I really love how it feels like we're hanging out and you get to talk about your camera adventure, and also showing the """"bad photos"""" from it is wonderful. Even if they're "bad" in terms of effort put into developing them and not being accustomed to the camera's finicky parts they still as I'd like to say "have something" and they get a little like a hazy and worn memory, and despite the weather being gray the colour pics came out rich. Like how you see the colour of a rock better when it's wet.
I love the description of the wet rock!! I have so many more of these rainy day photos aside from the ones I shared in the final cut. But I will say that I owe the vibrant colors and saturation to Kodak UltraMax. 😁👌🏾
I'm gonna do my best to continue to work on long format videos. I already have an idea of a few, I'd like to make. Make sure you hit that notification bell (ugh, I feel so gross just saying that 😅)
Great video! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about having a Nikonos as a rainy day camera 😂 I have a 2 and a 5, the 5 is so much easier to use (especially in regards to loading and rewinding the film) but I like the feel of the 2. They have some serious issues that make them difficult to be street photography cameras, but they are versatile enough to at least keep a spot in my camera bag for any adventures.
I had my hopes up for this video because of how much I love your insta content and it delivered :) your energy is the best man. Haven’t enjoyed a CZcams video like this in a long time. It’s worth all the effort and hard work you put in! Can’t wait for the next. Happy hi and hello from the netherlands
Levi, you can really feel the love and effort put into this video, and the passion you have for photography! I had no idea about underwater lenses and you explained it super well! Awesome video, looking forward to even more wholesome content from you 😊
I'm glad it made sense. I feel like I left a lot of information out for the sake of the continuity. But as long as you got the important information, that's all that matters.
It’s a shame I can’t give it 2 or 3 or 5 likes. I’d give a solid 10 if I only could 🙏 So nice, like I’m sitting right next to my buddy who just got new camera and super exited about it and sharing few more nice stories!
Love the video! I know you put a lot of work into this and it shows. I really enjoyed your shots with the streetpan pushed to 1600, very nice. My one comment would be to maybe show the image you took for a little bit longer. I found myself pausing the video to have enough time to take it in. I just want more time to appreciate your work! Keep it up 👏
I totally understand that. I think in the future I might hold talk about my favorite photos a little more. Just so that viewers have time to think. Thanks for bringing that up.
The Nikonos is one of those camera's I thought of getting but never actually gotten. Glad to see you put that thing to work! Those photos although blurry have a little more character to them! Love the whole flow of this video man. Please let that ending be how you end every video, just put the mic down and walk away! Excited for more of these!
hahaha. Maybe I should make that a thing. I don't know what my thing is yet. I know that it's going to take a lot more creating to know what my thing is. Everyone seems to like the blurry photos more than the sharp ones. I didn't really include my sharper photos in the end because they we're interesting. I enjoyed the softer photos. They were better composed. Thanks so much for your support!
Cool video. My neighbor knew I was into photography so she gave me her late husband's Nikon F and Nikkormat with 4 Ai lenses and a Nikonos IV-A camera with a 35mm f2.5 "wet" lens. Your video makes me want to go out in rainy weather and "waste some film". BTW, I believe it is pronounced Ni KON' os with the emphasis on KON. Happy shooting.
Long time follower on insta and recent subscriber! I absolutely love the aesthetics and how easily you can put you personality in the video! Keep it up buddy! Looking forward to more stuff!!
Thanks for posting your images from the 28mm wet lens. I have the 35mm and 80mm lenses for my Nikonos III and have always wondered how the images from the wet lenses looked.
