Browsing the photo albums my family had, seeing photos of me as a kid with my parents, I asked my mother what camera they used to take the shots because all of them was awesome photos. She got up, went to her room, came back and gave me my father's autoboy. I was super stoked. I love it! Your video inspired me to use it again. Thanks King Jvpes! ❤️
Just found one for $5 at the local thrift store. Just finished shooting my first roll of film. Looking forward to the results.
Am I the only one that likes the sound it makes? Hah.. this camera is unapologetic in every way haha
Thats dope! Great find huh? haha and honestly, i really hate the sound this thing makes LOL but it takes great photos so, I'm not gonna complain! How did you like shooting it?
Rayan Pellegrini yeah 40 for mine this cam is heavy duty
@@apalo70 bro really paid 40 for it smh my head
I got my for $5 with a case too!
I had one of those and was quite impressed with it.
I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants good images for a cheap price.
Pros : Very fast AF with hardly any shutter button lag.
Very good image quality and sharp lens.
Fastish lens @ f2.8.
Takes 2 x AA batteries.
Cheapish to buy.
Cons : No pre focus indicator or focus lock until the shot is taken.
Noisy winding motor ( which is drowned out in a busy city).
A bit bulky, doesn't fit in a jeans pocket but does fit coat pocket.
PS its autoboy in USA and af35m in the rest of the world.
Hope you guys like this series! Whatever cheap camera I could find I'm gonna make a video on it! Please let me know what you guys think or what I could do to improve my videos! As always it's greatly appreciated! Did you guys ever find any cool film cameras for cheap?
yeah i got the freedom 135zoom cheap at goodwill for $6 i love that camera lol
Nikon L35AF please........ :)
KingJvpes you've got some sick hair
KingJvpes rate the film at 200 and dev for 400. It’s fantastic, trust me.
Ricoh yf20 please
It was an excellent beginners camera. Simple to operate, inexpensive and it took excellent photos without having to invest heavily into a SLR camera. The flash covered the entire frame without a central hotspot.
Impressive! All your shots are quality.
You have an eye.
5:26 I was like "I hope the lights in the window show" and they did, awesome shots, I just picked up my auto-boy back up, I got it three years ago when I first started shooting film and never put any rolls through because the battery door had issues, fast forward to now where I have more experience 😈 and I can find a work around to the janky door, I'm currently shooting my first roll of Kodak gold 200 through it, excited for the results!
That's a pretty spiffy little camera, I'm looking at getting one right now. I love my Nikon L35, which is quite similar.
going back to your old videos and I forgot how much this camera sounds like fax machine from 90s
Never shot on film before. I really should this looked dope
Thomas Arnold dope as hell man! Give it a shot!
I just bought one today at my favorite local thrift shop for $1!!! I'm so excited to start using it, but I need to buy some film to see if it even works 😂
My first ever film camera, lol. I'm honestly stoked to see you have one too. I was following you on my old account for a good while, but since I ended my vpet vlogs, I decided it was time to start fresh. I hope you make more vids about this camera! 💖
too perfect for me, looks like digital, but you had fun, that´s what´s important!
Dope. My grandma just found a Sure Shot in her closet and asked if I wanted it the other day. Your video made it clear that I want it lol
Haha what's awesome about this camera is it's the one my grandfather and my mom shot all our family pics on! Old school birthday parties and baby pics, this camera is cheap but has a lot of nostalgia for me. I'd love to get my hands on one of em again just for fun. I found a canon telemax af cam at a thrift store for $3. Works like a dream for just on the go, good to carry around a point and shoot and since it's a bit newer than this one, the af is really good plus that built in flash. 😇😇
I was also about to comment that colour negative film has huge latitude and to some people's eyes will even look better overexposed, but the pulling definitely gives it a distinctive look. I'd still try overexposing though, it gives a lovely pastel tone.
EMMA I really wanna try that pastel look you talk about! Any tips on exposure settings? If I shoot 400 should I set the asa 200 or even 100?
