one of the rare small channels with great delivery

[@AimShootDevelop]

I have the Olympus IS-20 and although it’s build is strange it’s a fantastic camera to get when getting into film photography! Good straightforward video!

[@Lostin35mm]

These cameras are just the perfect tools for beginners! Glad you liked the video!

[@stephaneg]

Nice video dude! Very helpful!

[@Lostin35mm]

Thanks! 😇👍🏻

Thanks man! excelent review of a super underrated camera!

My dad had the is-1000 model. Can't wait to try it

Lost in - I find the Olympus IS line of Cameras are Forward thinking and more Advanced than others like Canon PHOTURA and Minolta . as a Former camera salesman in the 1990's , the Camera chain I worked for Stocked the Full Line of Olympus ZLR - zoom lens Reflex , aka Bridge cameras. Before there was the IS series Olympus partnered with Konica , using their Mirai cameras , and Chinon Genesis to cerate their AZ series Lineup. did you know in Japan Olympus had a Full Range of Acessory for the IS series , including Ultra Wide lenses, and Telescopic add on to the built in lens , and even a GUN style stock and stabilization Rails for the Acessory lenses. and the IS series continued into the APS film era and went on to make Digital cameras based on the IS Design.

my 2 unit of is-3000 just arrived from Japan! this video is the reason i bought it. cant wait to test it out since they also give 2 free rolls of film.

[@FalandodeAmenidades]

I just bought the IS-300 and although I'm just starting the first roll of film I think it's a nice camera. The autofocus is better than I expected and the overall experience is very pleasing.

[@Lostin35mm]

The autofocus surprised me aswell :D These cameras are just really impressive!

[@markplott4820]

the Olympus AF is great because its a real TTL sensor , unlike compedators. Olympus also provides a external AF assist beams and one of the Few cameras with Wireless RF flash.

[@Szymon7573]

Great video! I love Olympus. You should try out IS-5000

[@keylaiglesias5533]

Could you do a video saying how to use the camera, it will help me a lot...

[@Lostin35mm]

You should check out the manual for the camera, it's really detailed and easy to read! www.cameramanuals.org/olympus_pdf/olympus_is-3dlx.pdf

[@keylaiglesias5533]

But... It's the same things? Because you explain the olympus is 3000 and the manual is of the olympus is 3dx

[@Lostin35mm]

Yes, the is-3000 was called IS-3 DLX in the US if I remember.

[@keylaiglesias5533]

Oh Okey, I didn't know that. Thankyou a lot

[@neilrobinson5115]

I have the is-3000 in my collection with a couple of screw on lenses,with the round rm-100 remote,I also have the is-3000 quartz date model too,I had the is-100 years ago but then moved up to the 3000,I love the design,2 x cr-123a batteries for power and your off,it uses the Olympus s-wrap film loading system,I loved it in 92 and still do,they were £600 when new,great video and still great camera.

[@tonyfoulkes9289]

If you use the 6+ different setting off the back screen it is very very sharp focusing. Useing flash gives you better results.

[@retropad2020]

Hi, you mentioned about the flash for better result, is it including using the flash in daytime? Thanks

[@tonyfoulkes9289]

@@retropad2020 yes in daylight, often at friends weddings and with the setting of people. Flash used was FL40.

[@retropad2020]

@@tonyfoulkes9289 thank you! cant wait to try mine!

Great video. I bought one of these amazing cameras based on your brilliant review. By the way, I was blown away by your English. It is so good. I wish I could speak my second language (French) half as well as you speak English.

[@Lostin35mm]

Thank you so much! It's truly a great camera :)

[@Frisenette]

The external flash is the only way to use this indoors away from windows. And it’s not a basic flash at all! It’s one of the best flashes ever made. The IS-3000 has flash modes that take into account ambient light and distance. And the shoe flash can talk with the camera through the proprietary coupling. The only way to get good indoor flash shots is with bounce flash and that is superbly well supported.

