Human beings are such strange creatures. We’ve spent 198 years to get cameras to be as sharp as possible, and the moment we reached perfection, we got bored.

I love your tiny mic! I think it's fascinating how your father and grandpa's cameras have been passed down to you. I also love how every one of your very different cameras have a personal story that comes with it. I wonder what new cameras (vintage or new!) you'll add to your collection!

The reason everyone's Dad had a Canon years ago was at least partially due to marketing. In particular, Canon pushed the AE-1 Program heavily, and hence, every new camera purchaser demanded a "program" camera. As Canon was the only manufacturer that had the word "program" on the camera (Minolta had a program feature on their camera but not the word), Canon dominated the consumer SLR marketplace at that time. I sold Canon, Yashica, Nikon, Fuji, and Olympus at that time, and everyone wanted a program camera, hence, a Canon. Some wouldn't even look at another brand.

Im a big hater of people not hiding their lav mics (usually the rode wireless ones, I'm ok with a tiny mic sticking out) but the tiny mic is SO much better than those huge black boxes on peoples shirts. This feels very, comfortable I guess? It gives a very welcoming feeling. Edit; watching more of the video, I really like your choice of SFX. They arent overdone and do their job of adding to the video, not distracting from it, they are very satisfying.

ur voice is so relaxing thank u

Loved my M645 Super. Never should have gotten rid of it. They're worth double now.

100% staying for more content. Love the way you present your pictures. THe good AND the bad ones!

So nice to see young people still into film. If you think the Mamiya 645 is heavy, try a 6x7! I don't use Sony but maybe time to upgrade from your A7S. 😀

First camera I had was my mum's Ae-1. I don't use it anymore as I am all grown up and have my own cameras now, but I still have it.

I'm not gonna lie, at the end of the video I thought "I wonder what the average film bill is at the end of each month" 😂

I've heard your voice a few seconds, and than your content a few seconds, and boom: followed. So excited to watch next videos.

I only got into photography at the end of last year, not entirely sure why I didn't do it earlier but yeah I got some great advice on how to start out which was to get a 5dmk2 and a 50mm lens. Didn't cost nothing but was still very affordable and it served me so well in learning the ins and outs and I think I could live the rest of my life never using anything else - however I did afford myself the luxury of getting a 24mm lens, then a 70-300mm and eventually upgraded the house to the 6dmk2 which has proven to just be a straight upgrade in every respect. The main advantages to the 6dmk2 over the 5dmk2 is the autofocus system and automatic ISO settings which has let me get action shots of little birds in flight in a way that I think I could probably have achieved with the 5d with enough preparation and patience. That said I don't tend to photo little birds like this a lot and tho it was a lot of fun when I first did, after the novelty wore off I didn't feel like that was *that* great of an advantage, however the thing that I do appreciate about it a lot still is the sensor quality upgrade. The 5ds sensor is great and more then adequate, buuuut it's really nice to be able to crank the ISO up and still get appealing results in a way that the 5d can't let me... If you shoot in good lighting conditions, not much of an advantage, but I tend to shoot a lot at night because I'm a weirdo like that and I really like it for that. My next buy will have to be a more compact camera tho, with an integrated lens, I love my camera and it's lenses but overtime I've gotten lazier and often thought to myself that it would be nice if I could just have something to bring out with me that didn't require me to carry a dedicated bag for it. No idea what to get tho, do you have any camera you'd recommend?

your perspective and yourself is beautiful everything about this video is beautiful ❤️

this is quite wholesome, claiming ..and just overall lovely

VHS shines like no other. i hope yours stay working and running well

Everything here is so beautiful! I often thought about starting to shoot on film, but I'm always afraid it won't turn out well. Videos like this inspire me a lot, so thank you and please keep it up❤

Cool collection! I inherited some random weird Nikons from my dad, but also my grandfather's Pilot Super from 1939 -- I have yet to load up a roll in that one but this makes me want to try. Also sweet to see those hi8 cams in the mix. I actually used my childhood Canon Vistura on a professional shoot once too -- a little nerve-wracking lol but it was fun

I have a Canon Eos 33 film in my closet. But now shooting on film and printing is as expensive as owning a private Falcon jet =)

nice set of cameras with talented and great moody examples. hope for more videos like this. u cool

congratulations to you all your cameras are wonderful and you must be playful you have such a WONDERFUL LEGACY..

oh my god unlocked childhood memory of playing with my dad's AE-1. i'm sure he's still got it somewhere

Great video! Looking forward to your next

The Polaroid SX-70 looks beautiful still! Glad to see you're taking such good care of it and your cameras in general :) Polaroids can be tricky but you can also experiment with them (there's even people who throw them in the microwave) Happy shooting Laura :D

with the super 8, I always first zoom in and then set sharpness, like this it's really sharp when I zoom in.

