Video

I just got this camera a couple of weeks ago. Great camera love it. It takes very good pictures for the pictures I like to take.

I have a question!! What do you do if you just bought a sd card for your camera but it says the card may be damaged or broken but it’s not because I just got it

I recently picked up a 18mm quantaray with a nikon AF mount. Can’t find much else over here (UK) is there an EU equivalent for this brand?

Ok I bought a bushnell range finder v2 model second hand well even though I put a new battery in it still does not read any targets when I put the crosshairs on it and push the measure button could you fix this and possible do a video on repairing this viewfinder and possibly make a video on it I can send it to you and pay for repairs

Just inherited one of these from my grandma who passed away at 102 🩷

Glad I found this video. Just picked up one of these to add to the collection. 👍

Hi, David! I was just wondering if you could put a link for the battery & charger, or recommend some good ones?

how come most of the pictures look like HDR

Thanks so quick and simple! Ready to snap away for the night!!

ah.. uses a size 'aaa' battery - good to know!

I have the f/2 and the f/2.8 and I enjoy them both on my film OM bodies. :-) Thanks for the analysis!

I just picked up a used D70 to use with some vintage lenses I acquired. There is something to be had about using this beast/boat anchor of a camera. Thank you for these straight to the point, easy to follow video lessons!

I think we can call this one Lomo 😁👍🏻

I think Sigma did a Qauntaray version of this, same spec

Looking at the front of the lens I always thought that the plastic bits are just a simple mask that can be peeled off. It is baffling to me that they went to the trouble of actually cutting off parts of the lens. I can't think of any possible performance benefits that can't be achieved by a simple mask. With that said, I kind of like the squarish bokeh, but it would be nice to have it as an option and not a permanent feature.

The more accurate title would be "An ALMOST Round Glass Review" 😆 Sorry, I couldn't help myself 😬

I always slide the tab back, then close door, then release tab. I know.. seems extra careful. But I’ve never had any broken tabs on my cameras. Especially like the notorious Nikon 6006. Plastic tab. ツ never slam the door

Would love to hear your thoughts on the 21mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.1 mark ii if you could get ahold of them.

Good afternoon, I wanted to ask you a question, I currently have a Canon 5D classic to which I adapt several Zuiko lenses (50mm f:1.4, 50mm f:1.8, 75-150 f:4 and 500mm f:8 mirror lens) the truth is that I love the construction that the zuiko have. I am currently interested in taking bird photography and I am using the 500mm f:8 extensively, however on low light days it is impossible to use it with the Canon 5D Classic since above ISO 800 the noise is already annoying and when shooting handheld I should always be about 1/500 or 1/1000 (on sunny days I have achieved good results), for that reason I am considering buying a 300 f:4.5. My question is that I am new to the subject of photography and I do not understand much about the aberrations or lack of detail that may exist between the different telephoto lenses. Among the lenses I have a sigma 28-300 1:3.5-6.3 dg macro with autofocus (more modern construction lens and only 490g in weight), beyond gaining a step of light with the zuiko 300 f:4.5, I will see Any improvement in image quality? I know that they are lenses of very different construction and separated by many years but I would like to know if I win something or if it would be something similar. Thank you very much for your time.

Just started shooting a lot of this film. First rolls at 400 in ID-11 look pretty good. The pushed ones (800) in Rodinal 1:25 and 1:50 seem to have less shadow detail, especially the 1:50 one. Pity I needed the 800 speed, but the results are still ok. Might go for HP5 for the next shoot though, let's see (8 more rolls to develop tomorrow). Great vid!

Very useful David. Thanks!

A very good description of the Minolta X370 because I own one. I bought my Minolta X370 as my first 35mm camera in 1985, which I followed with the Minolta X700 6 months later and finally 6 months after I bought my last Minolta X570. I used them a lot, you can see the usage on the metal casing with all kind of scratches. There are still in good condition to be use. Here is a tip to keep your camera dry. All these little package you get from suitcases to keep inside dry, I throwed them in my camera bags. That work for me for last 40 years.

The EN-EL3a is the newer version. But not compatible with the EN-EL3e (3 pins, vs 2).

i bought it in a Kit w 24-105 F4 L/ Best System I ever had, and still, working perfect. Already with Mk II, Canon lost That very Edge.

Great explanation! Just got it and I cannot wait to shoot and develop

Very enlightening, numerous explanations on features that the original Owners Manual never explains (might be the worst written document I've ever read, all marketing BS with scant useful details - I hope the Zeiss engineers were much better than their Support and Marketing people!). Particularly helpful that the manual didn't address is what direction to turn the locking keys on the bottom to open the film compartment. I also appreciated a proper and better expiation of the timer switch, but maybe this should include a word of caution - I've been warned by others to avoid using a delayed timer on older cameras. It's said this is often a weak point in their design and the part most prone to failure, which could lock up the works, thus requiring a difficult and expensive fix. And as David alluded to, it's almost impossible to find anyone to work on these complicated cameras, not to mention the cost, so I'm not gonna tempt curiosity or fate here. Thanks so much David!

I have been shooting my first rolls of this in 120 on three classic cameras. A Yashica 124 G, Ansco Viking 4.5 (6x9cm) and Ansco Speedex Special R (6x6). I'm going to try developing this film myself so fingers crossed that I get some nice images!

Thank you David I have been buying new cameras every time my camera died. God bless

When you take the light reading /stop down metering in what position should the A/M switch on the lens be? Thanks

4:00 The F1 amongst your top 2 or 3 cameras ever made? Which are the others? ❤

You convinced me to fix the light seals in my Spotmatic all Pentax DSLR cameras are ASP-C I dont need anything cropped more like half frame at least the Spotmatic is full frame with interchangeable lenses

perhaps showing actual large prints might be more convincing - thanks for the video anyway

Excellent teaching video. Great details. RS. Canada

I traded my f2.8 for the f2. The 2.8 just felt like it had less character and I liked the idea of an extra stop of light. Even more than that I think the character of the f2 is more pleasing to me. You really can’t go wrong with any of the Olympus lenses from this era though! Thanks for another great video!

I have a lens that gives me a soft haze in the middle whenever I shoot with the sky in the back, is there a name for it?, and its only the sky.
