- I challenged myself to buy an analogue film camera for £20. 35mm, medium format, it doesn't matter, so long as it is 'decent' and is made by a somewhat respectable brand. So we are talking Canons, Pentax.....Leica?

Can I just say a huge thank you. It's refreshing to find a film TH-camr who doesn't speak softly over the sound of lofi beats.
With a grainy filter, taking pictures of exclusively landscapes
@@MrStruggle0hahaha you guys are funny why do 99% of tubers do that?
@@MandyJessicaCupcheck There's a success pattern on this apparently, lots of hipsters around...
@@MandyJessicaCupcheck On the other hand, it kinda keeps the film alive so... 😅
the overly dramatic artsy narration style most photography youtubers do literally kept me from getting into photography for years because i am like autistic and it makes it hard to watch
Laughing my arse off. Good stuff!
110 pocket film is actually really cool. Just a pain in the ass to scan. And chances are that praktica and chinon only work with batteries because of the light meter blocking the shutter. Some of these only click when they can measure light. Got loads of “broken” cameras that way.
Either way, Konica c35/pop is a good call at this price range.
The az300 is a gem and they usually fetch way more. I grabbed one recently for 5 bucks at a thrift shop. They are remarkably nice to work with for something so ugly (had one before). Happy to ship it to you for the price of shipping if you want to try it but I warn you; didn’t try it with film, but it does zoom!
Just bought my first film camera for 20€, a Porst Reflex C-TL with 3 lenses, 2 rolls of film and some filters and stuff, looking forward to getting my first film developed
Damn this was enjoyable to watch
Wait wait arent you the guy from Car Throttle or am I hallucinating? Great vid tho!
lol I just won this challenge coincidentally. Found a hidden gem at a thrift store
Not only only does he talk about film photography, he makes jokes about my mother and is mean to me. Subscribed .
I don't care that you don't post monthly or weekly. I love your videos so much, it's always worth the wait when one drops!
Welcome back, man! Don't stop the "your mom" jokes, that's the main reason I subscribed!
Hahaha ok will do
Jack? My god. I have been watching car throttle for years, and I had no clue you were into photography also! Instant sub. I love these style of videos, remind me of the old digitalrev days.
I thought I recognised him from somewhere 🤔
I spent the whole vid thinking 'He's a lot like that fella off car throttle'. Thanks for clearing that up 😂
Man I had no idea about this channel, watched car throttle for years, you specifically are a big part of why i got into cars, im a photography student that shoots only on film so this is really perfect, excited to see more!
Was about to post something similar. Insta-sub!!
Hey! Happy to see another post from you! FD and a 50mm for that price is a total bargain! Spent twice as much as that on my FTB body alone!
Nice one. Glad to hear I didn't do too badly then
Criminally underrated film channel.
This is my first video I've ever seen from your channel, and you're funny as fuck and sharp as a tack
Definitely will be watching your other videos going forward
Worth it just for the Canon FT and 50mm lens alone...
You could always sell the olympus superzoom as "spares or reoairs' and get some of your £20 back?😊
Would be cool if you were able to do one video a month or so. Really enjoy your humour and perspective. Great deal btw!
Nice one, thanks, I'm working on it
I like car throttle but this is better!
Was worried I was the only one that found UK antiques markets to be a crimescene of overpriced old cameras! I’m glad he knocked those two down though
I fuckin love your stuff. You’re like the Anthony Bourdain of photography youtubers. Just not American, poor and alive.
Keep doing videos. They’re rad. If you setup a buymeacoffee, I’ll buy you that fucking coffee.
aint this the bloke that does the car stuff
I have a favourite camera shop, which is actually a small section of an antique centre, the guy who runs it is super nice and the cameras are £20-25 for brands like pentax, chinon etc. Proper nice cameras. I got a chinon prinzflex ttl, lovely full metal body camera for £25. From a different part of the antique centre there was a shelf of really old cameras. Got a Kodak instamatic 100 for £3.
Brilliant as always, good to have you back! Love the copy of that Dixons catalogue. "FOR PEOPLE WITH SMALL POCKETS".
I don't even shoot film, but your videos are too hilarious I just had to subscribe.
wish the film gods would bless me in such ways, all I get is existential misery and overpriced tat at every single antique/charity shop I go to.