Great collection! I'm a big fan of the Mamiya m645; it does weigh a lot with that Prisim finder on top (the L-Grip accessory and a good strap help). But I love mine with the waist-level finder, and the lenses are top-notch.

We have similar tastes lol 😂 I have a Canon AE-1 and the Polaroid SX 70, I wanted a Kiev 88 (bought a Bronica S2A) Have a Sony handy cam with infra red mode too. Fun stuff.

Your cameras are so cool!!!!!

Fantastic video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Awesome video, thanks!

Ooh loved getting to see this collection of film and vhs cameras. I'm actually looking to get the Canon AE-1 to get back into film 😂 But I am curious to check out some of the others you've mentioned, like the medium format ones. I have a few Polaroid cameras, definitely a favorite of mine. So happy this video came on my homepage, I can't wait to see your future videos!

Very nice! Greetings from fellow DoP from the Netherlands 🙂 edit: and I subscribed to your channel!

Love that Canon Super8, mine just died halfway through a shoot.

That was amazing!!! ❤

Sick video

great video

The cameras are awesome, but the tiny mic really stole the show

lovely collection! Perfectly balanced between film and digital, also how hell did you shoot kodak 50d at night ?

Awesome video!! I have a lot of similar cameras too you! Subscribed

Nice cameras. I am strictly analog when it comes to photos and videos. My video is a mini DV camera. I like the public access tv look of it. And ebay I can still get the mini dv cassettes for it. Contax t2 is going for crazy money so treat it with kid gloves. I think you can get your movie developed at a place in Pennsylvania or contact the Film Photography Project they may know of a place.

I was thinking you should also give the PXL2000 a go (if you can get one).

I LOVE the T2 but reliability of it is like being in a situationship, I know it won't last long term 😔

Love your work. Which large(r) format models do you recommend on a budget for someone who’s only shot 35mm?

I own most of these cameras myself (minus the vhs/hi-8 ones, the Contax and the g7x). For the Canon Super 8mm, have you seen any issues with overexposure when shooting 500T? I know that it doesn't 'support' 500 speed film because it didn't exist yet when it was released! So I try to shoot 250D or Tri-X instead. I've also seen some slight battery improvements putting my A7s into Flight mode, if you aren't already doing that!

Really soothing voice. Do people stare at you when you whip out one of your vintage cameras to take a picture?

You can remove that 30minute limit on your Sony camera. I do it to all my Sony cameras LOL.

great video, subbed! what lens you got on your sony?

man talk about going retro. Did you take all of the pictures? Can you talk about the scanning process please :-)

Wow great cameras and content. Just curious what kind of setup you use for stabilizing your a7? I'm looking to buy a glidecam and try to learn to use it.

I kinda understand the camera stopping after 30 minutes. how many scenes are you filming in 4k that are taking more than half an hour?

ого круто что сказать

whats your mic?

Do you print in a darkroom because if you don't sell them cameras and buy digital ones… we taking photography back. Imagine Robert Frank showing people cameras it an apparatus that's all

Is your boyfriend single ? i want a 645 so bad

Oh, if you are older, one gets bored by this kind of videos! Cameras familiar to everybody, bad pictures, nothing new you have to say. Sorry

if your camera is working correctly, focus is always a you problem. Took me a while to get focus quickly on a 4x5 but now its almost second nature.

The A7s or some other Japanese cameras stops recording at 30 mins is due to the fact that according to Japanese regulations, cameras capable to do recordings over 30 mins will be classified as video recorders, making them falling into a different tax bracket and requirements, hence many of the manufacturers simply made the limit to 29mins 59 secs. I believe there are ways to bypass it tho
