    I recently got into film photography a couple months ago. This happen to be right before my family trip to San Francisco. Sadly, I didn't find your channel till after my trip.
    The first few locations of this video were also the same locations I shot my first shots of film. I remember sitting there with my AE-1 50mm f1.8 thinking it was too long. Looking back on my pictures at those locations just gave me so much emotion, and it also reminded me why I love the film medium. Since then I also picked up a couple FD lenses and rangefinders. Your channel may have influenced my love for rangefinders a little.
    I can't wait to go back to SF and shoot more.
    Keep up the great work!

    @weisserth Před 2 lety +1

    Ha! Yeah, as fall blends into winter, you want to have mud&snow tires on your vehicle anyways! I grew up in Germany and you are supposed to swap out your summer tires for winter tires, so most car owners in Germany keep two sets of tires. When I moved to the States, I bought a true 4WD vehicle and slapped brand new mud&snow tires on. I live in the PNW, so the snow chains go into the trunk in October by default. Always be prepared.

  • @tiberiu_nicolae

    Chains should go on the wheels driven by the engine. On the front for FWD and on the back for RWD. Small sedans are FWD.

    Do you know the difference (if any) between this version and the two models with the circular lens that pops out instead of the square shape of this one? The main one you have, the BM-201 versus the BM-301 and BM-302?

  • @squigglyline22
    @squigglyline22 Před 2 lety

    The shutter button on the BM-201 version gets a bit fiddly with age. Mine is the same, gotta wait for the green LED to focus, red LED usually tells you the flash will fire too. BM-301 is a bit faster, less noisy, better LED placement in the viewfinder. However I the square lens of the BM-201 is the far better design choice!
