Absolute waste of time I wanted to see a video about camera shopping and only a minute of worthless info
thanks for watching
Really glad I found the part of TH-cam where people with a real eye for art and lost magic are posting. I’m sick of the influencer side of YT where the only goal is to gain millions of followers through click bait and gimmicks. It makes me feel sick inside. Videos like this feel like sipping fresh cold water after living on a diet of flat room temp sodas for years.
Yo i feel it the same. This is something what was really missing. In times where everyone is just trying to capture the best BOKEH and cheap video tricks everyone can do after 1 tutorial is so disappointing to me. Like what the fuck? Is this still art or just bunch of people running with cameras doing the same shit in their neighborhood?
I invite you to take a look over here...
I feel the same way. It can be a lot of pressure for others to create the same content as them as it's the only way to get followers instead of listening to their creative intuition and compromising it.
No film centric video is complete without lo-fi hip hop.
Your channel has been a hidden gem for me, finally the TH-cam algorithm showed me an awesome recommendation!
Thank you, and welcome!
Same to me, idk why TH-cam recommend me this video.
But amazing video and pics.
Some stunning shots. The cars and pedestrians with the reflections in the rain came out brilliantly. 👌
Your pictures are seriously beautiful! So amazing! You managed to capture Tokyo in such a beautiful way! It's tearjerking!
Really some amazing & clear photographs of Tokyo. A huge city with such a vibe, restaurants, malls and those eye popping camera stores. Visited once and this video makes me want to visit again. That Pentax medium format SLR is a beast of a camera but what good images. Well done.
Fantastic, I have never seen any stores like this before, totally dedicated to film cameras. Superb, thank you for sharing this.
THE VISUALS OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD!! keep up the good work!!
Omg the video quality is better than my eyes
I haven't even been to Tokyo yet but I've spent so much time preparing for my holiday that I recognize every place you went to 😂
Enjoy! It's my favourite city I've visited.
I love the imagines you’ve taken of this beautiful place 😻I love Tokyo
Super vidéo... Love the vibe and the color editing... !
i was doing exactly the same thing in tokyo not a week ago. so surreal seeing some of the very cameras I picked up on this video! excellent work!
Do you remember the name of any of them?
I was there in september and I felt exactly the same thing.. in tokyo you can find LITERALY everything.. and everything is in absolut perfect condition.. but you pay exactly the same price as everywhere else if not more.
So good! Thank you so much for this. I just left Tokyo and this video is so beautiful
Beautifully made!
The most inspiring video right here
six minutes of wholesomeness
Loved this!
Such great images, specially the estar 100 colors 👌👌
Yoooo, this came out on my birthday!🤜🏼
happy birthday! how many years young?
@@radicaleyemag Turned 25! Really digging your stuff, keep it up👍🏼
The aesthetics are so good
I am always taking pictures with the kodak portra 400 and tmax and seing this video i just fell in love with the style of the ektar 100 so thanks 🙏
Loved my time in Japan, Great photos
Love the shot at 5:42 wow :')
oh man, going there in June, really looking forward to browse, but anxious I'm gonna blow my budget in the first day :D
Thank you for making this, I was there a month ago with basically the same idea I walked around the same places you did, unfortunately my pictures were not as good as I would like and I didn’t do much video either, this makes it up for me :)
OH MY GOSH I WANNA GO TO TOKYO NOW BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO so inspiring so nice 👍🏾
Mitchell Jones Jr. Tokyo is the best city, go there immediately.
Would you mind giving us the song's name please? it's beautiful.

