Yashica T4

[@97nelsn]

Your channel almost reminds me of one who would’ve found this camera for $5 at a thrift store, pull film from his fridge where he keeps his hairline/dignity intact, and has a friend who uploads videos at the same time; sometimes going on trips together eating bbq. Great video btw 🙌🏼

When loading my T4 I usually push the start of my film into the spool until it I can slightly pull and it doesn’t move. Then I click the canister in and as long as there’s tension it should wind over every time you close the camera. Something I’ve learned over the last year of owning mine. My T4 is very beat and held together with gaff tape, I still took it travelling overseas for 3 months and the photos were nothing short of amazing. It’s my go to point and shoot!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you! Gotta remember that for next time when I load some film in my T4. I can see why, it’s a great point and shoot.

[@adamlorden5666]

man, be nice to yourself. that shot at 4:20 is really epic.

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks! I really enjoy that photo too. Definitely something I need to work on

[@michabutkiewicz702]

Do I need to use infinity mode for all the photos I want to take from 5-10 meters away? I will use it for the first time tomorrow and I am confused... There are 5 modes, 1 auto flash, 2 red eye, 3 flash on, 4 no flash and 5 infinity, I could not understand the use of these modes...

[@adammissedfocus]

1. Auto - the camera basically handles everything for you. It will decide weather to take a photo with flash or not 2. Red eye reduction - If you are taking a portrait and you know it will take a photo with flash it will reduce red eyes. 3. Flash on - It will always shoot flash even if it’s bright out 4. No flash - It will not shoot flash even if the camera thinks it needs it 5. Infinity mode - It will focus to infinity. So best for far away landscapes or if you are shooting behind glass. I personally only use infinity mode if I am shooting behind glass. Cause in other situations the auto focus is pretty spot on from my experience. So no you don’t always have to.

​@@adammissedfocus huge thanks for the quick reply and the details, I am so excited to use it today :) Love your channel ❤

Even if you extend just enough film leader to get it going, the T4 winds on a lot of film before getting to frame 1. At least one wasted shot per roll. Other than that, an amazing camera. I took one to France last year and got a ton of great shots with it. Perfect for daily carry or while hiking/biking.

[@adammissedfocus]

I also feel like that might be the case, but not completely sure. Agreed, it is a really great travel companion.

Hi man ! I want to unload a 400 iso film which is inside of my t5 but theres 16 frames left inside of it. I need to put a 125 inside but if i rewind the 400, will it be possible to use it later or not ? Thanks

[@adammissedfocus]

Hi! Yea it shouldn’t be a problem to rewind the film quicker than intended, but sadly it probably won’t leave a bit of the film leader out, it will completely rewind it to the inside of the canister. So if you have a film retrieval method than it will be needed. Plus remember which frame you were on. Cause you will have to cover the lens and shoot till it reaches that frame (So it won’t ruin your previous exposures.)

Love the T4/SlimT but mine pretty much was kinda wonky on arrival. I got a T3 to replace it pretty much brand new, and love it. Also the 2.8 on the T3 helps with some low light a bit more

[@adammissedfocus]

Agreed. That extra stop of difference definitely comes in handy in point and shoots. The T3 is great.

[@maverickfarrah6965]

Having owned two different versions of the T4, feeding a lot of film in and taking multiple tries to get it to wind was present on both of them. Seems like a system-wide characteristic haha. Great video though!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for watching and letting me know! Was worried it was just my copies issue.

[@nQwar.]

Weirdly similar to @grainydays

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for watching! I can only hope that one day my videos could be 1/4th as good as his. He’s amazing.
