This is not a collection, you've got a Museum at this point
*changes title immediately*
Technically the pit rivers museum in Oxford, England is classified as a "collection" where as if you were to walk into the building it would definitely feel like a museum
Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I love vintage and callable cameras and it's even better was they are operable. I just inherited 31 cameras including a Mamiya 67rb and c330. Can't wait to get out in the field with them. Thanks for the harness tip. Wasn't sure how I was going to carry that beast around. I weight it on my kitchen scale and it came to 7lbs. 😂 Cheers.
*Mausoleum
just discovered your channel, and i just wanted to say that having 3 broken AE-1’s is the most relatable thing i’ve ever heard
Right 😂
🤣🤪🤣
As you didn't mention the Leica M3 in the video I'm guessing that's what the end is about. Nice.
in a youtube world where photo and video is dealt with so clinically, you are bringing such a unique, genuine spark to the conversations without compromising applicable knowledge 🙌🏽🧚🏻

Back in the day I used to be a camera store owner and Yashica/Contax dealer, and If you love the T4 with the Zeiss, also try getting your hands on the Olympus XA, that was another incredible film compact camera that was as sharp or better than the T4 in some aspects.
Absolutely. The XA's lens is insane - paired with a rangefinder and aperture priority it's a beast at everything from casual to street, the lens is so damn sharp at 5.6
Loved seeing Kel’s portrait, it’s like a crossover 😍😍😍😍
Love the Contax G2! Great lenses, excellent photos!
the mju ii & T4 are literally the perfect pocket cameras. I found the Contax P&S's a bit heavy for my taste but they do feel super premium in hand. Thanks for posting your thoughts!
I heard the mju 1 is better but i couldnt know since they go for 300 where i live
Wow, quite the collection! Def saw a few bodies I’d never seen before! 👏👏
Thanks so much for the kind words about our straps, too Taylor! You rule! 🙌
No, YOU RULE!
Eyyy broken AE-1 club!
At least you’ve got a variety of options! I need to pick up another 35mm
The world is full of broken AE-1’s but that’s okay
the end is really..!!!! can't wait for the next one!
😏
Some people collect as an investment or as their hobby itself. Over the decades, I have accumulated about three dozen cameras, but my jam is to use the heck out of them (in a gentle way). In fact, my sister’s mom in law, just gifted me a 1938 Zeiss Ikon. I cannot wait to try that one. Last week my cousin drove up with his dad’s old Argus Rangefinder. Lovely. When people find out you are still into film photography, they can literally give you stuff to give it a loving home! My uncle dropped off a Polaroid instant camera with the most 70s box of all time (literally named the swinger), a few months ago! Its a beautiful thing! My current film favs: Nikon FM3A, NikonF2, Nikkormat ELW, Minolta X-700, Minolta SRT 101, Nikon FM2n and Nikon FA. Really enjoyed the video & your collection.
UMMMMM AMAZING!!!!!! Thanks for watching. enjoy all the gems ⚡️
Ahhhh that was just a great video! loved watching it. I have a some of old canons on the shelf, that i love a lot. I worked on some of old Canons from the A-Series. So just a little trick for your three canon AE-1´s. It may work on one of them. All you need is some lighter fluid. There are to point´s that we want to address. The battery contact and the shutter button. Put some of the fluid in the battery chamber and press down the contact. It will come up again by it self, becorse there is a spring under it. Now just push a cupel of times. Do the same with the shutter button. some drops of the fluid into the hole for the cable release and simply work the shutter button. If you are lucky, you have a working ae-1 in no time. I hope it works at least on one of your old canons´s. Good luck! I just found your channel and i´am looking forward to all the other videos from you. Greetings from Germany.
Woah!!! This is an insanely useful trick. Thank you! And thanks for watching/subscribing :)
Thanks to this video I discovered the Fujifilm GFX line and planing now to bring to life all my large format studio. Thanks for sharing your passion with us 🙏🙏🙏
WOOOWWW!!!! So happy to hear it. Enjoy!
I love your collection! You really have some of the best cameras ever made IMO.
Also thank you for showing example images from most of the cameras, a lot of people don't bother to do that and it's a nice touch.
A little extra work, but so worth it. 🤝
I llove your channel,
I noticed at (13:50 mark) in one of your pics using the Mamiya RB67 a photo of a place called Astoria and I recognised the location from the 1985 movie "The Goonies". It's the seascape photo of the rocky islands. Wow. ❤❤❤
Love the video! Someone probably mentioned it, but the Agfa is actually a 6x9 medium format camera. They made exquisite medium format folders. The Super Isolette is the best in 6x6. I have one of those and it’s amazing.
