About me: I initially had a clothing company that tanked. However, that experience taught how incredibly expensive it is to outsource your content creation. This prompted me to learn everything I could about photo and video. Shooting video and photo was the aspect of the business I enjoyed the most, so I made the tough decision to focus on those disciplines. Just like you, I’m still learning but I still want to share my experience with you because I love watching videos basically anything related to film photography and video. I hope you’ve taken something useful from watching my channel. It’s been proven that subscribers to my channel are 47% happier than non-subscribers. Food for thought.
Happy Shooting, Zain
This video single handedly saved me hundreds of dollars. I couldn't find anywhere how to properly use the light meter and was just going to go buy a external one for my Canon A1... And this explained it so simply. Thank you!
Thank you, Sam! Yeah I felt like these little things weren't being spoken about anywhere so I'm so happy I saved you a fair chunk of change haha
your first video on this camera is the reason i bought the a1 a few days ago, seeing this video pop up was a blessing haha
That's awesome! haha. What in particular made you pick one up?
All your other videos on the Canon A1 have fully convinced me buy this camera yesterday. I’m new to film but it looks like such a beautiful experience so Im super excited to start!! Seriously...THANK YOU!!😌
Aww thank you, Sara!! Make sure you take loads of pictures with it and tag me!! I want to see them :)
Just had my canon a1 repaired! It has a new shutter release magnet and i am so excited to shoot again!
Awesome one, Ken!
I recently purchased an A1 & 50mm f1.4 SSC. I absolutely love this combination. The A1 has a great feel & has a nice weight. It just feels right.
It’s a killer combination, isn’t it.
It is. This just might be my favourite combination.
A wonderful camera. Got one in the 80s and still using it today in 2021.
That's very good to know. I have no plans on selling mine. I sometimes think about getting a second body I like it that much haha
Thank you so much for this review. I've had my A1 since 1981 and I absolutely love it. I have four vintage breech lock lenses. 50 mm 1.4 ssc; 85mm 1.8 ssc; 28mm 2.0 ssc; and 135mm 2.5 sc. I haven't shot anything with my A1 in about eight years so I'm getting back into it. The big drawback is the price of a roll of film here in the western united states has gone from around $5 to $20 . However I will not be deterred. I'm 68 years old and film is all I know.
fantastic selection of lenses there!
@@ZainRiza thank you sir.
+1 For all those reasons for the A1, I’ve got one or two newer cameras and after the novelty wore off I always go back to my A1 it’s just seamless to use (granted they’re some limitations). Again always love seeing your content!
Have you thought about the longer focal length lenses? 85-135? The 1.8 85 is something I’m curious about and 1.2L 85 is something to dream about. I’ve tried a Vivitar 135 2.5 lens and it’s definitely a different experience then a 50
Yep, I use my canon FD 135mm f2.5 from time to time. Thanks for you support, Leo!
Great informative video, loving the outfit in this one!!
Thanks mate. Just trying to up my hipster film photographer image.
Amazing video man, im defenitely on board with your ideias, I have. a AE-1 Program and it is just amazing
Fantastic choice of camera!
You should be a sales man mate...just picked up my a-1...can't wait to load it up get shooting been years since I've shot a roll of film...keep up the good work loving the videos...respect ✌
haha I've lost count of the number of cameras people have bought based on my recommendation. Enjoy the A1! It's a legendary camera for a reason.
I just picked up an A1 mostly because of your recommendation! Coming from a Minolta X-700
Thank you, Steven. What in particular made you make the switch?
I need help!! I cant find a way to put the M in the display.
I'm really trying to use it in full manual mode.
Please i'm really trying but i can't find te way to do it.
make sure the light is on
Hes not wrong, i bought it awhile ago and finally develop the first set of photos with it and amaze how good they were
it's great isn't it
Is there anywhere in particular that you recommend buying this camera for somewhat cheap? I figured just going on ebay or going to any nearby place that sells film cameras but I wasn't sure.
