Always great content but consistently the absolute best music bed in the business.
Dude, it's impossible not to watch your videos with a big smile on my face. Great, so great.
Those were some really nice photos you took. Really interesting to see you move through the crowd, and especially when you had to squat down I’m impressed how you managed to get your composition, take the photo and move on. Really quick.
I've got a G2. I agree that the advance lever is soooo satisfying. It just feels great. The camera doesn't really do anything my Olympus Trip 35 doesn't, but I find it nice to use and so I've kept hold of mine.
as always, amazing how many keepers you get with just one roll of film!
I don't comment often on YT but yours has become my favorite photography channel and I really look forward to your stuff. I don't do street photography but you make me wish it was an Olympic sport.
I picked up the Hi-Matic AF2 a while back not knowing anything about it and I love it. It's light, has a bright viewfinder and a lens that is as sharp as I'd ever need it to be. Of course it's a point and shoot but the price/quality ratio is really good. That goes for Minolta cameras in general in my experience. Some of their most popular models have that brutalist 80s design that uses a lot of plastic and is kind of off-putting if you're not turned on to it, but what isn't evident until you have one in your hands is that the cameras are really solid and actually use metal in places where it's needed.
Making my day once any ed!
Your speed and precision is crazy.
Oh my! Every picture you took made me smile :) So awesome that every shot counts and you take them so effortlessly!
Eduardo filmed the last half of the video after a hard day of selling newspaper to chimney sweeps for a halfpenny each
Oh boy what a hansper! I sure hope I did not faunchle on Mrs Daisy's chimney!
I love the coolness of these little compacts before the overly plastic and cheap ones from the mid-late 80's. I picked up a Ricoh 500RF, which is mechanically identical to the Ricoh 500g but is cheaper made, and looks almost identical to the Hi-Matic G2, like many of the 70's compact rangefinders. It only cost me £18 on eBay, it was like it had never been used. Except for the disintegrated light seals which I replaced. It can be used mechanically (full manual), or with a battery that allows you to have a light meter and automatic aperture. I think it's made of a combination of metal and plastic, but it strong enough for me to not worry about it.
It's a full frame pocket sized film camera with a good lens and bonus features if you need it. What more could you want from a compact? :)
Fantastic pictures. I love the colours and tone of that film. Going to have to try some.
Eduardo, me gustó mucho tu video, yo me crié en un Barrio de Santiago Centro donde se Realiza el Carnaval Más antiguo de Santiago, y todos los años yo participaba del carnaval desde los 6 años y mi papá tomaba fotos del carnaval, fue casi como estar ahí con mi viejo que ya no está con nosotros, gracias!
PD: Tremendas Fotos
Llegue a tu canal por un review de una Zenit, de ahí agarre vuelo y la verdad he visto casi todos los videos. Nunca escribo comentarios, pero de verdad que tu contenido es la raja. Saludos desde Valpo.
i rewatch all ur videos while im scanning. thanks for all the amazing content and nurturing my love for photography. its you, and george of negativefb who've taught me just about everything i know.
Lovin' the jazz percussion.
This video is now nearly two years old, has 25872 views, 69 (+1) positive comments, 803 (+1) likes, and zero dislikes. This is an excellent channel.
I just want to say -> THANK YOU , thank you for all your videos! I think i watched all of them, and they are amazing. Your Chanel really made me feel "i have to go out and shoot some film". Take care and go on! Cheers from Berlin
Many beautiful photographs, great episode!
I love street photography so much! I wish my area is near a busy street but living in a suburb is sad because there's no people outside.
Awesome. How easy everything looks in your hands! Great moments. ... I bought two analog cameras because of your channel - i love it! - and I went on vacation with two: zenit e + zenit em, and they were as heavy as a tank. :)))) I hope that pics are gonna turn OK. You rock!
I'm interested in what books you read, haha. Every time. Could you share some of your insights from books you read recently? Probably in the video too. Thank you for making videos.
great video I have a GAF memo wich is similar to the Hi-matic and totally agree this class of camers are realy fun for holidays snaps.
It would be awesome to see you shoot film at Hastings/Lewes bonfire night. The celebrations down there are pretty crazy.
nice as always, your reviews are great! i have the hi-matic e, with only a program-mode but with an incredibly sharp lens. a great little camera.
Perfect video as usual! Thumbs up Ed!
Great pix. I really like this camera. Havent used mine since the plastic wind lever broke. 😞
Thanks for all your hard work. Keep it up!
Another great video, love how quickly you got to the shooting in this one, no faffing about! Keep up the good work man :--)
Hi Edouardo , forts i am a big fan your review are amazing and all your video too so thanks a lot .
