Kodak M38: How to Use + First Impressions

Рет қаралды 57,680

Күн бұрын

In this video, I talk about my first impression of using the Kodak M38. I compared it a bit to the Kodak M35 and the Dubblefilm SHOW camera. I also show how to use the camera, and a photowalk of when I tested the camera for the first time.
Fact check:
the sculpture I called "the screwdriver" is actually called the "Zipper."

The M38 is supposed to have a brighter flash but I haven’t tested that against the Agfaphoto’s flash. They pretty much yield the same quality photos~ I think the real difference is on price and aesthetics. I personally prefer the Agfaphoto’s look, but I like them both 😄

I recommend looking for photo labs near you that offer film development and scanning services. When you go to one, I'm sure they'd be able to help you with getting digital scans 🙂 You can also try developing and scanning on your own if you're brave. There are many tutorials out here on youtube if you search "developing and scanning film at home." This is not beginner-friendly though...

Hi! Would you know if in checking the m38 point and shoot camera is actually working (without film), the shutter must “open” and “close” when shutter button is clicked? Because that’s what I watched in some videos but the model is the m35 and the other one is an Olympus. So I’m wondering if it’s same with m38?

@Bonsees 2 жыл бұрын

If you don’t have film inside the M35 or M38, the film advance wheel won’t cock the shutter so it will not fire (the shutter will not open and close) if you press the shutter button. What you can do is trick the camera by turning the sprocket gear inside the camera back while turning the feel advance wheel (turn them in the same direction), and it should cock the shutter. It’s a bit complicated but lemme know if you need more directions

The only difference between the M35 and M38 is that the M38 has a brighter flash. I haven’t really tested how different they are because I don’t use the flash that much. If you don’t think you’ll be using the flash as often, then it’s ok to choose based on aesthetics 😂 which one sparks joy?

But if you’re a beginner, I’d stick to using the flash in doors or try experimenting

Hey! Newbie to film here and have been checking out your videos! I noticed that you also reviewed the the lomography simple use camera in another video too. Just wondering how you’d compare the simple use camera and the Kodak m38 in terms of the kinds of photos you get? Been meaning to get one of the two but am pretty torn. Some tips in deciding would be great! :)

@Bonsees 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe this video will give you an idea kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erFmaNWJ1bK1h2Q.html If I were shown two photos taken with either cameras, I probably won’t be able to tell which camera was used to take which. Maybe my M35 and SHOW camera produce slightly sharper images, but that could also be because of the film. So I just tell people to choose based on the camera aesthetics/ergonomics/price. The Lomography simple use is still the cheapest (at least here in Alberta, Canada) and the smallest, but it’s also the hardest to reload. The Kodak cameras are easier to load with film and comes in a lot more colours.

You have to turn the film advance wheel before you can take a photo because that’s how the camera readies it’s shutter to fire for your next shot. You just have to turn it until it doesn’t turn anymore (you’ll feel a hard stop and then you won’t be able to turn it again until after you take a photo), this will also move the number to the next. It’s all gear mechanics ⚙️ Hope this helps!

You should be fine. It’s sort of the same, the film rewind crank on these cameras just allows you to rewind the film back into the canister easily so you don’t have to break the camera in the dark room like what they have to do with disposable cameras. As long as the film is loaded correctly, I don’t see a reason why your film can’t be processed 😄

@Bonsees 2 жыл бұрын

@@wcyzabc6496 hmm S means you’re back to the beginning of the counter (start) and that usually happens when you open the back door. Did you accidentally open the back? Also, how many exposures did your film have? Some films only have 24 exposures and the film counter of the M38 goes from S to 36 (it shouldn’t have an E counter), so you could reach the end of the roll before the actual end of the counter. You might have pulled the film out of the cartridge in this case, which caused the film to lose tension with the camera. Try to rewind the film and see if you can rewind it, if you can’t and there’s no tension, it might be best to go to a photo lab that develops film and tell them what happened so they could open the camera in the dark and not ruin your film inside, just in case.

Is using kodak ultramax through kodak m38 advisable for concerts?

@Bonsees Жыл бұрын

Hmm that might be a stretch if the concert is at night/dimly lit, it depends on how bright the stage lighting is (and if they allow flash, some venues don’t). I know some folks who’ve used black and white film (Ilford HP5) with a similar plastic camera and were able to take good photos of an evening concert with a bright stage without using flash. I’d suggest either using an ISO 800 film instead if you wanna stick to colour (Lomography 800 is a great one, and of course there’s Portra 800 but it’s expensive), or perhaps a black and white film like HP5 which might be better because you won’t have to worry about colours getting all murky with underexposure.

If you're measuring in sunny-16, 200 ISO will probably have the best exposure in bright sunlight, so you're on to something 😂 I'm just always at 400 'cause I'm paranoid and it's the "safest." Had a past experience of getting underexposed shots with the lomography simple use camera haha

@@Bonsees Understood! Yes 400 will work better for a variety of light conditions. All the best! You can also use Kodak 400TX for black & white shots. Try it and see how you like it! 👍

Hello! Hear me out. I accidentally pressed the release/rewind button of my Kodak M38. What should I do? Can I still take pictures with it? Send help!!😭😭😭

@Bonsees 2 жыл бұрын

Just move the wheel advanced forward to the next frame (or take a photo first then advance if you can’t move the wheel) this will disengage the rewind button You might have some overlap in two frames but you should be fine 😌

@@Bonsees omg thank you for the reply. However, does the m38 is really like this? I compared it my fuji dispocam, that one has easy gliding reel. But in my kodak m38, the reel is somehow hard to glide and really needs pressure to spin? Is it normal?

@@kayenaps6145 hm you shouldn’t have to put as much pressure to turn the film advance wheel, it should pretty smooth. Is it always like that, might be a defect 😔

@@kayenaps6145 no worries, it could also be that the film is a bit stuck. Finish the roll and see if you can turn the film advanced wheel easier without the film. Part of why I like the Dubblefilm show camera over the M38 is that they do a quality check and film test their cameras before shipping them, so you have a bit more guarantee that they’ll work. But they’re pretty much the same camera. Good luck!

Do you have to wind it before every shot? What happens if you forgot to wind before you take another shot? Or is there a way to know that a certain shot is already exposed?

@Bonsees 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah you have to use the film advance before taking a picture. If you don’t, the shutter won’t fire. If you tried taking a photo and the shutter doesn’t fire, that means the photo’s already exposed
