❤❤
I have just bought one of these in original good condition for a display because of it's shutters to mask off unwanted light, as most idiots take them out. But it is nice to see you after so many years in TQ1.
Any idea what the difference between the minister 1 and 2
You have to know this camera and love working with it, then everything will work out. Supporting that statement is this video. "TLR Lubitel 2 cameras, Lubitel 166U examples of black and white photos" and is also well written about it in Giovanni Manisi's book "Lubitel Stories: Fotografare con la biottica venuta dalla terra dello Sputnik". Thank you for publishing!
In this clip examples made with this camera: TLR Lubitel 2 cameras, Lubitel 166U examples of black and white photos. I like it!
Brilliant video Thanks 👍🏻 I’ve just purchased 4 of these lights for my home studio $100 AUD the lot. Your information is just what I was looking for 🤝🏻 Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I was oiling the shutter mechanism on a very worn out MTL50 but now it triggers on its own when I try to wind the next frame and shutter does not work. Mirror is clammed shut to top of camera. Any ideas beyond never to oil the camera mechanism again?
I have bought one but the aperture blades are stuck on the lens and i can't find any thing online on how to fix it
Not sure what to suggest. Do you have a camera repair man locally? Must admit they are getting hard to find these days. Hope you manage to fix it.
@@ProfMoose update i fixed it and now it works perfectly
@@totallynotniall9547 That's good to hear. I've put mine somewhere safe... very safe... so safe I can't find it. It'll turn up when I stop looking.
@@ProfMoose you'll find it at some point 🤣🤣 I'm going to buy some B&W film and go shooting in brum at the end of the month
@totallynotniall9547 what was the process to get the blades working right
What I like the most of this camera is the "Mamut leather" strip 😂🤣
Very nice video and tale from the past !!
The strand board we had had the dimmers in racks with tails and 2 pin plugs on them - so you could put the dimmer on a range of channels. Each channel had 2 stitches - one was a 2 position sw and the other a 3 position sw. I think the upper 2 position was either 'on' or 'dimmer'. The lower one offered 'Off', 'Master' and 'on'. Master was powered thru a master sw on the end of the rack.
Do work on your intro and outro. Curtain rising at the start and falling at the end is a must ;)
Another 'problem' with those vertical slide dimmers - you needed a broom handle to act as a master dimmer !
3:12 "the smell rom the oil and the gas and whatever else we were burning..." How about lime !!!!!
IMO 'floats' were on water and individual lamps. Maybe these were 'safety floats' ;)
I’d forgotten that the JP (Strand Junior Preset) had rotary masters, worked My Fair Lady on one back in the 1970s.
I have an older phone whose cable ends in the square RJ11 plug rather than a standard BT plug. Is it "OK" to use the modem part of a microfilter to connect to wall or will this be suboptimal? Thank you!!
Did you leave the Parodinal for 3 days? That's a prerequisite. Mine works exactly like Rodinal.
Long live the pheasant King. What a practical video!
We need more pheasants.
Channel Moose has taken over Imagine and Aspire oh no
Stand development - the easy way to ruin your film. Literally every photo forum thread on bad film starts with "I was stand developing in Rodinal for 60 minutes, and my film has blotches all over it. Any idea why????"
I cut my thumb open on the locking clasp.
The Gopro is no better in that respect.
you still about? or are you lazing on some sunny beach somewhere .
O wish! :-)
There's a mounting comes with it for when you take it out of the waterproof case
Hey thanks for the video! What's the main difference with the other Praktica models such as MTL5B?
I just picked up one of these. It's the same model as yours. I think these are quite underrated cameras. The only thing I don't like is the exposure display because the iso numbers and exposure value numbers are tiny and almost impossible to read.
I agree - great cameras but meter too small to read especially if you're in a hurry. The accuracy can drift off a bit with age too.
Gday mate, thanks for the video. Just wondering if you could upload a video using your film advance lever with the back door open? Mine makes a similar noise to yours but doesn't actually advance any film thats loaded in to it.
Sorry for very late reply - only just found your comment. YT can be very slow to notify at times. I'll try to do a vid for you in the next couple of days.
@@ProfMoose No worries at all. I really appreciate your time.
What if I use Kodak Vision?
I've never had the chance to use it - that's the disclaimer. I understand Vision 3 has a very wide exposure latitude. How this affects reciprocity failure I don't know and it's boiling my brain thinking about it. I guess it's down to experimentation - you may be the first to catalogue the failure curve in a practical format :-)
@@imagineandaspire7581 Thank you for the reply, after one year :))
I love in Peterborough Ontario canada and found two on a tin shed so I rescued them witch the power plug been cut off where could I find two power cords with the plug ends ???
