Mate, don't talk about how the camera is such a great deal in front of the employees. They'll mark up the prices even more
My thought exactly
Our thrift stores are getting expensive on cameras. They are onto us!
they totally are.
They know that the cameras sell well so they jacked up the prices...well in my location also.
Videos like this are the reason second hand cameras are going up in price!
They jacked up the price but dont know anything about cameras. I asked a lady about the shutter speed accuracy and if the light meter works, all she replied was “idk, but
they’re antique so that’s why they worth this much”.... AUD250 for an Olympus OM10... 🙄🙄
@@marieejayne a local shop wanted $299usd for a Nikon F3 you couldn't cock the shutter on.
Might wanna shoot the Kodak gold at 50 and not 500 😂😂 (sure it was a slip of the tongue)
i was questioning my own knowledge and thought i went stupid lmao
Killing it, man. 100K right around the corner!
Thanks Matt!! 🙏🏽
I'm more impressed that you found Clorox wipes.
bahaha
I was literally just looking at my om1 and admiring it and it's simplicity. I found a bag like that too on offer up with lenses, motor drives, filters, manuals, flashes, om1, om2, pc sync cables, hot shoes, and shutter release cables. For 100 bucks. I love my om1.
21yr expired film photoshoot coming soon ? 😂
Nice find! I’d be interested in seeing how you replace the light seals
Light seals are easy to replace. Go to Michaels craft store and for about a dollar you can buy a sheet of black felt with sticky stuff on the back. cut thin strips to go in the groves of the camera and a little wider strip to replace the strip along the back of the camera door. It really is a five or ten minute job and it won't turn to goo like the black foam.
When that was new in the early 70's, a kit like that might cost over $600. It was the time when professional cameras were becoming more common purchases for hobby photographers. We had darkrooms and did our own developing. The camera bodies were all metal, generally brass, the lens housing was also metal. They were designed to survive the rigors of heavy, daily use at weddings or in a war zone. You would think of a camera like a mechanic and their tools.
Man, the Canon FTb is such an underrated camera. It's so good for the price. The 135/2.5 you saw there is also excellent as well. It's hyper sharp and a great portrait lens.
Agreed. I inherited an FTB QL and I love it. The 135mm/2.5 is amazing too.
Was someone in the background speaking Filipino during that first part?
Edit: I commented too early. That thrift store lady is definitely Filipina haha
Such a great find, man! I wish film cameras could be that cheap here in the Ph too.
Dude that's such a good find! The OM-1 / 50 1.4 combo is one of my favorite 35mm setups!
I used to buy them all up when the prices were low a few years ago. Now, I don't even bother. It's fun to find them though.
Thrift stores are called Charity shops in the UK.
I bought a Yashica fxd quartz camera in one recently, it has a 50mm f2 ml lens for £20.
I have replaced the leatherette body covering with a kit from Ebay.
Cost £11.
Now it's pristine and performs perfectly. Great viewfinder.
DAAAAAMN! That's gotta be your most legendary find so far. That F1.4 lens alone is worth more than you paid for the whole bag!
"It was 75 with tax so probably about 80" this hurt me living in Canada
I found an AE-1P in our local goodwill for $25!
what part of the store are they in?
@@matthewtomczyk at our store they're usually at the cashier, it may be different in yours
in my opinion, the Olympus OM-1 is the best 35mm SLR ever made! I have mine with me where ever I go, it's my daily driver! you got very lucky finding that set, I'm very jealous hahah! it was a nice bag for it too! keep up the great content!
That REI piece is a mini tripod! Great find. Enjoy man
Man that is some luck right there. Hope you bought a lotto ticket that day too.
Used to go to my local swap meet. Found all my lenses and gear in that area but now they just sell knock off junk and baby clothes!. Really miss what some of the vendors used to sell.
You got the goods man - Nice score!
curious, when you said you were going to rate the Kodak gold at 500iso, why would you want to be under exposing an expired film?
just curious if you meant 50 iso or if there was actually a reason you said 500!