And second are you try soon a demi-format like the olympus pen eed or the Canon demi en 17 ? Thanks a lot Dude and keep shooting 😁👏🏼👍🏼
*looks directly at lens that says 2.8* "I think this might be an f/2 lens but I'm not sure, I read it on the internet but I don't remember" 😛 (genuinely love your videos anyway, including this one, at least when you're out shooting!)
Just ordered a HI matic G I wonder if that is made of plastic. Waiting for it to arrive
Hi Ed! Watched some videos tonight. Always great photos. 1 episode's photos = 1 zine's issue.
Video was great. Ultramax 400 not so much. I think it's my least favorite color film stock. Superia 400 seems a bit better and costs less. Thoughts? 💭
Me encantan tus videos, muy entretenidos y informativos. Me encantaría verte usar una Olympus Pen FT.
Second, I guess!
So many great shots, Eduardo! Keep em comin
Hola. Oye, acabo de comprar esta camara y no conozco nada de ella, se la compre a un vecino que estaba haciendo su mudanza y por eso la compre a ciegas, estéticamente esta 10/10 pero me gustaría usarla sin baterías. ¿ Tu crees que funcione ? Te agradecería por cualquier información. Un saludo
Hey, you have probably heard this question hundreds of times, but I still want to know, what is your absolute recommendation for someone looking into film photography? (What camera would you recommend for a newcomer to film street photography that's on a budget?)
Anyways, I love your videos and you have really sparked my interest in photography. Can't wait to see more!
Mark Kennedy
Hi Mark, I know you were probably looking for Ed's input here but I just wanted to recommend the Canonet Ql17 Giii. Theyre cheap, durable, and have a high quality lens. The best part is if your battery dies they still shoot manually. Best of luck!
Wow thank you so much! I will keep an eye out for one!
I got this baby for 5 euros and I love it. It's not very clean, I will clean it as soon as possible but the feeling and the shot that I got are super cool
An uncommon viewfinder/guess focus camera, the G2 is very handy.
¡Muy buen video!
Cada video siento que aprendo un poco de como tomar fotos en la calle.
De casualidad hace poco conseguí una Hi-matic S7ii. Es una telemétrica y solo tiene modo automático en prioridad de velocidad de obturación. Me parece que es un poco más cercano a lo que esperabas con esta cámara.
so many great shots! (the one at 2:31 is my favorite)
Mine too. Many things happening at once. :D
Hi Eduardo, do you meter the Ultramax film at box speed?
Big fan of your videos, thank you!!!
Its a nice Camera, but I prefere the Yashica 35-ME. Its the same in Metal and the Lense is really great!
Great side-eye at 4:05
muy bueno Ed gracias
Eduardo, puedo preguntar qué bolsa traes?
Hi , Eduardi very well made camera review , cano you make review of Penatacon Six ,this is very chep way to go on 120mm film and they have beautyfull Zeiss lens
Newbie question - if there was no battery in the camera, how could the pictures come out on auto settings?
it does have a small battery in it
Always Great. How about hi-matic 11?
Hi im a newbie so can you help me explain the difference between minolta hi matic g2 and minolta hi matic s2? Would be great if you do thank you. Cause i wanna buy one of them and i dont know which one to go for.
Hey I am new! How do I see my pictures after ive taken them??? Appreciate the help
all the result u had can get by setting auto for aperture n shutter speed ?
just wanted to say hi, Ed :)
Hello! :D
I'm sure Eduardo that the older Minolta Hi-Matics are made of metal bodies from the 60s or 70s.
Please do the contax G2. please!
How tall are you? I can never compose shots like yours without destroying my back
Hello evryone,
Collector of small-scale film camera,
I currently have in my possession a canonQl17, minolta srT101b, fujica801, nikon Em (I love its compactness).
I love the grip and look of the metal cases of the 70s 80s.
And I'm looking for a non-plastic auto focus reflex (90's).
My wife loves these devices, but she hates doing manual focus.
A little lost I do not know where to turn, would you have an idea.
Thank you for your helping hand.
Guillaume a french
this is awesomeeeee
please tell me u didn't edit any of those pictures!
Hellooo does this guy have a selftimer?
does this camera have a built-in flash?
When you spend most of the time praising the advance lever = damning with faint praise! :) Can you do the fuji gs645s affordble medium format rangefinder
yeah, I just edited it poorly. should have talked about it at the end, when I compared the two cameras, and not at the beginning and again at the end. my bad. :(
Can you do the Mamiya 135ee? Love your channel
Didn't know where into philosophy man ! (assuming these books are yours) I guess that would be one more passion we have in common, hehe
philosophy and poetry are all I read, really. Im 2016 and 2017 I made an "all the books from this year" video. you might enjoy it. :)
Which lense did he use??
Shout out to the dude wearing the Raw is War shirt.
🙌
So this guy doesn't work for college humor anymore?
First!! Again!!
