Hi. I think if you find one of these in good condition, it's a great place to start! Less expensive than Rollei for sure. I only have my cheat sheet, sorry. If you look up the camera manual online, you can find something similar inside. Thanks!
@@stevantontichphotographyvi9358 yea the only one i found was on ebay for 250 euros plus 50$ shipping so i will wait til i find a better deal but thanks for sharing your experience. not many videos out there reviewing this camera. happy holidays :)
You have to rotate the focus wheel on the back, next to the view finder ,to extend the lens all the way out. Then, everything will start to work. If that is stuck - it may be an issue (meaning, if the wheel will not turn). Let me know how it goes.
@@stevantontichphotographyvi9358 thanks for your help though, I appreciate it! I’ll have to head to a local Film store and maybe they will know how to solve this problem! 👍
Great review and excellent photo examples. Professional quality from a coat pocket camera. Well done!
Stunning photos! Thanks for this video been on the fence of getting this camera or the Rollei 35S. where can we get a copy of your cheat sheet !!!??

I just got one but the film advance is stuck? The lens diaphragm wont open either...? Any tips? Thank you!

@@stevantontichphotographyvi9358 ah I think there is something wrong then. I extended the lens all the way out and the lever still can’t advance 😔
@@Katiedoan88 sorry to hear. It's a great little camera, but only when it works. Maybe try another one.

I’ve just got one of these. I love it! A small camera with all the manual control you could want. I wish it was a rangefinder as welll, but hey.
