i travelled the world with a medium format camera, A 1971 yashicaMat. Not the best camera, but good enough, light enough, small enough and cheap enough to fit in a suitcase and come with me everywhere. #Olitography #mediumformat #yashicamat
Is the 90 Year Old Voigtlander Brillant FUN to Shoot With?
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 5 měsíci
I Spent last summer in Mallorca, with the 90 year old Medium format Voightlander Brillant camera, I took a bunch of pictures which turned ok. Though the camera itself is not an easy one to use. These cameras are going for over £100 these days but i'm really not sure why #voightlander #brillant #tlrcamera #tlrfilmcanera #vintagecamera #filmcamera

zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 6 měsíci
I found a polaroid Sun 600 And some old film that had been left on a shelf for 20 years. The film was dried up and useless. But now we can get film for these cameras again. We went out to the colour factory in Chicago and took some pictures and had some fun.

Skiing for Large Format Landscape Shots

Large format film photography on skis, what could possibly go wrong? The goal of todays video is to Ski down the mountains with a 4x5 camera, to take landscape pictures in places you normally wouldn't be able to, to get some sweet, sweet large format images, in the French Alps. We also compared the large format images to images taken on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra which turned out to be infuri...
Stepping Back In Time: Using A 1950s Kodak Brownie In 2023
zhlédnutí 9KPřed rokem
Using Kodak 620 Brownie box camera in 2023. These days I shoot digital for work, but How hard can getting results on a 1950s Kodak Brownie Model C actually be? Actually its really not that easy. It takes patience to shoot film on a camera worth less than a single roll. But if the mountains there you just have to climb it i guess. You can now buy prints of the images from these videos at Darkroo...

Excellent
Awesome video! I'm working on a R.J. Beck Frena No. 10 myself. It's from 1903, so it's more than 120 years old! Sadly, every mechanism is jammed, and schematics are impossible to find. Any advice on what to do?
The shutter? If it’s genuinely seized, you might be able to free it, with advice people have given on this channel, graphite or lighter fuel. Not WD
It took me ages to figure out where to put the batteries. Turns out, each film cartridge IS the battery, built into each cartridge.
Question -- injecting the oil in that hole did it ever leak everywhere in the camera after snapping the shutter?
It never did, but I wouldn’t use too much, since doing the video. I’ve learned that’s more of a superficial fix, but it works
@@olitography Thank you for the advice!
I am just learning to use a 1A that belonged to my grandfather. F stops are marked 4, 8, 16, 32, 64!!
Look up the 120 year old camera video
I have the rosewood version. But I don't call it 'massive'.
Great video, beautiful model
Awesome view awith an wlequally awesome photo with that Kodak. Where i live i have a store that sells old cameras like this. One caught my eye which is a 600 polaroid alongside a weird silver polaroid machine which has a black button and flash? Feature basically it looks like a thing you use in powerpoint presentation to switch slides if u know what i mean. Wanted to ask is it worth buying it because i personally love those types of machine and can we in modern days find film to print and battery too?
These really are brilliant cameras. Nice viewfinder, good lenses, easy and ergonomic to shoot. I have many ‘real’ TLRs but I really like the Voigtlander Brillant for many situations. Just set it to the hyperfocal distance and stop it down a bit and point and shoot. Since when is zone focus complicated? I’ve shot a whole roll in a couple minutes no problem. Some modern films are too thin for the wind stop to work well, in that case you’re better off using the red window. Some brillants had a Heliar lens which was better than anything Rollei had in the late 30s. If I had to pare my large collection down to a dozen cameras I would include one of these for sure.
Blue moon camera sells 400 iso 116 film, its a great film, as i have used it in my Kodak No.1A Autographic Jr. Model A. Some of my best images were from that roll.
Noice
I have one of these. I am getting inspired by watching this and some other videos to have a go. Thanks. Avery good video. cheers Geoff
Hello , great content ,1 ! I wonder whats the program u used for the 3d scheme If you can share the name would be great! thanks!
I can’t figure out how to clean up the viewfinders, I have some sort of 1920s Kodak brownie and the viewfinders all white and fogged up although I can barely see a bit through. Do you or anyone else have advice?

