From someone who works in a camera store that sells these, I'd warn anyone to steer clear from these particular reusables. I've probably sold a hundred of these. The Agfa shown in this video, as well as the Ilford Sprite, Harman reusable and Kodak M35 are all the same model with a different front and all have the same problems with wind-up wearing down quickly, shutter breaking and the flash electronics frying. Our RMA is near 100%, and the manufacturer knows this, but of course they are dirt cheap to stock and pretty much any stores that sell these are still earning money from film sale and development so they won't be taken off the shelves anytime soon. Put your money towards a used late 90's point-and-shoot if you want something that will last you more than 3 films. If you can't find that in your area and absolutely need a new reusable, the Lomography models that come loaded with film are in my experience a lot more reliable, but they look less fancy and you have the added step of rolling out your film before shooting, which makes loading a bit more complicated for beginners.
Yeah I bought one and the flash stopped working after like the 3rd picture. I’m just really disappointed and scared about how the pictures will look now
I just bought the Ilford Sprite myself and was curious on how 200 film stock would look on it & the Agfa. I'm genuinely surprised by the photos you took, they look lovely! Thanks for a great view :)
This video got suggested to me. And it's just what I needed. Thank you! I can't wait to get started. I really want to document my travels in a more unique way and film cameras are the best way to do it, if you ask me.
Appreciate the video. Although the Agfa camera looks like a simple rebrand when compared with the Ilford Sprite, I have to say that from what I've seen, it looks like the Agfa camera is more attractive. It's still a plastic camera, but I like that it has information on the lens as a glass lens would and the silver has a nice metallic gloss rather than the off-white, very plastic look of the Ilford. All things considered, if the price was the same I think I would go with the Agfa for that reason.
I got one as a present and I dont' have a lot of opportunities to purchase film (very difficult to find where i am) so i wanted to say thanks for all the advice to help me not waste precious film !!
I just recently purchased the Ilford 35mm camera and I added some Ilford b+w ISO125 36 Exp for my trip to back from the west coast though I am still awaiting the development.
Love the video! Since these are analogue photos, how do you upload them so cleanly on digital to then show on your TH-cam video? Do you take a picture with your phone or do you maybe use a sort of scanner? Thanks!
can you get a harman ez-35 35mm film Camera with Automatic load, frame advance and rewind and review it it is my favourite Camera and would love to see you do a video on it
@@saketnaik1 the film cameras i own: yashica electro 35, yashica t2, olympus trip xb af 44, konica zup 120, Pentax PC-330. the t2 is my "prized" possession but it's a bit bulky and loud. i ordered an olympus xa-2 but it was a dud. was really looking forward to that. i really want a mju. if i'm being really honest, my favorite photos have been either from disposable cameras or the electro 35.

@@hurryupnbuy how much did you spend for your cameras and where did you get them from?
I recently used a disposable camera and I used flash for every picture and they came out amazing, even when it’s light outside, flash makes the picture look really good
It's great to see reusable 35mm cameras on sale, but they aren't very good. F9 in 2022? That was a poor spec pre 1939! Buy a refurbished Olympus Trip or similar instead.
Do you have a video on film? I bought an AGFA Silette LK sensor on the flea market and I have no idea what film to buy. I'm a total beginner with (film) cameras :) Some tips would be great!
Ive taken so many pictures and now it says S !! Why is it saying this? Have i not loaded the film properly and now lost everything?? Pls someone help thank you
I bought this camera and used fujifilm 200 color and nearly all my photos came out as a blank yellow image or extremely yellow-tinted regardless of the time of day or if the flash was used. Any theories as to why this happened?
$50 is ludicrous for a fixed focus, zero modes, plastic lens.... I'm happy that there is a new film camera, but for a camera like this I'd get the same thing for a tenner.
Addition: what I just found out is that there are no films with iso 1600 to buy. But there are still iso 3200 films for extremely low light conditions. Also, you could overexpose films with lower iso to get nice pictures.
Hey! It happened to me too at first! But then i realised that the flash button or lever might not be pushed enough. And also make sure to not take photo right after opening the flash, need to wait around 10-15sec before pressing the shutter button.
I haven’t had that issue yet, but no doubt a few awesome people have gotten back to you on this! I’d just suggest make sure there are fresh batteries in the body and that the notch is properly switched to on :)
Had to return mine because the aperture was super floppy. The chinese knockoff version of this camera is even worse quality. it doesnt even have a changing aperture + the flash button works backwards.
If someone wants to try film, there are way much better options than all these hipster craps. For example, you could get a real camera from the 50s (probably for less money) and hold and use something decend and fun. Not to mention that the 50s camera will outdate you and your urge for analog 🤣
Honestly still can’t believe you’re only at 1k subs. Congrats and defo deserving of so much more! ✨
hahaha as long as y'all watching are enjoying, that's what matters! Thanks fo the support :)
The Agfa can be had for $25 American. That’s a far cry from $1000

