Nice luxury videos 😊

Such an amazing collection! Loved this as always

Really enjoyed this video, thank you.

If you don’t get anxiety whenever you have to pick up a camera to go out to shoot, you’re not crazy to have so many. I have 15 cameras (film & digital) but in the end I really use 3 and feel bad whenever I see a neglected camera sitting on a shelf. 😢

this collection is insane, i love it. every camera is a grail for me

Congratulations 🎉on 3 years ! Looking forward to many more

Great presentation. 👏👏👏

I have to say that I loved watching this video along with one with you out with your friends shooting with the Yaschica T-4. I really like the pictures you’ve taken with the point and shoot cameras. It’s made me realize how under appreciated they were back when they were new. And now I am inspired to go find my old film point and shoot from 1990 to see if it still works.

As someone who began photo journey with Konica Autoreflex T, I was really happy to see you started with TC. Konicas are a very rare animals.

I love your collection! You have some of my dream cameras that I’d love to own in my camera collection one day😊

Thx for the applause. The Contax is my favourite out of your collection.

Solid camera setup!

The autoreflex tc was also what got me into film!! Small, reliable, and cheap

Peek apart is so crazy. Wonderfull combines with the Chamonix.

The 28 for the G1 is a great buy! I recently purchased the 28mm and I absolutely love it! My G1 came was a 90mm. I didn’t find much use for it so I sold it and bought the 28 with no regrets.

Excellent video 👍

Fun video.

OMG that little baby camera 22:45

That hasselblad... phenomenal

I like the lightbulb above your head. Nice idea 💡

Beautiful collection 😍 embrace the GAS haha the 1€ super 8 camera is such a steal!

I like that the neon lightbulb is right above your head, like you have a big idea in your brain waiting for acknowledgement the whole video

Many years ago I got a Rolleiflex 2.8C from a friend quite cheap because he didn’t enjoy using it. The first years I was really annoyed and had problems taking good shots, considering selling it again. But suddenly I got around things like the reverse viewfinder image, not so bright screen and seemingly slow operation and now I find it one of the best street photography cameras out there. People don’t see you or they think „what’s that?“ and gaze into the lens. Also, over time, this has often become a conversation piece helping to connect with strangers. The Seagull is probably s good picture take but also a little more quirky and slower than the Rolleiflexes, but you should definitely give it a try! Nice collection btw. Love the XPan. 👍

I would call this - MY LITTLE MUSEUM ))) Great collection!

Wow! You have lots of film cameras. I used to have many many cameras in my collection. For some reasons, after downsizing and keeping the only unique ones (in mint condition) limited to not more than eight or ten, I can focus better in my actual photography itself. But that just me! 😂

I also have trouble getting my cameras out often enough. There are 13 right now but mostly shoot four .... well, maybe five. When I start a roll in a camera, I try to finish it before loading a different one. Most are getting old now( like me) so I'm not out as often anymore. you made a good video and I hope you stick with your photography... you can shoot a life time and still find pictures right in front of you. The Konica is a cool camera. My first camera was a Konica Autoreflex T (2). Still here, I still shoot it, still love it... it just suits me.

Great collection of cameras ! The shots from the Hasselblad are stunning ! Especially the one at 14:26. That's my favorite !

I thought your shots with the Druh Synchro were the most interesting. I’ve never heard of it, but now I want one!

ha! i remember when you got that m6, good to see you're still enjoying it!

you have such a calming approach to your explanations! very nice and easy to watch

Congratulations on getting the Contax G1! I think I m also a little bit crazy, having one besides my Leica M4-2 and all the other rangefinders I own. But I definitely like shooting it, maybe even a little bit more than the manual rangefinders, because it s more convenient to use and the Planar 45mm is a fantastic lens. The X-Pan would be nice too, but I think I would not use it enough to justify the cost.

Hallo Karin, danke für dein schönes Video, hast eine Super-Sammlung und immer schön damit fotografieren, den die Kameras wurden fürs Fotografieren gebaut nicht für die Vitrine.

You're not crazy at all. When you start shooting film you start also collecting film camera, it's not a rule but I think this happens to many people. I just start shooting film a couple of years ago and I have 2 Instax, 4 35mm film camera and 2 medium format camera alongside my digital camera and different vintage lenses. Great collection Karin. Rosaria

I have a pretty large pile of cameras myself so your not alone!

You can still replace the battery in the prima sol!!!! I did it with mine. I got it dead and brought it back to life! You do have to open up the camera and replace it which is up to you if it's worth it. To me it was!

You really have a nice collection. I'm pretty sure most of us want most of those pretty cameras because they're cool models. Don't worry if you're crazy, we all are 😆

Congratulation on 3 years!! I can strongly recommend investing in more Contax glass! Then a G2! Keep up the great work. thanks.