I couldn't comment on Superia in particular, I've never actually used it, but 200 seems to be the 'safe spot' a lot of people go for :) George from Negative Feedback has had some great results with Pro 400h at 100 if you haven't already seen the video where he shoots at the beach, but obviously it's a little less practical. Portra is the most famous for its pastel tones when overexposed - I just love that look. Great shots from today by the way, I love what you're doing.
EMMA thanks Emma! And alright I'll be sure to try it out! I don had any portra rn but I am gonna pickup a roll or two of Fuji 400h. I'll try that out at 200 and see what I get! Haha thanks for the tip!
awesome think I'll take my film camera out from the 70s.
I've got two autoboys and I love them! You're right, the loudest camera ever..
mustard bee Lmao right! Aye autoboy gang! I really want the af35L I think it's called? It had the faster 1.9 lens? But yea dude these things are raw
Very cool how this camera is clearly descended from the Canonets, and serves as a bridge between that era and the later more streamlined point-and-shoots. And you look great without the mustache.
Nice shots! Overexposing colour film is actually really safe, and a lot of people do it on purpose (including me). I think it's supposed to give you slightly richer colours (although if you WAY overexpose it they can shift a bit I think?), but also it just makes the pictures a bit safer in case your camera calculates the wrong exposure, because UNDER-exposing generally looks bad.
Castmate That so good to know!! I didn't realize it until today and when you said! Thanks again for educating me man haha :)
I have 2 of these. Picked one ( AF 35 M II) up for $4 and the other ( Sure Shot ) for 99 cents. Almost the exact same shooter. The Max ASA on one is 1000 and the other, ASA 400. Good little shooters!
Awesome video! Interesting and nice pictures. Was searching for some newer videos on the internet for this camera, you filled the void pretty good!
Keep up the great work
Sean de Jong thank you!! And man this camera is dope! You getting one soon?
KingJvpes maybe, if there is a good offer :)
I just found one in Jacksonville at a thrift store for $1.99 with a 40% tag sale reduction. It’s actually in pristine condition where even the label that says PASSED looks like new. Bought batteries and took some pictures at Fernandina Beach using B/W film and they came out great. Very decent Camera.
Loving these film series. Keep up the nice work.
In the UK if you go thrifting, they ask lots of questions and make you feel uncomfortable because they think are buying cheap and selling for a profit.. also on eBay UK, the prices are over inflated. While in America you can pick up an old film camera for $3-8, here in the UK they milk you dry and won't sell for any cheaper.
Nice phots, I just bought one today lol
Niiiice!!! Just picked up one of these today from a thrift shot for $5. I can’t wait to take it out!
Told you ;) Yay for point and shoots. And most film do well when overexposed a little. The colours came out great.
I just order mine and cant wait to use it!
Great video! Sacramento!
Dope video man! I love cheap film cameras, I came across a minolta freedom zoom 135mm at a goodwill that i got for $6 in amazing condition like a month ago that i love. I also just got a Hi-Matic AF2 that i shot for the first time yesterday i'm waiting to see how the film turns out cuz i've heard it's an amazing camera. it's weird minolta kinda took me over after i got the 700 they just keep popping up in my life lol
Phototaku I feel you man! And dope finds haha the 700 got me too and ever some that I've been mostly Minolta as well, they're everywhere haha.
haha word its kinda crazy lol i blame u bro. But man i love these cameras. If you can you should check out the Hi-maitc af2. it's a semi-auto point and shot. It'll expose for you but you still have to wind it yourself and you can manually turn the flash on or off
Phototaku damn dude really wanna try that out!!!!
Yeah definitely man, if you do beware though when you finish the roll of film it doesnt really give you any indication. The winding lever literally just locks when you wind the last shot. It gives you the feeling that it got stuck or something but DON'T force it. I found out the hard way thats how it lets you know. Ended up ripping the film right off of the canister and lost it :( there was no video on that particular camera so i thought it was broken but that's not the case at all lol
Love the way the pictures came out!
Dominiqúe B thank you!