I would like to try the super isolette, I have a super ikonta 533/16 and love it and it's quality but it's a bit of a chonker
@@seafire820 the super Isolette is phenomenal. They can have hardened grease in the helical focus gear, so you probably want one that’s been overhauled. They were also re-branded as the Ansco Super Speedex.
I like the music you like. 😊 It‘s a pleasure to be shared your photography with as well.
My dad's AE-1 was state of the art when he got it back in 1981... I should have kept it but decided to sell it when I went digital.Someone else is loving it now though so that's OK with me.
Glad to see your film camera collection on display.
More than twenty years after going digital. I still have most of my original print cameras. Often wondering if they still work.
it's fun to look into the history of cameras. such a cool collection.
Right?! So so so cool
I have many film cameras. Many were given to me or I bought the bodies for $5 or less at a camera show i used to help promote. I love my Minolta xa 1 and 2 and my Samsung Evoca's and Pentax IQ zoom which have bulb settings for a point and shoot. My Eos 630s and 650s bodies, as I mentioned were $5 or under for the bodies along with my Nikon N90 and N90s bodies.My favorite automatic Camera is My Canon EOS A2. I am on my 4th one. I do not like rangefinders. I like centered view finders. So I use a portable view finder so I do not have off centered photos. I have an Instax square Sq6. I love that camera. The one that came out after it took away the bells and whistles, made of cheaper plastic and still expensive. The polaroid 250 cameras are being converted to take 120 film.
Wow just wow
That teaser at the end though! 😱😱😱
I have my own little collection though it's digital dominated cause I like some of the wacky form factors:
For Digital:
Canon EOS Rebel T6, my first serious camera, purchased with the intent to learn astrophotography because phones deffinitly suck at it, no regrets and I'm far enough down that rabbit hole now to have some shots I love.
Canon EOS M200, cute little EF-M mount camera, it's fate is to be sent to Lifepixel for full-spectrum modification, I doubt I could afford shooting aerochrome but love the look and this will be even better for astrophotography because a lot of cool stuff hides in the infrared, kinda like using the screen like a waist level viewfinder.
Canon Powershot A590 IS, tiny little point and shoot, I keep it with me at work just to have a camera with me, fun little thing.
Sony FD Mavica FD75, it's a floppy disk camera, it was too weird and retro for me to ignore, got working batteries for it just waiting for floppies
Sony DSC-P71: another odd smallish digital point and shoot, looks like some 2000's scifi tech, takes AAs, and Sony's long since abandoned early memory sticks of which I have 2× 8meg versions.
Film Cameras
Canon EOS Rebel Ti, loads the same lenses as my T6, seems to work good though I have yet to develop, fun to use, very comparible to my Rebel T6 in use, would love to get its bigger brothers the EOS 5 or EOS 3 to try out the early eye-control system but this cute little silver thing is staying with me.
Asahi Pentax K1000, my Grandfather's old camera I have inherited, looks good as new, has a wonderful weight and sound to it because it's a brick of metal, been shy about shooting with it until recently because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a manual camera yet but I've just loaded a roll into it to get started (hope it develops well) and was delighted to see the meter works.
Polaroid Impulse AF, last, but certainly not least, a Camera I bought as a kid purely because instant cameras look "neat", it somehow survived me as a kid (tendency to disassemble things to see how they worked) and now Adult me is quite pleased with the shape it's in with a fresh pack of new Polaroid 600 film run threw it, the sonar AF works great, wonderful viewfinder, and it still takes great shots for a decades old camera that was in the hands of a crazy kid.
Considering saving for a medium format at some point and eyeing the Hassleblad 500 ELM or ELX even with the risks, they look close enough to the Apollo moon cameras that I can't realistically resist as a space nerd
For your RZ (I hope you got it repaired) attach a Gitzo carbon fiber monopod and a Really Right Stuff MH-01 head. It'll easily add 2 stops over handheld (more if you can wedge the monopod against a railing or some other object) and makes the RZ beast much easier to manage when walking around. Simply carry the RZ over your shoulder like a hobo's bindle, lens pointing downward. The monopod also holds your RZ while changing the lens, loading film, etc. without having to put anything on the ground or rough surface. Carry an extra lens, meter, cell phone, wallet, etc. in a small shoulder bag. I always found the RZ to be too uncomfortable and unwieldy on a neck strap. A strong but light monopod adds ballast and control to the RZ beast.
