Random thrifting idea but if you wanna try to score film cameras for cheap, check out shopgoodwill.com Its like Ebay but for items that have been donated to Goodwill. Theres some serious finds and some crazy deals on there

[@MyMegaJOKER2]

Oof, you should have picked up the super takumar 85, 1.9 lens!! It's amazing, and second hand very expensive.

[@ezydy]

you said hometown, but where is it located man. would love to go to ur hometowns thrift shop

[@staynegativevro6943]

Bro paraffle ka naman huhu ☹️

[@HoLeeChit11]

That car was indeed a beauty. Isn’t it funny, how the old technology from the 60s, 70s and 80s is so appealing and aesthetically beautiful?

[@KingJvpes]

Jas Mann yes!! Modern cars, though beautiful as well just don’t stand up to classics in my opinion

[@arunashamal]

Olden days people had money, so they could afford to think about design for the technology they had. Unfortunately starting with boomers they partied too hard and bankrupted everything without thinking about the future generations, So now we can only afford to stamp out the bare minimum of stuff for the tech we have now. We are too poor to decorate in pretty colours.

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

@@arunashamal not at all. What an iditotic statement. Back then things were made to last for a life time. Later with cheap plastic companies started competing for lower prices and throw away culture started. It is more complex than that. But it definitely doesnt have to do with income.

[@isabelmartinez4410]

i wish i had thrift stores like all the ones you went to. so cool dude.

[@samuellazo8289]

Bro, you got me to leave my DSLR alone and start shooting film. Next thing you know, I go to a thrift shop and pick up a Nikon L35AF for $7... My first film camera! Thanks for the inspiration! :)

[@Copperhoneysage]

Random but if you are ever interested, it would be awesome if you could put together certain “packages” that we viewers can buy and each package (at different prices) include a thrifted camera that was in the price range that we bought. I only suggest this because sadly I’ve never had any luck finding cameras or anything of the sort in the thrift stores around me and I’m in Austin which is pretty much known for its thrift shops. 😂

[@gateway833]

You’ll never have any luck of finding film cams in a hipster city like Austin

[@john95713]

@@gateway833 I saw a polaroid at my local goodwill a few weeks ago but it was a spectra I think so I didn't bother picking it up because the film isn't great for those

[@CholoSerrano]

Literally have ZERO good thrift stores with camera stuff around me lol. I do have an electro too tho 🔥 keep it up man

[@RustyX2010]

you have to go to thrift stores and pawn stores like in Los Angeles or Las Vegas to find lots of good stuff easy!!

[@twiggidy]

yeah. people are catching on to "thrifting" so I would imagine people are going out to buy everything. that is unless it's overpriced

[@suavecito6114]

[@Rampoo11]

Damn homie.. that 85 1.9 is worth some dough. you gonna be EATIN'

[@Seele2015au]

KingJvpes The Kodak Medalist is much desired by collectors; I would have picked that up. The Pentax K2 is also great, if in good working order. The SMC Takumar 85 is an amazing bargain! One small point: the lens came with its "original" lens hood, because "OEM" means something made by someone else but sold by another company as its own product, so it's quite the opposite.

[@tayminkane3678]

That Pentax lens was a beauty! I have a bunch of SMC takumar lenses for my SP1000

[@oskaralbrecht2433]

6:36 that lens is a multicoated takumar lens, I have the same one and to this day it’s the best lens I’ve ever used, has a tonal softness to it, yet very sharp and no distortion whatsoever

[@jadareyes6553]

so surprising how you find cameras at the thrift lmao!! here in orlando i can never find anything, just busted coffee machines. great vid!!

[@KingJvpes]

whaaaaaaat coffee machines?!?! lmao we don't have those out here!

[@roxanne2685]

I can never find cameras either. Just moth eaten clothes, ripped books, and faded furniture.

[@ifuckedyourtiger]

I just started getting into film and I'm glad that you came to my area to thrift 😊Gives me hope that I'll find some good stuff

[@evelasq1]

You should of gotten the Nikon FM camera and I am sure you would of loved that camera. To be sure that Pentax lens is in very good condition, check the lens with a flashlight to look for dust, fungus, debris and oils on the aperture blades. Light dust should be okay since it won’t effect your photo. Close down the aperture blades and look at the metal lever on the back of the lens. Pull it with your finger and let it go to see if the aperture blades are snappy and that they are not stuck at the same time you would be able to see if their any oils on the aperture blades with the flashlight. Check your focus ring to see if it is not stuck at any focus area of the lens. Turn the aperture ring from lets say F2.8 to to maybe at maximum F22 to see if the apertures are working properly. Minor paint scuffs won’t effect the lens but yet check for dings on the lens such as the filter ring area. Peace, Flood!

[@fromHeaven2LA]

✨Dope video as always! Great finds...I hate that thrift stores are starting to become more expensive now 😫 but I’m gone be forever thrifting regardless!

[@TheOn3LeftBehind]

I LOVE thrifting for cameras! It’s usually hit or miss, but when I do find one I usually find great stuff. I found an Olympus OM10 with a manual adapter for a pretty low price compared to eBay, as well as a couple of other quirky cameras. I’m the kind of person who finds beauty in the quirks of cameras that others don’t enjoy, like the dreamy looking effect of plastic cameras/lenses. :)

[@RunNGunPhoto]

*The 1st shop is always a bust!* But once you find one, there will be plenty more coming soon. Those thrift shops seem pretty darn expensive. It's disappointing when you can just find it one eBay for cheaper, even with shipping...

