That sounds really bad. Lack of lens selection, and no manual controls? Might as well just go with an Olympus om10, and get a better lens selection. 55mm 2.2 is good… for 1950s standards.

Another great comparison! Only thing is that Provia film really has a limited latidude and if you don't stay in that range it will blow the image also the Yashica was over exposing to many scenes in the rocks. One last thing that I have learned from shooting Provia, is that is does terrible in high contrast scenes were the highlights and shadows are too promenent. Other wise I have shot Provia film on medium format (Mamiya 7 II) and it is pretty mind blowing!

That is one GOOD BOY! cute doggo. I just ordered this model and found your channel. I like your vibe man. Not too much not trying to be super artsy. Just genuinely being yourself. Subscribed!

Great Video! I really enjoyed the comparison and it has now motivated me to bring out the 1 roll of Across I have in my freg and put it on my Contax G2. I do believe that if you would have used a better film camera that might have matched the lens quality of the X100 you would have gotten even more results on the film. I am wondering if you are going to compare any of the color films because I would be very curious on the results. I also have several Fuji cameras and find that the color film simultions don't come close at all to the real film. Also, new subscriber here!

I just inherited my canon ae-1 program. I was young when i used a film camera. So this was absolutely helpful. The only thing i need to look into, as of now, is when you load your film, do you take a few random clicks/pictures before you are ready for actual poctures? Thank you again for your video. Also, my batery tester doesn't beep. It is a consistent noise as long as i hold the button-down.

Is there a silver one?

Great explanation many thanks

This is so cool! I am fascinated by Alaska but I've never been. Great shots as usual. Hope things are going well in Asia.

Bro, DO NOT turn around too fast.. but there is a dog RIGHT BEHIND you starring you DOWN

This is cool! Makes me want a Pentax 17 tbh. Seems like such a fun little camera!

Idk if it’s just me but my flash works maybe half of the time, even with the red light on a lot of the time it won’t go off.

i just got one to replace my old FTN cos it was super cheap SUPER CHEAP my lenses all work n added a 20mm

Looks like pentax shared the workshop when they made the k1000

Kevin! I'm stoked for your next adventure! I just subscribed, and I look forward to joining you on your journey, through your channel! Truly inspiring that you're diving in head first into such a daring venture!

Better not to drop :)

❤

I shared the same journey with my dad. Thank you for making this video and really making me understand more and more why I reference him all the time and everything that I do with the photography.

Great work ! Your videos are really inspiring, you definitely deserve more recognition !

The selling point for the Reflx Lab light meter for me was that it can meter up to 30 seconds. The TTArtisan light meter is limited to 1 second. 🤷

4:00 did your buddy just posed for a picture? 😲 cool

Hm, I like my Minolta X-700, cheaper than the AE 1 and it has full auto and aperture priority mode

love my at-1 and EF, I'd not recommend the ae-1 if you're a beginner, unless you don't like to learn.

Also recommend the AV-1

Another good one to look for, and usually fairly reasonably priced, is Nikon FM. No bells and whistles, bu very well built.

pentax ME super is better and smaller and has far better lenses and feel far better constructed and have auto

Thank you for your time: IMHO more of these comparisons should be made. I might have missed it but it would have been intersting to know at what ISO setting the X100V was shot. I do aknowledge the great work Fuji's engineers have done with their film simulation + great sensor of the X100V. The Jpegs are great looking, without clipping the highlights. But there are two aspects which will make my choice go to film: much much more detail and micro-contrast (look at the grass blades and the tree bark on the last shot of "floating" tree) and the gradation of the skies (the X100V produces one shade and basically stays on that color when film produces many more nuances). Have a great day. Thanks

What about the canon new f1 or the old f1 they are a more premium and more professional versions of the ae1 with more functions and speeds

Thanks influencers for jacking the up the price of this camera! 😌

I started with the chinon CP5, it was $30 with a 35-80 and it uses k mount lenses which makes finding lenses cheap. The brand chinon is not well known meaning these cameras sell for way cheap. The cp5 also has 2 program modes, apature priority, manual, and multiple exposure integration. If youre getting into film photography, just remember that an expensive box wont get good photos, its understanding your gear.

AE1 was a plastic easy to use consumer product.. A pain to use in manual..Prefer a nikon FE or FM same era much better product..

