    This tiny 35mm point and shoot packs a great lens which was a joint venture by Minolta and Leica in the early 1990's. This auto everything film camera features great fill-flash, fast and accurate focusing and a perfect meter.

    This was my first camera, I got it used in the late 90's when I was 9 or 10, used it for many years and loved it. Great video!

    I took five shots and the battery door popped open. I closed it and the counter went back to #1. I couldn’t hear whether it rewound - in which case I am going to get double exposures. Do you have experience of the door opening and what happens if it does?

    Hello and thank you for the review.
    So, how this Leica lens compares to Carl Zeiss 35mm f3.5 of Yashica T4? In terms of sharpness and color.

    looks pretty much like my yashica minitec super with its 33mm 3.5 ^^

    What is the difference between this (C-625AF) and the C-525AF version of the same camera?

    • @FilmPhotographyChannel
      @FilmPhotographyChannel  Před 4 lety +2

      Looks like the 525 is just a previous model with the same 34mm f3.5 lens. It was manufactured in 1990 vs the 625 in 1991. There were so many tiny fully automatic compacts built in the 90s, it’s hard to keep up. I like these cameras some but I much prefer a camera with a bigger aperture that allows a nice out of focus background. It’s much harder to get good bokeh from these little cameras.

    I have panasonic c-535AF and i inserted the film, but it still says “s”

    • @FilmPhotographyChannel
      @FilmPhotographyChannel  Před 4 lety

      Did you stretch it all the way to the orange dot?

    • @sabinebarisa
      @sabinebarisa Před 4 lety +1

      I don’t have an oragne dot or i just don’t know where to look for it, but it still shoots, it just shows an “s”

      Oh, maybe the sensor that tells the camera that there’s film in it is broken.

    Panasonic Leica or Minolta Leica? Camera says one thing, your description says another thing.

      It’s a Panasonic camera with a Leica lens. Says so in the title of the video.

      @@FilmPhotographyChannel I went looking for a wiki. There is one if you just google Leica Mini wiki.
      At the bottom of page it says made by Kyocera of Japan. Doesn't really matter to me I guess. Flickr has about 2600 image samples. Some pretty good.
      Guess I'll see what I can do with a roll.

      There were a lot of these cameras that probably shared parts and maybe even optics. The camera in the video was too loud in focusing and advancing the film for my taste. It had a decent lens but I like film cameras with bokeh. I think bokeh mixed with film grain looks magical!

      @@FilmPhotographyChannel yeah, me too man.
      I do street interviews for our local paper, and I need decent bokeh. I suspect I'll sell this and put the money toward a lens.
      Love your channel. Relaxed and comfortable.
