Obviously, these how-to videos are not meant for the mainstream viewers, but for those who either HAVE a specific camera or are interested in one. For that reason I tip my hat to you Nico....this is the kind of site that needs to be the example and not the exception. I hope most people will give these videos a thumbs up even if they are not interested in the camera in question....one of these days it might be THE camera you want to know about.....THEN you will be glad Nico provides these videos. THANKS NICO-YOU ROCK!!!!!!
Thanks Dave! That is the intention, to help future users.
Great little how to...thank you
4:52 Good for glasses also because the viewfinder magnification is only 0.60x, allowing people with glasses to see 28mm frame lines. That's the main reason I bought this camera.
When this camera first came out there was a story going around that Konica sent a representative
to Leica in Germany with the Hexar RF. I can't recall if they were Leica Camera or still E. Leitz Wetzlar.
The rep was promptly shown the door. I don't know how true this is but it makes for a good story.
It would probably be the case, nobody likes competition.
Maybe he didnt see the 'No Photography' sign at the security checkpoint.
Great video. Would love to see inside the viewfinder next time!
Glad to see you back Nico. We've missed you. Everything ok?
All has been good. Took a much needed break to enjoy the summer, the kids and some down time. Now back at it.
Manual focus RF that does 2,5 fps? Would be fun to try out in a chaotic street setting.
Its a pretty fun camera.
i am useing a 40mm lens on my hexar rf, what is better to look at, the 35mm frame or the 50mm frame? greets BM
I owned plenty Leica M ( 45 years of shooting Leica ) then my friend want me to try this Konica Hexar RF , it’s different but it’s very good , much better than I thought. More practical than Leica , faster loading and unloading , very accurate light meter. Lighter weight , fantastic optical viewfinder and Shutter sound very quiet much quieter than Leica . If you are shooting for wedding then this camera better than Leica because of less chance to miss . Technically more advance than your Leica M but still give you the feel of shooting Leica .
flexing with the limited edition :D Such a beautiful camera. How are reliability and repairability?
Its a picky one, as its electronics and not many people probably can service it properly.
Hi Nico, I just got one of these cameras and it doesnt trigger my rollei 121bc flash. does it not work with high voltage (150v) flashes?
Forgot this channel even existed…Has the analog spotlight contract been fulfilled?
Not over yet, just taking a needed break from the interwebs. But back at it!
anyone know a good way to fix the little tooth that grabs the sprockets if it breaks?
Not an easy task, try Foto Servis in Poland or PPP in the UK.
Is it just me that thought there were DX coding contacts in the film canister loading side? That confused me a bit. Usually you try and set the ISO right before you load the film. Made that mistake before. If those weren’t DX coding contacts then what were they? Zoomed in but couldn’t tell.
There is a DX option on the ISO selector, if I remember the videos I’ve binged over the past two days correctly… I really want one of these little beasts.
@andykphoto I just got mine today and there is a DX option on the iso dial!
Hi, i found a beautiful one, without lens, so i had to buy one and wait, when i get the lens i put in a film. but the film needs often three or more times for corretly wounding. i had to try and open the back and correct the film again and again. that is not funny.. 😕 i don't know why there are no kinda " teeth" to catch the film, just on tiny tooth....my old nikon has lots of them for winding correctly...... greets BM
Nico the internet experts say these cameras are not reliable. What does Kamera store see as a percentage of good to bad? Is it risky to buy one? Searching for a Leica alternative.
Had mine for 7 years already. It is still chugging along. Only issue is that the right line for the 28mm frame lines kind of disappeared. But other than that it’s all good.
Having said that, I am still cautious of electronic cameras hence a manual Leica is in the cards.
Well, depends on the "experts" you refer to. I have one over 10 years and it is still working without a flaw.
Of course, if somethings electronic breaks, there will be some trouble to get it done or find a replacement. But same with my digital fully electronic cameras: Having spare parts a few models back is not confirmed nowadays by the vendors.
Are they all doomed to fail?
Nico can you make these videos for normal people, instead of "how use wide angle attachment on leica m6 royal Danish wedding edition" maybe like a minolta SR series or pentax spotmatic
His next video is on how to shoot double exposures on Fuji pro 400H with an original black paint Leica M3 serial no. 0001, queen edition. 🥴😉
I can do the video for any cameras, just let me know which ones are needed. Im happy to help if I can.
Just picked up this baddy
WhooHoo! The one he demoed in the video?!?! Cool!
@@michaeldimmitt2188 yes, shot 30 rolls through it! Don't have it anymore though not because I disliked it I loved it!
@@finn4240why did you get rid of it? I’m torn between this and a CLE
@@Nedumgottil the rangefinder needed to be adjusted but sadly in my local area barley anyone services konica. So j ended up having to send it away for almost 4-5 months just for something silly like that.
I ended up returning it with 100% cashback and buying a hexar AF until I could afford a M7
. About your dillema i'd say if you prefer a solid well build sturdy camera. And not just only shoot street get the RF but if you only / almost mostly shoot travel en street get the cle
not tutorial..... just a hard FLEX, and the stuff around it r all way more expensive than the RF
Its not my gear, so its just to help people who might want an Hexar or need to learn how it works.
You mean cross threading which is not something you want to do.
Yes, I always miss proper vocabulary, but being spanish some terms dont come easy when shooting.