The vise grip thing is a table mount tripod. It took me a lot of googling for me to find out when I got one.
Great find. A couple weeks ago I found a Minolta Maxxum 7 along with a 7D and a Maxxum 5, a Maxxum 7000 and a whole pile of lenses and a set of Cokin filters and a large Lowpro bag for 200. I thought I had won the lottery with that. I have been wanting a Maxxum 7 for awhile now.
a year later but I am jealous. Lol
Awesome find. The OM-1 is my go to analog camera. Works fine without a battery and Zync air hearing aid batteries are super cheap if you want to use the lightmeter. #olympusgang 😋
I found a mint om2-n kit with 2 lenses, bag, spare windows and window cleaners, flashes and everything for 70 euros but it was just advertised on a 2nd hand website. I will sell it here next week for over 200 bucks
I went to that store when they had that camera by itself for sale. They just happened to make a goodie bag. Nice purchase!
I could only wish there’s almost nothing like this in the uk
Best I found is the British Heart Foundation ebay page, everything starts at £5 and you can sneak some good deals when nobody else bids, saw a good condition Contax T2 go for like £500 there about 6 months ago too
I found a Nikon F5 in Oxfam for £20 about 6 or 7 years ago
There’s always something brother. You just gotta be at the right place at the right time lol. Just go all the time and that gives you better chances
High Hat thanks man i will keep it in mind
I agree with the other replies, which fit with my experience. You can get bargains if you are patient, and UK charity shops on eBay are often a good place to find them, plus you will be supporting a good cause.
Omg! I would be on a high! My OM1 and OM2 are my daily shooters!!!! Exciting!
same! that and my sinar Norma
Max Shoots Film such a wonderful camera and i have found some GREAT deals on lenses !!
@@suzannelopez9896 nice! I got a 35mm 2.8 for about $30 (300sek) just because it had some minor cosmetic damage
Keep it! Or at least do a video shooting it before finding it a new caring home. I got a mint condition one in Seoul while I was traveling (wrapped up in the original box). What a joy to use and the lenses are as amazing condition. This was my first entry into film and that camera led me to sell all my digital gear I loved it so much.
Im really into film photography lately because of your vids bro. I hope one day i could have a film cam. Godbless bro and keep safe.
Hot take: The F Zuiko 50mm f1.8 is better than the G Zuiko f1.4. Not only is it sharper at every aperture but the lens is physically smaller. Sell that 1.4 & snag the 1.8...it's just a better lens.
I got my hopes up the other day, I went thrifting and came across this Minolta SR-T 101 for 25 bucks, but it's shutter was jammed sadly.
Funny that TH-cam recommended me this video after doing research on the OM-1. Last month, I got very lucky and found a red camera bag with a black Olympus OM-1 (non-MD), three lenses, filters, winder, plus a Sekonic light meter. My local Savers probably didn't even open the bag because I managed to get everything for $10.99!! That is definitely my thrift find of the year so far. Thanks for the video! Been following your channel for a little bit now and I've been learning bits and pieces of photography through you and a couple other places.
i found a camera bag for $45 and inside was a pristine konica autoreflex t-3 with a hexanon 50mm f1.7, a hexanon 80-200 f3.5 zoom lens, uv filters, cable release, sunpak electronic flash and alot of old posters and catalogue pages etc and the funniest bit of paper was an old voucher for 3 dollars off film developing at a local grocery store chain that expired 2 weeks before i was born
@kingjvpes wondering if you could do a video on the Olympus OM1 MD??? one was gifted to me. the videos i've come across are not helpful...so wondering if you could put one together, explaining the features, nuances, how to use, etc... thanks in advance
In Australia the thrift stores /op shops don't bump.up the camera prices but they just rarely have anything , I have only gotten a few good ish cameras , 1 , a Minolta x700, 2, zorki 4k and 3, an Olympus Stylus , and they were are dirt cheap but I am just disappointed that there is almost no cameras.
