I got this thing precisely because of its compatibility with my DSLR lenses and I got tired of carrying duplicate lenses for my grandpa's old AE-1P when I want to shoot film and digital. This thing has been amazing and I shoot film much more often now!
Just gat mine today for £13 a also shot with a canon r6 and a Ricoh gr 3 but had to add a film camera to my collection and a already feel connected to thes cute camera ,thank you for the video it was very helpful 🤗 you are awesome 👏👏👏
Such a great video! I got this one from my uncle, loved it! On my third film I tried a recycled kinda film and not even one photo was made.. could the film be defective? Tried to click the camera with no films and shutter is working perfectly.. and since the camera counted 36 photos, don’t think that I inserted the film wrong.. anyway, if you or anyone have something to say about it, I’ll be thankful 🙃
i’ve have the 500n the shutter, mirror & flash actuate fine when no lens is on, when i put on my EF 50 1.8 the focus motors work on it perfect but the shutter won’t actuate at all, is this a camera fault or lens compatibility problem ?
hi! sorry if this is a dumb/silly question, but is this camera compatible with EFS lenses? I have one for my rebel t7 and it would be great if it works between them both
@@thefilmcameraclub8141 wonderful! thank you so much for the quick response. i do all my photography in manual anyway so this works out perfectly for me.
So is there any way to manually put in your own ISO? E.g if I wanted to have my portra 800 pushed to 1600 for more grain. This isn’t possible? Great video!
I do not own this particular camera but on many cameras you can do this the same way you would set the ISO for non DX coded film. If this doesn't work you can always put a piece of tape or something over the DX-code of the film cassette, this will make the camera think your film is not DX-coded and let you set ISO manually.
Hey man, I hope you can help me with my question: I bought the Canon Eos 50 and wanted to use it with manual vintage lenses like the Helios 44-2 or Contax Zeiss 50mm 1.7. I adapted those lenses to the EF mount. However, if I attach any of the vintage lenses, the Shutter doesn't work properly. I have to press the trigger a second time so the gate closes. Therefore, it's impossible to properly expose. Electronic lenses work fine. I guess the problem is that the camera can't communicate with the lens. Is that a problem with the EOS 500 as well? On your thumbnail, you use a vintage lens as well, so how do you made it work? Thanks for help!
It's a little bit late, but this only will work in manual mode. You have to select the aperture on the lens and then the shutter speed according to the index of the light meter in the viewfinder until it is in the middle, then you have the right setting and the shutter will fire properly.
At the beginning of the video there's an adapted Olympus lens attached to the camera... How are you able to fire the shutter with it? I tried to adapt a Pentax K and when I use it the camera shuts down when pressing the shutter. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!
Well, the adaptor wasn't connected to the AF system and the camera will fire without a lens attached so it might be the camera is getting an error because it is getting a bad reading off what it thinks is an EF lens. But that is just a guess.
Most lenses will be sharp around F8. But any good ef lens will do the trick. Niffy 50 at f4 and up is very sharp. But it doesn't matter so much for this camera a search for sharp EF lenses will help you.
After loading the camera and turning to P, M or any other option it shows a battery blinking. The battery's are completely new. Does some one know the problem
I guess if you only plan on using the automatic functions... But even then, film cameras usually require a lot of tinkering with settings to get a really great shot, which would be impossible to do in your situation.
This thing is full frame camera with eos ef lense. It is a deal, and have very high quality sensor(flim) if it operate correctly! Do u want full frame camera for 10 dollar. If u can handle flim expense and develop this is freaking deal!
Thank you very much for this video !!! I just bought this camera and your explanations were crystal clear !! All my best ;)
Glad it helped you out!
i just bought my first ever camera, (an EOS 500) and this video was amazingly useful - thank you !!!
I got this thing precisely because of its compatibility with my DSLR lenses and I got tired of carrying duplicate lenses for my grandpa's old AE-1P when I want to shoot film and digital. This thing has been amazing and I shoot film much more often now!
I just bought this camera on eBay. Thank you so much for such a comprehensive and easy to follow guide. :)
Thank you! Best of luck shooting out there!
I found my dads EOS 500 in pretty much new condition. Thanks for that video!
So glad it helped you!

I need to get a film camera! I can not wait for more content on this !
Film is coming back :)
This really helped me with a few things I was struggling with, thanks!
Amazing video! I got this camera and it's quite hard to get a grip on everything without a main display. Much harder than a DSLR. This helped a ton
Glad it helped!

Wow, this video is so good and helpful. Thank you
You're very welcome!

Great video👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. Question, does the Manual mode use Center Weighted metering, instead of 6 Point Evaluative?
Thank you so much for this video
Most welcome 😊
hi! sorry if this is a dumb/silly question, but is this camera compatible with EFS lenses? I have one for my rebel t7 and it would be great if it works between them both
Yes all EF lenses will work on this camera with AF. Limited AF but it works.
@@thefilmcameraclub8141 wonderful! thank you so much for the quick response. i do all my photography in manual anyway so this works out perfectly for me.
I got a gift of this camera, but noticed there is no diopter, do you know if that's adjustable?
What adapter you use for the yashica lens?
So is there any way to manually put in your own ISO? E.g if I wanted to have my portra 800 pushed to 1600 for more grain. This isn’t possible?

Hi, there. May I know, when I press the shutter, the film count maintain the same (36 count). Is it normal?
No something has definilty gone wrong.
At the beginning of the video there's an adapted Olympus lens attached to the camera... How are you able to fire the shutter with it? I tried to adapt a Pentax K and when I use it the camera shuts down when pressing the shutter. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

Do I need discard 1-2 exposures from beggining ?
All of the film rolls to the other side so you have fresh film ready to shoot after it is finnished spooling.
Which lens could I use for that model to get the sharpest photos? I kinda strugglr to find a good one
Most lenses will be sharp around F8. But any good ef lens will do the trick. Niffy 50 at f4 and up is very sharp. But it doesn't matter so much for this camera a search for sharp EF lenses will help you.
does the screen only light up when there is a rol of film inserted?
It should light up when you turn it on and it has batteries
It will only show if it is turned on and there is film in it or the back is popped open.
After loading the camera and turning to P, M or any other option it shows a battery blinking. The battery's are completely new. Does some one know the problem
comment l allumer et l eteindre ?
If the LCD screen weren’t working, but the camera was otherwise in perfect condition, would you suggest buying?
I guess if you only plan on using the automatic functions... But even then, film cameras usually require a lot of tinkering with settings to get a really great shot, which would be impossible to do in your situation.
why do you sound like achilles argyle

i got this camera for $20
They are dirt cheap and if you have canon EF lenses it is perfect!
I paid the same price for both of mine. Paired with Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM. Point & shoot!
Genial pero en inglés.
How do I turn it Off?
Exactly
