Your photos are amazing.
I attended a wedding in the spring, and all attendees were issued this camera. No professional photographer. The pictures are amazing, not professional but so much better. More organic, more evocative, and more rooted in real life.
Thank you, excellent video.
Thanks a lot! Having these lying around the wedding venue for everyone to use is a great idea imo 😄
I’ve been watching your videos all afternoon! Love your photos! Great advice! I got one of these with the waterproof casing, figuring I could use it both ways. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!!
Thanks Kary! I was thinking of getting the waterproof one but I rarely go on water adventures where I live 😂
Luv this video! Very informative and nice photos. 💕
The ending part was the bestttttt.
Thanks! 😆
Great video again Bon and well done on finishing Grad School as well. I haven't used a toy / single use camera for many years but will be doing so now you have planted the idea ! I have spent the past 6 months or so picking up cheap EOS film bodies from e-bay (5, 10, 30, 100) cleaning them and shooting with them which is great fun. Your EOS 3 video last year prompted me to dust down mine and put that to use too. Looking forwards to more from you as usual and any more cameos from your beautiful cat would be most welcome . . . . .
Thanks John! Seems like you’re building a collection of EOS film cameras 😆 I haven’t used my EOS 3 for a while now~ I have a roll of Kodak Ektar sitting in it which I should finish haha
That’s crazy you posted today! Just bought one last night after seeing your last video on it :) Cheers!
Ahh nice! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do 😁
Great video! Keep them coming!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure!
Love it! 👍🏼
made you miss Edinburgh maybe 😋
Hello Bon, great video. I like your style! Keep posting.
Thanks! will do 😃
"Disposable" cameras were called single use back in the day. Processors returned them to the manufacture and the were inspected, reloaded and resold. I used to unload mine at home because it saved shipping to the developer. I found that they could be reloaded and like you, found that I got much better results with 800 and 1000 asa film. They would put marks in the camera every time it was loaded. The most I found was 6 trips.
I wish they still do that~ I’ve been tampering with some disposable cameras to try and reload them myself haha haven’t found an easy way to wind the film into the camera’s spool
@@Bonsees Was easier back then, most used a special film cartridge that was driven by a saw tooth edge. It would grip advancing but slip with the film pulling out. Would tape the film I wanted to use to the saw tooth cartridge and transfer film to it in the dark . Load it in the camera and wind the spool from the outside. New cameras look like they would have to be pre wound on the spool and assembled in the dark because they don't have a way to turn the spool from the outside.
Wow, did you edit the photos at all? The colors and resolution look really exceptional for such a camera. Also I’m really glad to have the perspective of someone who has reused it several times, durability was one of my main concerns. Thanks!
Thanks! I do edit my photos. For these I lowered the contrast and added vibrance, but it really helps that the lomography 800 film gives you good colours to begin with (I really like the blues in the lomography colour films). And yeah, it's pleasantly surprising that a cheap plastic camera is able to last that long haha!
i love the photos 😍
Thanks! Merry Christmas 🎄
Hello! I’ve been researching on this and I found your videos. I love how you review it. Very concise and well said!
I think I’ll get this for my birthday. I’m gonna go watch more of your vids now. Stay safe and henlo cudie cat! 💕✨
Thanks! And happy birthday 🥳
Congrats on finishing Grad School! That's huge!
Thank you! It does feel like a whole book ended and I’m starting a new one 😂
well done keep shooting film great reviews, stay safe
Thanks! Stay safe as well 😄
I LOVE THIS THANK YEWWW and thank u for all the effort you put into the scripting as well! Also you're cute as heck hehe
Aww thanks 🙈
Whats up Bon, good to see you back in the Fray. dude you look all grown up what happened lol. man its been a long time since I used a disposable but these images came out great. im curious how long the flash will last and if youre able to change the battery also. I recently uploaded a video on how to develop color film at room temp that you may benefit from if you dev at home. whats your mission for next year.?
Hey Ray! 👋 My thesis happened, that's why haha grad school stress isn't a joke~~~
I actually haven't changed the battery that it came with... so it's lasted me for two years, although I don't really use it that often haha. And yeah, the battery's replaceable.
My mission for next year is to do well in my new job, start a print shop, and upload videos more regularly haha
I like your photos taken in canada street. the develop and color of the film is very good, I have try the simple use file camera one time in japan, and think that is not so good, I like my LCA+ more.
Yeah, the lab I go to does a great job with processing my films. I think you need good scans to get the most out of these plastic cameras. I don’t have an LCA+ but it looks nice
Your photos are good. The reason I use film camera is I must take photos that have interesting subjects. Composition must be good. I have only 36 photos. And strange it may sound, I like using those old film cameras. They have a character, personality, and more often that not, made like tanks. So much variety.
Thanks! I feel the same, love the character of vintage cameras 😩
Just found your channel and it made me want to experience using the film camera. Please make a video about your Fujica camera. I wonder, how do you digitise your negative film?
