ThankYou for the discussion of such interesting and varied devices (I luv this & these)!!!!! In 1967 when I became excited about photography I started with a Mamiya 500DTL ,, But within a few months I bought my first Nikon FTN... and was quite naive about other equipment (other than SLR).... During my life many other cameras came to be used professionally as well as for fun. I went thru a buying spree of buying every type of camera for less than $10.00 (I still have large boxes of them that I take out and play with them).. About 20 yrs ago when I went to the birth country (Latvia)of My Wife, My future brother-in-law gave me a FED & a SALUTE (Leica copy, Hasselblad copy(Russian)) after that I could not help myself and I went on a collecting spree.... But by that time I was helplessly in the grasp of digital cameras. Now the Nikon Z Cameras :).. I cannot bring myself to use the Beautiful Collectables (the expense of using them and the slower pace) Thanks Again (Very enjoyable) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

I love the clean look of the Canon P, but for me, the viewfinder is too busy. I don't like having all the framelines for focal lengths I'll probably never use in the viewfinder. To that end, my choice is the latest version of the Canon 7s with the improved viewfinder. For me that camera is everything I need in a rangefinder.

As someone who was born not far from Wetzlar, where Leicas hail from, I can assure you it's pronounced "like-uh". No laying whatsoever.😄

I saw a camera for sale on Ebay which the seller claim could be unique. It was an early Fed, faked up to look like a Canon. A Russian Leica copy faked to look like a Japanese Leica copy.

I’d love a be Barnack but not yet ready to pay so much for one. I bought a zorki 4 loved the experience sadly had a bad light leak the seller offered to repair it but not heard from him for months I’m hoping he’s still with us. Anyway just bought a canon L3 just awaiting a lens to arrive it feels awesome. I like the look of the leotax the canon p is classy the 7 looks ok to me too. Cracking episode cheers 📷

Have myself a Canon P and L1 love them both
@trels20310 ай бұрын
Which would you prefer and which would you say has a higher quality build?
@GunnyDuns10 ай бұрын
@@trels203 honestly the build quality of the P is much better with the speed selector being the conventional rotational switch while the L1 has the lift-turn mechanism. The P also has a better curtain with it being a metal sheet (has its drawbacks too especially with reparability). But the L1 has a better viewfinder and rangefinder since you can switch from 35-50-rf as compared to the fixed frames of the P. If you can find one in the budget id recommend the VI-L

I have the canon Vi-T. Best looking Leica clone. With that Ltm 50mm 1.8. I seen many range finders but never come across any with a trigger winder like mine.
@kubrivsky645810 ай бұрын
I like Canon 7 since the look is just too beautiful but the only drawback for me is the absent of hot shoe. I like to use flash to capture like Bruce Gilden style and that's why a build in hot shoe would be nice. I know there's a coupler but I need to pay extra and with a hefty price.

Hello sir! Can you do a video on the Leotax K3 ? Can’t find anything on youtube. Great video as always! Thanks!
@enonurb10 ай бұрын
Another very interesting video from your channel, thank you. I have got several LTM cameras from Leica, Soviet models and the Canon P, each with its own set of lenses. The problem that I have experienced, is when I try to interchange the lenses between them. Most of the time I can't always get the infinity on focus. Do you have similar experiences? Do you have any solution?

I'd love to see the Canon 7 with the selenium window replaced by a piece, in black or silver, saying "Canon". Something for the 3D printing experts.

I'm sorry that you feel the need to pronounce words two different ways and to explain the reason for your own pronunciations. People that make petty comments about your pronunciation of brand names and other words need to get a life.

Is it difficult to get the light meter repaired in the Canon 7?
@David-hk3ly7 ай бұрын
It's not that is difficult but selenium panels are practically unobtainable. Some 7 models operate only in the low light mode and are stuck in the normal mode it should not be a difficult adjustment.

Russia also needed something for their optics factories to do after WWII so they helped themselves to the Leica blueprints while in Germany and geared up to make Leica knock-off cameras by the millions. Quality control is said to be variable with them. I have a Zorky 4-K, one of the last rangefinders they made, before their regrettable foray into SLR's. Pretty much all of the Russian Leica imitation cameras I see on e-Bay are listed from Ukraine.
