HELP NEEDED + Minolta Lens Collection!

[@KingJvpes]

#MinoltaGang, WHERE YOU AT?! 🤘🏼 Smash that thumbs up button 👍🏼 for more exciting videos! I have a lot of ideas in my mind for Seattle 😈✈️

[@8three5]

Got a minolta XG2 with 2 extra lenses for €25 at a local thrift store last week

[@KingJvpes]

Arikuzo STEAL!! Goood stuff Brodie!!

[@timbosch7]

Nicee find, I bought a 35-70 f3.5 for 10 euro. I'm hope it's a good one

[@jaredmtennant]

Minolta gang checking in

[@badruddinzaid2190]

KingJvpes what's going on king I been watching your videos for a while I was wondering what camera you shoot your KZbin videos on thanks bro.

[@MarioLoco03]

Damn, I was hoping to see the photos from each lens. I am trying to decide on new lenses for my x-700

[@dedelabinouze5110]

Too much effort

[@ferdzbags]

Hrmm, I remember the film days. Way back in 1986, the A-1 and the F3 were expensive SLRs. But to compare the two, they're not at the same level. The canon F-1n is the direct competitor to the Nikon F3. If you want reliability bring the F3 because you will be assured that it will function in whatever weather you throw in it (with or without batteries). You can even use the F3 as a weapon in emergency situation and rest assured it will still function.

[@jorismak]

Keep enjoying your vids! You really deserve to get bigger and get more views with the effort you put into your videos! A prime example of the rule: just keep making content, content , content and eventually you will get your moment. Keep it up!

[@KingJvpes]

Joris Mak definitely definitely man. I put my heart and soul into making these vids. They might not be the best but I'm still learning and it's means so much to me I sacrifice my sleep to be able to work on them. My work schedule is always packed so I kind of have to. Thanks for appreciating what I do and for the support man. Much love my dude 🤘🏼❤️

[@ckcochran4325]

I shoot almost exclusively on Minolta film. I’ve been waiting to see a lens video from you and you didn’t disappoint. That 28mm is insane.

[@EroticNapkin]

Take the A-1 with the 50mm 1.4! 😃 I Just copped a Canon A-1 with a 50mm 1.4 and I'm curious to see what kind of shots you get with it. I've shot 3 rolls already and they turn out good but I feel like I need more practice.

[@TerraMagnus]

My current Minolta lineup includes... Vivitar 3.8/19mm Albinar 2.8/28mm Macro Rokkor 2.8/28mm Rokkor 2/45 (best $12 I ever spent on a lens) Rokkor 2/50 Rokkor 1.7/55 Rokkor 1.2/58 (my preciousssssss) Rokkor 4/70-210 Macro And the X-700.

[@NoirEtBlancVie]

Much love dude!!! I'm with the Rokkor 24 2.8 Rokkor 35 1.8 Rokkor 50 1.4 Rokkor 50 135 2.8 ....just want the 85mm 1.7 so bad, still eludes me. Thanks for showing us Minolta dudes love!

[@KingJvpes]

Always #Minoltagang!

[@Gabez82]

Consider the MD Rokkor-X 100mm f2.5...she’s a beauty.

[@disasternoob]

omg how's the 35 2.8? i cant decide between 1.8 or 2.8!

[@nanoponto]

@@Gabez82 the 100mm f2.5 is a hell of an amazing lens, sharpness and bokeh are just incredible!

[@mistermatsuda]

That 135/2.8 is an awesome, yet underrated portrait lens on a film or full frame camera. If you have the space to back off a little, you can isolate the subject so well and the bokeh on that lens is amazing. Don't like the looks much though, especially with an adapter. Looks like a tall red bull or something sticking out of the camera.

[@tomislavmiletic_]

1) Damn, I saw this video a bit too late, but still... 2) There is Canon EF 28mm/1,8, and it's still in stores. 3) I still own my dad's Minolta srT303b (srT202 in the US I believe) with 50/1,7 and I still shoot with it from time to time. 4) I don't shoot a lot of film lately (yet I had shot a lot of it before you was born), but if I would go to a trip with film cameras only I guess I would take my Olympus combo - OM2sp with 24, 50 and 135mm lenses, which are small enough to fit in the pocket, course without more focal lengths I feel like a invalid...

