What film did you use for the canon ae-1

As this is a film test, aren’t the results, except exposure, more down to the lens?

Pentax K1000 is mechanicaly Pentax Spotmatic II with adoption for use lens with a bayonet K instead a screw M42 lens mount

SPROCKET SIBLING! Yo I love the sprocket pano landscapes. I am obsessed with sprocket shots. I've uploaded 6 youtube shorts of me slamming some 35mm through my Yashica TLR camera. Being a 6x6 it ain't the best for panoramic, but you get the sprockets. Really great shots man. The colors are popping and they're crispy sharp. Is there a way to compensate for the seeming loss of contrast and warmth in the overscans? Or you dig them that way? Anyway Thanks for sharing man. Love the vibe. Subscribed. Would love it if you could peep out one of my sprocket shorts. I'm out here dropping a film photo short daily and hustlin people in the comment sections, but regardless I have nothing but the best intentions... to save the world from film borders, and show them the light of sprocket shots!

I have watched this video 10 times now lol

I have the 1000 and AE1+P - both fab, I shoot the Canon and prefer the MX to the K1000

AE1 light meter telling you what aperture to go to, as opposed to just saying "too much light" or "not enough light" is a real problem. Especially for beginners.

Just got a k1000 at around $50 Cosmetically a bit worn up if we look at the base plate but the front back and too are clean critical components like shutter, iso and Lightmeter works Seals & shutter curtains are intact The viewfinder is clean but there’s a small line I think i t was a nice deal

I had the K1000 when it first came out - loved it but the shitter jammed ... 🦘

I’m amusing you would have give the whole rn back to the lab when processing ?

Picture quality comes down to lens and film, irrespective of the camera body, but the AE-1 body was in a higher league than the K1000. The AE-1 was the first of Canon's new generation of Auto/Manual cameras, while the K1000 was the last of a generation, an old manual-only Pentax Spotmatic (late 1960s design) given a bayonet mount makeover. The Pentax ME Super was the AE-1's equivalent. Nevertheless, the K1000 pictures are better there, with the AE-1 having a colour-cast (lens yellowing?) and vignetting. I would say most shots were over-exposed by a stop, but deliberately!? (3:00) but that's a matter of taste. The AE-1 has more comprehensive viewfinder info so you can adjust manual exposure without taking it down from your eye, but you can't really do that with the basic needle and marker of the K1000 - although Arizona light is so bright I guess you never need to worry about shutter speed wrt camera shake.

I first shot on my high school's K1000, the Canon AE-1 was my first camera.

3, 2, 1, 😬😳😱

Winner Pentax K1000, Canon saturates the color a lot, they are not real colors.

Canon had always great lens even in digital cameras

Nice vid, two points though. A better comparison would be with the Pentax me, the only thing they have in common is being 35mm slr's. And how could you not want to photograph that stove properly?( 11:20) That was the coolest thing you came across in the whole video.

I managed a camera store for 16 years and my experience was that the made in Japan K1000s are very good cameras, but the made in China ones had iffy quality and were prone to fail for a number of reasons. The zing on the Canons is a worn shutter brake and not a major problem.

Oh hey... it's my local lab!

Great video!

I LOVE this kind of content

The Pentax K1000 was my first film camera back in 1994 and the Canon AE1 was the last film camera I purchased (at Tempe Camera in 2020) I love and miss them both!

Seems like the bokeh on the lens for the AE-1 is nicer. I have a RICOH XR-2s but I have not shot it yet still waiting on my light seals to come in the mail.

I have an K1000, but I’m liking the color saturation of the Canon,it was more fun

How come when hold camera upside over fence the picture didn’t come out upside down?

"this" means nothing when unable to discern to which camera you are referencing. Shots are great. The comparison side by side would've taken this next level. I use both cameras, often in tandem...BW ISO 400 in AE1 Program and ISO 100 in K1000.

Good topic. Herky Jerky video.

Nice video and shots...I miss Arizona like nothing else! I was able to snag an all black Canon AE1 from Tempe Camera a few years back. The K1000 was my first "REAL" camera when I purchased it at the base PX when I was in NAVY "A" school over at San Diego (1994)

Wilson-thanks-total incredible traveling. I'll be back. 🤓

I feel your pain about the RB67 dark slide man. After missing a couple of shots (luckily not entire rolls), due to spacing out on that dark slide, removing it is the first thing I do when getting ready to shoot. I now use the shutter locking collar on my RB as my last step before shooting.

Just picked up a K1000 and a Minolta SR-T 202. So pumped to do my own side-by-side!

Beautiful shots, last time I tried this the roll never stopped cranking lmao. Curious to how many shots you think you can get from a roll of 36? Also will you feel some sort of pressure indicating the roll is done ?

Exactly the comparison I was looking for, thank you! Also the photos turned out beautiful

That was dope! I knew you could do that with a Pentax 6x7. Never occurred to me to try with an RZ67. I'm buying one next week, so this was a very well-timed view for me. Nice work, nice photos, nice new channel. Best of luck with it. Looking forward to more RZ67 videos. Peace.

Very cool. I really like using 35mm film in my medium format cameras. I use similar 3D printed adapters. Try it also in TLRs for sure.. then again, I love me some sprocket holes. It takes some preparation, but if you have the patience, and another set of the cartridge adapters, you can prepare the front end of the film from the feed roll onto the end of an old cartridge so once you’re done filming you’ll have your film already wound in the old 35mm cartridge. Just tape the film ends to try it that way.

I’ve not finished watching the whole video yet, but from what I’ve seen so far - at 6:40 in, is that, in my opinion, the Cannon might be under exposing by just a hair.. like maybe a half or even only a 1/4 stop. That could also just be a difference between the lenses, or very slight differences in shutter speeed/aperture. Both companies made some crazy good glass! I’m just seeing ever so slightly darker/higher contrast from the Canon. I own at least a dozen working models of each of these two classics and with the right Takumar lens on the Pentax, and the right FD lens on the AE-1, they’re both masters at what they were designed to be.. almost “idiot proof” photographic tools. I love mine and there’s a reason the K-1000 - for decades - was the gear of choice for photography classes in most schools. (during the late 60s through the early 80s). Personally, I’d go with the much more mechanical K-1000 in case of battery issues. LR44 batteries for the Pentax are much more available than the 28L for the Canon. I have repaired old film gear for several decades now, and I’ve had to fix more AE-1 cameras than K-1000s.. just sayin’ 😉. Nicely done comparison video. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the vignetting on the AE1, but the colour seemed richer. I lean towards the K1000 - but that may be due to ownership bias. It's quite a workhorse of a camera.

what's your favorite ? which one would you pick between the two ?

Awesome! How difficult would this be on a Mamiya C330?

Thanks for the comparison!

❤❤❤❤

Love it!!! So cool!!!

That looks so beautiful Thanks

This is awesome! Thanks for taking us with you ❤
