So this is what I learned. Both the internal battery (a button cell of 2025 type) and the external 2CR5 have to be fully charged for the camera to operate. In my case, the internal battery is out of juice and I need to get a technician to replace the internal battery as it takes some skill getting to that part inside the cam. What a ridiculous feature Yashica put in it…
Thank you. Yes, new 2CR5 battery was placed im both cams yet zoom buttons don’t work. I guess I will bit my lip and place a roll of film and test it myself if it then works. Will update the result here.
Hello, the zoom should work when the camera is on. But please ensure that you’ve got the battery installed. The display will function without the main battery installed, which may make an impression as if the camera has power (this is because a small internal battery powers the screen).
Can the camera controls like zoom be tested without placing film in it? I have a 3.0 ad 4.0 and while the camera turns on, the zoom buttons on both are unreactive. So I am doubting whether it requires film to be loaded.
Interesting review of the high end Canon camera. I thought I’d just mention here, that at one time, I owned two mint Canon Ftb’s, and a series of the last of the breech lock lenses that were multi-coated, which I preferred to the newer non-breech lock lenses. When I brought them in to Canon in Chicago for a CLA, a technician working there from Japan felt the need to come out and talk to me when I picked them up. He wanted me to know the FTb’s were considered some of the strongest and most solid cameras Canon…
Update the firmware on your Polaroid I-2 to fix the autoexposure features.
Until recently, full auto, shutter priority, and aperture priority modes on Polaroid I-2 cameras have been lacking or useless, according to @theinstantcameraguy in his YouTube video: youtube.com/watch?v=j4z-T5…
But an easy firmware update that you can initiate through your Polaroid app is now available to fix it all. Once you pair your camera with your phone, you can view your firmware version in your app and update it…
I think that if you’re using a lens that has an auto-only aperture control using a method I described, it’ll always have the aperture fully open. Because such lenses rely on the camera body to close down the aperture just before the picture is taken and in this case, it is disconnected from the body.
Les escribo desde Uruguay. Mi comentario se debe a que tengo una cámara Canon EOS Rebel G (similar a la mencionada en este articulo) y quiero utilizarla con un lente que no es de la marca Canon, al realizar lo que mencionan de girarlo 2 grados en sentido antihorario me figura que la apertura de diafragma es de 0.0, mi pregunta es, ¿Al sacar fotos así, la apertura pasa a ser la mínima del lente (en este caso 1.4)? En este lente no tengo la opción de regular la apertura…
It came to my attention that a new film, or more precisely, a new film format, will launch on September 5th, 2024.
I’m marking this post as a spoiler, and I won’t attach any images here for the benefit of those who like surprises delivered by the manufacturers and folks whom they choose to spread the word about the products.
But since you’re here, you must’ve clicked the link, so here it goes:
It appears that Harman will be releasing their Phoenix 200 film in 120…
Ha, I have that underwater camera, only without the Dua Lipa branding. It’s a fun little toy. If you’re into Dua Lipa, go for it. If not, you can probably find a generic one for a fraction of the price.
Brief film camera-related updates from Polaroid, Lomography, and Dua Lipa.
I just got an email from Polaroid showing off their two new colours for the Now Generation 2 instant cameras: Purple and Vintage White. I reviewed this camera in (regular) white here: analog.cafe/r/polaroid-now….
Lomography is discounting their Diana Mini cameras by 25% as they sell the last of their stock: shop.lomography.com/us/dia…. Diana Mini is a classic…
All items include free shipping to the US and Canada. All film cameras are film-tested. Many were the ones I reviewed on this blog, so you know they got a proper exercise. Samples are available with each camera/lens.
Everything, except for film, has a 30-day warranty. The shop has glowing reviews and a five-star rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
О сколько нам открытий чудных готовит Прсвещенья дух, и опыт, сын ошибок трудных и гений, парадоксов друг… . Решил пробовать этот фильм в 120 формате, снимаю на старенький советский Любитель 166В, вчера и сегодня снимал сцены с разным уровнем освещения, экспозиции и условий на природе. Фильм просрочен почти на 15 лет, но по словам продавца хранился всё время в холодильнике. Снимать на Любитель 166 ни с чем не сравнимое удовольствие, это всё равно как пересесть из кабины современного сверхзвукового истребителя…
I found a video of someone scanning 35mm film with a microscope.
@atticdarkroom’s recent video is an experiment I’ve been meaning to do but never quite got around to. In it, he compares various scanners and demonstrates a relatively cheap method of adapting a digital camera lens to a microscope.
Of course, simple ideas can become complicated quickly, as is the case with this scanning setup. Because a microscope can view only a tiny area of the film strip, it needs to be shifted precisely and methodically over…
A mathematician and a stand-up comedian filmed the platform’s first YouTube video on 35mm film, only occasionally switching the format to 16mm to illustrate a point.
Stand-up Maths’ explainer video is not a short film or an art project. It is specifically YouTube-style educational content. In his exceptionally expensive ($2 per second, not counting the crew fees) video, Matt Parker explained various film formats and aspect ratios, including anamorphic lenses and IMAX. His team did film some anamorphic footage…
Hope it works this time for you, Vladimir! You can also try equalizing the histogram of your scans. It may help you get rid of some fogging and colour casts: analog.cafe/r/how-to-inver…
У меня есть несколько просроченных роликов Орвохром UT 21, 1992 г. отснял пару фильмов и не попал в экспозицию, снимал с ИСО 6, пара плёнок вообще получились непрозрачные, одна с изображениями, но красно-коричневый оттенок. В этот раз снял ролик Орвохрома со "скобками”, отослал в лабораторию и жду результаты. Надеюсь что хоть что то получится, чтоб понимать как снимать эти фильмы в будущем!
