Buy an old TLR camera. You can shoot through the viewing lens if you set your camera up to shoot through the focusing screen. You’ll get the graphics of the focus screen on your image, which can be changed out for different types. It’s a unique look, unmistakably vintage and a lot of fun. And then you can shoot film with the old camera too!
I travel on avg 8 months our of the year. Carry my X100v everywhere. I shoot in both jpeg and raw. I prefer using recipes since they are quick and easy and I do not have time to edit. I shoot for fun and capturing quick moments with friends along my travels. I also carry a instax printer, so many times, I take a quick photo using a recipe, then transfer to my phone via the app and print it out and share the print with my friends in just a couple mins. Although I mainly use recipes, I like to save all my raw files for a day when I will eventually like to create personal coffee table type books with all my photos in them to keep at home. jpeg quick easy to share photos, raw for long term memory. Think it is a great balance for someone that just wants to capture moments and not make it a huge process.
Ah I see makes sense I am trying to build my lense today 🥳 really looking forward. I am using the x-t30 II and once i've built it i want to combine film simulation settings with the diy lense. I think shooting it with a suitable night recipe together with the built in flash might be promising. Thanks again for the inspiration!
People using Fujifilm camera with film recipes are not all Pro at taking photo. They just want a "Good" with "Retro Vibe" pictures to share with their friends or social media "Directly in JPEG". It would never be wrong for people like you or others to seek out "REAL" 90's photo with alternatives. However it is always a bad call to ask people to "STOP USING" somethings while it is not wrong or right from the beginning, after all. (P.S. not a Fujiflim owner)
I think a lot of people buy some models to get that retro feel for sure, I know I did. More so asking people to stop and give something different a try, if someone got one for a similar reason to me they might find this to be more of the vibe they’re looking for
Interesting but still don't see how the recipes subtract from this and if you really want a more vintage feel why not just adapt M42 vintage lenses or something along those lines where you at least have control over focus, focal lengths and apature?
This lens is cheap to make, produces a really gritty image and the fact it doesn’t fully focus gives it a dream like haze. Thing is as well because it’s so small you could literally just use it as your lens cap so you have a lens on your camera non stop, just incase you wanted to snap a quick photo without having to mess with manual focus of an older lens. The vibe/look of the images won’t be for everyone, but I love it!
I’m with you. I can put old Nikon lenses on my Canon EF mount 5D MkIV with a simple adapter. You can choose a high quality lens or an old gimp depending on the look you want. And they’re often cheaper than the plastic camera used in this video. No assembly required.
Nice! top content!

What a shout! Definitely vintage vibes! I’ve wanted a medium format for a while now too
Could be useful and fun project on old digital camera (non fuji)
Definitely!

Nice shots ! Might be a dumb question but which settings were you using did you switch to shooting Raw ?
Not at all! I decided to shoot in JPEG as I didn’t think the quality of the lens would be high enough to justify RAW

Where did you get that handy nylon stick?
Came with a repair kit! but I also bought a bunch for £1 on Ali express 😅
I’m so here for the real questions.