The power cord needs to be high temperature silicon rubber. Try your local stage lighting supplier. Sorry I can't be of more help but being in the UK I don't know what your conventions are for stage lighting.
can you please tell me how to do ISO settings on this camera?
Please can a next episode be about film filters, again?
As you've promised 👍, but only B&W film :(, and all of them have same supplier, just different labels.
Shockingly it's been two years! A lot has happened so there'll be a couple more just to catch up on film. I'd like to know who's coating all this stuff. I wonder if there aren't one or two small scale coating plants out there - possibly India or China. Need to look at colour film too.
@@imagineandaspire7581 but there are more B&W producers anyway. You have UK, Germany, Czech republic, Italy, Japan(?), USA, Russia. Color is just Kodak and Japan.
Why are you not making film videos anymore?
Funny you should ask that! I've just started a Fun With Film news/catch up video which will hopefully be up later this week.
I enjoyed this video very much as well as your presentation style. You didn't talk much about the fixer though. Any fixer would do?
Yes whatever fixer you normally use is fine.
Flat?
When testing developers it is best to dilute a small sample to your normal working dilution. Then test a drop on film and time till it goes dark grey, that should normally be about 1/5th of normal development time.
This is of course a thorough and useful approach. In this video we just needed a very quick test to establish if the developer would work at all - as you can see the answer is not always... The method you describe is an excellent way of gaining some sort of calibration for 'dodgy' developers. Time for me to stop being lazy and start using it.
Bellini makes an ECN-2 Kit for home use. Theres no need anymore to use C41 or RA4.
Hey brother. I have the Mamiya Rb67 proS trying to get the adapter for the kL lens can you please help me thank you.
A quick google suggests Ebay might be your best bet. Depending where you are you may have to import one.
Brasso works a treat Companies build things that aren't designed to last so that they make you buy more.
Nice vid shame about the inside :)
Nice editing
Nice im terrible at coding :P
The original code is in the arduino tutorials. Pity they aren't very clear on how or why it works.
Still using Patt23 and the Patt 123 you mentioned in your video, such a versatile little light. Great training the youngsters on them - though as you say the bases are getting quite pricey to replace - have just converted 4 to decor units with energy saving bulbs inside.
It's good to know someone is still using them - I love them! The P123 produces a much more gentle light than some of the modern stuff.
I got a Raspberry Pi to run a ringing software once. After a while it started to crunch and and I changed over to my laptop...
Great for Black and White! We don't need digital and photoshop to create good images and the older methods didn't need all these strange features that people don't use on the likes of newer DSLRS!
Wow. Your videos are amazing! I would love to meet you sometime. Maybe in a dark alley?
Thanks for information :)
I still shoot with a Canon 5DII outdoors, as I have disabilities that make me somewhat clumsy and don’t want to damage my more expensive full frame camera. The 5DII must be about 12 years old, and even my newest digital camera is over 3. I also shoot wildlife with a 7DII which can fire 10fps and catch the exact moment an osprey catches its fish in Scotland and crops my Sigma 150-600 Sport image by 1.6 before I even start any post edited. In the studio I prefer my 5DIII because I can work tethered, in fact I only bought it because I’d killed the tethering port on my 5DII. I certainly don’t think photography needs bigger, sharper more processed images. However, and this is the biggest however ever, film gives an image that X factor. My favourite camera is my Zorki 4K with my sublime Jupiter 8 50mm f2, though I have got half an eye out for a Jupiter 3 at a sensible price. I mainly shoot black and white 35mm film for two reasons, the first being I love the look of the broad tonal range which you just don’t get with digital. HP5+ being my favourite 35mm film but nearly always FP4+ in the Zorki which is the only B&W film I habitually use other developers than Rodinal, Ilfosol3 when I want a sharper image and Ilfotec LC29 for that buttery look. The second reason it that at the moment I only have a B&W 35mm enlarger and have to scan colour and 120 film. Until you’ve spent half a day in darkroom getting that totally unique image, that no one else would be able to replicate, just right you don’t realise why Adams said you "make" an image. But he, Weston, Penn and many more were masters of the darkroom, discussing 'Moonrise over Hernandez' Adams said "Thirty seconds in the camera and six weeks in the darkroom." Even then he wasn’t satisfied as there are at least 27 or 29 distinctly different versions in existence and I’m sure his note taking wasn’t as bad as mine. For me, there isn't an either or, with film versus digital, both can live in harmony in the massive and extremely diverse world of photography. We should all be allowed to shoot what we want, with what we want and as long as we aren’t harming anyone else should be left in peace to do so. If at the end of the day you have an acceptable image I applaud you, if you have a good image I salute you, if you have an excellent image I envy you.
My father in law gave me a MTL3 that the self timer doesn’t work on, but that camera survived a house fire. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it as yet as I’m trying to use up the numerous rolls of film I have loaded in other cameras. Subscribed.