[@contagiouscuteness1335]

i have that pentax zx-50 and i rather like it!!! love this video, thrifting for cameras is always a fun time

[@nrgydrink4489]

bro australian thrift / op shops are so bad compared to the ones in the US i swear

[@layahmae1200]

Nikolas Richard Gannon you literally can’t find anything🙄🙄🙄 and then when you decide to buy it off somewhere else they’re over 150-200++ 😩

[@pedromjlopes]

At least you guys have thrift shops, there's none in Portugal.

[@spete7]

For real man. These ebay prices on film cameras in Australia got me crying

[@rohariomaxwell3169]

PeterNB hi, I know this is 8 months too late but I managed to find a Pentax espio 80v from salvos for $30, and I seen another in salvos a week later, make sure you’re looking in their glass cases cos that’s where they keep all the goods ✌🏼😅

[@expo12345]

that first ecothrift you stopped by is literally a block away from my job lol. I go there everyday on my lunch break.

[@ashley-unserious1]

I loved this video ! i went to my local goodwill to pick up my first film camera but they didnt have anything. so i bought a Vivitar Point and Shoot on depop. it's going to be my first film camera and I'm so excited.

[@KingJvpes]

ashley drakes that’s awesome!!! Welcome to the film world :)

[@darryld9719]

the Kodak Medalist for fifty bucks was a steal.....cool vid....thank you!

[@prawiraadam8233]

Wow, its hard to look for a film camera in where I live.. I wish it is that easy

[@Being_Joe]

I don't go too far out of my way for thrift stores unless I am going to be in the area. I literally live next door to a thrift store so I go in all the time. It is always a hit or miss. The other day I walked into a Goodwill and found a X-Rite eye-one lt for $0.99 (tested it out with DisplayCal and works just fine). The trick is to go often even the duds because they will all of the sudden have some goods. PS, also picked up a Minolta Freedom Zoom, best $10 point and shoot ever.

[@dstefanek1988]

Hey King try to do long exposure/ nd filter photography with film cameras. Always wanted to try that ND/long exposure since i took photography course in college 2009, never tried it, just only with digital.

[@madheat]

im sorry but all i could think about the whole time was your pronunciation of nikon. i know its always been a U.S. thing tho don't come for me.

[@cosmicreciever]

It is weird considering it is a Japanese word though

[@oat5662]

I’ve always pronounced it and have heard pronounced as NIGH-con.

[@leilahucker5326]

Jesus Regalado but if it’s a Japanese brand, surely it would be pronounced Nikon unless it was spelt Naikon? Idk man, to each their own 😅😂

[@bobograndman]

@@leilahucker5326 nikon themselves actually said that all regional pronunciations are correct. For example people in japan pronounce it like nee-koh and Americans say nigh-con. It truly doesn't matter since all the ways people say it still are recognizable as the Nikon brand

[@RICHARDROLLINSONDESIGNPHOTOGRA]

Very nice lens 👍 guess the R2 Bessa, didn't sort the one camera itch 😂 but duuuuude.... you passed up the best camera there the Nikon FM?? Was it a daft price?

[@KingJvpes]

Richard Rollinson - My Analog Life haha!! And yea they were asking $125 for it

[@alexandermuncey5409]

$125 seems like a fair price for a Nikon FM and 50mm lens if it’s in decent working condition. Am I being daft?

[@stitious8029]

What would you say is a reasonable price to have film developed if we are starting off? From the places I saw to develop and scan the film it costs about 20$ per 24 exposure roll. Any tips are appreciated, thanks!

[@mariellapatricio947]

Okayyy im just gonna ask but would you sell some of your point and shoot good finds from the thrift store? Maybe the ones you don't use 🧐 Cause it's suuuuuperr super hard to look for good and affordable cameras where I live since we don't have thrift stores like the U.S 😅

[@Fairychild432]

I just got the sureshot supreme at a thrift store for about the same price. I got it just because you found one as well.

[@fidelisteixeira1929]

sure shot supreme is a beast! love mine

[@wreckfilm]

Nice finds man! I went thrifting the other day and think I found my best find yet! I found a fully functional X-700 for $4.99!! It’s really dirty so needs to be cleaned but all the speeds and apertures work and the inside is clean.

[@EduardoRomero1965]

Very entertaining video. The Electros 35 generally are easy to fix.

[@ZakiWasik]

That Super-Takumar was a steal!

Tipp on ebay or anything like that they sell caneras cheaply!! just bought two waiting for them to arrive nd hopefully i can find the right film nd see if they work

[@zelphx]

Hey man! Did you pass on that sweet Pentax K2 (my shooter)? Was the iso ring frozen? That is a MAJOR problem with them. Mine is stuck at 400... I am cool with that. Shooting HP5 Plus :)

[@emptyfridge3726]

Lmao went to the exact same ecothrift a few days ago and found that same Pentax k1000. Walked out with an Olympus 35rc though.

[@scottgrittner2753]

Those are great . . Another funny thing when you were looking at I think the pentax camera at one of the thirft shops, I heard women talking in Tagalog in the background and I was like what? I got distracted, sorry hahaha anyways enjoyed the video about thrifting and can't wait for you to show what those cameras are made of! Peace!