Such a vibe! 😩😩👏🏾
This is soo viby i appreciate this!!! Thank you so much.
Thanks Philip!
Man I was just in Tokyo at the beginning of the month and visited a lot of these same spots. Actually made a video about it too! The store Camera Box is crazy. So much stuff crammed in there, you could dig through stuff for days in there. Dope video tho, hope the whole trip was fun for yall.
Just subscribed !! And i love the videos
greatness.
Excellent video
Love this video !! What is this instrumental playing in the background!?? I need this song
Thank you. It's Piri by Laxcity
Those used camera would be cheaper outskirts of Tokyo, I think.
Amazing👏👏👏
Loved this Jonny, those Mamiya 7’s an d Pentax 67ii’s looked very tempting! Did you add any gear? Great production as always.
Thank you Shaun. Unfortunately not, I couldn't decided!
Dang! The GA645s are under $400!? *Books flight now*
This video was amazing. oh my god! Watching it made me feel i was there. It needs to be longer. The editing and story telling is 12/10.
Nice video. I really want to go to Japan!!
What video camera are you using ? Everything about this video is just perfect
an iphone 7
@@radicaleyemag damnn that is some quality content❤
Japan is amazing!!!!
love your video, may i know which vlog camera r u using? thankyou
an iPhone 7
Nooo why was this so short 😢
Well I’m glad I found this video 🤩I’m a new subscriber
welcome!
I used the opening song in my last video as well!! Sick video guys as well
This is really amazing :')
That’s cool!
Sublime!!!
Really admire these photos. How did you get the exposures so right? Do you use a hand held light meter such as Sekonic? Well done. Those film camera stores are simply amazing...the Mamiya 7 would be my first choice, as I have a Mamiya 645 and it is harder to hold on the go.
What's the camera set up for the intro of this video because looks sooooooooo good
an iPhone 7
@@radicaleyemag wow. I didn't expetc that. The frane in 0:17 looks so beautiful
What is the name of the camera shop in the video?
what's the name of this instrumental?
Piri by Laxcity
did you have flash on when you took pictures or does that really only apply to point and shoot cams?
the Yashica has a built in flash. The medium format stuff was natural light :)
I like that color :3
Where did you visit?
everything under 125/s is affected by the huge mirror slap....Pentax67
Really loving your channel, dude! #bokehbro
What artist is this for Music
this is so beautiful
Can I ask what shops did you visited I'm planing to go to Japan again once covid is done

Is it cheap to develop film in Japan?
What's the font in thumbnail ?
Fucking dope, love how you string the photos to the tempo of the song, where’d you find the song?
2:49 tell me shop name!!

Vossi bop

We were also wondering :,(
I don't think I saw any! RZ67ii and P67 both seem to be too popular
witch font do u use font thumbnail ( for Tokyo japan)
comic sans
@@radicaleyemag ı search the "comic sans" but i can't find this font :(
Do you remember the name of those shops?
all details are in the video description
Hey Jonny, I have a Mamiya 6 MF with all three lenses and am also in London, if you ever want to borrow it for a shoot.
How could I say no! Would love to give one a try!
Sent you an email.
Great stuff. Watching for a second time 'cos my screen brightness was down and your use of music is 👌
Thank you Sevak! feel free to watch a 3rd time 😂
Please tell me the addresses of these wonderful stores in Tokyo
Just wondering if you saw many Super 8 cameras anywhere?
i didn't, but I wasn't really on the look out for them. So might have missed some!
Hi. I would like some wallpapers. I want these photos 😍
im trying to buy a yeshica t5 and after seeing this video im honestly sold but im having a hard time locating any online, I've found loads of yeshiva t4's anyone got any idea on the difference between the two or why im struggling to find any t5's?
I'm afraid I've only used the t5. But I would think the t4 would be quite similar!
Name of the intro please kind sir