素晴らしいコレクションですね。

もっと沢山見せて欲しいです。
有難う。
I always enjoy seeing what others are packing! 🤙🏽
Nice collection! Watching this made me reminisce about cameras given to me while working at a camera store from 1992-2013. I only kept a couple Nikon film bodies & Nikkor lenses but I still think about the array of gear I donated to the store display.
Really great video! I did a video like this recently about my collection that isn't quite as big, but it was a joy to make! I really like your folding camera collection!
I feel the same!! Thanks for watching
Out of the blue, CZcams suggests this video. I'm an enthusiast photographer and a bit of a collector, shooting both film and digital, so I click. Also, my brain autocorrected your channel name into "grainchick" - I dig it! - but then I read it again, and telepathically apologise to you. Oh, I enjoyed this video. The lighting was so nostalgic, and your collection is quite lovely and eclectic. It would have been fun to see the two instant photos you took (I thought you would use one of them to show us what camera you were filming with). I also love your energy and enthusiasm, and I say 'finally', because so many photographers on CZcams seem to forget that photography is, above all, fun. You're lovely. I subscribed. I'll drink water. Thank you! Cheers! --Rick
Wow. What an amazing comment to receive! I’m so glad you stumbled into my corner of the internet
Cool and fun collection. Hits a spot to vicariously collect for me.
Love your collection…Each is a gem in its own way.
Preach
Nice collection. I enjoy seeing other peoples collection. I have 65+ cameras and growing collection. Few rare cameras too. The one that I'm loving right now is my Robot Royal 24 Mod III. It shoots 24mm x 24mm frames on 135 film and it's fully automatic made in 1953. Thanks for sharing!
Widelux! Widelux! Widelux! Taylor, get your buddies at KEH to fix you up with a Widelux panoramic 35mm camera. Will blow your mind!
7:37 I bought a broken Nikon L35 AF broken and managed to get it out of self timer mode by screwing open the back! It's now one of my favourites, SO sharp
Wait, what?! What did you do after you opened the back? I wanna use it SO BAD
@@graincheck Here's the blogpost from JJ Lee I followed! I didn't manage to repair the self timer unfortunately but that's a small loss considering the fact that it works now.

LE: 13:48 i don't know why but that's **chef's kiss**
Haha yes, cliffhanger at the end; brilliant.
See you in the next one! Haha
I'm glad I'm not the only person who hoardes cameras that don't work 😂
Broken cameras matter too ❤️🔥
Me too 🫠 omg. I have done this since 2010 and I am loving this so big. My heart is just so happy watching this
From 🇫🇷 great collection. Love it. Thank you.
Remember to unwind the spring after each time you use your super8 filmcameras, and don't run them at their fastest shutter speed without film roll in them.
After the intro I thought -- Alright I don't think I care, but let's see the first five minutes. I'm glad I did watch it. The cameras are beautiful, but gosh damn, the photos you showcased are just gorgeous!
Aw, thank you!!!!
Love your collection . I have a few brownie cameras but I have never seen that one before . I like it
Great colletion! and I really like your content and photos :)
Appreciate it! ⚡️
Not sure what in the YT algorithm suggested your video to me, but I'm really glad it did! Loved this video. Love the respect you give to your cameras and the fun you have with them. I have a very small collection of cameras and love the look of them like you do. I'm subscribing and looking forward to watching all of your videos. BTW, I have a Fujifilm X-T3 that I really love. I often shoot it with vintage lenses(partly because I can't afford the big boys!). Have a great week!!
Hey! This is so awesome to hear. Welcome!!! Glad you’re here ⚡️
Nicee cameraa collection 😍
Yes I've been wanting to see your camera 📸 collection :) another great video
A great collection. And there were some colorful cameras, too. I learned a few things.
Your Mamiya RZ67 is G.O.A.T.
Love looking at old cameras! Thanks for sharing. Btw am I the only one who wish that Fujifilm would make their lenses look older, like their cameras. I want my X-T2 and 3 to have lenses that look like old canon and Nikon lenses. :P
22:56 the battery is HIGH POWER ... almost spit out my coffee .. that is too funny!
My favorite was the Serree Camcorder! Loved the nostalgic look! Lots of great small camcorders out there, but hard to get that look on many. Great video!