Mannnnn. The shots of the dude proposing to their partner. Ugh 10/10. I loved this video! Been watching you grow on instagram for so long now. I can't wait to see what else you create! 💞😄
My first camera, purchased in 1969 soon after being certified to SCUBA dive in a flooded Chicago rock quarry, was a Nikonos II which I got with the 35mm lens so I could use it above and below water. Not able to afford the Nikon flash bulb gun I sent the camera to Ikelite in Florida to have it modified to use their flash cube, which was held out in the non camera hand at the end of a coiled cord. I remember taking my first photos with it on dive trip to Devils Lake in Wisconsin because it was the same day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I also used it for my first paying photojournalism assignments in college and for white water kayaking and motorcycle trips. I still have it in my collection. In retrospect the lack of any metering was a very good start in photography because it forced me to understand how to read the light and how its character and exposure change under different atmospheric conditions. That in turn helped when learning to make B&W prints, where the paper grade used varied with negative highlight density, which also varied with atmospheric conditions. Another great waterproof camera bought I in 1997 for a trip to the Philippines because I didn’t want to bring my Nikon SLR and lenses in the Pentax 90-WR. It is 35mm “point and shoot” with a tack sharp 3x zoom lens and auto exposure which was better than my Nikon, but also the option to used manual control. It also has a small detachable IR remote trigger which was great for selfies - nobody had thought to invent the selfie stick yet. 😂
I fully enjoyed this video Levi. The opening and filming, how you thoroughly detailed your experience with the camera, what worked and what didn't, and of course... your joyful presence. I know this took a while, but great job.
I kept up to date with the creation of this video on instagram and when I got the notification that it was posted I knew I had to come see it, and Levi you did not disappoint! Excited to see more videos!
Amazing video! Loved all the photos, the slight blur adds to the feeling of nostalgia and give them the memory quality. You’re always you’re own worst critic. Great work!
you have no idea how hard it was to push past that feeling of not being good enough. But I'm so glad that I did. And I'm glad that I finally got this out there.
I've had the chance to use a Nikonos III, a super fun camera to work with, and I came up with a trick on how to get better images out of the Underwater "Wet-Lenses." Stop the lens down, shooting between f/8 and f/22 (or your highest aperture). Then adjust the focusing knob so that your depth of field covers the frame (there is a handy set of arrows that show what your depth will be). But you know, I really enjoyed what you created here! As for my rainy-day film camera, that's either my Nikon F5 or Minolta Maxxum 9 for my autofocus kit or my FE2 for manual focus.
Everything in this video was shot at f8 or f11. Those photos from the 28mm were still heavily distorted. I certainly would love to see your work and what lovely magic you’ve been able to create using the wet lenses.
Just starting with film photography, but I love your photos on the Nikanos. I also love your way of storytelling. It’s comical, easy to follow and lighthearted. Excited to see more and watch your growth. Thanks for sending me the link!!
Thank you so much!! I didn't think that I was comical. I just thought laughing at my mistakes was easier than being frustrated. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one laughing here. Thanks so much for your support.
At 10:45, the scene with the window and the girl reaching up, something inside me went, oh god oh god, take that picture! and then, of course he's taking that picture, its a photo channel, and the uuuuh, such a relief how that photo turned out! Your video was fun, keep it up!
I picked up a Nikonos III a few months ago with a 35mm f/2.5. I totally did not know there was "wet" and "dry" lenses for this camera so this was super helpful. Also, Zone Focusing is my enemy, so I feel for you. You've pumped me up to battle the Seattle rain and gloom and take my Nikonos III out and take some photos.
One thing I’ve found that helps is mounting the lens upside down. Seems to make adjusting the aperture and focusing distance a lot faster. Helps a lot if you take it underwater.
Your final thoughts on the awkward and cumbersome nature of the Nikonos III has me wondering how you'd like shooting with a Rollei 35s haha. Great vid! 😁
The o-rings are not easy to find, but they are out there. Your camera has an accessory lever, which some folks say is not great for the longevity of the camera. There are two amphibious lenses, the rest are just for underwater.
Yeah. I looked up the o-rings after posting the video 😅. That is correct about the accessory lever. I chose not to include that note in the video. I think you might be forgetting that there is a 28mm f2.8 dry lens. But otherwise all correct. Thanks for helping out the viewers!