[@DuchessOlivia]

I have a similar setup. On my X-700 i use a Rokkor 50mm f1.2 or a 28mm f2.8. Both the MD so i can use it as a point and shoot when i need to (In program). On my SRT 303B i use a Rokkor 58mm f1.4 same as the one you have. That’s an awesome lens!! Probably the one i use and love the most. Cheers

[@soulrock8412]

shoot what you love man! F3 + 1.4 perfect combination. Enjoy!

[@profipfuscher]

I am a Minolta and Canon guy. But i would take the nikon because i think the nikon is the best. And it have the nice 1:1,4

[@KingJvpes]

Simon Irgendetwas forsure man, the voting is pretty obvious which one the winner is

[@profipfuscher]

👍

[@johndouglass6707]

If you are shooting film you should be choosing on basis of lens. This is what will give the best quality. For street generally use short wide angle such as 35 mm. perhaps into USA you do not get the pedestrians type traffic.

[@joaquindayrit5746]

The Nikon! I'm a Canon guy when it comes to digital but Nikon film cameras just seem to be inspiring and honestly, the best camera is the camera that inspires you

[@DanielVeazey]

I have the MC 35mm f/2.8, 58mm f/1.4, 135mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/3.5 macro for my X-700. And I might be able to snag an XE-7 this week.

[@victorvannatter312]

Cool video. I have an sr1 and a 55 f2 and an md 135 f3.5 which is like new. Love it

[@dannyjames9751]

Take that F3, your content is mad inspiring. My x-700 is on the way... Minolta gang. #1.2.3 Click Nation

[@samdybeck8071]

I'm from Seattle and I've been back there recently to shoot, if I were you I'd bring which ever camera you're most comfortable with operating especially if you're going to be shooting more street portraits and subjects of that nature, I don't know you very well but you seem to thrive when using that F3 of your's. Also I would advise visiting Westlake Plaza and Pike Place Market for that style of shooting, mostly because they are tourists spots and attract all walks of life, other neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Queen Anne will have more foot traffic as well. Safe Travels

[@KingJvpes]

Sam Dybeck Thanks so much for the input man! I'm definitely gonna mark that on the list of places we visit! Are you from the Seattle area?

[@UnusSedLeo-w5l]

Minolta gang here wants more love for this brand... Just bought a MD Rokkor 28mm 3.5 for 15 Eur. Not so wanted due to mixed reviews, so pricing is OK. Once, people bought 28 or 35mm, 50mm and 135mm. Keep those.

[@KingJvpes]

vangestelwijnen alright what a deal!!! How do you like it so far?

[@rbelfry2007]

I just went through my lens (I received a bunch of lens when I was given my X700 and XG-1 but only recently started shooting film again a few months ago and didn't know what I had lol), I have the Minolta 28mm f2 MD lens on my X700 and on the XG-1 I have a 28mm f2.8 lens. In my collection I found an Image 28-80mm f3.5-4.5 MC mount lens, an Image 35-210mm f4-5.5 MC mount lens, a Sigma 70-210mm f4.5 MC mount lens and the Rokkor-X 50mm 1.7 MD mount lens.

[@cdl0]

For your Canon A-1, look out for the New FD 28mm f/2.8 and 200mm f/4, both of which are inexpensive and good lenses. Beware of fungus and stuck diaphragm blades when buying.

[@jahseantenn4574]

Thanks bro. I love your videos. I have the 58 1.4 is the 50 1.4 better?

[@harukachan8434]

Comparing between 50mm 1.7 and 55mm 1.8 which one is a good lens for beginners? I’m getting started with film photography and right now I’m considering to buy my first film camera, Minolta SRT 101, but I cannot decide which lens I should go with. If you have any suggestions, please write it down and i’ll consider it. Thanks

[@fotosbylang4464]

That lens is so sick! I hope you LOVE IT as much as I do! Now I have a 55mm F1.2 I play with! You will have to post your results on your IG account! Can't wait to see them Jonathan!

[@kre8elapache802]

You should make an updated video of this bro hope all is well✌🏽🍻

[@leighannahash8119]

could you please review the Minolta maxxum 5000? It’s really hard to find videos about that camera and I’ve heard some not so great things about it, but I enjoy using it.

[@jdebultra]

For that A-1. Pick up a FD 50mm f/3.5 macro. It is sweet, sharp, and allows you to get in close.