Hold on, aren’t you the guy on car throttle?
clicked on this video not realising that it was jack from car throttle lol
Awesome video, your style fricking sarcastic - genius. Keep this style forever because this feels real. 😆😆
You're going to be big one day, mark my words and pin this comment please
Best broken camera taking a photo of best broken car
Buuuuuhhhhh iT's nOt 20 dOlLarS, iT's LiKe 25$ sCaMMMMM
No mate, just kidding, loved the vid and the pictures!
Enjoyed this hilarious video very much.
hang on a second is that Jack from Car Throttle? :o
this mf called me an idiot but i still love him, how does he do this?
£20 Leica is just paying a dude in the alleyway to rush into the Leica store and grabbing the first M3 he sees.. 😂
No way Jack from car throttle does photography never knew as I’m a beginner photographer and a car enthusiast ahaha instant sub when I saw this dude
Exactly same!! I saw his film camera in the nc500 episode but I wasn’t expecting this!
Your channel deserves far more exposure, great stuff.
QL loading is actually great. Genuinely better to put film in than any Leica.
Like 2 weeks ago I found a mint Argus c3 in a antique store, thing is built SOLID and it’s got a great lens. For $20 it will give you great photos
They are also everywhere here in America
I rarely do this - but I subcribed and belled your channel halfway through watching the video.
Please post more videos ❤❤❤
Ha! I brought one of those Olympus AZ Superzooms last year. And the zoom works unlike my mom... Anyway, it is bloody massive and i haven't got through a roll yet so no idea if my mediocre photography is a match for it. Top notch video. Much better than that Autoalex channel
such a difficult thing to make videos entertaining while talking about cameras but you did it! love the content
"20 pounds to buy a film camera" slaps down a Canon 7, which would either be a steal or was stolen XD. That intro definitely got my attention!
Bruh love the jokes.
Dude, this is too funny, great job on the script!
So happy that TH-cam recommended this video for me. I think you have a bright future 😊😁
I found a folding Kodak for £8 at some store which seemed to be in working condition, but nowhere is good as your canon, of course!
Keep up the great work
I don't think I've subscribed to anyone so fast! Brilliant video.
you are so refreshing omg
Haha, brilliant! Yes. Do it again!
By the way - yes, you can use the FL breech lock lenses and FD and NFD lenses on the FT. (I have 2 videos on those 50mms, but I still lack the chrome nose model you have to complete the trilogy).
It was the "sick out my arse" comment that prompted my follow.
The camera goat returns
You should try some Eastern Bloc cameras like Praktica, FED, Zenit, Kiev or Zorki. I use a Praktica MTL 5 B with a Pentacon nifty fifty f 1.8. This thing is built like a bloody tank and has a metal shutter, which upon shooting, sounds like firing a Makarov. I works perfectly and amazingly the lightmeter in it still accurate.
That lil guy is so hunky of a camera
20 pounds 2 cameras ? WIN! Also never heard of ql , nifty
had no idea you were into film photography! happy to have stumbled onto this somehow. Guess the algorithm from watching CT and my new digital photography hobby worked. Subscribed.
this is by far the best film yt channel
Keep doing film camera vids ❤️❤️❤️ I’m a photography student and artist so it’s very awesome to watch things like this
As if one of the greatest car presenters on YT is also into film photography. Awesome content mate, really enjoyed.
I have the Olympus - a re-gift - plus a Canon FTb. The latter with a non-functional meter.
I didn't even watch the video (it was randomly recommended to me and i'm not into film) but I'm liking just for the creative username lol
great video
Absolute legend 🙌 banger of a video as usual. You are my hero.
I love those Canon F series SLRS. Some of the best affordable, all mechanical film cameras. I have the FX personally, which is the previous model to the FP QL and only differs in lacking quick load and ttl metering.
I was like hm, that seems like an interesting photography video, AND THEN I HEAR JACK GODDAMN JOY???? I wonder if you ever wind film off of the spool by accident and say mistakes are made in the heat of passion
2:43 Please don't...
Well, good deal, but I found an advanced APC CMOS dslr (aka, the Pentax K20D)in perfect condition with a prime and a kit lens both with autofocus, battery, charger, SD card and an SD card reader for a grand total of 50€...