Back in my film only days, I decided to use an inexpensive Nikon EM during the times when I did not want to shoot my higher priced Nikon F2 cameras in the rain. However, the first time I used my EM to shoot a soccer game, the EM worked for about 15 minutes in the rain and then stopped working. After that, I bought the Nikonos III with 35 and 80mm lenses to use in bad weather.
another quality video! I was out on a trip and had to buy a box of gallon Ziplock bags because I wanted to shoot my x-700 in the rain. It was awkward to use but it worked very well for keeping the camera dry. I just made a hole in the bottom of the bag just big enough for the lens and controlled the camera through the top opening.
Just me coming down to the comments to say I shoot digital. lol Real talk, when shooting in the rain, I go all out to protect my cameras. I walk around looking like the michelin man himself. After being young and naive and taking my film and digital cameras into the ocean once. Let's just say I learned my lesson. *cries in french*
I hate to say it but I abuse my digital camera. It doesn't get the same care and attention that the film cameras do. I'll happily take it out into the pouring rain. I shouldn't. but I've done it like 20 times 😂. Thanks for your support.
LEVI THIS VIDEO IS A MASTERPIECE I know it took you super long to select the music and damn that was worth it! Fits very well throughou the whole video! Also: I LOVE THE TRANSITIONS This was super fun and interessting to watch!
Hahaha! Lets hope it's not the masterpiece and just the beginning of something new! Thank you so much for recognizing the music selection. I spent a few sleepless nights working out what music would be best. I kinda feel like the video came from the music in a weird way.
Ok so just got the Nikonos I from PhotoRetro and I think i'm going to try another roll with 800 speed film. It's got a 35mm lens. Thanks Levi...super helpful video. Hopefully will see you on another photowalk soon.
Thoroughly Enjoyed! Much Fun viewing experience Levi! Good story. Genuine. Drama of "Oh NO! Wet Lens!" But dang, high bar... how you gonna get a surprise engagement in the rest of your vids?
Dude I had no idea about the wet lenses! I have a Nikonos iv-a with a 15mm wide angle lens and couldn’t figure out why everything was slightly out of focus!😅 I thought it needed a service, I’m glad it’s not me but also I’m bummed I have this wild wide angle and can’t get anything sharp with it.
Hahaha!!! I have the same lens and did the same thing! 😂😂😂. That 15mm is worth a pretty penny. If you’re willing you might be able to sell the 15mm for a dry of amphibious lens. 🧐
I bought the 15mm a while ago for surf/beach photography. Definitely should have done more research 😂 But I also have the 35mm 2.5 and have had great results with that. It’s super sharp at about 5.6 and takes a beautiful photo. Great for around the pool with the family or our in the rain
I put a second roll through my nikonos ii and it’s a dud too! Super blurry and i can’t tell if it’s me or the camera!! It’s super frustrating. I was out all day with this thing! And….AND I got a second one off ebay bc my daughter liked it so much She wants to shoot with her own!!
@@LBCRPhotography No it’s the 35mm that can be a wet and a dry lens. I was really terrified of the focus issue and i think i make have focused everything to infinity regardless of f stop and what was in the bracket. It was dark so i opened up to 5.6 or lower for most shots so it was probably my fault. i’m gonna try again today
I just throw caution to the wind and let my camera get wet. Not soaked. I do attempt to make some effort to keep it dry. But I’ve soaked my Canon digital and my trusty old mechanical k1000 just lives in my truck where it’s bashed around and subjected to plenty of abuse. It’s 40 years, kinda crusty and never lets me down. The absolute simplicity of the Pentax K1000 and some Ilford b&w film makes shooting a fun experience. The Canon digital is just kinda… meh
The kissing photo at 9:00 … 🔥🙌❤️ …perfection. May everyone have a true moment of joy captured at some point in their life
I really love that photo! I’m glad it was only a little bit blurry 😅

Yes, the EM was my first electronic camera. That was when I learned the hard way that electronics and water did not mix.