@Starry Night From my experience I'd say somewhere between one and five films.
Any insight on the new Kodak Ultra F9?
Which one do you recommend then? I just want camera to take photos of my family that I can stick in a book

I heard there was one film photographer that did not use low fi hip hop in the videos and he became a holy spirit
A miracle for sure haha
This is literally just the video I needed! I've watchd so many and didn't know where to start so big thank you!!

35 mm film makes super nice color on photo
Congrats on the 1k Subs my guy! Killing it 🚀
Still owed 1 neck slap! Thanks Queen x
A lot of reviews complain about film jams 😰 I’m glad it’s working out for you tho, I saved this on Amazon and will def try one
No issues yet! Awesome setup for the price :)
I used to live in Perth this video was great and nostalgic
Ahhh so happy to hear brother!
I got one as a present and I dont' have a lot of opportunities to purchase film (very difficult to find where i am) so i wanted to say thanks for all the advice to help me not waste precious film !!
I was looking for inspiration and found your channel, beautiful photos my dude 👏
So glad mate!
very good!! Did you use flash in the beach photos? do you really only use it in portrait?
loved the video Matty! great to see other aussies/kiwis that are shooting film and making youtube videos ;)
Thanks so much! I'll be sure to keep it up!
What an informative and entertaining video!!! You managed to get information across while keeping it so interesting 👏
Thank you so much! That’s so kind :)

Actually some of those cameras have two apertures, by changing to flash you get f16 or close to that. Cheers 👍
Thanks for the info!
Hi! Those photos are amazing ! How many did you take with that camera? I would like to know how long this camera lasts !
Sunny days are your friend with these!
If you had to choose between the Agfa and the ilford sprite, what would be your tendency and where do you see the main difference. Great review!
Afaik they are the same thing, just different brand written on it.

Thanks for this Video!! Which film did you use during this video? :)

which film is better to use in this camera? can anyone help me with the right film to use with this camera, please?
Hey!!! What camera do you use to film?? I’d love to know. Thank you for your awesome content.
Great and informative good job 🥰
Thanks so much bud!
I wouldn’t say it’s a cheap camera considering you can but many vintage film cameras for much less than that price.
What camera/s do you recommend?
Yeah u got any recs?
@@saketnaik1 the film cameras i own: yashica electro 35, yashica t2, olympus trip xb af 44, konica zup 120, Pentax PC-330.

@@hurryupnbuy how much did you spend for your cameras and where did you get them from?
@nvtiveson I've used both Fujifilm and Kodak brand disposables with good results.
is this a half frame camera?
Perfect for a ten-year-old's Xmas stocking.
Totally agree!
do you use flash for every photo? even when there is light and at all? please answer me
I recently used a disposable camera and I used flash for every picture and they came out amazing, even when it’s light outside, flash makes the picture look really good
This camera is honestly really nice, I just wish there was a zoom on it…also my flash is kinda broke I don’t know why lol
Can I take vintage videos for youtube with this camera?
Hey,
I want to buy the same camera, but i wondering how to get the photos on a PC ?
Do i need to buy something else to do that ?
Thanks :)
Nice photos!
Thanks legend! Appreciate it :)
What film did you use? Sorry if I missed it:)
Thank you so much!
What film did you use? Thank you 🙂
Agfa Photo vs kodak Ektar H35, wich one you think its better??
Love it I'll buy :)))
What films do you recommend on this camera?
Which film did you use?
Hey are you from Perth? I recognise that beach and some of the places in the background
which film did you use for this photos?
Hey Arianna! I used Kodak Colorplus 200 :) Hope that helps!
Good Luck man
Which film roll did you use for these picsc
Hey! I just used basic Kodak Colorplus 200 :) I think it worked great for these!
what kind of film roll did you use?
Hi! Can you send me the link of the film that you used for these photos?
It's great to see reusable 35mm cameras on sale, but they aren't very good. F9 in 2022? That was a poor spec pre 1939! Buy a refurbished Olympus Trip or similar instead.