[@KingJvpes]

jdebultra I've never really shot with anything like that! Haha that's interesting, I'll definitely take a look into that

[@jdebultra]

KingJvpes good for portraits too. Tack sharp, nice background separation.

[@r1berto1]

You answered your own question. The F3/50mm combo is the way to go.

[@KingJvpes]

Riberto 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 maybbbbbeee

[@girlygal58]

I have three 50mm from Minolta. 1.2,1.4,&1.7

[@Curry952]

Man, I wish I had a place to get film within driving distance! Online is my only source in eastern WA. I like the F3, but mostly because I'd like to see more footage since I've never owned or handled Nikon film cameras myself. Also, the lens collection is sweet! Thanks for taking the time to share that! I might have to make a video of my little camera collection someday!

[@KingJvpes]

Dylan O'Connor no worries man! And dude sometimes it's cheaper online tho haha. As for the F3, as of right now it's winning the battle

[@RICHARDROLLINSONDESIGNPHOTOGRA]

As much as I am a Canon guy and love the A-1, I would say the F3 and purely for the shutter speed difference as a just in case measure :)

[@KingJvpes]

Richard Rollinson - My Analog Life you're right 😭

[@Mike_M_Smith]

You need an HP finder on the F3.

[@marcossantana1164]

Minolta and Canon guy here! But I actually shoot Minolta cameras with Minolta lenses :-)

[@BobLee333]

Hi Marcos, i got myself a Minolta X300, with lens do you recommend.

[@corunseen]

Bought the SR-T super with a 50mm 1.7. Looking forward being part of the Minolta Story.

[@jacksonlones6881]

Hey man, I just bought the exact same cam + lens a couple days ago. Care to share any thoughts/experiences with it?? I’m all ears 🙌🏼

[@corunseen]

@@jacksonlones6881 Hi, the winding of the SRT is a little bit prone to error. It can happen that some double exposures will happen. I had the experience that the SRT can work better with a 24 than a roll of 36 frames.

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

The SG 28mm f3.5 is crazy good - one of my favorites

[@minos13]

You need the 58 1.2 to replace that 1.4

[@JackSyer05]

I've always been a canon guy, but saying that I own a Nikon f3 and is my current work horse. BUT! I LOVE CANON! Take the canon is my vote. You won't regret it.

[@KingJvpes]

Jack Syer haha I'm a Minolta guy but just like you jack my F3 is my current work horse 😭 this camera is just 😍

[@JackSyer05]

KingJvpes everyone has their camera brand which speaks to them. I'm wanting to diversify my cameras though. Currently have regarding film, just my Nikon f3 and a holga. Any suggestions for a Minolta or canon other than slr. Love the Minolta cle. But so pricey.

[@KingJvpes]

Jack Syer maybbbbbe the canon auto boy! Af35m greaaaaat plasticy camera!

[@JackSyer05]

KingJvpes cheers for the recommendation, I actually just watched your video regarding that camera. Looking into getting a medium format to start a collection of portraits. If you have time check out my Instagram "syer.camera" always open to critique and helpful advice. Ps sign me up for a branded Tshirt when you get them going.

[@ed_savant]

8:24 what lens filter are you using for the 50mm f1.4??

[@TheJeremieProject]

I personally would go with the F3, although I haven't shot with one. I do own an Original Nikon F with photomic Ftn meter, And a Fm2n bot sporting 35mm one F/2 and the other F1.4 both Ais. Great cameras fun to shoot. Happy shooting

[@KingJvpes]

TheJeremieProject damn man that's one hell of a collection haha how's the fm2n?

[@TheJeremieProject]

LOL!! that's just a small part of the collection. The Fm2n Is really great I enjoy it quite a bit. A big thing for me is it doesn't require batery other than to power the light meter, have yet to use the double exposure feature. But that's mainly because I don't know how to go about doing it. And I love how fairly light it is.

[@KingJvpes]

I feel it man haha, i think thats something i really wished the f3 had, functional shutter without battery although it still has the mechanical shutter release at 1/90th of a second, it would be nice to be able to use all shutter speeds.

[@JP1050x]

The F3 and the A-1 are pretty similar cameras. That's prob why you can't decide which one to take. For travel, I'd go with a 28mm ... so just take the Minolta with you. LoL Or, just leave the big cameras home while on vacation , and take a wide angle compact camera like the Olympus XA4 or Ricoh GR.