Getting film cameras for less than what they're worth is kinda impossible nowadays with the internet. Your only chance of getting a film camera 'cheap' is if the seller is desperate to sell or the seller doesn't know what they have; both of which are rare scenarios. Ebay and physical shops would always be my recommendation. Just research the general price range for the camera before committing to a purchase so you know whether or not you're massively overpaying or not.
hi, I just got my Canon A1 and I get quite confused with the aperture setting. Like changing the aperture in the body to 2.8 but keeping my lens aperture as 5.8 then what would be the result? If I use aperture priority mode, do I need to change both the body and the lens setting? Thank you so much!!
Hey man, this is exactly what I talk about in the video. You're not actually in aperture priority mode from what you've described to me. To put the camera into aperture priority, you need to put the lens onto A and turn the switch by the shutter button to Av. Then you should see what your aperture value in the window next to the shutter button is. If you half-press the shutter button, you'll see the same aperture value in the electronic display in the viewfinder as in the window. You actually have your camera in manual mode and it'll shoot the value on the lens; the value shown in the viewfinder is the camera suggesting a value that it thinks will give you a good exposure. This is what I was talking about how the camera can be good for beginners to learn the exposure triangle as it provides a safety net in manual mode. If the electronic display in the viewfinder is distracting, you can turn it off with the switch to the left of the viewfinder.
@@ZainRiza Thank you so muchhh, finally get it !!
Just got an A-1 and I'm wondering where did you get the wrist strap?
595strapco
I love it because it’s a blacked out canon. 85mm lens on it. Side by side with my EOS R living happily.
That’s a combination set for world domination.
lets say im shooting in shutter priority at 500 then switch the aperature so i don't have to remove my face, is it still at 500 or does the shutter become auto
It will go into auto.
I have a canon ae1 , and I love the camera it's a brilliant camera not as good as the a1 but I love it i would deffiantly get a fd to m42 mount for it so you can get some other lenses for it
The AE1 is still a solid camera.
@@ZainRiza it is I love it I have a praktica mtl3 and a yashica electro 35 mc rangefinder , my friend Josh and tom also are really good photographers follow their channel only analouge if your interested zain

Hey what tripod do you use for your Canon A1 please?
Nowadays I use the Peak Design Travel tripod.
Hi i have a Canon A1 and i love it. But probably it has a problem..time shutter (2 and 10 second) don’t work..a question.. for working i must have the film in? Or not
It has to be turned on. Make sure it's on. You might need a new battery. There's a battery check button. If the red light blinks slowly, you need new batteries. It should still operate even without film.
@@ZainRiza the battery is new, don t work the timer shutter when it s on 2 or 10..
for some reason my camera meter says EEEEE any tips on fixing this?
(copied from a forum) "According to the instructions it's caused by taking the lens of the 'A' setting and selecting an aperture, then pushing in the stop down lever, then releasing it and then returning the lens to 'A', all without taking a shot. Then you can't cock the shutter or release the shutter. The cure is to push the multiple exposure lever and re-cock the shutter." I've had this problem before.
oh my god i just know about that blinking light meter readingg thankss 😁😭
you're welcome
@@ZainRiza bro so when the reading no more blinking its mean the shot will be perfect right? no more shake and blurry. really in focus?
A1 is really a cool camera
AGREED!
Can you do some more indepth video on night photography? :)
Possibly. What exactly do you want to learn? I'm no expert by the way.
@@ZainRiza I would like to learn how to set the time properly, if you trust to set your time based on a certain phone app, what film stock would you recommend for that... And basically how you create your scenes, what inspires you. I have been following your videos and they really are inspiring and you also have great photos!!
Ah, that camera is a classic!
Used to have one but it got 'borrowed' by my younger brother and I ain't seeing that again!
Haha, if you ever find you have questions on that camera you should check out the Canon Live Chat, they've helped me along the way!
www.canon.co.uk/canonlive/live-chat/?
Yeah I don't think you're going to see that camera again. Cool, thanks for sharing those links.
@@ZainRiza Haha, worst thing is, I'm the one he gets to process his black and white film!