Love your story Karin. My latest camera now vies with my M3 as being the most desirable to hold, look at and use. It is 6o years old and other people than me have described it as being of Leica quality. I cannot disagree - it is the Konica IIa.

You have great thrift luck! I still have yet to try a Bronica, but they look so good! That's probably the one I'd be most likely to steal off you.

Karin, you're not crazy at all. I have way more cameras. Most of mine are a collection, and though I've film tested nearly all of it, there Is a substantial chunk of these cameras which I use for serious photography. I own many of the same beauties, though I'm jealous of the G2 and X-Pan, I make up with it with a vast assortment of medium format cameras. I can't wait for my semester to end, and to slide back into my analog process full time!

Well done, Karin. I too, suffer from GAS. Maybe there should be a 12 step program, but then again, I don't want to be cured! I have been looking at the G1. Maybe I can sneak one in without my better half noticing...Cheers!

Hey Karin, went down that rabbit hole, too. But not only with analog cameras and lenses but also with vintage high-end scanners. Interestingly the only camera we own both is the Bronica ETRSi :) Cheers from Potsdam - Christian

카메라 콜렉션도 멋지지만 역시 사진이 멋지네요

Nice collection! Until now i only use my M6 for film but im considering buy a Pentax anolog camera, cause it also was the first brand i started with the hobby (Digital) To Nikon i would say the most iconic film cam is the FM2, no? Greetz and keep doing what you love :)

Glückwunsch zum Jubiläum!!! 🙌🥳🙌 Hab gerade mal geschaut, bin glaube ich wirklich schon von Anfang an dabei... Mag Deinen Output sehr, gerade weil er nicht nach Schema F funktioniert, Du dein eigenes Ding machst auf was Du gerade Lust hast. Zudem stets ansprechend und kurzweilig aufbereitet, Auch ein 26Min. Video... 😆😆😆 Bei Deiner XPan sabbere ich noch immer... Bei mir hat es bisher nur für zwei Pentax Espio 982 gereicht zum experimentieren... Zwar nicht ganz dasselbe, da auch nur Fake-Panoramas aber für den Anfang okay... Die erste hatte leider ein paar Aussetzer, weshalb ich später noch recht günstig eine zweite bekommen hab in perfektem Zustand. Ansonsten bin ich noch immer mit meiner Canon A1 zufrieden... Instax Mini reizt mich noch irgendwann... Auf die nächsten 30Jahre... 🥂😁 Zumindest für die Zukunft... 😉😁

I was impressed as there are a lot of cameras there that I have either never heard of or don't have and I have a lot, from quarter plate, to bellows, to medium format, to rangefinders, slrs, point and shoot, dslrs, compact, APS, and Micro 4/3 to many but over a hundred and then there are lenses, plus flash guns, bizzarly I found out about 10 years ago that my Great Great grandfather had a studio in Manchester UK and recently discovered that another family member had a different studio in the 1800s Fred Batho late with Lafosse and Albert Batho the first being my mother's Grandfather and my Nana who used to come to our house until she was 89 every Sunday and was born in 1882 died 1980 age 99 never told me, I have a photo of her taken with my kodak box brownie, and no one ever told me about the photography interest, Fred has some proof sheets in the National Archives at Kew UK I discovered the photography interst when looking to do a open university course and the photo that was then the introductory one, I thought was familiar and it was one of my mothers aunts! It's quite astonishing, so I guess it's on the genes. I'm 73 now and still collect! So don't worry, enjoy, you seem to fall lucky on something that you obviously love! I've just received a pentax K1000 today, that was from a student who used for her degree and she had all the original manuals etc, it will still be going in 100 years unlike the mirrorless and dslrs of the modern day, like tablets and i phones the tech will fail, so look after the mechanical! Regards David

if you liked the Planar on the Contax, you should shoot a Rolleiflex3.5 Planar as a real TLR. Also if you enjoy shooting panoramas you could consider a 6x9 Fuji Rangefinder (GW690). Great camera collection you have there 👌

I still have your old yashica t5 and it's still going strong :D

Oof you’ve got some dream gear! Etrsi, xpan, G1 and an M6??

I sure feels crazy doesn't it but when you stand there out and about pulling the trigger it sure feels good! That's my take on that after being set on the film path by my father gifting me his old yashica FX-D quartz and I will admit to that it did musical chair around my place for a time before I got some batteries and film in it and completely fell in love with photography in a way I had not since I was a kid with a point n shoot in the 90s. Pure magic. ALso I feel it is one of those things you can't measure in money spent... if you enjoy it it is worth the cost! ..even if my wallet cries!