The whole bag looks like a keeper to me! About the manual: as you see it is only a small booklet, of which a large part will likely be about how to take good photographs. Contrast this with modern digital cameras where you get a 150-page paperback book with endless, tedious descriptions of all the different menu options, and not one word on actual photography.
It’s crazy cause about last year I had thrift store find of a camera bag containing om1n with a 50mm 1.4 & 135mm 2.8. Unfortunately camera didn’t work and irreparable and the 135mm can’t stop down but for 40$ it was worth it
Out here in the valley the smoke is stupid bad. You can see a fog of smoke every day. Just like last year when the fires were just as bad.
Shut uuuuup duuuuude, what a find.... omfg. That would not be possible to find here in Denmark. U lucky boi. Nice content.
That bag looks like a billingham. If it is then new it could be worth as much as £250. Wish cameras were that cheap here
Welcome to the Olympus family , OM -2n is my main 35 mm shooter
Hey KJ. Watching you score this prize makes the analogue experience worth it. Kudos my man.
REI ultra pod is just for doing a selfie shots the grip was probably for putting the camera on a tree limb and shooting at level. The ultra pod is better for placing on rocks or something more stable!
Lmao bro 😂🤣😂 dude you got major gas! You were literally shaking. Funny shit man.
Subscribed. 👍🏻 got my first film camera yesterday. Nikon FG
To bad he doesn’t play guitar no more he played Sleep walk on acoustic guitar feels bad
hey man!! these are some really cool videos :)) ive never seen such good thrift stores before what stores did you go to here?
That's so dope man, that's such a good feeling when you find a bargain like that cant pass is it up. Had something somewhat similar happen last week, I am a Real Estate Photographer was photographic a clients home and before I left she said she had something for me. Brings out a bag actually very similar to the one shown in this video. In the bag were a Minolta Maxxum 7000, Canon T50 and my fav. one Canon AE-1. Just got a motor drive for the AE-1 put on a new camera strap and film it has become my absolute fav. camera. I tested all cameras and they all work. Inside the bag were also multiple zoom lenses, flash, filters etc etc even a cleaning kit just like the one in your bag oh and also a lot of documents, original manual guides for the cameras. So dope man, ty for your vids definitely inspired me to shoot more film. Blessings brother, be safe out there, keep on shooting, have fun.
Thrift stores don't exist in the UK. Charity/goodwill ain't that good either.
Found a wandrd camera bag last month for $10 now it's my go to camera bag.
Eco thrift in Hayward is a great thrift spot, it has got so popular where you have to be there early early
BLESS you for saying "I S O" and not "iso" ("eye-soh"). ;)
Wow f1.4 lens with plenty of extras for $75? LOL
Nice channel you got here, I've subscribed :)
I shuttered, when he threw back that bag flap... oh damn!!!
Bro that was nauseating how good of a deal you got on that Olympus grab bag.
Hallo, where is it bro? Say hello I'm from ina 🙏🏼
Nice find! You are to thrifting like I am to estate sales.
Where hell is this guy living! He is so lucky with those thrift store visits
You said people use that flatbed scanner to scan their negs. How do you use a regular non film scanner to scan film? I've tried with my phone screen and even a USB light table turned upside-down over the film on the scan bed. Love the vids.
Also, Why did you say you would shoot the expired 200 iso film at 500 "Just to be safe"? Why would that be safe? wouldn't you want to expose at 100 iso to get more light on the film?
I recently got an OM-1 with the 50mm f1.4 lens and shot my first ever roll of film in the new year. I never thought I’d get into film photography, for a while I’ve been wanting a new mid-priced digital mirrorless camera like a Canon R6. Really glad I got such a sick piece of gear, it’s beautiful and the lens is legitimately a dream. Absolutely hyped to be part of the community, the OM-1 will not be my last film camera.
Are the bag a billingham one? Awesome find!!
