Curious to know if this is still working?

Awesome camera, it looks beautiful, has everything you need, and handles beautifully. Got one in 1984, used it like mad.i had to sell it to finance my degree. Then got lost real life. On the way I had canon t90! Canon 100, canon 1000fn, canon EOS 1n, leica d-lux 7, canon 5D mark ii, FED 3, but my heart has always been with canon a1. Do not buy a cheap one, they are old and have problems. Search for one that has been cleaned and serviced. I got one for £130 fully serviced body only. I already have 4 lenses from the canon t90.

very nice series of photos ! I bought a C330f body and a couple of lenses (55mm 135mm) off of eBay (Japan) during the shut-down phase of Covid (earlyl 2020). I have added a 105mm f3.5 I got at a camera club swap meet. Shamefully, I have yet to put a roll of film through it ! But you video is inspirational !

I was looking at your videos and photos and I was saying to myself " I've been there before. And it hit me that it was in sparkle city, South Carolina

How are you getting the camera to release the shutter? Are you cranking main winding mechanism?

Nice v

When I use prism eye finder, the focus seems not clear than seeing it through waist level. Is this normal?

Love the photographs !

For excellent-mint condition the prices are higher from 3yrs ago even without the lens. I've seen them in the mid-$200-$300 range from time to time. Most times in bargain to good condition at lower prices.

Ever had battery issues? My battery dies super quick in this camera

I have cannon A1 camera and want to sell it

Hey there! Did you edit the color profile of these photos? I’m just trying to confirm whether you intended on making all of them look as warm as they do, or if that is just the result of this film stock 📸

Lovely photos and great choice of background music!

Thank you for your expertise. I bought an A-1 from an estate sale recently. You made me feel better of my purchase.

They have issues with battery discharge, just to let you know. An issue I am currently attempting to rectify.

Great video! Do you recall if you were shooting w/ the flash on or off?

I had mine since 1980, feels so good to hold

Love you

I like your enthusiasm for the Canon A-1. You are not 18 and just blabbing about a camera that was built before you were born, you know and love this camera.

I've had my A1 since 1981 and I still use it. It's like a part of the family. I've got four great lenses. 50 mm 1.4 ssc, 28 mm 2.0 ssc, 85 mm 1.8 ssc, and the 135 mm 2.5 sc. With the motor drive along with the 199 A Speedlite. What more could you ask for? Thank you for not making me feel old. LOL.

I just got it a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it, it's my first camera and I really think it's the best one I could've gotten as a first one, sure Nikon FA would perhaps be better but it's more expensive and the lenses are sooo expensive for them, I think New F-1 isn't much more expensive surprisingly but let's be real as a beginner it would be too much, even the A-1 outclasses my capabilities quite a bit for now

Interesting not all of the gs645w have that metal brush guard in front of the lens. So some not need it ?

I want one..

Got my dad's A-1 recently. The thing is a beast. Solid. Dependable. Enjoying results with XP2.

Great advice. how do you get the slide developed film on the cardboard holder? Are they sold elsewhere?

I’ve shot this film in 35mm and developed it in Rodinal 1:50 for 9.5 minutes and was extremely happy with the results. Good tonal range and contrast. I enjoyed your images and how well they turned out also.

Hey ! What’s the name of the reciprocity app ? Thx for the good work

Had to laugh when you commented on turning around and seeing other people shooting. I went out shooting with a neighbor and every time I finished a shot and turned around I wound up ruining hid shot of me shooting.

🤣you had me at " get away from people".

Not surprised you broke the winder - you were being kinda rough with it! I've had mine 25 years and never had a problem. Groundhog tip: stand with the sun on your shoulder and you won't photograph your own shadow!

Personally I’m not a fan of the orientation sequence, unless you shoot a ton of portraits. And that front metal bumper thingy is also weird and plan ugly. Now those are definitely just minor issues for me that might steer me clear but other than that it looks like a great addition to your camera collection.

Fast forward 2 years. Price nearly doubled. I got mine for free under the impression it was a paper weight, but one battery search later, it works, LED screen and all. But torn between selling it cause I have a Nikon FE with two lenses so yeah lol.

At home developing anxiety is real!

Alright I've gotta ask cause I've finally found someone who wears glasses and shoots an rb67 with the prism finder! Did you have to get a different diopter to work with your prescription lenses? I had the worst trouble with my bronica etrs because of it and eventually sold it. I really want to get a prism finder for my rb67 but hesitant to do it if I'm going on a wild goose chase for a correct diopter :/

Zach, I just ordered your book. Thanks for doing what you do for the community. I want to start buying photo books from people like you, Matt Day, Framelines, etc. The videos you guys do inspire me to shoot more. I also love learning about the cameras you are all using to see what might work best for me. Digital finally reached a point for me where the soul was gone. I decided to go back to film (I'm 66 so have a lot of rolls under my belt, but it's been years). I decided if I"m going to shoot film I should shoot MF. Currently I"m using a Pentax 645 Nii and Fujifilm GS645. I love them both. Can you tell me about other photogs doing what you're doing and are selling books? I want to see what is out there and do my small part to support this amazing community.

hey Zach! so good to hear u ALSO have an RB like me. im tossing up between the GS645 or the GS645S. i prefer an 'normal' lens and not so much wide angle. BUT the 645S is cheaper, and i prefer without bellows. how does the 60mm lens go with portraits? I plan on using it in the streets for fast shooting, but if i did street portraits.... i would usually want something not so wide. let me know! cheers!!

I got one in 1979. I took tons of great pictures with it. Retired it after digital cameras came into being. I had it on display on a shelf at home (along with my AE-1 Program) and recently decided to mess around with it. The thing is built like a friggin tank. It still works (So does the AE-1P). All I needed to do was buy a battery. Amazing engineering by Canon at the time. Quality lasts!

Show your snow today 1-16-22

Great video mate! I didn't have much luck with some expired provia 100 recently! You got some great shots and have great compositions!

I've done some close-ups with my Intrepid and Instax wide film. Very fun stuff :)

I love the A1 my first film camera!

Bought my A-1 in 1978. Shot hundreds of rolls of slide and b/w film through it. Concerts, travel, sports, it never quit. I still have the camera and the MA-1 motor drive. Think the motor drive shot a blazing 5 FPS.

you should come to Myrtle Beach sometime. I could show you some good places to shoot that are off the beaten path. \

Great review and awesome shots! Just got mine. While the price has gone up a bit, I love it. What strap do you have there?

It's cheaper if you just bulk load a 100 ft Kodak XX

Damit Zach. Now I want a Fuji!

Curious as to if you still have this bad boy and how its held up after a year+ if you do. Thanks!

wow some absolute Gems. My favorite has to be the shot of the Sign where all the red light on the asphalt.

Love how you have Brae Hunziker’s channel pulled up in the background. Haha Love the video and your photos. ✌🏾

I bought an X-T4 two weeks ago and I love it. It made me start shooting a lot more again, which my EOS-R and 6D MKII haven't been able to do for quite some time now. I've travelled to Ireland this last week and shot jpegs only, to try out a ton of recipes from fuji x weekly and they blew my mind. Also, glad to see you back buddy!