I'm so jealous of that X-Pan and that Chamonix...😮. Nice collection. Übersauber! You should get a Minox spy camera. Look for a model B they are mechanic and cheap. Most of them work without problem. Have you tried peel apart film? I invite you for a coffe and a couple of shots in Bielefeld. 😉

Hello Karin I love your videos 🙂 I have a question - why do you prefer rangefinders to SLRs? I have only ever shot with SLR style cameras and I am not sure if I would like a rangefinder 😮

Danke fürs zeigen. Finde es immer super interessant zu sehen was andere so im Schrank haben. Mir gefällt deine TLR richtig! Ich liebe Kameras die ein bisschen out of hype sind. Die haben auch viel liebe verdient und nur weil da nicht Leica oder Canon etc drauf steht, heißt das ja noch nicht dass die Dinger super hochwertig sind. Ich bin auch schon wieder auf Ebay unterwegs um mich umzuschauen. Bei mir in Pforzheim gibts nicht wirklich gescheite Flohmärkte. Da muss man sich leider auf Ebay verlassen. Ich denke du bist noch im gesunden Mittelmaß was die Anzahl der Kameras angeht :D Geht ja auch immer schlimmer :D

I've been trying so hard to find a non-outrageously expensive WLF for the F3 for someone special ... ha ha. Such a pain. Great video, as always!

Having been a Contax G user from the time when they were introduced, best lenses for the Contax G cameras is the 45mm Planar, 28mm Biogon, 35mm Planar. These are the three best lenses in the Contax G offering. The 90mm sonnar is too long a focal length to be proper on a rangefinder camera, the 21mm Biogon required an external view finder, lens is optically good-difficult to use due to the external view finder_identical to the 16mm Hologon. The 35-70mm Vario-Sonnar is mixed. G1 is the basic version, the green sticker version has the upgrades allowing usage of all the G series lenses. Non green sticker G1 limited to 28mm, 45mm, 90mm. The G2 is larger, more feature ability to use all the G series lenses and is more sought after by Contax G fans. In many ways, the Contax G series in concept and in image making is essentially an autofocus Leica M series.

I mainly interested in collecting Canon, Leica, Nikon and Rolleiflex

Go get the 28mm for the Contax...it's a lovely lense!

Oh man I hope to one day get a M6 though I should probably get a cheaper rangefinder to practice 😂. The only rangefinder I currently have it the Olympus xa and man is it a fun little camera. I have so many cameras that I don’t even know what do do with. I want to downsize but I also don’t want to 😅. I live in the USA but if you are interested in a Pentax 6x7 let me know 😂 I have so many cameras but I think my favorites and the ones I will never sell are my canon A-1, Nikon F3 and Olympus xa all the others I could part with i really needed to. Well maybe not with the Yashica mat 124G I haven’t gotten a chance to shoot it but it’s such a beautiful looking camera I don’t think I could part with it 😅. I love camera collection videos so this was amazing. I’ve sadly had to slow down my film usage because it’s so expensive for me at the moment but digital is just not the same.

You're not crazy I think we all started with one and before you know it there are 20 or more

I have a Olympus af 10 super but actually never used it because I didn’t believed in its image quality

You have a nice collection. For your Super 8mm cine camera, have you considered processing the film yourself ? You can buy developing tanks that accept either 8mm or 16mm film and reversal processing to get a positive is easy to do.

Nice collection. I have a few and my favorites are my Pentax Super A and my Mamiya 645. I also gifted a Pentax MX and P30 I think and the persons were so happy they cried 😂 I love them until I have a Leica ;-)

The one I envy the most is the Nikon F3, I would love to have this camera but at the price they are selling now, it's too expensive for my usage of film camera right. Also the You Tube channel Odd ball camera recently did a video on a miniature TLR camera that use the 16mm film

thanks... now i want a film camera 😒😒..... haha

i’ve become a lens junkie recently instead of a camera hoarder. not that sharpness is all that matters but i’ve heard that surprisingly zeiss’ 35mm lenses out perform the leica lenses. i’m going to get a voightlander 35 f/2 apo. i sold all my nikon lenses to buy an m8 though

My father gave me a Kodak Brownie to take on my second grade field trip in 1960 at age six I have a room for the camera collection my is at 71 and I think I have every brand my newest is a Holga panoramic and a refrigerator for film. My friends seem to think That I might have some mental health problems thanks for the video

wow, great selection, but the Bronica etrs fits multiple of these (it fits 35mm as it has a 135 back, the Xpan catagory, as the 135 also comes in a W panoramic back, MF, as it is native 120), and it is a cheaper alternate to the V system hasselblads.

