A Leica shutter is better than sex

Love manual/mechanical cameras. The Leica M6 titanium is my favorite 35mm manual/mechanical rangefinder camera. I use it with fast 21/35/90mm lenses. The Nikon F2 titanium is my favorite 35mm manual/mechanical SLR camera. I use it with two-dozen prime lenses that range from 14mm to 1000mm and half-dozen zoom lenses that cover the focal length range from 14mm to 200mm.

Can i use pentax k10d ?

Does this apply for very dark scenes like wedding receptions etc? And what if your subject is closer than 10 feet- I know it’s ok to over expose, but say your subject was at 3-5 feet and your aperture at f16- would it still be extremely overexposed?

This combined with zone focusing and a power winder if you choose and you have a point and shoot tank of a camera

My flash causes the mirror to stay up and only when I press the red button the flash goes off and the shutter releases, not sure what I am doing wrong

finally a correct explanation

I have a Vivitar 225 which is similar just without the bounce capability. The green light on the bottom of your flash is just to tell you if you have enough light for a good exposure with your chosen aperture when you hit the test button. The 225 does not have this feature. The manual mode blocks the thigh restor completely tricking The Flash into using full power.

When light is falling awayat dusk or when it's late in the overcast day and in a darker area that shutter won't let you shoot... But if it isn't an issue... At least it tells the exposure system is working and the cells are not worn out. Apart from that... It's just a fine camera and is great for photography in reasonably good light set to Automatic A

So nice !! these days I was trying once again to use my old AE-1 with 155A speedlite. Found your video very useful. Thanks for posting. Very motivating.

Not Leitz synk

Haha...Never ready case. CASE for the case....wow

I have this exact Vivitar flash system but on a Yashica FX-3. Thank you very much for posting this tutorial as this helps me a lot with getting into analog photography as a hobby!

Chuck! I use my iiif whenever I need a small and durable 35mm camera. I note that you are using a viewfinder mounted on the top plate. Did you know that there is an accessory that allows one to mount a small light meter beside it? It's a bracket with two slots, one for the meter and one for the viewfinder. This is especially useful if you frequently shoot with a wide angle, I.e., 35mm, lens.

Thank you, that's a great video !

Great video, thanks.

I hope you would do more photography videos, they are great.

One of the best videos of this camera and beautiful pictures! Thanks.

Hello! Thank you so much for the information. I was wondering about the lighting, if I have a 400iso film in low light, should I adjust my lomo’s iso up or down to 800/200? Thank you!

🖤💙

Just convert the circuit to use the sr44 with the schotkey diode. Fix old cameras has all the information.

May I ask, what kind of battery does this light meter use? thanks.

I have a zenit11 camera 📸 and flash but I can not make it work .help

Great little camera, I've always wanted to pick one up. I did find the earlier Olympus Pen EE half frame camera, very similar in terms of light meter and the way it auto adjust aperture etc Mine is mint, looking forward to putting some film through it.

Hi Chuck, I hope you can read this 4 years later :( can you help us explaning your exposure lock tecnique with this camera?

I feel like I missed how you were directed to use f/8 after setting the ISO on the flash. You set ISO to 400, and then without specifying what changed or where you were looking, said "that tells me to use f/8".

If my camera’s light meter doesn’t work , then I still have to change to the sync speed or it doesn’t work?

Hi I have a sakkar Automatic Multi-Dedicated bounce zoom thyristor flash, could anyone tell me what cameras I can use it on? I don’t know a lot about cameras and can’t find much info

Random but to you think vivitar 2800 compatible with Nikon FM10

extremely helpful; thank you so much!

Do not listen to your teacher When the book with the answers has disappeared, the teacher knows nothing. Remenber The Wall by Pink Floyd Your Olympus Trip made the teacher jealous. A TRIP plus a 400 ISO film make super photoos

does the sync work on moden flashes?

Great video. I have been shooting for several years now and TLRs are still my favorite for medium format.

Requires a hot shoe though, doesn’t it

Love the camera, have a iiif myself. Loved the part of how Leica saved many Jewish people. You are a great narrator too, than you.

Instead of describing the camera you could have shot some Pics with this.

Hi, your video was great! I bought this same flash, but I didn’t know that it was possible for a flash to fry a camera. I’m planning on using this with my Minolta x-700. Do you know if this is ok?? I can’t seem to find any info on the voltage that my camera can handle. Any info you have would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This is super helpful thank you! But one question, if I am shooting at 1/60th of a second likely I would need a tripod to stop blur right? Normally the lowest I could go on my OM10 would be 1/125th hand held.

The film used was Lomography 400.

What book did you read? I would be curious to learn a little more of the history as well.

It doesn't have exposure lock.

Nice to know the history behind Leica!

The Tlr was used mainly to photograph people. People blink. Ruins the photo. Using a tlr at eyelevel or waistlevel you can see if anyone blinks. Thats why I love them. I have a 1957 Yashica Mat with the 75mm Lumaxar f3.5 lens. Excellent

Hey, just one question, my red sensonrs doesn’t work on the camera when I pred the button, does that means that camera is not working. Everything else is fine.

Can someone help me out how can I use this in my dslr

useful review for me. thanks.

I got this camera from a market for 25$ as my first film camera, it is fine, but I never get that sharp images :( I guess quality of the developing process plays some role in it

This is the camera and the flash that I have. You’ve helped me so much. thank you!

Wow! Your TX looks mint! But what battery do you use in the TX for accurate meter readings? It was also designed for the PX625 1.35v mercury cells from that time. I would think that a 1.5v/1.55v modern battery would give you slightly off readings in the TX also.

i'm using LR44 batteries that have been used in a camera or whatnot until the voltage dropped to the point that the meter's battery check shows them at the correct voltage.
