You're the only one that I found after endless search that explains how to to release the dang film knob
So glad I could help, thank you for watching!
Same!!! Hahaha I was so afraid I’d break my lomokino lol
Thank u! (Now time to go out and shoot!)
I still have mine that i bought when it came out. It was the second batch as the first stock had been completely sold out but thankfully i didn't have to wait too long. Once it was in stock again i ordered one and used it for a while. I just hoped at one point they would release one made of metal but sadly that still hasn't happened. Not even seeing any chinese clones. However i still love this thing a lot for the sheer concept sake. This thing really kinda makes you feel like a Filmmaker between 1880-1920. The only thing somewhat new that comes close to that is one of these russian 35mm Filmcameras that can be powered electrically or with an extra handcrank.
Really would be awesome if someone built a more robust model. Maybe one that could use a full 100' roll of 35mm still film!!
@@Filmboy24 Yeah, maybe a easy-replaceable cameraback with a bigger filmstock chamber for more capacity. Like those bigger Magazine Backs for some Nikon SLRs that allowed you to shoot more than just 36 Photos.
I've never commented on a youtube video before, but you, my friend, have provided an excellent video on the Moviemaker! I've been dying to use it for some time but never found a video that explained how to roll in the film (I was a film amateur back then),so it is possible I was just incompetent. Anywho, THANK YOU
Thanks so much for the kind words and glad I could help!!
The first film you've shown it's amazing... i had one lomokino, i never used it and i sold it for nothing in a flea market... beautiful to know how beautiful works you could do...
Thank you, Cristián!
Thank you for sharing this. I felt the honesty of someone deeply into film. 😁🙏🏼
My pleasure! Thanks for your kind words, I really do love film!!
I’ve been considering buying this camera, , and this video has been the greatest factor in making up my mind! I’m going to the local Lomography store first thing in the morning tomorrow! Btw, I did hit the LIKE button and subscribe~
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! You'll have fun with your Lomokino, as long as you don't expect too much. Really is a fun little camera.
9:12 Put the film into the coffee....Go under the bed covers, preferably at night with the lights off, wind film into development tank, close development tank lid, pour in 68 degree F (20C) water into the development tank, while water is pre-soaking the film, mix four teaspoons of instant coffee, 2 teaspoons of Washing Soda (Sodium Monocarbonate, also known as Laundry Booster), and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed Vitamin C pills in 9 ounces (266 ML) of water at 68 degree F (20C) water, pour out pre-soak water then pour in the coffee/washing soda/vitamin C/water mixture into the development tank, agitate continuously for 1 minute, then every 30 seconds until you reach 22-1/2 minutes agitate for 3 seconds. Empty out the coffee/washing soda/vitamin C/water mixture and replace with water over and over until water turns clear, then you can see the pictures reflectively on the film. To turn them into transparent pictures, soak in very salty water for 51 hours (almost completely saturated with salt vs. water). Then place image in scanner and make the movie.
Never saw one of these, neat, great video as usual. Nice nails Mike
Late to the picnic here, Mike, and not into movie film at all, but a subscriber to your channel as I love your presenting style.
I was pleasantly surprised at the results of the short movies that this thing produces, reminiscent of early 20th C movies and looks like real fun. I wonder what a motor driven movie would look like, it would certainly eliminate the camera shake but would lose the old time feel of early movie making.
Great stuff, Sir.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words!!
I've often thought about a little motor mechanism, but the film runs out so fast that I think it would take a lot of the allure out of it. Like you aid, it has kind of an old time feel to it, which is pretty neat :)
Someone once did a test with a motorized Lomokino. Of course the runtime is drastically shorter ;) You can basically do that very easily with a powerdrill with modifed tip / nut and using a slower speed. I'm sure you can also build something with speed control when using an old Stepmotor.
Thanks for sharing.Very interesting.
Cool, I have it too, love it
gtelefon yes, fun little gadgets.
ohh my good what a amazing lomokinooo! im love it!!!
Years ago, I purchased a WWII camera from Russia. It seems to be a 1:1 copy of the US Bell&Howell Eyemo (or Filmo? , not sure). Can read the manual from B&H and every single screw is exactly the same. Spring motor camera of course, everyth. manually. Load some 135 Foma 100 neg inside in complete darkness. The results of the dev are quite good. Can scan the negatives as usual and then put together frame by frame. This is working quite well to get real 35mm B&W film, (shorts scenes only of course). For testing, I switched the camera to 12 fps. Even then you press 2 times and the 135 cardridge is gone, hahaha. The weight of this camera feels roughly like a T34 tank ;-)
I really believe these Russian cameras are excellent alternatives to their more expensive counterparts. I have a couple K-3 16mm cameras and a hand crank Russian super 8 camera and all of them produce great results.