Guess I’ve found my new favourite photography channel
Came here to watch as it came up on my recommended as my last film camera I bought on ebay for the winning bid of £28 which I currently use. Even better is it was a Canon AV-1 with a 35-105mm lens. Also never expected this video would be by Jack Joy. Subscribed
"I'm sorry if you're a die hard fan"... No worries, I don't think either of them are watching 🤣 Good find on the QL though, they're pretty tidy. Those 50mm f1.8's are quite decent. How was the focus/aperture on it? I had an f1.4 from the same series which had been in an attic for about 2 decades. All the grease had separated and the oil ran onto the blades leaving the wax behind gumming up the helicoid. That was a fun 8 hour session rebuilding it.... And when I say fun, I mean like the kind of fun you get from a paper cut.
I was like woah I recognize this voice...how do I know this voice...then I saw your face...fuck that's familiar...then I was like oh man, he does cars too. Slick to see you branch out. Cool vid.
Still kicking myself as Goodwill used to just put SLRs and camera gear on the shelf or at least in a glass case back years ago. Nowadays they put it on their site and they are still OK deals, but it's more work. Which this reminds me of a few, one being what appeared to be a decent Pentax 35mm SLR camera with 50mm lens for like $40. I should have picked it up but decided not to and now regret it (this was probably 5 years ago though before Film really started to take off). Even if it needed some work like new light seals or a new focusing screen it would have still been a steal probably given some of these cameras (maybe not that specific one) can go for $100+.
honestly if I would've seen all the cameras you saw, I probably would've bought a few. I kinda just like having extra cameras to shoot with tbh >.>
I had the Olympus which I bought for £12 boxed with a case 6 months ago, which I bought as a cheap thing for the car. Sadly it was stolen when my car was broken into in November before I could develop the found film it!
man, your daddy jokes are the best. i'm subscribed only because of the attitude and whole "who gives a fuck" theme thru your videos. keep it rolling!
I'm just amazed your thrift shops had this many cameras!
The best I usually find is already-used disposable cameras and 50 diseases I didn't know existed.
I feel like I’m being attacked simply by watching the video, subscribed
Got a Canon AE-1 Program at a pawn shop recently for $20 USD. That's about as good as it gets.
Subscribed for the £20 taxidermy challenge
So my 2 hobbies are cars and cameras… especially film cameras… just discovered this channel and cannot believe it was you! Been subbed to CT for years but subbed here today!!
Not a deal of the century? A working FD /w lens? Under 20£? Are you absolutely nuts? 😀
When you get tired of the Canon, I'll buy it for 20£ (it's still a 100% profit for you)
I'd watch 15 minutes of Dixon's 1982 catalog. Just sayin'
Great finds for 20 quid. Got my canon t70 for 20 quid and absolutely love it.
Great work, awesome idea. I have to try out this challenge on my own. The Canon FT QL is a nice find but how did you use the light meter since it needs a px625 battery which is banned from sale nearly everywhere?
Keep on with the mum jokes :D
EOS 600 is about $20-30 on eBay for those not setting a limit. It’s an insane value for what the camera does
You make camera videos?? How am i only just finding this out?! Instant sub
this was first the video of yours I happened to see. I'm Italian, so not a native English speaker. sometimes it's been hard to understand what you were saying. I love you anyway
Peak comedy and a photographer. Instant sub. Cheers my dood
Thrift stores are infamous in the USA also for over pricing non working junk cameras. I don't know what is it with those store owners.
you can probably get that Leica by buying a broken soviet copy (doesnt even need to be Zorki or FED, there are also Leica branded copies)
lol
I have a canon FTb, I want an original FT. They're so fucking good
Can I trade a soviet camera for this Canon? Because anywhere where I live they cost at least 90 EUR
5 films for£3.99 at Dixons...
Ah, those were the days.
cant go wrong with an old canon, i have a canon p with a 1.2 nifty 50 and its my first analog camera, it's great you should try it
You have to be lucky with two things. You have to find them with people who don't know what they are worth or with thrift stores that don't know what they are worth.
that ft was my first camera! I inherited it from my grampa who was a war journalist which is what I'm on the track to becoming, (he was a reporter but I'm mainly a photographer) so in a way that camera put me on the track! I've got a few font memorys of starting film photography with it!
i not shitting you jack, bought a superzoom from a fucking charity shop a month back and it got some sick shots for a tenner
This video is golden 😍 but that camera for that price 👀 I need to find hidden gems like this
never knew I'd be watching you make camera content and not playing with cars haha
Man -- I hate to look back at all of the various photography items that I have gotten for a fart and a handshake....
