Did you find your camera?

[@walterarroyo5220]

I’m not even going to lie I watched your video about 30 minutes ago and it made me want to go to my nearest goodwill. I found a Konica Autoreflex TC with Hexanon 50 mm f/1.7 and a Panasonic LUMIX DMC- TZ5 no lie. Your video brought me luck.

[@marvinwitt6926]

The Vivitar 28mm is a good PK Mount Lens. Good sharpness and the flares are really nice. I use one of these on my S5.

[@Skux720]

I love a Spotmatic, so simple and beautifully designed. I like to replace the covers with custom kits you can buy online.

[@martifingers]

Yes. It takes me back - the SP500 was my first real camera. A couple of random things about it - the shutter speed dial goes to 1/500 sec BUT there is an unmarked extra setting that is probably 1/1000 . My tutor suggested it was so that people might not ne deterred from buying the SP1000! He also surmised that the 50mm 1.8 it came with was really the 1.8 version with a small plastic insert to reduce the maximum aperture presumably for the same reason. That might be a myth but the Spotmatics are classic elegantly designed cameras.

THE THRIFTING GOAT

[@drnotuseless]

ok

[@joranvancoillie8133]

lol putting an Nikon F3 in the thumbnail. Nice clickbait

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

Last summer I found the same Pentax with 2 of those same 55 mm lens as well for a whole 5 dollars at a yard sale :). The thing was like brand new and in its leather snap cover type case .. I love that camera and the M42 lenses are everywhere .. Besides if I am out shooting and some guy comes at me I can just throw the camera at them its a solid chunk of metal lol.

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

Those two Cybershots can take pictures of one another! SMILE! 😁

[@KutWrite]

yeah! that Pentax is like my favorite former (now display) 35mm camera, a black Spotmatic with a 55mm f/1.4 lens. it's made so well, I like working it now and then. Also that Panasonic is very cool. I have a similar Canon, which I'll give away with a bunch of clothes and old computer stuff.

[@vetito_]

A canon A1?! If so I’ll take it off your hands lol

[@garvinkelly]

the pentax m42 stuff rules. The sp500 is funny because it has a secret higher shutter speed when you click one above 1/500

[@elimogenson3316]

The Rebel K2 was a nice find. I picked up a Rebel Ti body for $35 and a Rebel SII with a 50mm EF lens for $40 the other day. Excited to go out and use em.

[@EvelynTurner-y8x]

Nice find on that Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic 35mm SLR. They are a great, simple, well made 35mm SLR film camera. Couple of years ago I bought one with Pentax 55mm f/1.8 Super Takumar lens and Tamron 28mm f/2.8 lens for the grand sum of $47.00 US from a private seller. And the guy threw in a nice Sunpac flash unit for free. All in excellent condition. I really enjoy using the camera shots taken with the 55mm f/1.8 Pentax lens really sharp and excellent color rendition and great images taken with the Tamron 28mm lens also. You snagged a good camera with that Pentax. Enjoy watching your videos one of my favorite activities is trolling 'thrift shops' and flea markets for photo gear..you never know what you'll find.

[@erichung9043]

Nice haul. I like that Pentax Spotmatic. Look for a Canon S95 which is Canon 's last digicam with 1/1.7" CCD sensor that supports RAW. Also the Fuji F200EXR with its super CCD 1/1.7" sensor is pretty good.

[@KutWrite]

He bought two of those on a previous video!

[@d.r.martin6301]

Leica partners with Panasonic for their topline M43 lenses, so this one is probably a Leica design manufactured by Pansonic. I used to have a Spotmatic 500 and a cute thing is this: I was able to turn the shutter speed one notch beyond the 500 and get the unmarked 1000. You might want to try it, turning gently; in case it's not exactly the same as mine. Obviously, if it won't move, don't force it. I figure they made the same camera, printed the 1000 on the higher model, and charged more for it. You can go online and find reference to the "hidden shutter speed."

[@blub9081]

I recently was handed down an EOS rebel k2 from my late grandfather, and so far it has performed immaculately. I'd say that's a great find

[@jasongold6751]

I was given a SLR Canon EOS. Battery from Amazon! The kit lens is great! Darn fun to use and very light!

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Good to see this again in haven't watched your videos for so long

[@fossil-bit8439]

I love thrifting 35mm SLRs! I have found a decent amount over the last several years. I’ve found 4 Minolta’s (XG-7, X-370, SRT-101, and can’t remember the 4th), a Voitlander Bessamatic range finder, a Pentax MX, and most recently an all black Nikon FM2! (I’ve only paid $20 or less for every camera) I ended up trading 3 Minolta’s (there was something wrong with the 3 cameras) and the Bessamatic for a factory Nikon lens and a film rewind lever (mine was missing) for my FM2. The one camera I regret passing up for $10, was a Canon AE-1 that was very dirty and missing the battery cover… I would’ve cleaned it but didn’t think to buy a new battery cover for it. I’ve only got the three cameras right now. Nikon FM2 Pentax MX Minolta XG-7 (my very first 35mm I found and shot with) so I won’t every get rid of that one. Minolta Gang!!!

[@thomasmoje5926]

If you paid $20.00 for a working Nikon FM2 you got a steal to put it mildly. Nikon FM2's in good condition are getting high prices from used photo equipment retailers. FM-3's at ridiculous prices. Even FM's in good shape well over $100.00 now.

