Beautiful idea , I have already purchased one

Can i still Buy This Kit of Setup ?

real helped me a lot

That’s a great video. I bought an F3 two years ago but I’m just starting to use it now. Focusing is a bit difficult, as the split image in the centre isn’t very visible, especially when focusing on horizontal lines. Would you have any suggestions?

Great video thank you man. I just have one question- On my battery check, when i switch to C for the check it stays on C. Doesn’t automatically go back to ‘Off’ and the light meter needle stays in the bottom red area. I barely noticed this after shooting my first roll. Is it still possible to shoot like this or do i need the light meter needle? I appreciate any help, thank you !

A unique classic.

7:20 then what’s the “B” of Bulb for??????

If Pentax had the time and money to make a new camera they should have made a proper one. Interchangeable lenses a shutter speed dial. Full 35mm frame

Perfect video to watch if you’re a beginner or just want to know everything about how this camera works

What will a young person (teen years to early 20’s) will need to buy (as ecosystem) to develop, print and digitalize the film? How much more will they need to spend?

Saya punya kamera canon f-1n . Mau di jual

oh nice I have an S2 with 50 1.4. Such a nice camera.

wow that's so interesting

If you try to use in low-light with the flash it's virtually unusable. The flash-ready light is so bright you can't see anything in the viewfinder so returned mine as I do a lot of low-light photography. Also struggled t see the frame lines in certain lighting conditions. Pentax definitely need to look at the brightness of the LEDs next to the viewfinder as this has not been an issue with some of my previous similar cameras.

It has a stepless shutter. It does tell you what the shutter speed is. When 125 and 250 are flashing it's telling you the shutter is in between those two numbers. You can chioose whichever one of the numbers you want as your exposure you gently turn the ring watching the lights. Us old guys know how to do these things.Stepless shutter has so many advantages. Was more desirable to have. Now people don't want to think. Point and shoot. Sad.

Are you guys able to repair FM2 light meters?

I thought my original Canon F1 was peak mechanical only engineering - now I need a canon rangefinder

Isn’t this like a $3k lens on a $100 camera? 😂

All completely wrong! This is one and ONLY right procedure:czcams.com/video/Fcy86A-wj-o/video.html

A 500$ + joke. My bet is that they are unable to make usable focal-plane shutters, except horizontal fabric rubbish, so as for new stuff you'll been stuck with this kind of garbage until film production stops for good.

I have used in the past as a assistant photographer the Hasselblad 500cm and the SWC with its fixed superwide lens that you had to use a tape measure for focusing. I have also used the RB67 but fancied the Fuji GX 6×8 camera and this to had a revolving back. I liked using occasionally fixed lens TLR cameras like Rolliflex and Yashica But my favourite camera I actually owned was the Bronica S2a with a rare 100mm f2.4 made by Carl Zeiss in Jena I also got a photo used from this camera for a book cover. A 30 year old camera at the time the picture was published. I also liked the idea of being able to use a tilt shift bellows instead of the cameras helicoid. Always fancied trying out the Mamiya Universal or 23 with it 6×9 format. Very cheap well made camera!

The olimpus is the odd one out with the shutter speeds around the lens throat. The good thing about this, is that you dont need to take your hand off the lens area to change shutter speed. Similar to the Hasselblad medium format cameras. What really made the Nikon F2 popular was it's use in the Vietnam War showing off it's ruggedness and taking those images in extreme circumstances! My dad had the F2 and I had the FE Great channel!

It's like 90% of viewers dont watch the video. It's the top 10 search Pentax cameras (on their site I assume), not their favourite Pentax cameras.

I thought this camera is ugly, but the details make it beautifull ☺️

What camera is that & do you recommend it? If so, what are your fave film stocks to shoot on it?

The f6 deserves a better 50 than that.

What lens is this? It looks like its for the M bodies, yet its LTM

I will give it 6 months to Pentax realize the huge mistake of making this toy camera.

Hasselblad 500cm that what I shoot very dependable. I’ve scuba dived with my hassy

Why does yours have a way smoother sound than mine? Mine makes like a winding noise. Something similar to what you would hear on like a wind toy

Lovely peace of art. The only thing I don't appreciate it lacks the ability to focus. You have to guess the distance

Would love to see a top 10 value for money point and shoot recommendation.

I totally agree with you. There's not a word about the picture quality in this review and according to other ones (very few) I guess this camera is worth the money. And what if a beginner, with is new and lonely camera, really fell in love with photography and wanted to print ? Should he buy something else and pay again ? Why would people be stuck in one category ? But let's keep calm. I this channel is mainly market oriented and thinks this way. This said, I think they miss a large range of potential consumers who aren'y only waiting for the next "pro" camera that they "deserve".

You will def need NDs. I was getting overexposures with a 100iso film.

how does Pentax think, that people will finish their pictures? (scan, photolab, ...) what do you think or recommned? thank you

This was SO helpful, I’ve had my grandfathers OM-1 for years and never knew how to use it so it just collected dust! I can finally use it, hope I get it right lol

😮

I mostly shoot digital but am old enough to have started with film in the 90's. I have a couple of old ish 90's Canon EOS SLRs and I agree about the worry about reliability. Like you say, I feel each day they still work is a blessing and would love to have a new affordable film SLR camera that I didn't have that reliability worry. Hats off to Pentax for making this camera and i keep my fingers crossed that they someday, make a full frame SLR!

Shame on you. This is not acceptable. One must be blind to look at film photos nowadays. You want a film look, just apply countless filters to digital processing of RAW data. “ film community” I have not enough words of disapproval for your consumeristic hedonistic approach to global resources. You want all this chemical dirt back? What for? For your wasteful pleasure of getting one good frame per film? Which you will then scan anyway to treat in your PC? Do you know how much unnecessary chemical waste you produce. No? Ask AI. “Film community” you must be out of your minds . Stop consumeristic wastefulness.

How did people function before CZcams tutorials? Much appreciated

This was very well done.Thank you. I have an early 70s F-1 like this one. And at the other end of the FD system lifecycle, I also have a Canon T90. I'd love to see a guide like this produced for the T90.

There’s another difference on the back of the F1n a slotted window for the film carton end to display the loaded film stock

The shutter + film advance sound of the Olympus AF-1 takes me right back to my childhood as it was my mom’s camera she took everywhere until we got our first digital camera in ‘98. It’s still in a drawer at her house I should borrow it from her

so beautiful filmcamera ❤

no ricoh r1?

I just managed to get my hands on a Hexar AF Classic 120th anniversary limited edition with serial number 0000120 <3 love it

The last true SRL ...

Is this the best (film) camera I can buy for $500? Only tell me the truth.

Oh my God I found my x700 in a box when I stored it when I was 17 years old. I have grandchildren now. The most interesting thing are the comments I didn't know that people would even use this camera anymore. It's what got me interested in photography

I think Pentax really thought through this one. I’ll be buying one.
