- In this video I list 5 classic film cameras I will never part with.
The cameras cover a span of 35 years of photographic history, from 1966 to 2001. Cameras include SLRs, a rangefinder, and point and shoots.
For each camera I describe its features, why I love it, I'll tell you a fun fact about it, and I'll show you 5 of my favourite images taken with it.
Thanks to the following film photography bloggers for the inspo, make sure you check them out!

Awesome video Matt.
Thanks Charles! 😄
Great choices and I love your take on the growing list of Five Cameras posts!
Thank you sir! Love your choices, especially the rollei and the canon! Thanks for the inspo!
Pen FT and the Polaroid SLR 680. Great choices
Yes! Classics 🥇 thanks for watching!
oh yes Minolta TC1 :) absolutely amazing! got one for barging couple of years ago in box almost unused
Wow great score Alex! TC-1 is one of the few cameras that’s lived up to the hype for me. Would love a black one!
Great choices Matt! The Minolta TC-1 is amazing. It was my first ever film camera. It's created the most painting like photos. I really want the black one!
Thanks Gab! Yeah the black TC-1 is beautiful! Mine is slowly getting a bit worn now as you can probably see in the footage. I’d be tempted to splash out and buy a mint black TC-1 as a special gift to myself should the opportunity ever arise 😂
@@MattLovesCameras Definitely should! They're gorgeous.
Great vid Matt!! 🎉Love all your choices! I really love shooting with the Polaroid SLR680 but I recently picked up the HassyPB Polaroid back for my Hasselblad 500cm - and I love it!
My top 5: Nikon L35AF, Contax T2, Leica M7, Ricoh GR1 & Nikon F3
Thanks Coco! Oh wow yeah that Hassy set up sounds good! A mate of mine just got an M7 and can’t speak highly enough of it!
And the Ricoh Contax Nikon options are solid too!
Please.
Something like a Contax T3, as well as the other Contax T-series cameras, are like ticking time bombs. At _any_ moment they can die. And since there are no more electronic parts available any longer they can only occasionally be 'repaired' by replacing parts from a donor camera. Extremely high-risk to buy something like a T2 or T3 at those crazy high prices, unless you're a billionaire like Kendall Jenner. ha
Besides, pretty much any inexpensive film SLR with a OEM lens can take the same or more often than not _better_ photos at a much lower price. 35mm film and gear just isn't all that high resolution compared to modern digital so it's much more forgiving. No need to spend thousands on 35mm film equipment to get good/great results.
I think you misread the title of the video friend, this is 5 film cameras I can’t live without, not recommendations for anyone else, and not how to shoot film economically.
Yes modern cameras can die any moment, but so can any of us. Enjoy life, shoot film. Thanks for watching 😊🙏
Pen FT is the king
Sure is ha ha 👑
Sweet list.
My own 5 film cameras, I'll never let go are:
Canon EOS 300 + 40mm f2.8 pancake lens, Minolta Hi-Matic 7S, Leica IIIb + Summitar 50mm f2 lens, Olympus XA, Carl Zeiss Jena Werra 1 and Leica M5 + Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.1 lens.
Not an easy list to make, because I had to leave out so many great cameras...
Great list NP! Eos cameras are so good and I love the hi matic and XA. Never used a Leica, must use one someday! Thanks for watching ☺️
Thanks for the video. Hello from the US. -Clayton Sharp
Thanks Clayton! Hope you are well my man
Enjoyed seeing your photos and to hear about some of your favorite cameras!! Great video!!
Thanks so much Kary, appreciate it! 😁🙏
14:50 Is my all-time favorite image of the work you've shared.
Ah thank you my friend! This was the view when we got out of the lift at our apartment hotel in Tokyo. Not what I was expecting but I ended up loving it! 🚗
Lovely shots Matt, as always!
Thanks so much Christina! ☺️
