THRIFTED A FULL FRAME LENS FOR $5! - Film Camera Thrifting

[@ikebowers]

The refresh rate on the lights in your kitchen are killllling me haha great vid tho! Keep it up!

[@KarinMajoka]

Maaaan, I paid over 150 euros for that Rokinon/Samyang 35mm pancake lens when it first came out. What a steaaaaal you got there!

[@Rocking_J_Studio]

Hey JP! The electronics & camera section of your thrift stores are bigger than the biggest thrift store in my area! I'm always jealous of your finds!

[@err7273]

i went to 4 thrift stores and none had a single film camera lol

[@wolffgang101]

I try to thrift for cameras but no luck either. Seeing all those cameras he finds makes me a little jealous. Wish thrift stores near me were like that.

[@trels203]

In my area thrift stores are noticing the increasing popularity of film cameras and are increasing prices as a result. $25 for a zoom point and shoot lmao.

[@slr7075]

NorCal thrift stores here are noticably aware of film photography gear and charge nearly ebay prices now.

[@wolffgang101]

@@slr7075 where in norcal would you recommend? im pretty much equal distance every way

[@olsonbryce777]

@@slr7075 yeah but they don't know shit about cameras. I make up lies about the gear they're selling and haggle cheaper prices

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

You are truly the thrift KING!!! love the video!

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

I’m such a sucker for thrift store videos!

[@stuartmooreis]

I like the wide angle on the Tamron for vlogging but the auto-focus seems to be hot garbage.

[@batworker]

You still have shops where they give you plastic carrier bags?

[@futureexperience]

Let's see that video on this Rokinon lens! Also, I see that subtle Waverunner flex on the feet!

[@hayward5000]

That Samyang/Rokinon 35mm f2.8 is sharp. One of the first primes I bought and is almost always on my camera. Very cool find. Also, a $10 Ricoh FF-70 (FF-90 in US) thrift find is my favorite point and shoot. They made good little cameras.

[@KelseySmithPhotography]

What a great find! Great video as always man!

[@cdrsty8950]

reminds me of the time i thrifted 32 film camera's for 90 euro's and every camera had a lens. it was a dream come true

[@harveymarks934]

I went to the local Salvation army store. I found a Canonet. When I got home I saw it was missing the rewind nob. The meter was not working and the shutter speeds were off. However, it had a filter and a hard Canonet case. If I can’t repair it myself I can still try and sell it for parts. The filter and case were worth what I paid. It was also fun looking.

[@jonathanbryce2813]

wow what a deal! i have the rokinon 35mm 1.4 and the images are very nice out of that lens! can make skin a bit orange... but a easy fix. would love to see if the 2.8 does the same.

[@JamieKateAdoc]

Im so jealous of your thrift finds!😭

[@dyspatcher]

looking forward to seeing the 3 photos from 1997!

[@franciscoramos8872]

I also have the Minolta Freedom. Were you able to get it working? How did you like it?

[@ericgonzalez311]

Nice save with the lens. Came in clutch for that Sony of yours

[@johnbullock8885]

Those thrift stores are nicer than the Walmart’s around here lol

[@melaninxhalide1165]

Don’t know if you peeped but soon as you switched to the Tamron there was a weird black line moving through your footage. That lens may not play nice with your video camera.

[@cf8979]

thats probably from shutter speed, sometimes happens with artificial lights if your shutter is too fast

[@Krispy-Potato]

def the 17mm, love a wider angle

[@tijswittermans945]

What Sony camera was that i really like it

[@akoako37]

Address of the thrift stores you visited? May visit the place(s) someday. Thanks!

[@outtathyme5679]

Started only buying used lenses. Got that Tamron for cheap. Great condition

[@PixlByPixl]

A lot of people use the Samyang for street since it makes the sony cameras a compact setup.

[@grantcindrich]

What’s up with the moving line on the new lens?

[@BIMLounge]

That was an absolutely unique find, congrats (so jealous). They must not have known the value of that lens. Great option for street on a small camera. The other day I found a Pentax zoom film camera that my family used to have when I was little for $6. Went through the excitement of finding the batteries (that cost me more than the camera lol) putting in film with my 5 y.o. son and started shooting. He loved the rush and the surprise when it powered on and all the functions were intact. Good stuff.

[@kaylayangx]

I went to the same thrift store you went to in Sac today, I couldn’t find anything 😫

[@LeslieMae]

Woah $5.00 pricetag is insane! Nice find. 🙌

[@zach_deloach]

love these videos! Autofocus is boo boo though hahaha, i have one of those minolta freedom's, great little camera!

[@Zlin0035]

wish we had shops like that in the UK xD

[@georgiaboy2023]

what bay area shops do you find these things lol

[@dave-foto]

this videos are so much fun! congrats on the great finds

[@AbbyMorin]

That Canon Af of any model is goals to find under 10$ period

[@AngeloHinojosa]

haha funny seeing some of the cameras in that last spot before I bought them like that Polaroid Land camera

[@albraaltaji2193]

With the new lens on, I see black lines like old tvs

[@larson0014]

I use a Tamron 70-180 on my sony, I dont use a zoom too much so it wasnt worth the cost to go with Sony. Its a good lens

[@Thebroketographer]

Badass score. Im hoping to find something in El Paso. Love the videos dude.

[@jensritchie]

Ah that Cannon Powershot G2 a pinnacle of Stone Age Technology for us digital users 4 megapixels and used CF cards as in C for crazy and F for Fvcker because who buys those hahahaha

[@DayDreamin56]

found your channel today, subbed!

[@Ferrari360Spyder]

Nice pick up on the Tamron you will enjoy it a lot. I have the Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2... it is a monster of a lens. Blessings bro, always enjoy the content. 🙏📸

[@jovanyguerrero2748]

[@GolfW4ng]

[@iamsokyut]

my mom loves raiding that place for things to send to the philippines.

[@appleshampoo324]

Can't believe stores in the US still use so much plastic bags. It's ridiculous. Nice finds though!

[@s.arnold9694]

Ok I’m going to make all you guys sick. About two years ago I went garage sailing with a friend of mine, pulled up to a garage sale and I have never seen that many cars at one, people were everywhere. It seems as though the person had purchased a pallet full of electronic crap and I do mean crap. I did find a couple of things to buy since she had so much stuff I thought I could help her out. I lifted up some clothes and they’re laid a lens it was a Canon 24 to 70 2.8 L ll. I ask her if it worked and she said she don’t know. So I told her I would take a chance on it. I ask her how much it and what I had in my hand. Ready for this $3.00 I kid you not. It only had the back cap and the front lens had fingerprints all over it but it was in mint condition it was perfect. I have been a canon shooter for years that lens right now brand new is $1899.00 B&H. I still have it.

[@maits18]

I would prefer Sigma than Tamron as their Auto Focus is more reliable than Tamron

[@ageshero]

Yoo-hoo!

[@thebitterfig9903]

Iced Americano has always been one of my favorite Starbucks drinks. Adding my own cream saves like 30% of the cost of an Iced Latte.

[@ant242002]

Man I will cash app you if you can find me a bad ass point and shot. My thrift stores are very limited

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

Thats a brutally good deal. Fuckkk

[@vadimvadimovich1075]

lucky guy)

[@Ben-vg1lw]

That’s crazy! I paid £249 for that lens! 2 years ago but it’s still my go to when I want a 35mm for street. I wonder why they don’t search ebay for camera stuff when they price the items 🤔

[@crucio5629]

Im first vooohoo.

[@deophotography4337]

stop buying all the camera gear causing prices to go up