I love the Japanese cameras but I don't love the Japanese lenses.
I’ve owned an R4, an M6 and a lllB ..1938 vintage .. l eventually selling R4, buying into the rangefinder camera system. The M6 plus acquiring a couple of lenses.. l loved the rangefinder cameras. They just felt so beautifully made, were whisper quite in operation. Even the lllB, after being professionally serviced worked just fine, The screw on lenses were a bit soft by standards of the day but still gave pleasant results…The love of small quiete cameras stayed with me, l now use Olympus Micro 4/3 system. These cameras still retain that small solid well made feel l remember from forty years ago… Leica, Expensive Yes, but quality never comes cheap
Beautiful images. This is a treasure of a channel. Thank you for sharing.
I have a Rollei and can’t believe how big visible parts of this camera must have been made by the same company. In particular the handle and metal around it, the whole front showing the settings, the focusing knob and even the name plate with its serial number ! The collapsicle finder is pretty close too as well as the back locking system ! Great camera, do not worry about reversed image in finder.
Its a pretty good camera. It was given to me so I went and shot a roll of portra 800. Got 20 great images from 1 roll.
I appreciate the way you break things down
What film do you what but can not find ? I have a shoo close by that has old and new film
I don’t know that there is I used to shoot a lot of E6 but it doesn’t date all that well. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear?
Do have to thank you for the videos! You make the best videos on old cameras . All the info we need and no bs. And a good history. My request would be you pics for your favorite cameras in each category.
Thank you, what would the categories be?
Great video! I am about to take my inherited Canon A1 on holiday. Quick question. When using in fully automatic mode, I can see ‘eeeee’ in the viewfinder. What does this mean??
I have one and I love it. It was a gift from a friend and I will enjoy this camera for years. I’m going to start using this for my weddings this year. This video makes me proud
Can you do an tutorial, i have one.
I guess you're not that strong.. I'm 72-year-old man and carry and use my D850 with battery grip and 70-200 f2 on one shoulder and the F2as with 21mm Carl Zeiss ZF-2 nikon mount on the other shoulder for hours at shorts events. My advice is to get rid of the man bun and hit the gym.. grins
The man bun is the source of my creative powers!! And my limp wrist
Fab camera with a whole lotta' "you don'tt need" -
I had a Nikon F, I used to joke that if it fell on the floor, the floor would break and the camera would keep on shooting as if nothing happened. according to legend the Nikon F once stopped a bullet!
I’ve seen that camera, though I can’t remember if it was an F. (It had a hole in it and was sort of stoved in.) The film plate really saved him. It belonged to Don Mcullen, though it might not be the only one to be used that way. Great use for a Nikon 😂 actually I’m not sure a Canon would have been as effective a bullet shield.
@@olitography yes, it was Sir Don McCullin whose camera saved him and it was indeed his Nikon F. His war photography and photojournalism in general are amazing works. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2016.
Youre dedication is admirable, thanks for sharing with us
These film cameraes are so beautiful I don't even care about the inconvenience of having to develop the film later if anything it keeps you in the moment
It's ok, mummy and Daddy will buy you a Hasselblad 🙄
Sadly Daddies dead,💀 so I have to buy my own Hasselnlads, but if it makes you feel better Fujifilm just gave me a camera (GFX) for making these videos😜
I use a Yashicamat LM with 120 film (just got back from Mark Hama in Georgia from a CLA) and a Yashica 44 with 127 film (purchased Ilford 400 from their ULF Sale) and am processing it in the AGO Film Processor right now! Mr. Hama can CLA your Yashica’s reasonably (he was a Yashica employee years ago)!
I’ll Check him out, one day I’ll visit Georgia
What do you think about the Mamiya c220/330?
Only used the c220 briefly ad the bigger slr medium format camera are such beasts
1:16 There are actually may ways of calculating the value of $12 from 1910 in today's money depending of what one uses to inflate it to today's money. I say the camera cost something like $900 in today's money. Here is the price of the camera today if it's price was calculated relative to the following things: Average Wage: $910 Gold Price: $1,048 Silver Price: $550 Loaf of Bread: $600 Home Price: $1,520 Oil Price: $1,044 Big Mac Index: $1,008 College Tuition: $2,160 Medical Cost: $2,580 Movie Ticket: $2,400 Car Price: $1,200. Energy Price: $1,080 Minimum Wage: $960 Public Transit Fare: $600 Clothing Cost: $720 Furniture Cost: $1,200
90% of the 4 people? how is that?
use a tripod with 1/30th sec. shutter!
You're likely dealing with the fact that new film is much thinner than old films. The mechanism that catches the film does not register as well.
clean the shutter then use a dry graphite powder to lubricate
you use a dry graphite powder to lubricate the shutter not oils
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of the best videos I've seen about salt print. I have a question at what point do I add the gelatin? Would it be in the preparation of water and salt or would it be in the dilution of silver nitrate?
It’s been a while but I don’t recall use g gelatine for the basic salt print. You could use it stop the solution stacking into the paper. And give a crisper print. But then you could also make an albumen print by coat I guess the paper with egg white.
Loved that last image.
I recently bought one of these from a certain online auction site for about £50 with a "faulty shutter". Upon receiving it, I unscrewed the front and rear lens clusters and applied rubbing alcohol to both sides of the shutter blades over a few days to clean it up. It now works perfectly. Bargains are there to be had!
Not bad
We still have ours from 1984? We are going to order some film. It’s like brand new.
The film (considering it was expired) probably had been exposed to sun light at some point thus ruining the film. I suggest you buy some new film to test it :)
Nice video. Just pulled mine out from my late father’s collection. Will run a roll through this weekend. Wish me luck.
Amazing photos from the Kodak. Modern photographers are trying to recreate that look with old lenses and digital cameras. I own a restored Ansco Viking from the 50’s and I love the images. Great job.
This is a wonderful video, I'm so happy I stumbled upon it whilst learning about Diana F+ cameras! I'm wondering if you know of where I can find more information on getting film through airports and the struggles that may present? I'm based in Australia and travelling to Italy and France in 2 months, and would love to take my film camera with me and take as many photos whilst over there as I can. Thank you again for the informative video and congratulations on your marriage! :)
This Lady made some great videos on it czcams.com/video/mTyfM8gzdcE/video.htmlfeature=shared
I've used 620 all my life (53). Argus 75 was my first camera. Spool 120 to 620 before you shoot. Also be sure your lab returns your 620 spools. Cutting down 120 spools to fit, always causes binding. Yes, it does depend on the camera. My Kodak Duo 620 is fine with a 120 spool, but my Vigilant Jr is not. I still have the Argus. I began photography when I was 6.