I'd love to see what that 35mm camera you had looks like. I had a 35mm Eyemo about 2 years ago and wish I'd never sold it. Got it for $100 and it ran great. :(
Another great video Mike!
I think I’d rather buy a Eyemo instead but this looks sorta fun
Yeah, these are just fun little, inexpensive gadgets 😄
Super helpful, Man! Thanks :)
My pleasure! Thanks, Carlos!!
I have one of these that I've never loaded. Time to start; I just rolled up some .EDU Ultra 400 this past weekend.
I've got the viewer, too -- maybe I'll get the chemicals together to do reversal on B&W film...
Have fun with it!!
@@Filmboy24 Got it loaded (might never have gotten there without your tutorial). Now I have 35 to 40 seconds of "I don't know what to do" to get past...
@@SilntObsvr You got the hard part done, now it's time to get creative!! You're making me want to dig mine back out now! 🤪
I'd cry if I saw someone run high end film (like ektar 100 that I can't afford), through a toy camera like this 😢
Cool,
Beautiful. Id like to buy two, so I can turn one into the 18fps motorized version, but I dont know how to lol
Well, if you figure it out, please let me know! 😉
@@Filmboy24 Here's one
czcams.com/video/bOe9cORtVsc/video.html
He does say sprocket holes break from the pressure, so it doesn't look too safe
Here is another, but I still don't know if this is a custom made motor or they bought or found it

(More info in comments by the post uploader:
motorkit is lowspeed hi-power not hi-speed . it made in japan, and DIY small box from Poly(methyl methacrylate for suit the motorset ,and modify camera drill shaft for rolling. you can adjust the idea. because i developed from "Vintage 1990 Capsela" that first idea. thanks"
@@Filmboy24 This guy has more than one videos, hes doing 18fps
czcams.com/video/45eD0KPJ3rQ/video.html
@@Filmboy24 We need an Electric Screwdriver with the mode to max out at 540rpm (which is exactly 18 fps. More RPM more fps) - acc to a comment by uploader: twostopsover
Sorry for so many messages, im myself trying to figure it out
@@DethronerX Those are pretty cool but if I'm being totally honest, I really dislike the shaking frame lines. I'm not a fan of overscanning film anyway but the vibrating lines in these make it so hard to watch. Kinda the nature of the beast with this camera though.
each turn of the crank takes a photo that makes up the video?
And how many frames can it have?
Yes, that is correct. You'll hear a click with every turn, which is one exposure.
There are approximately 144 individual frames with a 36 exposure roll.
@@Filmboy24 Another question. Can I record the screen of a cell phone? If I want to record a video, do I have to record it in slow motion so that the playback speed is normal?
@@omarsolis3380 I've never tried filming a cell phone screen with one of these before but I imagine you would get odd results. When filming something like a TV screen with a normal movie camera, you will usually get flicker or horizontal moving lines. This is due to the difference in refresh (Hz) rate on the TV vs your camera's shutter speed. These things can usually be adjusted to help compensate. I'm not sure that's possible with these little cameras.
@@Filmboy24 creo que lo intentaré
Thanks for your video! The user guide says "a red flag pops up behind the hotshoe when you reach the end of your film, does your camera do that? I never saw mine do that
You know, it's funny you mention it because I never noticed. I just looked at my camera and it does have the little "red flag" behind the hot shoe, however I'm not sure if mine has ever popped up before. I guess I need to run another roll through it to test it out. Thanks for watching!!
it's hard for me to use. I followed your steps and tried to load the films. But the gears didn't work and just roll themself. The rewind handle didn't move when I tried to shoot.....
It sounds like you're not getting the end of the roll locked in and it may be free spinning. Make sure you crank a couple of turns to make sure before you close the camera.
Hi. i just bought a new lomokino and i havent use it yet. im wondering, when you roll the right side roller (idk what does it called), does the camera lens shutter open/close while capturing? because when i tried to roll, the lens shutter does not open/close. is it normal?
Hello, yes, the shutter opens but I can tell you that it's very hard to see it. You have to look very closely into the front of the lens and roll the handle slowly and you'll see it quickly open and close. It's almost like a tiny, tiny LED light in there. I would try a roll of film in it before spending too much time on the shutter.
@@Filmboy24 i’ve tried to roll it slowly and nothing happened :(. Thats okay. I will try to shoot using this camera later and see how it goes. Thank you for your informative reply 😄
So it turns out iso 400 is fast enough for this little guy. I thought it's really low light and needs > 800.
Yes, I've had pretty good luck with 400 speed film. Seems to kind of be the sweet spot for this little camera.
Yeah it should work fine even with ISO 200 stock during daylight. The Shutterspeed is i think 1/175
It’s more of a “GIF camera”…
😂😂 I’m laughing because you’re spot on!!
Cool. But waste of money.