[@facepunch0122]

I got a fully working Minolta Srt 101 for $4.11, it’s my first 35mm camera and I love it

[@thomasmoje5926]

@@facepunch0122 Wow what a deal. Minolta SRT series have a reputation of being solid dependable cameras much like the older Nikon manual SLR's and Pentax Spotmatic/K1000's.

[@fossil-bit8439]

@@thomasmoje5926 I picked up my FM-2 for $7.99 at a goodwill

[@fossil-bit8439]

@@facepunch0122 Minolta’s are great because the quality is very much on par with Nikon and Canon and the glass is cheaper to buy because everyone wants the other brands that are still making cameras.

[@ciarabryant1719]

my students use the canon k2 - and they are amazing ... they can learn really quickly on this

[@johnmehalick]

M-42 Pentax glass! I use a few on my Sony A7. Spotmatic did you find a battery and does light meter work? Also have a Spotmatic II and a Mamia/Sekor 500DTL M-42 mounts working light meter. Waiting to get back my film. Looking for light leaks.

[@ant242002]

Best thrifting videos on KZbin for cameras. Keep them coming bro.

[@wangosteen]

Hey man! A big fan here and hoping to thrift around in the USA when i make my trip this june!

[@Abutado]

I have 3 different versions of the spotmatic. Best sounding shutter ever. BEWARE, the mirror sticks on ALL of mine when the temperature is below 40°f.

[@andrewrothman7805]

That Pentax is a real find. Even though it's marked 500, I've read that it will actually shoot up to 1/1000.

[@Seele2015au]

Pentax was well known for creating lower-priced models by using up stocks of parts for discontinued models, the SP500 being one of them, using up bodies of the SP. The 1/500s top speed was claimed to reduce the price but the whole shutter mechanism remained the usual one giving 1/1000s: taking the top speed off would have cost Pentax more money rather than less. There should be an additional click beyond the 1/500s position, which should give 1/1000s. To keep it an ostensibly "budget model" it came with the f/2 lens, so the camera/lens combination is correct as it was first sold.

[@Calciu_83]

That last thrift store looks sooo familiar. Was it in Fairfield, CA? I remember going there when visiting my cousins and finding a lame camera (canon rebel) and didnt get it lol

[@cks796]

Man I love my Rebel K2's. I've got two of them and those little things ROCK. Amazing they both only cost me a total of around $40. EDIT: It's funny, I got a 40mm Pancake too and never looked up the guy you were talking about! Talk about a coincidence!

[@acupofcoffee2021]

Great find!!! The Pentax looks sooo good

[@thattechguy3452]

On the vivitar, it very clearly says Non-AI and you can also tell with the Bayonet/Bunny Ears on the aperture dial. You said it's an AI lens a few times.

[@acetrix2733]

Do you ever sell some of your cameras or you keep them all??

[@bhop.builds]

Leica makes the glass for the Lumix line of cameras. Hence the Leica logo. Good score.

[@btrdangerdan2010]

I used to go thrift shopping a lot when film cameras weren't being charged wack money for it , it was fun. But I don't do it often now since I moved to San Jose and been busy with school and don't have much disposable income these days 😭

[@StudioXane]

I need thrift stores like this in philly. everything here is clothes, glassware and broken vacuums lol

[@vangstr]

Dope find on that Spotmatic!

[@weisserth]

Neither Value Village nor Goodwill carry ANY cameras in my area. Not at all. I checked several times.

[@grafishing7921]

[@raymondandrew8415]

K2 is dope. I use mine with 17-40 L lens. Enjoy man.

[@Xottapchenko]

You shouldn’t have said “no” with that Minolta, they can be a little sturdy on hinges but it’s treatable with a bit of oil and a small knife - she could’ve been good as new

[@hisgallery]

I am always fond and envy those thrift store in america considerable it's cheap and bargain price. HAIL KING TO THE THRIFT STEALER! ALWAYS SUPPORT U HERE DUDE. 🇵🇭

[@MidTnOutdoors]

Awsome haul!! Happy Shooting!!

[@kerc]

Seeing that Canon, I'm surprised you'te not into Maxxums!

[@loudharley6926]

The best score is the Panasonic, anything with a Leica lens is a score. Leica sold the same model under their name also.

[@Mls2161]

If you end up doing a chrome delete on that digi cam that’d be a sweet video!

[@GabrielGGabGattringer]

On the analog cameras you grab from thrift stores, do you ever check light seals before purchase? The light seals of cameras Ive bought 2nd hand always were in devastating condition & needed replacement (= additional cost).

[@MikeLikesChannel]

Not that I’ve ever seen - but you’re right, 99% of thrift cameras are straight up trash. Around here, the thrift employees keep anything worthwhile. It’s just chance luck if they miss something.

[@pault4955]

In my part of the world finding any cameras in any condition in secondhand shops is rare. Ebay is a bit of a lottery these days.

[@jasonfong4414]

Is that a hickey?! 😂

[@edwardsblake3630]

I saw that too I was just checking the comments before I said anything 😂

[@stampydragon2739]

Honeywell is the sole U.S. importer of Pentax, I believe. But I hadn't seen "Honeywell Pentax" in the flesh... er, metal and plastic in quite some time.
