Episode 5 - Nikon FM2

[@roywales4444]

Love the FM2, great photos and my favourite is the ferry coming into dock with the Harbour Bridge in the background ... wow!

[@moransinaction]

Awesome video and awesome photos. Just bought a used fm2 myself and I can’t wait to start using it!

[@VivaLaFilm]

David congrats! you will definitely love it! Do you have insta? I would love to see the results 😉... also thank you so much for your kind words!

[@moransinaction]

Viva La Film yea I do have one. Just search @davidkaneiwa, but I’ve never actually shot with film before, so it’ll probably be a while before I post anything, and when I do it’ll likely be on a different account. Of course I’ll let ya know about it when I do.

[@charlesmascari8197]

You have excellent compositional skills. I own a Nikon FM. Thanks.

[@josemartinjuarezvargas8523]

hands down, the best shooting episode I've seen in a while. Beautiful pictures. Congratulations :)

[@VivaLaFilm]

Hi Jose Martin Juarez Vargas, thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate your support, it means so much to me! Where in the world are you from? And do you shoot film?

[@josemartinjuarezvargas8523]

I'm from Pachuca, in Mexico (really close to Mexico City). Yep, I do shoot every time I get a chance :)

[@luciusliu9939]

[@VivaLaFilm]

Hi Marlon, thank you so much 😊!... I just really enjoy taking film photos, do you shoot? Greetings from Australia

[@tanke1818]

Viva La Film nothing at this level but I like to focus on landscape photography but also enjoy street photography. I'm still using my old Canon 60D. Do you have an IG?

[@VivaLaFilm]

Omg I never saw this reply, I know that it’s pretty late but I do have an IG is same as here Viva La Film send me a DM if you manage to find me

[@Kodachrome40]

The FM2 is an awesome camera. I bought mine new in 1984 and I still use it. I lived in Sydney back in 2016. The best photos of the opera house can be taken from the walkway on the Harbor Bridge.

[@andytheghosthunter]

That seagull against the wall with it's shadow is insane!!!!! Great video!!!!!!!

[@VivaLaFilm]

[@terencetsy]

Very well done. Lovely images coming out of that FM2 and you.

Terence Tay thanks you for the kind words!

[@miguelortiz5270]

Nice Video, Nice music and great shots! Looking forward to get an analog camera and start shoting film again. Saludos desde Chile!

[@VivaLaFilm]

Saludos

[@certs743]

Another great video. Never shot the FM2. I used to own an original FM. Great camera and the one I had I had a whole new shutter put into it. Kind of regret selling it sometimes. The original FM is a bit of a strange camera. There is literally no model branding on it anywhere. I did not even know what model I owned till I had the shutter replaced. The only indication of what model the camera was is the serial number starts with FM. Nikon's marketing department must have been asleep that day.

[@FangFangs]

Nice photo and nice country!!! I’m going to buy one FM2, so it’s so happy to see your video. Hello from Taiwan 🇹🇼 ❤️

[@VivaLaFilm]

Thanks! It’s been a while since I made a video! ... also congrats on the new camera the FM2 is the best SLR ever!

[@ronhipwell5543]

[@revisionist3824]

Brilliant made this demo for this legendary icon.

[@colynbarrett8127]

Very, good video. The 1st Shot, of the Lone Seagull amongst the, pigeons ( on the floor) is.....My Favourite. Although, you did well with your whole roll! I,agree with the advice ref....UV Filter and Lens hood, also even try...A Yellow plain filter, it will do a great job. I, love....The Nikon FM2n have had one for year's, i personally think it's..The Best Manual SLR ever ! You, have another Subscriber!

[@VivaLaFilm]

colyn barrett thanks for the advice! I actually have not tried filters yet with any camera, is definitely something I need to put in my list to do :)

[@RM-lg2cm]

I have a fm 2 with a 50 mm nikor lens f 1: 1.2 and a Vivitar Zoom lens 70-300 mm. Bought it new in 1980's from New York. Exposed some 12 rolls initially and thereafter lying idle. Double mind as to whether I should start using it again in today's time and age or dispose it???

[@TingILi]

I had a one as bought it 2 months ago, it is amazing when I received my first pictures which are taken by FM2, not only the memorized that both of the "feels" and the results are fantastic amazing.

[@VivaLaFilm]

🤙🏾🤙🏾most definitely! In my opinion the best camera of all times!

Your comment means a lot! thank you so much!