Hello radical eye magazine outstanding camera shopping , let's be friends greetings missing videos .
My guy you went Japan to shoot Kodak wth. You should have just used some Fujifilm.
Just dropped our E100 vid, would love if y'all would check it out!
5:50 where's?
Aomi monorail station in Odaiba.
Just outside the VenusFort shopping mall.
@@linkkicksu Thank you
please youtubers, audio level adjustment!!!!! for the love of god!!!!!
SUUUUUUUBBED
pentax for £420?!?!?!
Pentax 6x7, not the 67 though! I didn't find a single 67... Just 6x7, and 67ii.
Very expensive
Nice music, a bit to loud, to soft not loud enough narration, Camera shopping in Tokyo very little of , should of had more.
Army Camera japan Baghdad hhhhhhh
I never seen anyone going to Japan and come back with such low quality of snaps on pro cameras. Very disappointed.
Perhaps portraits are your forte, stick to it because this ain’t
Big difference between music and speech... Video so beautiful ruined by poor sound.
disagree. liked the laid back tunes in this one.
Think ruined is a bit strong lol!
I think you should just pipe down and be grateful you’ve got someone putting the time and effort to share. Wish this was released before visiting a few weeks ago :-/
"camera shopping in Tokyo" -> almost no scenes involving camera shopping.
I think it's camera shooting
You didn't even watched the video he shows the camera shops idiot
Could we get a list of perhaps the best camera shops you would recommend? I'll be in Tokyo this time next year and definitely have my eye on a Contax T2 and perhaps a Pentax 67 :o. Thanks!!
Japan Camera Hunter has a list of some of the well known ones on its website, plus some info on each of them.
The most important thing to know is that some stores sell all or some of their gear on consignment (and so it may not have been tested, or poorly graded and possibly without returns)
This is Contax specialist, and they used to have plenty of T2 a few years back. Never bought from them though, so I've no idea. www.gokurakudo.net/
I don't think I would bother with a T2 these days. Way overpriced.
This store is recommended by Tokyo Camera Style www.mitsubado.com/
If you go to shibuya, there is a store to the left crossing from the station. It is lit up with lights that sell like different technology. It will catch your eye. It should be the third or fourth floor that has a huge inventory of cameras. From new to old and I bring my cameras to test the lens. It reminds me of B&H walking in if you ever been to the one in NY. It is about the same price as the US but since yen is like a 92yen to a $1 on some days for exchange, you could get lucky and save a lot.
I am going back there in three weeks to eat and planning to visit this store and another camera store in Tokyo.
I used Japan Camera Hunter to find places to visit:
- LEMONSHA, SHINJUKU
- MAP CAMERA, SHINJUKU - mix of digital and film
- CHUUKO CAMERA BOX, SHINJUKU - this one, has tons of cameras crammed in to a small store
- SHINJUKU USED CAMERA MARKET, SHINJUKU - wide range, a lot of lenses if i remember correctly
- KITAMURA SHINJUKU DAI-GADO, SHINJUKU
- LEMON, GINZA
- SHIMIZU CAMERA, GINZA - the one in the video that has a huge window display
These were the main ones I visited, but i'd recommend checking out the JCH resource for a better breakdown from someone who seems to have visited all of them: www.japancamerahunter.com/2013/05/the-complete-tokyo-camera-shopping-guide/
@@radicaleyemag For anyone looking for medium format, I would recommend;
Shimbashi ichi [near Ueno]
Nisshin [Akihabara]
Fujiya [Nakano]
Sukiya [Ginza]
MAP [Shinjuku]
Lemon [Ginza]
Camera Alps [Shinjuku]
Shoppers should be aware that Ginza prices are usually at a premium because it's the fancy part of town, and MAP is also at the higher end price wise. MAP's website is pretty easy to use for an idea on prices and stock, and most items have a returns policy. MAP is also hassle free because they speak good English. Some of the other stores can be hit and miss with which staff speak English. Places like Lemon are consignment stores and won't accept returns, so it's important to check things carefully and not assume the price or condition stated reflects what you're buying.
I doubt anyone is going to find much of a bargain in central Tokyo [buying film gear], although there's generally a better selection and better condition, including super rare stuff compared to most countries, I guess. I certainly wouldn't buy anything from 'Film Camera Tokyo' in Harajuku because their prices on instagram seem ridiculously high, but they seem to have stacks of Contax T2 or T3 and other premium compacts.
For those who can choose the time of year to visit Tokyo, there is also a camera fair held usually three times a year, by ICS, and they also have a fair at CP+ in Yokohama. Prices aren't necessarily lower, but there will be tons of gear from a lot of the camera stores all in one place.