Ahh I loved this! And the ending!!! 👀👀👀
Lovely collection. But I have to say,,, you're a lightweight! Keep thinking of doing a show & tell myself. Good vid. Whoa! The 6 x 7. You might have a quality vs quantity thing on me. LOL.
I really like the look of it in the studio! Not sold on the landscapes yet
The Contax G2 is very yummy. I'm taking my cameras one by one and making videos on them.... for your that would take years!!
The Minolta srT 100 or 102 was the first camera I bought back in 1974. Then I graduated to Nikon, and the EM, then FG, then F3 (which I still use). Also got a Pentax 645 and to round out my collection is my Hasselblad xPan (which I also still use)
Great collection you got there!
Amazing string of machines!! Thanks for watching :)
Muy impresionante tu colección, me encanta. Me encantó el video y las fotos que hiciste con la Mamiya.
Great collection! I hope you get your Mamiya C33 up and running. I still have mine that I bought new in 1966. I used to shoot with the predecessor to your RZ67, the RB67 back when I was a full time pro. I used it for wedding formals and shot wedding candids with the Mamiya 645. I also did all my studio and environmental portraits with it. I'm glad to see you shooting Fuji. Since you like small cameras, try to pick up a Fuji X-E camera. I have the X-E1, X-E2s and X-E3.
Really cool video. Just found you through youtube shorts. Nice camera collection. Very nice.
what a great collection! glad I stumbled across your youtube. cheers from vegas
My favorite Cameras are Minox 35 ML, Leica Minilux, Canon F-1 New and Hasselblad 2000-series of all the Camera I ever have used since 1970.
You should consider The Fuji GFX 100S or the Sony A7RIV(A), maybe the next Sony A7RV coming this autumn, I have the Sony A7RIV and Sony A7RIVA which I can very highly recommend (You save a lot of weight, size and a lot of money with Sony compared to Fuji GFX !).
I am so jealous! You have so many cameras that I hope to someday own once I get out of school
Love the video, the chain mic is hilarious! I've never heard of a land camera. I've wanted to get into medium format but I don't know where to start.
How familiar are you with film? The Fuji GA645 is a point and shoot style medium format cam. Really great starting point if it’s in your budget. Otherwise, take whatever you can get your hands on!
@@graincheck I was just looking at one thank you for the green light! Congrats on the Leica!
Nice collection.
The Nikkormat EL is a battery pig, but really well built, and if you don't have a good battery (or any battery in it), it's just dead. Nothing really mechanical about it at all.
I've got about twenty 35mm cameras (incl 8 Nikon film SLRs) and 3 MF film cameras. They all work, thankfully. At some point, I need to thing the non-Nikon herd, but a couple have sentimental value, some are cool (the OM1s I have), etc. I have a problem. LOL
23:20 Adorable!!!!
holy cinebloom batman!!
🦇⚡️
This is so stunning! Makes me hype! 👌 When I realize the letters of my channel I can buy Vintage Sony haha! Relate to your aesthetic!
THT ENDING HAHA what a teaseeee!!!!

26 minutes of serotonin.

Cameras. 🙌🙌🙌
Nikon that's stuck in "timer" mode -- "It's not a bug -- it's a feature". (1) "Natural" poses; (2) put on a tripod, go out in front -- selfie!!! :)
That first camera (non - functioning) -- that's a heartbreaker. Maybe ask for "repair money" next birthday or Christmas?
Nice Thrasher shirt, also Fuji represent!
So much fun! That strap was really trying to be the star.
*eye roll*
Very nice collection,love from India
Oooohhhh cliffhanger!!! 👀
I think you would love a Rollei 35 in your collection!
Great videos!
Hey Taylor! Great collection you got.
Just one minor complaint. Audio is not balanced. Coming from left side mostly(Gets wonky with headphones).
Ayo! The ending though😂😂
The search must go on..
Awesome video, love the cameras what a great collection
This was so soothing
🥱 💤
ending was the best !

@19:10 Land cameras are self-developing (Polaroid) film cameras named after the inventor Edwin Land. The Agfa Ansco (and yes, you pronounced it correctly) is not a land camera but a Folding Bellows Film camera, looks like a medium format 6x9 that uses 120 roll film. I have several similar models and it's kind of fun to use them out in public and see people's reactions. These are all mechanical cameras and shutter and/or film transport should not be that difficult to repair. Torn bellows can be replaced but that can be expensive.