Could you recommend me a 35mm cheaper color film? I went on amazon and im so lost
hi j have a question if there a film that can has to be used in dark palaces because my flash is suoer bright and j want to go to a party
How do you transfer the photos to your phone ?
what film do you use??
Ive taken so many pictures and now it says S !! Why is it saying this? Have i not loaded the film properly and now lost everything??
Pls someone help thank you
What roll are you using??
what film is the afga?
Which kodak film did u mention?
Can you get 72 frames from 36 frames in this camera?
Nope because it ain't a half frame camera. Try Kodak Ektar H35
I have one question: if I take a picture, do I have to put it in the computer or does it come out of the camera?
You have to connect your **** to the camera to download the photos
Do i always have to use flash with this camera, indoors and outdoors?
Also want to know if I need flash outside and when
hi just wanna ask what to do if accidentally press the reset button? can still use the film roll or no .
how I get this camera and film
could you get the pictures prossesed at a printing shop
Do you use light meter with thes camera
naw, i have the ilford sprite 35 ii (same thing basically) and you cant change shutter speed, aperature, etc, so theres no reason to measure
Na I don’t my man! Exact reason given here as well :) it’s just a fun point and shoot so I just shoot and expose my best with this one!
I bought this camera and used fujifilm 200 color and nearly all my photos came out as a blank yellow image or extremely yellow-tinted regardless of the time of day or if the flash was used. Any theories as to why this happened?
Hmmm sounds like possibly an issue with the actual development of your shots! Did you take it somewhere you trust? Maybe get in contact with them!
how old was the film?
What about a night photo with city lights?
$50 is ludicrous for a fixed focus, zero modes, plastic lens.... I'm happy that there is a new film camera, but for a camera like this I'd get the same thing for a tenner.
what do you do with the film once you taken the photo
develop it
is kodak colorplus 200 good for photos at night?
200 ISO seems a bit too low. At night with little light you should use 400, 800 or 1600 ISO.
Addition: what I just found out is that there are no films with iso 1600 to buy. But there are still iso 3200 films for extremely low light conditions. Also, you could overexpose films with lower iso to get nice pictures.
how’d you upload the photos? are they printable ? or can you digitally download them
You go to a photo labor and they digitalize the roll for you
The way you praised it for not being disposable as if that was the default infuriates me a little. Otherwise amazing video!
Fixed F9 ? :OOOOOOO omg
$75 for the AGFA?
Yaa in Australia!
how can u transfer em to ur phone tho?
u ask to digitalize them when developing them
Hey just wondering I used the flash light and leave the light on the next day I try to turn on the flash light it’s not working
I have the same problem with mine, the flash worked 3 times at the beginning but then it stopped working :((
Hey! It happened to me too at first! But then i realised that the flash button or lever might not be pushed enough. And also make sure to not take photo right after opening the flash, need to wait around 10-15sec before pressing the shutter button.

its not similar is the exact same camera with just different brand printed on it
Us Aussies getting dealt a different brand somehow! Haha

Abandon the awful muzak.
The photos qualities are ehh
All your gestures are completely pointless. Sit on your hands when you speak.
how do you digitize your film?
when you get it developed asked for a CD with your prints
Go to London drugs if you have one or somewhere with a photo center
How do you transfer your photos to digital?
Same question
Use a scanner connected to your PC, then save the pictures in your gallery and you will find in your phone if they are synchronized
What type of battery does this camera use?
normal AAA