[@iravi6955]

I bought one of those month ago. On my first roll now and in hope it will all work out well 😄

[@Lostin35mm]

Good luck on your first roll! Let's hope it will work out👍🏻

I have the IS 1000. These bridge ZLR film cameras are legendary

[@angusbrown325]

Great video. Loved it.

[@issaidguerrerosuarez7737]

Como hace para conseguir las imagenes???

[@alexjordan7020]

Is there a service manual or repair manual for the IS-3000?

[@Grimm1337]

I can't figure out how to load this film? Perhaps my model is broken. No matter how many times i've tried to align the leader it will still show Empty :(

[@Lostin35mm]

There is a small red lip over the shutter that helps to keep the film flat when loading. If you’re tucking the film under that and pulling it all the way to the marker and it’s not loading, it might be that your model is defective :/

[@nagilagomes7988]

Amei! Suas fotos ficaram incríveis! ❤️

[@JohnAMozzer]

Would you please show yourself loading film into this camera? I'm asking because I am trying to make sure scans of photos, which I believe were shot with this camera, are in chronological order. The negative film strips are confusing because when viewing the photos in right reading orientation, the frame numbers and film IDs are up-side-down.

[@TheUnF_Net]

Bought one and having errors loading film. Any1 helping ?

[@rym3049]

Hi. What's battery for this olympus ?

[@martinarenas3705]

What film would you recommend to load in the camera ?

[@Lostin35mm]

My personal choice would be Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultramax 400

[@markplott4820]

kodak EKTAR.

[@DFermain]

It's a super camera. A bit heavy but gives beautiful results.

[@markplott4820]

IS-1 is lighter , but IS-3 is Feature Rich.

[@chewmunzingnicholas2595]

hi there！wht kind of batteries tht can be use for the camera？

[@Lostin35mm]

It uses 2 CR123 batteries!

[@chewmunzingnicholas2595]

@@Lostin35mm can be any brands batteries？thx！

[@Lostin35mm]

Yes, any brand of CR123 batteries works!

I got one a few years ago in a thrift store in the Netherlands for 17 euros

[@nikigleeson3205]

Hey there! This is an awesome vid and I just bought this camera but I’m having trouble loading the film in. Could you help???

[@Lostin35mm]

Hey! The film is loaded by opening the back, putting the film canister in the compartment on the right and pulling the film from the canister over the shutter to the left, there is a small red lip on top of the shutter that will help to keep the film down. Then pull the film all the way over to the "Film Tip" marker on the camera, after which just close the back and the camera should wind the film to the first frame automatically. Hope this helps!

[@nikigleeson3205]

Thank you so much I appreciate it!!

[@owenskene3946]

I have tie IS-3 (in America),, Just shot a roll of color slides, WOW.

[@giuistefanjr72]

Hope this goes high in price. I have one in perfect condition!

[@broco9744]

brother, I have the same camera. please throw off the video in detail where to manually change the iso !!!

[@Lostin35mm]

You can’t manully set the ISO on this model unfortunately. The most you can do is try to play with exposure compensation to for example overexpose by 1-2 stops

[@broco9744]

@@Lostin35mm what settings could be better with exposure when I need to shoot at iso 6-12.

[@Lostin35mm]

You could always meter manually with an external meter and just use the camera in full manual to get past the cameras dx code reader.

[@broco9744]

@@Lostin35mm well, look ... I need to photograph on expired Soviet film ... on iso 3-6-12 .. How can I set the necessary parameters for it if my Olympus does not have ios settings?

[@Lostin35mm]

The ISO is needed only for the camera to do automatic exposure. You could have an external lightmeter (like a sekonic or just a phone app) and in it set your ISO for example at 6, then it will tell you the shutter speed and aperture needed. Then you’ll just set the camera to full manual and set the settings to what your meter tells you. That way you can shoot any ISO film in the camera, you just can’t have it automatically expose it for you.

[@LinoCrafts]

u actualy cann add extra lenses on top of that lense

[@residentpav6963]

У меня такая камера как с завода. Не знаю как и что. Пленку надо купить, батарейки... И заюзать