[@tomislavmiletic_]

Nnnno... Nikon F3 and Canon F1n are similar cameras. Nikon FA and Canon A1 are similar cameras. No offence intended, but those are facts...

[@CHRIZTION]

What’s the difference between a regular MD lens and a MD Rokkor X?

[@zywiec8565]

@KingJvpes you must take the A-1 with the 50mm 1.4

[@thoughts13]

Loving your minolta lens collection, I just got into the #minoltagang myself with a maxxum 7000, I haven't even finished shooting my first roll yet but I'm excited to take a lot more pictures soon! I picked up some md mount lenses real cheap but the maxxum uses sony a mount lenses so my question for you is: can you recommend a md or mc minolta body? I know I can get an adapter, but I also know there are a few bodies for the same price as an adapter ie. the 101 and x-370. Thanks for putting out great content so frequently and my vote is for the Nikon F3. Hope you have a great time in seattle!

[@KingJvpes]

thoughts13 thanks for the kind words my dude! Haha and as for the Minolta bodies I'd recommend the x-570 or the x-700! You can even opt for the cheaper XG-M still a really solid camera!

[@thoughts13]

Thanks for the suggestions :)

[@yahyalemnouar9751]

@@thoughts13 if you're looking for a camera with professional specs and features , there is the xg-m and the xd-11 or xd-7 And if you want a midrange one there is the xd-5 and x-370 And if you were into mostly mechanical camera then check out the srt family.

[@GoldenGod69]

Crazy i was just in that camera shop yesterday and stumbled across your video

[@highlander200107]

Bring the A!, especially since you found yourself that new to you 50mm F/1.4 for it!

[@highlander200107]

KingJvpes Yes sir, I pay attention to the stories. :-)

[@fotosbylang4464]

Bro! Take the Nikon and put that bad boy F1.4 to good use! I personally believe you will love the look you will get out of the F1.4 (Bokeh) and You will have more control of the Nikon over the Canon A1. Nikon F3 was designed to do what you are doing on the streets! It's a Pro body! Just saying :)

[@KingJvpes]

[@KingJvpes]

Supertek10 thanks Brodie! And look for something with the shutter firing at all speeds. I'd recommend the Minolta srt 101 if you're on a budget

[@appleshampoo324]

The F3, A1 and x-700 are all three really good and similar camera's. I would pick the F3 because it can go up to 1/2000 of a second. But yeah, you can't really make a bad decision when you have those 3 cameras.

[@KingJvpes]

RF BRCK I dig your insight! Thanks man haha

[@geraldsaved]

[@chrissybabyist]

Awesome video I just acquired a Minolta X-370 and have been needing lens help to make sure that I get the correct lenses. This is super helpful. Thanks! @kingJvpes Quick question will these lenses work for the X-370 as well. I am rookie at this and am in need of some solid info so I purchase the correct lenses.

[@yahyalemnouar9751]

Yep they will, but better use the md mound for more versatility, and especially if you use shutter priority priority often.

[@royhobbs785]

Nice video I have most of those lenses, really like the 24mm 2.8

Places to buy affordable film cameras? Canada doesnt have much in thrift stores :(

Aahh, hard to pick. Like people say they are both top notch but I do prefer my a1

Nikon F3 not only is it a beautiful camera but also one of the best film cameras. Sorry Canon A1 you can't compete with that camera.

[@Nieuwhollands]

Take the F3 and also take the Olympus AX ;) One for when you have time and one for when you gotta be quick.

[@KingJvpes]

Brightandgrainy that's actually not a bad idea 🤔🤔

[@doplinger1]

I really dislike 50mm for street. I always find that it's too long. I much prefer a 28 or 35, even if it's 2.8.

[@KingJvpes]

Dave Oplinger I really like the 28 as well! I get what pure saying with the 50 tho. I might reconsider and bring the A-1 with a 24mm or even the x-700 and the 28mm 😬

[@wreckfilm]

The F3 would be an awesome choice! But i think you should take out the A-1 it needs some love lol i feel like you probably shoot it less so spend some time with it undistracted by other gear. #MinoltaGang

[@Angelneo99]

can these lens be compatible with any minolta model?

[@yahyalemnouar9751]

Yes as long as you have a manual focus minoltas. Notice that the md mount is more versatile since it's compatible with using shutter priority. Autofocus minoltas use a different mount called the a-mount