Nice find
I keep finding mju`s
Just got a Mju I mint cond for 3 bucks
Got 2 MJU II`s for 2 bucks, one worked
Yesterday got a Olympus trip for a five
jesus NYC thrift shops ain't that generous haha
Ojalá hubiera algo así en Argentina
U should got that canon 135mm f2.5 ... ahhhhhh
Bruh I wish there was a thrift store like this where I live
We used to call that strap a hippie strap. LOL
Bruh, if your film is expired you gotta go the OTHER way... So 400 ASA becomes 200 ASA (for early 2000s) or 100 ASA (for 1980s-1990s).
Dude I pulled up to my local eco thrift and picked up my first film camera, a Minolta XG-M for $54 and they also had a Minolta 7000 and a Pentax super program
REI Ultrapod: probably a collapsible tabletop tripod branded for REI, a major seller of outdoors/hiking equipment. Overall, what a surprise thrift find. Not personally a big fan of Olympus OM stuff, but I really like the bag. Looks like this kit has been sitting in grandpa's closet for about 25 years. Doubt the film is worth the cost of chemicals to process it at age 25+ years and no cold or frozen storage.
I been at the Vallejo Ecothrift and man it's busy. The Sacramento stores are less busier but their prices are getting outrageous. Still though, I've nailed some good finds.
where in the world are these stores omg
Not all Zuiko 50/1.4’s are made the same, if you get the right one then it’s a stunning lens, otherwise you’re better off with the 1.8. Hell of a find though!
Am I the only one exited about the Billingham Camera Bag? That's pretty much as Valuable as the OM-1 Nice find !
Ang saya naman magwork diyan. 😵
5:40 yoooo that’s my camera (I have the model), it was my grandfather and he also had a telephoto lens exactly like that! He lost it tho, have you ever tried this camera? If you have, how good is it? Haven’t been able to try mine cause I have no film ☹️🤷🏻♂️
I saw some old cameras at an antique store. The place is huge. Didn't see all but getting ready to go back soon. These places are gold mines for collector's.
I know rating cameras is hard for some people, especially if you don't have that much experience with it, but this is not 'mint' condition. It's good condition, sure. But not 'mint' at all. Good find though, especially with the 1.4!
I subscribed a few weeks ago., totally love your content, style, everything.
I recently bought a Canon New F-1. I’ve shot Astrophotography via a DSLR, but I wanted to ask/suggest if there is any chance you would shoot a video detailing how to shoot star trails, etc?
Just a thought man, 🤔
Just love this film stuff!!
I have a same Olympus with that sweet Zuiko f1.4 lens, and man, that thing is SHARP! It easily beats most other brands easily with it's performance, nice find tough (Y)
Wait did Olympus really go out of business? I loved their cameras even their digitals were great.
Meanwhile in Malaysia, everything costs an arm or leg. We don't have any thrift shops that sell good camera equipment unfortunately.
What thrift store is this? I have to go there. I’m in SoCal, and you can’t find anything film related in any thrift store. PLEASE drop the location 🙏
Oh man that's a good deal!!!
So jealous. I love my custom OM2n. Would like an OM1 to go with it! That one is so clean! The only 35mm SLR I ever need.
I have that Canon FD 135mm f/2.5 S.C. breech-lock lens and it's friggin' amazing! Some of my all time favorite portraits with that lens. You could easily sell it for double the asking price at the thrift shop.
That C clamp thing is a mount for attaching to a car window, a fence slat, a ships rail and so on... Kind of like a tripod..
Shoulda picked up that Canon FD 135mm too!
No one likes Canon FD.
yo you remember luis from highschool
my word that WAS a deal
I picked up the Zuiko 35mm f2 on eBay a couple of years back with a bunch of random other stuff for about £40, and they go for hundreds now, probably my best find
The REI pod will allow you to mount your camera to a pole to tree branch. Just velcro that thing around a branch.
Which thrift store did you go to?
Can not believe you passed up a Canon Ftb..That is a phenomenal camera sir...
Ultrapod is a mini table tripod, you can mount it to a tree or railing with the velcro.
Need to add on a Acra Swiss QR plate though.
The pedco ultrapod size in the video also suggest that it more for action camera or maybe under 1kg load.
What thrift store is this lol