Danke für das spannende Video über Deine Analog-Fotoapparate. Darüber hinaus Gratulation zu deinem KZfaq -Jubiläum und viel Erfolg für Dein Patreon-Projekt. Solltest Du mal in FRA und Umgebung einen Rolle Film belichten wollen, gib mir einfach Bescheid,.

Romanticising vintage gear is normal because they come with a story already written, and every “pen” tells a story. If you choose to write a new story. Just one “pen” is needed.

Camera addiction blues. We all know where this is going. Empty wallets. 😎

You are definitely not crazy to own so many cameras. Sometimes that's the only way to know what you like to use. I'm currently selling some gear I don't use to pick up a Nikon FM3a. I've never used one before and want to give it a go. Who knows, maybe I'll make it a permanent member of my collection.

I think the biggest eye opener when doing such exercise is to list the market value of each camera. Once you add up the value of your collection, this is when things get very transparent for oneself. That's what truly shocked me when I did this for the cameras I have accumulated since 2012.

Do you always shoot your M6 with the soft shutter release button? I was wondering if I should add one to my camera.

What you need is a Fuji GS645 !

I’m as much collector as a user. If you ask my wife I have way too many cameras and if I’m honest with myself she is right. The jewels of my collection are my Hasselblad 500C, 503CX and 553ELX. I also have a Nikon F3 and also a F, F2, F4 and a 35Ti. For rangefinders I have a Canon P and Canon 7 and a Fuji GW690. My newest toy is a Fuji GX680III and it is indeed a back breaker. I do plan on using it to take landscapes so it is going to have to get used to being outside. If you’re crazy then I’m absolutely insane.

You are not insane for having so many cameras, course I have more! With that being said, I'm also older than you... On the other hand, I know it's rather cool camera, but in my opinion it was quite insane to buy X-Pan these days, even at a discount. For that kind of money, you can buy several other cameras and sometimes with a whole set of lenses for each of them. But with that being said, I understand, we all are just junkies. Gruß...

The ETRSi is by far the most expensive camera in my modest collection. I'm grateful I don't have any desire for Leica or Hasselblads or I'll be even more poor than I already am

10 years ago in a flea market I found a contax g1 with 3 lens for 250 euros, it seemed like a lot to me and I didn't buy it, today I regret it because it's worth three times as much...

If loving cameras is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Whenever I get asked how many cameras I own? my usual response is "way too many". Regarding your Prima Sol, it's likely that the battery cell has passed its lifespan. Maybe someone can replace just the cell and get it back to working condition.

Mir würde die M6 schon reichen 🤩

tolles video! wo kann ich diesen camera exchange finden? das klingt sehr interessant!

Andy Warhol did a great series of photos using the sx70. Check them out.

I was waiting for a fuji to pop up 😢

Hab grad das gleiche Problem mit der contax g1 Wollte nur testet ob sie geht und schon kann sie bleiben und sollte eigentlich auch wieder gehen 😂

Just a small side note regarding Polaroid. I just did some maths and assuming a Polaroid film costs €25.99 for 8 frames, then one frame comes to €3.25. If you take a Portra 400 in medium format (6x7) with 10 frames, estimate the cost per roll at about 16,90€ and develop+scanns 14,40€, then you get 3,13€ per frame. So polaroid is not that much more expensive...but we don't want to talk about the quality now ;) .

Karin…. Let’s face it… you are a spy 🤣

i have 7 cameras i get it its a fascination of research and learning and fun why not

I remember years ago when I watched this kind of videos or posts in forums I always thought "tsss, no point in having so many cameras, what a waste of money and time". Now I have 10 and counting. Because I am poor, other whise... ahahahahah

20:09 😅 the rule is clear

why your m6 can be so new after all these 5years？😮

Was that a Zeiss Ikon Contax 3(a) or a Russian clone? I have a 1953-4 Contax 2a colour-dial, in near-mint, with a Zeiss Opton 50mm Sonnar f2.0 and a pre-war 5cm f1.5. Got it at a local fleamarket for 50€. Those old Zeiss Ikon Contaxes are works of art, I'll never sell it!

Nikon F3 forever ….! Greatest (Nikon) (Film) camera ever! It is the Leica antidote, works great for good Micro-Contrast photographs with Zeiss Planar/Distagon/Sonnar lenses. Deserves 5 out 5 usage.

Have you noticed any significant image quality difference between the 35 Nokton and the 35 Summicron?

Challenge. One Month. One camera to use.

A lot of stuff.

The solar Canon is fixable. You just need to change the internal battery. And the 28mm Biogon for the G1 is absolutely recomendable for street. About the amount of cameras, you are not crazy at all. G.A.S. can be way worse than this :).

офигеть!

🙂... no, you are not crazy ... don't ask about my shelf.... 🙂

The Impossible Project 'Polaroid' film is just not the same as the original.