Thanks! I just get my film scanned by a local photolab (Downtown camera in Toronto) but I used to scan at home using either the mirrorless/dslr technique or an Epson V600 scanner
Thanks for the video. Can you talk a little more about the Show camera please? (maybe you already did in another videos)
I haven’t yet, but I’m planning on doing one 😄
Hi, love the photos! May I know what films did you use? Thanks!
Lomography colour negative 800
hey just looking for a bd present for a friend and im between this camera and the harman kentmere reusable cam, which should i choose?
I haven’t used the Harman kentmere so I don’t think I could recommend it
It kinda looks like a Kodak M35 or Dubblefilm show camera though, so maybe it’s easier to load with new film compared to this simple use camera.
I’m sure either would make your friend happy 😊
which one would you recommend more? the lomography simple use or Kodak m38? Thanks for the good video btw
For real beginners, I’d recommend the M38 more just cause it’s easier to load with film. I’m editing a video for the M38 right now haha. They’re both nice though~
@@Bonsees thank you! I wish the m38 would have more colors Im thinking about just getting the m35 cause it has pretty colours 😂
@@maryyaawagg4529 haha this is true. The M35 come in nice pastel colours. Though I'm quite happy with my bright yellow M38 haha
Hi your videos are super helpful! I have a question about my camera. Recently I just reloaded mine with new film but after taking about 5 shots the camera won’t stop rewinding. What should I do and is there anyway I can save the photos I took and the rest of the film
I would suggest to try winding the film again (see my reply on the other video) until you can't wind anymore (meaning, you've reached the end of the roll and the film is fully wound on the camera's spool).
If I'm correct, the film wasn't fully wound into the camera when you reloaded it so you were only able to take the last 5 shots of the film. To try and save them after winding the film, take the last 5 or so shots with the lens covered.
This is my best guess... you could also just take photos and maybe 5 of them will be double exposures which could still be cool.
@@Bonsees hi so should I just try to reloading the camera again with the same film? I tried to winding it but I’m not sure if it’s working
@@katrinaespiritu07 Ah that sounds like the film already went back into its canister...
Yeah, I would reload it with the same film.
If you haven't opened it yet. I would try opening it in a very dark room and feeling if the film is still out or not. If the film is fully inside the canister, you'll need a "film leader retriever" to get it out...
Do you always need the flash on? No matter the outside lighting?
No... I think it's a matter of preference. If it's sunny, you don't really need it. But I can see it being useful for backlit subjects or to get that high-contrast style.
Keep in mind, the flash only illuminates about 1-2 meters, so usually for portraits or closer subjects.
Personally, I tend to not use the flash when I'm outside since I usually take photos of street scenes that are further than 2 meters
hi, I know I'm a lil late to the party, haha, but just wanna ask how is the durability of the flash? I had a Kodak m35 for less than a month and to my disappointment, the flash no longer works, hence I'm interested in getting a new film camera but I am concern about its durability, especially the flash.
I rarely use the flash, but the one on my old simple use from 2018 still works.
@@Bonsees ah I see, that's reassuring I guess haha. Thanks!
@@jefftan2785 yeah... although it’s a little hit or miss with these plastic cameras. Not sure how rigorous Lomography is with their quality checks, but I know Dubblefilm hand checks and tests their Show cameras one at a time. The lomo simple use is pretty good and I’m not afraid to recommend it, but if you still want something that’s similar to Kodak M35, I’d give Dubblefilm Show camera a try. Dubblefilm is also pretty active on social media so you’ll be able to reach out to them if your flash fails within a month 💀
Bon Adriel Awesome! I’ll be sure to check them out too!
@@jefftan2785 good luck! ☺️
Hi does the flash automatically turns off after you use it for a shot?
Yeah~ you’ll have to press and charge the flash again for your next shot
hi! what do you prefer, lomography simple use or agfa photo?
I’m emotionally attached to my simple use cause that was my first reusable, but the agfaphoto is kinda better 😆 I like them both
Do you need to be careful with taking out the film because of sunlight ?
Ideally, yes. But the way this camera works is that as soon as you finish a roll, the film will already be rewound back in its canister, so it’ll be safe from light. Just make sure the film roll is all used up.
how do you develop and scan your photos
I used to do home development but since I work full time now, I just send my film off to a lab for developing and scanning. For regular photos like the ones I take with lomo simple use, I get my local drugstore lab (London Drugs) to develop/scan them, for bigger projects I send them to Downtown Cameras in Toronto because they have better scanners.
When developing at home, I use Unicolor C-41 kit for colour photos, and Ilford Ilfotec developer for black and white photos. I either scan with an Epson V600 or take a photo of the negative with my digital camera, then I use Negative Lab Pro and Lightroom to process the colours.
Hi, how many times can be reloaded?
As many times as you can
Wat is van be user with all weather
Are you asking if it’s useable in all weather? I’d say mostly sunny weather.
I wouldn’t get it wet, but if you use a film that’s ISO 800 you should be able to use it in cloudy/rainy weather (or use the flash)
@@Bonsees somit is handy to have more camera's?