[@KimHojbergJensen]

Looking at the shot of the gull at 6:58, you surely don't need an autofocus camera 👍👍

[@amosk24]

Nice video. Nice music. Nice light. Good job!

Cool! I also have an FM2 camera soon I'll be reunited with some frames remaining.

[@VivaLaFilm]

That's so cool! this was my dad's camera, its my favourite camera.

[@dinodemopoulos3336]

Have bought an FM2, can't wait for it to arrive! Do you know if the Nikkor lenses that mount on this camera are available new, or do you have to buy a used lens for this? Great photos, btw, really beautiful!

[@hoozleup]

Great photo’s, like your work. No chinstrap on that helmet?.....😁

[@VivaLaFilm]

thanks!... I missed my motorbike, I haven't ride in 5 years!

Are you using the built in light meter?

[@Gabez82]

I need to get out and explore more! I own a Minolta x-700 and a Canon AE-1P, I need to put them to work! Liked 👍

[@VivaLaFilm]

Gabez82 hey 👋🏽! My next video is about the canon AE-1 program 😁 going up in a couple of days! Are you in Sydney?

[@Gabez82]

Viva La Film Hi, I’ll be sure to check out your new video. I’m from Los Angeles! 😎🌴☀️

[@bishopcolenso]

Hi, lovely video and well done! Can you tell me what the music is, so easy to relax with!

[@VivaLaFilm]

Thanks 😊, sorry for the late reply

[@highjinkss]

What Lense was on there?

[@vne-rajawat]

Incredible!! How do you metre for the shots that have sun in the background? Those were my favorite shots! Would appreciate if u give some tips. Thanx in advance Keep up the good work!

[@VivaLaFilm]

Vne R hey I’m so sorry for the super late reply, I completely missed your comment and I just saw this. I normally shoot 1 to 2 stop compensation over, depending on the difference between the shadow and the highlight detail

[@swingyapants]

Viva La Film yes but did you expose for the shadows or the highlights.. I’m thinking of shot 1, Sidney Opera House. Lush image BTW

[@JavierPhotoMX]

What do you do to digitalize your photos? Do you print them?

[@VivaLaFilm]

I got my own Pakon 135 scanner and used to print with canon printer

[@pieterdegelder6563]

That lens is sharp like hell. Which one is it?

[@VivaLaFilm]

Is the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI

[@nightmoon6074]

What is the name of the lens that you use with the camera? Please answer me

[@VivaLaFilm]

Nikkor 50mm f1.4

[@nightmoon6074]

Viva La Film Thank uu🥺♥️

[@langohr9613ify]

I got the FM2 myself. Coming from digital, it offers a great balance between ease of use and analog feel.

[@VivaLaFilm]

[@ivaa7777JAWA]

O yeah, long time a have FM2,FE best camera in the world, for new generation my favorite FM3-A

[@sesushihun2359]

how do you transfer the photo to your phone?

[@VivaLaFilm]

That is a bit of process. First you need to have taken the images on your roll Of film and have had the roll develop at a lab, some labs will send you the scans by Dropbox or something rather and they can be opened on your phone and share online, other will only give you negatives and prints, that you might need to digitize. I hope this helps, I suck at explaining

[@sesushihun2359]

Viva La Film i see, thank you!

[@MurphysFilm]

Awesome Video you got some incredible shots with the FM2 and you nailed the sky such a good gradient As always keep up the good work great video and love the bike what do you ride :)

[@VivaLaFilm]

Hey Garth, thank you! ...My FM2 is my absolute favorite camera to shoot. I also love riding my bike but I don't get to do it as much now that I'm a mum, so I take any opportunity to do so and document it :)

[@NCSTalkid]

Thanks

[@NobeGamingOfficial]

What lens was this?

[@VivaLaFilm]

It's a Nikkor 50mm 1.4, my favorite lens by far!

[@mamiyapress]

Nice video, treat yourself to an inexpensive UV filter and lens hood, they will protect the front element of the lens and help with contrast.

[@VivaLaFilm]

Hey thanks! I might, I just really love how light and compact it is without it but you are right it would protect that front element

[@jan-michaelgerber5443]

awesome pictures! do you have an flickr account??

[@VivaLaFilm]

unfortunately I don't, but maybe I should get one!

[@colynbarrett8127]

Your every welcome. It's really worthwhile, using even A UV Filter is...A Must! Should you even scratched your UV Filter, it's far cheaper too replace the filter, than buying A, new Lens. Hope this helps.