The Yashica T4 got competition with this cam
Cute little thing took some nice pictures, would definitely considering keeping an eye out for one at my local thrifts now. :) Great vid dude.
Benjamin Murphy sure is man haha! And thank you.
Ah yeah, i used to have one of these years ago. Great for street stuff. Nice work man!
Thank you :) Love love love this thing haha
Great photos! Your videos are always super sick
Zach Brown thanks zach! Appreciate it!
wow i also have the same one. really good for beginners.
my minolta 3xi arrived yesterday and i took my first roll of film photos today !
ayyyye how do you like film so far?
Thanks for the video 👍 Just bought my AF35M for less than 3€ on a flea market. After seeing your video, I can't wait to pop a film in that camera to test it. But damn... It's so noisy 🙈
Good job man! Keep it up.
love the pics! good job
thank you!
Holy shittttt that film is amazing gonna pick some up ASAP
Clacking Computer it is msn haha and it's cheap!
Nice shots man! Looks like a fun camera.
definitely is, little tricky to use at times tho....
When you load your film do you have to take blank shots in order for it to move the dial to “1” instead of “S” ?
I thrifted mine yesterday for 5 dollars american. Seems to work too.
Great video, thanks.
I have one, I just have that sometimes it does focus on what you want it to focus on.
Hey man :) I know this is seven years ago, who does your developing and scanning?
my grandma found one in her house...waiting to see her and try out that camera lol
Love the vid. Would you know by any chance why I loaded in a Portra 400 with 36 exp and it stopped after 24exp? Did I load it in bad or is there a limit of exposures on the camera?
Love the vid! Actually picked up one of these on eBay for like $10 mint, still waiting on my first roll to comeback
ClashwithPresto man these cameras are dope! Hella wanna see your shits man! Got an Instagram?
Not the shuttles is loud, the film advance is.
Hey man I love this. It convinced me to get a point and shoot film camera. And love your channel. Honestly one of my biggest inspirations to create with film. Can I just ask what's the song you used in this vid? I checked the link and it doesn't match. I like the oohs in the song haha. Much love man
Thats awesome! So glad i could help you get into it! As for the music, he's a beat maker on soundcloyd called lakeyinspired! I don't remember the exact song this one is but i'm sure you can find it on his feed :)
pre covid lookin weird to me lmfaooo
I find ones like these online for $125-150, can never find any in thrift stores ever :(
Bella Fallaaa try garage/yard sales I found the exact same one for $3 and with new film included.
Bella Fallaaa i just selling for $100 ^^
Bella Fallaaa me either
I'm been forever looking for one but at those prices, heck no! I found one a week ago at the thrift for $8 for a steal. Keep looking out there.
What's up King?! Loved some of the shots you got back using FujiFilm Superia 200. Try Superia 400 and rate it at 200 ASA with your Minolta next time your out-n-about... I think you will like the color tones? Good job man! Look for my post with my results on IG.
fotosbylang forsure I'll check your IG! And actually funny you mentioned this video was shot on superia 400 but I rated it on 200! I made a mistake! So this is shot at 200 but it's a 400 ISO film! Haha
Yah... I should have watched the entire episode as I noticed at the end you mentioned you accidentally rated it at 200 ASA! Hahaahahaha. So now you know what it looks like! I love the look!
Like this video
We had this one when I was about 8 years old
How did you get the strap on yours! I've been trying to figure it out lolll
I was just about to sell that same camera on Ebay but I changed my mind lol. Nice song in the background too. The link you provided to the song isn't the same song. Do you by chance have the right one ?
6:05 you should call the camera "Autotune". Crazy sounds! 🤣
Did Canon made any cool point and shoot 35mm in 90’s?? I’m suprised Olympus is hailed as king ( for affordable range... Contax and Yashica is on other level )
Were most of 90’s can focused on Zoom lens in a smaller body ?
Did you do any post processing after the scans or are these pics strait out of the camera? I like the warm colors it produced.
I have one of these in great condition with the case and some different lenses. I was looking at selling it. As much as I love photography and as cool as it could be, I don't think I could go through sending it away to be developed lol
im based in sydney, australia and am looking to buy one !!