Nah, Olympus om2n. And if that’s too expensive and you’re on a budget, I’d recommend the Olympus OM20/G. Simple to use and inexpensive, arguably better than the OM10. Doesn’t have the spot meter like the OM2/n but is still a good choice. If you want program there is the later later OM2 SP, or the cheaper OM40/PC

Like most cameras of that era, the designers didn't expect people to be using this camera beyond year 2019 (that's the latest possible year on the time stamp function).

This is EXACTLY how i feel about photography ❤ your essay is a treasure!!! Thank you so much!

You can get a 30 year old Nikon F3 with lens for $50

Wait, that’s not the AE-1. That’s the AE-1 Programme, a later updated version of the AE-1. The black mass near the advance lever is the biggest giveaway.

I grew up LDS (Australia) and man, your dad looks familiar. What a cool dude.

awesome upload, 💪

This is a beautiful video and Kodachrome, my God. It holds up. The quality is amazing. I hope Kodak finds a way to bring it back, no matter how impossible it seem. And damn, your dad is an amazing photographer 😅

Your figures do not add up. It is nowhere near this expensive to shoot film. You can a) bulk load rolls of b+w film; b) develop yourself (i.e. cinestill). An example, fomapan 100ft roll is like $60 and gives 18 rolls of 36 ct. cinestill monograph develops 18 rolls for $20. Minus the labour you just did 18 rolls for under $100 (even if you add in reusable cartridges, used paterson tank etc). Scan yourself and buy a simple canon cp1300 4x6 printer (under $100) and you will have saved all that money. You can buy colour film in bulk and develop it but costs a little more. Sorry mate but you are not telling an accurate story.

It’s like my Yashica fx 70

Or the Minolta x370 is a really good one

Get a mechanical camera... Not these plastic ones with plastic gears. They made millions of them, yes, so their fail rate is masked by their numerousness.

By the way did you match the metering mode of the two cameras? Like if the film one has a center weighted metering mode did you use the same on the digital? Also, holy moly those are some nice reds @ 23:44

Interesting comparison! Those kinds of color casts (2:27) is why I like film more. I don’t shoot film, but whenever I see film photos, it’s the colors that impress me. Fuji sooc jpegs just look too boring and digital to me. IMO Fuji should have color grading for shadows and highlights in their cameras, and they should have more film sims that changes the colors more dramatically. Classic Neg is an example of an interesting sim imo. Then again I shoot RAW so what does my opinion matter lol. :P

The f-1N is the AE1on steroids. Somewhat elusive, and very hard to repair. However it is the pinnacle of old school canon SLR

My mother (who taught me how to shoot) started on an AE1, she found it in her father's field and has been a camera lover ever since (don't worry, she did try to find the original owner first). She still shoots on canon's, I prefer Nikon's though

I want one

Looks almost like a sony s2 product

Film photography (BW) on a budget: 1. Minolta SRT/X-300 incl. 50mm f/1.7 lens: 50-100 € 2. Fomapan 100: 4.50 €/roll 3. Copystand for scanning (old Enlarger + ball head mount + old DSLR + Macrolens + light panel): 400 € 4. Development kit (Light tight bag + Peterson tank + jug, thermometer): 50 € 5. Developer and Fixer (for a year) : 20 € ----- Initial costs: ca. 600 € Annual running costs (if you shoot 1 roll per week, no prints included): ca. 250 € P.S: Don't buy overhyped cameras like the AE-1. It really is not that great. I highly recommend looking into Minoltas (SRTs, X-300/370, X500/570, XG-1/2,...those are fantastic and the glass is superb). If you go medium format, look for folder cameras (e.g. Zeiss Ikon Ikontas, Nettar) or Bronicas. My top Tip: Learn how to "sunny 16"! This way you don't depend on working lightmeters and that opens a whole new world of old cameras.

Please stop paying 200 to 300 bucks for a Canon AE1. If you want a focal plane shutter camera get literally any Minolta SRT for literally a tenth of the cost of an AE1. I have no clue why it's sucha popular option when there's many many better options within that time period alone. I know you are just using it as an example since it was handed down to you and everything. It's a fine camera just not the first choice, especially at that price. I own one and like it, only really bought it to use the FD mount glass I've found over the years, and when I found an AE1 at a swap meet that was good condition I swooped, I think at the time it set me back like 40 bucks or so. I really really do like the included 50MM 1.4 that came with it though, it's the sharpest 50 I've ever used. It's right back like the 80's when literally the name "program" would sell the camera haha. In that price range you can get so much more value from like a Pentax LX or something