Like your collection, your presentation, and your enthusiasm :-)
I love this collection! I always find vintage/older film cameras to be fascinating unlike the digital cameras we have today. (Except for my Fujifilm X cameras they look fine AF esp the X100S and X-T1 that I got)
This definitely encourages me to collect and shoot more cameras in my lifetime. I had two AF Slr Cameras the Minolta 7000i and Pentax SFXn but never had the chance to shoot with them due to the insane prices of film these days. Ended up selling them and letting go of them to just get lenses/vintage lenses for my Fujis. Will definitely shoot film once I get enough funds again to afford a proper mechanical slr and film costs.
Thanks for sharing us this massive collection of yours!
Thank you for watching 🥹🥲
Not sure if you’ve shot TLRs before, if not I think you’re in for a treat with that Mamiya. That one is pretty heavy though.
I’ve shot a bunch of cameras and always thought TLRs were not for me (too retro) … but I got a clean Rolleicord with a bright screen … just as a way to shoot medium format that is easily portable and reliable (no electronics, no plastic) and I absolutely love it. It’s quite a different way of working but a total joy and totally practical.
I’m so excited to shoot it 🥹
@@graincheck Great channel btw. I liked n subbed but prefer coffee to water lol
I'm gonna sub. That's lovely.
You can get an adapter for $20 that will allow you to put the lens from the Nikomat onto the Canon. May sound sacrilegious but it works.
Great video! I’ve been shooting digital for years but I’m wanting to finally dip my toes into film. Will definitely need to take some notes to help me figure out my first film camera!
FUUUNNNNN! Enjoy ⚡️
What's a collection without a handful of non functioning hand-me-down AE-1's! I recently sent out one of mine and an A-1 for service. Soooo worth it. They all function like new again!
Hahaha right!!! I should repair one at least…
I disassembled a Canon EOS 620 for a class and it was mind boggling how complex it is… motivated to re assemble it rn
WHAT!!!! That’s incredible. Can I see somewhere?!?
@@graincheck suuure you can Watch it on my channel :)
@@graincheck over here czcams.com/video/VkbpjyjhRAU/video.html
at 3:12 "....pritty good sound"?-what?, guess you have never heard the shutter/baffel sound of a Hasselblad 500C/M ! now that is geourgeous !!!!!
Love your videos! If you don’t know about it already, you should check out the Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens for your EOS (check MPB or KEH), great little lens and decently priced, one of my most used lenses on my Canon EOS-1n camera. 🤓📷
Not gonna lie that ending snipbit was actually like a found footage horror movie😂
Dope set of cameras!
To fix that L35AF/D problem, you need to remove the entire front plate and unscrew the self timer switch. The switches break in the back and get stuck in the ON position.
Omg I’m gonna do this. THANK YOU! Do you unscrew the switch completely?
@@graincheck yep, you need to remove the entire switch, which leaves a hole in the camera. You can cover the hole with electrical tape or something. For one of my L35AF’s, I unscrewed the back of the switch, then glued the inoperable front switch back in place using a hot glue gun to cover the hole.
There should be some tutorials online on how to remove the camera plates, but there are two hidden screws. One under the bottom corner under the rubber cover, opposite side of the right hand grip. The other hidden screw is located in the compartment. It’s easy after you figure it out. Good luck! ✌️
@@JP1050x suggest gaffer tape -- wider, sticks better, leaves less residue. (But *proper* gaffer -- not just miscellaneous "cloth tape" or "duct tape".). :)
@@flickeringgreenflame8493 I like gaffer tape, but it starts to fray after a short while. Good quality electrical tape holds up well and matches better with the camera plastic. There’s also some high quality vinyl tape that doesn’t leave residue, which is often used to label baby supplies at daycares.
Been waiting for this one!
Bam ⚡️
The end. 😂😂😂
The search never ends!
Haha so true 🙃
Had a canon 630 for a while. Get a copy of the cheap 50/1.8. It felt cheap. It looked cheap. But it actually took really awesome photos. Super simple lens design, and kinda noisy autofocus, but it totally worked/works. My judgement on the lens is based on having MANY canon autofocus SLRs over the years. Lotta great lenses, but if you want something cheap that makes the camera worth having, that's the lens.
I recently won a Nikkormat FTN for $25 and got lucky -- everything works, just needed seals.
DAMN
I care .. nice collection... what lens are you using with the GFX50SII? ... oh and the ending ... nice cliffhanger 😉