What type of film does it use? I just found one at my grandparents house and it doesn't say what type of film.
Ooooh... 5.16 into your video I noticed that you mention about shooting towards the building to the Left of the screen showing off the bank logo and was surprised security didn't come out and ask you to leave or to not take pics of the building. The pics were amazing though. Great job!
fotosbylang haha no they didn't care.... luckily.
funny looking back at these comments and seeing everyone saying they paid $5 for this camera. now current day, I paid $75 and found that to be a good deal, as they go for $150+ on eBay now!
Right, I was thinking the same thing
Do you know how to take the battery door on and off?? I'm trying to replace my broken battery door
I bought this camera three months ago and I've been using it for five bucks pretty good ..
Manuel Morales dope!!!
Manuel Morales I'm starting to really like this camera!
I feel like finding film cameras is like investing in crypto early. I just got this camera but I got it for $90 🥹 and all of the other film cameras are now price gouged.
Fantastic camera though. It’s still worth it imo. But once it gets to about $200 I don’t think it’s worth anymore.
I bought one and it was working perfectly fine but then it randomly stopped working. Anybody know how to repair this?
I overexpose Superia Xtra 400 by one stop at ll the time. It looks good. Oh and keep your eyes out for the higher end model. I have the same camera but with an F 1.9 lens which I think was the fastest lens put on a point and shoot.
cool
Genesis Kei Chrysalis thanks
Someone I know is selling this camera for $100 is it worth it? Or do you think I can find it cheaper?
I know this is one of your older videos but PLEASE dont loop the same song throughout the entire video again! It got to the point where I had to mute the damn thing it was so annoying! Wooooooooooo ohhhhhhhhh!
Dude you based out of Sacramento? SacTown!
I bought af 35m which was my first film camera. And actually it’s fuck of back film cover was broken.
Do you think that I can buy junk item and switch the parts from it?
I have this camera and wanted to test its functions before loading film and specifically with the rewinding mechanism. I haven’t loaded film but I pressed the rewind release button the bottom and slid the rewind button to rewind but the exposure counter doesn’t rewind backwards. Is this due to not having film loaded or a defect?
I have the Canon Sure Shot - 38mm, how do you use the autofocus button?
i think i have the same cam or at least they look alike but mine has a screen on the back for the timestamp setting
Bro where did you get the film can you plz send a link?
Hello, I am a college student in China, and I really want to share your video on the video website in China. As you know, there is no youtube in China. I hope you can allow me. I hope to get your permission again!
Where do you get your films developed?
Janine Lacap I get them developed at The darkroom lab! Search for them on google. They are try fast and reliable, also they are fair with prices. I've never had any more trust with a lab than I do with these guys. They really know what they're doing!
Can I buy that? I wanted to have a canon af35m film camera
How did you process the photo?
I got one but when I take pics it gets jammed
Does it have a good photo at night?
Does it have the function to write the date at the bottom of picture?
Where did you buy the camera?
What all do you have to do to get pictures you take on the camera on to a computer or phone?
you have to go to a photo store let them develop the pics for you in order to get the pictures or send to your email etc
Paulkyyy develop at home then scan or take picture of negative on digital camera
my lens can’t seem to shut, does anyone knows why? :(
ふざけてんのか真面目なのかよく分からない！笑
でも参考になった！
What iso should I shoot on?? For outside sunny, outside dark and lowlight
ISO 400 is always a good bet!
hi there, do i need to adjust the iso at the lens or is it automatic?
Yes, you need to adjust it.
Downtown Sacramento?
Alex Rodriguez yessir
With a ton of old cameras out there ,why would you want to take pictures with a cheap camera and pay to get the film develop
Cause it's what he wants. This is what makes him happy. I do it too.
Just picked up a couple of these cameras after watching your vid. I’ll be giving one away in a photo contest on website filmphotography.club. Check it out!
Everytime when this hipster reviews a camera.. the prices are doubling
I hate the battery door's quality bruh it breaks so easily
