- After having this camera for about 3-4 years, I decided to finally do an in- depth review about the Olympus AF-1. This camera has been with me since the very beginning of my film journey and will probably be until the end! If you have any questions about this camera, please comment down below or DM @jubilee.film
Thank you so much for watching! Happy Shooting!!

Nice video 🙂 I got the Olympus AF-1 as a gift a few weeks ago. Shot a film, but lost it on the way to the drug store... well, bad luck.
You mentioned the "Focus lock"-button. This is a button like the half-press on the shutter button of other autofocus-cameras. On the AF-1 first you focus as normal (middle-patch on the viewfinder). Then you press "Focus lock". Now click the shutter-button. The shutter will not fire, but the focus will stay where it was set. Now you can compose your photo. After that release the "Focus Lock"-button. The shutter will click and make the photo. Your subject is in focus, even if it wasn't in the middle when the shutter clicked. Like the "half-press - compose - full press" on other cameras 🙂
dude thank you so much!! i’m going to try this out!!
most underrated film channel. you deserve more subs, homie. keep killing it.
Bro thank you so much!!! Trying to be consistent this up coming year!
For the focus lock, just press and hold the focus lock button. Then aim your box at the place you want to focus on and half press the shutter button and hold it. Now reframe your shot the way you want the final image to look like, and release the focus lock button. The camera should fire.
thank you so much man!!
I just got one of these today in mint condition for £40 I love it! Thanks for your review.
Hell yea!!! Hope you have the best time shooting with it!
this video convinced me. thanks friend
Glad I could help
Awesome video just got mine
bro yes!!! love to hear it
Hello
Can you show us how you edit your pictures from Olympus AF 1? (basically taking the negatives and converting it and then editing part)
It will be really helpful
Thanks
I send all my film to The Darkroom Lab to get developed and scanned. From there I just edit in Lightroom for exposure,contrast and maybe color
underrated
fr!! this camera is sick asl!!
Great episode😎 Whats your favorite color film to use with that camera?
thanks man!! i personally love Kodak Gold or Fuji Xtra with this camera but only bc it’s cheaper film ahaha
i did like portra when i shot a roll through it once
@@jubileesantosfilm Its nice to see u like this camera after this amount of time. PS: I bought this camera after seeing your video about it from 2019 🔥
@@reins3715 that’s crazy!! i’m glad that video encouraged you to buy it. have you’ve been diggin the camera?
@Jubilee Santos, what film do u use for the sample photos in this video?
It's a mixture of different film but I usually shoot Kodak Gold 200 when I use this camera!
Twerk
I’ve got one of these in mint condition in my camera cabinet. If you like this camera, you might want to check out the Af-1 Twin. Better image quality especially with the zoom lens and you have the ability to switch between two different lenses. Plus you can turn off the flash.
thanks for the recommendation!! I didn’t know that about the AF-1 Twin
this was a great video! i'm tempted to buy this camera now ahah, but would love to see how you took off the plastic part of the lens! subbed!
thank you so much for the sub!!! and i’m gonna make a video about that soon!!
@@jubileesantosfilm did you make that video?
@@iamjewishjordan i did!! you can check my channel for it. it should be the video right after this one
Anyone else keep accidentally having their finger ruining their photos on this camera because its so awkward to hold?
I definitely did that on my first couple of rolls but you learn how to hold it the more you shoot it
Olympus SPONSOR THIS MAN
I got myself an olypums af1 super (means I can turn off the flash) 5 days ago and got myself films and cant wait to test it out. Only costed me 8€ with a bag included, so a real great deal
Such a great deal man!! Happy shooting!
I’m thinking about it! Thanks for your insight! Found one on eBay for $50 + $30 shipping 😭
They've gotten so pricey over the years :( but it's a great investment if you're looking to get into film and having something that shoots great photos!
Twerk
Are you ever going to make a video on how to remove the plastic? 😭
I was just about to comment the same thingggg 😭
YES LOL
I'm high key bad at TH-cam and posting but I will get the video out! I know alot of you guys have been asking!
@@jubileesantosfilm please!!
6:27 👀
I've only been able to find it on ebay for aroun $70 + $20 shipping from Japan. Worth it?
that really depends on your budget! when i bought it, it was $40 like i said, but if you think it's worth it I'd say buy it! it really is a great camera and i would always recommend it to anyone
@@jubileesantosfilmThanks! I actually did end up getting it because of this video and I’m shooting my first roll right now :)
@@anarionpiano YEEEEEERRR! Happy shooting with the best point and shoot!!
Nice video 🙏🏼 Is there a video of you taking off the plastic part of the lens?
Yea!!! I just shot it and I have to edit it so be on the lookout for it!
Love your photos and thanks for the review because it's hard to find one! Probably gonna get this one. Keep it up :)
thank you so much man!!
4:32 , tell me how
going to make a video about this soon!!
@@jubileesantosfilm eagerly waiting!
@@jeanias95 expect the video to come out sometime today!!
Great walkthrough and thank you so much! So this seems like the perfect camera for a night out? Would you recommend this or the ax2 with that flash attached since it's slightly smaller and more versatile so to speak?
Thank you so much! And I would say it's one of the best for a night out. You don't have to worry if you're in focus or if the flash is on with the AF-1. It really depends on what you need out of a point a shoot. The XA2 is great but you do need to zone focus for your shots while the AF-1 you just shoot. IMO the Olympus AF-1 is the better of the 2 only because I can use it without thinking🤷🏽♂️ You can't go wrong with either though! I'm just a big advocate for the AF-1 lol
@@jubileesantosfilm no thank you!!! Baby just arrived today and looks great!!!!!!!!
@@VoodooLBC love to hear it!!! happy shooting man!
This one versus xa ? Any thoughts about those two ?
Hey man!! i’ve never used the XA before but i know that it’s like a hybrid between point and shoot and a range finder. you don’t have to mess with the setting but you have to mess with the focus on the xa. both are great cameras though, it just depends on what fits best for your style of shooting!!
what's the difference between the infinity and the af-1 quartz date???
i’m not entirely sure but i think it’s just the year the camera came out!!
The Infinity was the U.S. name for the AF-1, and it doesn’t have a date back. I’ve read it was sold exclusively by QVC, but not sure if that’s true.
@@terryleephotographer this makes much more since than my answer ahaha
Lowkey
What film rolls did you use for the pictures on this video please
ummm, it's a mixture of a bunch of film stocks!! i think i used Kodak gold 200, Kodak Portra 400, and Kodak ultramax 400. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the shots were with cinestill 800t and fuji xtra 400 as well since i have shot them through this camera. I hope this helps man!!
Just won an ebay bid, paid 51aud for it, super excited to test this thing out as my first film camera. Absolutely awesome how cheap i got it for considering how much they're going for nowadays.
Dude wth thats a steal!! Happy for you my man!
