take. Then I found out about Matt Day after your video, haha.

[@kiwipics]

I'd love to try out the TL70 .... looks great .

[@st3vieuk]

love these shop interviews .. should use this format more. Would be interesting to see how Canadian ships differ to HK. Maybe you should go on a world tour doing these boutique'esq style camera shops

[@robertbuchanan7839]

You two are great, and Gary's brilliant. I truly hope he becomes the Steve Jobs of instant photography. I ordered my TL70 yesterday! Perfect video, nothing wrong with it except...no one held up the TL70 photo to the video camera!

[@bigheadtaco]

Yes Gary is great and is working on some amazing things right now

[@jameslane3846]

This is awesome as I use a beautiful Yashica Mat 124G as my main camera. If they put a shutter release cable slot (or electromagnetic) to complement the bulb exposure and also upgrade the lenses to higher quality glass, I will certainly buy this.

[@andrewfrost8866]

This really is something special!

[@gabylon0]

awesome guy, awesome interview!

[@lightscrimmage]

Hugs all the way from here!

[@NikolajLepka]

MiNT should make a battery pack for the slr670/sx-70 so that you can use it with the cheaper i-Type film

[@Carmerafe]

oh my! more Take more!

[@villegas24]

love these interviews

[@bigheadtaco]

+villegas24 more interviews coming!

[@jakesloot211]

You meant to say "overexpose" at 3:49 right? If the camera shoots at 100 ISO but the film is actually 600 ISO it will overexpose the film

[@jmbaug1229]

Are you wearing a Rolex Explorer 2? Great video anyway!!!

[@mhsvz6735]

Thank you.

[@mykoueyang7178]

Where does one buy one?

[@dt2986]

+Mykoue Yang You can preorder it on MiNT Camera's website. Their website info is in the video, and in the description above, and I'll link it here mint-camera.com :)

[@ShootStreetTV]

Marvelous! Like you Take. I first found out about TL70 through Matt Day and then i saw Mijonju's review (both awesome reviews). I'm really missing my Rolleiflex now seeing all this videos about TLRs. Have you heard about Eduardo Pavez yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIq2epxqrLKYbZo He is also a prolific film photographer. I am loving his Shoot Film series. Thank you for sharing this video to us., patiently waiting for more of your camera adventures in HK. Safe travels!

[@bigheadtaco]

+ShootStreetTV thanks for link. I checked out his channel, very cool.

[@ShootStreetTV]

bigheadtaco very retro cool indeed.
