It made me laugh because I actually did get one of my favorite cameras at a thrift store for $3.50, and I know that's what I sound like every time I tell someone hahahah
But seriously people say that all the time and it drives me crazy and then one day someone gave me their SX-70 and then I became that person. But still.
Props to Jason and his camera collection, as over the past year they've helped me find my passion and direction in film photography - at a thrift store for 5 dollars.

My favorite thing about your channel is not just because you are so incredibly funny but you actually make incredible photos and very interesting videos
I think your right. He travels a lot, so maybe it was 5€ or 5£. I know there are more types of currency that would my comment funnier or cooler but I am too lazy to look it up at this moment in time.
And boom an X Pan! This made me laugh because every time I come home with a new camera I get asked ‘how much did you spend on that?’ My standard response from now on will be ‘$5 from the thrift store’
@@leepeacher4178 its the original xpan: Fuji TX series, and fun fact the hasselblad xpan is a collab work with Fuji back in the days. Therefore, Fuji TX is the ancestor of Hasselblad XPan

"... and I got it at a thrift store for $5" The first time I heard I was so amazed and believed it. As I heard it after each camera, I understood that it was in jest. I did like the video. Great production value. There are too many TH-cam videos created with a goPro that bobs up and down causing me to become seasick.
holy shit I just found this channel and I thought it was going to be a generic photography youtube channel but DAMN. This writing and humor is incredible. Probably because I, like Jason, have no soul.
Getting to the end of the M6, I was repeatedly saying Please say it, please say it, please say it... "...for $5..." And you genuinely had me laughing out loud and pausing the video. I do watch you channel for the analog content, but most of all because your storytelling is so goddamned on point every time, even when doing the usually boring humblebrag-list of "Oh these cameras?"
Absolutely hilarious, every single time, and wonderfully endearing. Wanted to bite the drywall when he said 5 dollars the first time...and then once he said it again, life was okay again.
Photography and aesthetics is such a funny thing. For example, look at the bathroom shot at 8:08. It’s so mundane. But the color and composition is exceptionally pleasing. And a toilet is about as mundane as you can get. But it’s a great picture. Human beings are weird.
Originally thought this dude was on the spectrum for something, but have since grown to appreciate your deadpan delivery. Sick videos mate, cheers from Australia
I've never watched your stuff so I came here expecting a standard TH-cam video and you just came at it with banger line after banger line making me rewind the video to make sure I heard you right, definitely subscribing
I normally don't feel anything, except the urge to pee which is quite useful, but when you told the story of the last camera, I felt something that other beings would describe as beings happy for you, so thank you for making me feel something not pee related
I actually believed the 5 dollar price tag until you got to the Leica M6. Then I laughed out so hard realizing you were probably joking from the beginning.
Glad to see you use the crappy old lenses (my obsession, collection), little jewels they are! Each one is a child to me, each with talents and problems, and oh what wonderful problems! Flare and haze and separation oh my! But I love them all. I'm running a lens orphanage ($5 from a thrift shop, to be sure) - now I'll be wanting to start an unloved camera orphanage (well, to be honest, already getting there...). Thanks for inspiration, validation!
So glad this came on recommended! Not only are you talented beyond belief but I am also ALL here for the dark and soul-less comedy; it fills my own void lol
I have been subscribed for about 24 hours and have already made three purchases. Your credo of bankrupting oneself for the sake of art and adventure is strong.
Your videos are amazing, I love the vibe you give off the the quick wit sprinkled throughout the genuine information you’re putting out. I’m supposed to be getting a SX-70 Sonar today, but anyways keep creating, love everything you’ve put out!
My father gave me his ae-1 he bought new in 1982 and I've been hooked on film for months now. I find myself really wanting to pickup a canon new f1 for the better shutter speed and sweet weather proofing since I hike and backpack a lot.
I say "do it". The F-1 is a solid body and a solid choice. I got a great deal on mine about 32 years ago, and I regret selling it later for a Contax G-1. 😩
I actually hat to watch this twice, because I had missed out on so many things you said, laughing so hard about your last joke. Love the irony and sense of humour in your videos. At the same time they are very educative and useful. Sooo: hot stuff! Left a sub right away.
Enjoyed.....I have a few of the same cameras and lust seriously after a few of the others. But what I mainly collect and love is strictly mechanical cameras . Olympus OM1? A masterpiece of engineering and lens design. Oh....I’m gonna give square space a try, too.
I just decided to sell all my 35mm film cameras and switch to medium format (I'll keep the Leica R6 though, just for sentimental reasons). My digital camera is an Olympus Pen-F, which is particularly designed to being configurable to emulate the look and feel of film. And I think, it does a really good job at this. So, no reason anymore to spend money for 135mm films. Medium format still has a significant and visible advantage over digital, though, so I'm looking for medium format cameras now. Right now, I'm deciding between a Fuji GL690 or a Koni-Omega Rapid. Maybe I buy one of each. My large format cameras are also from Italy, btw, but not from Gibellini. Mine are from Samuele Piccoli, he calls his cameras Stenopeika (don't ask me why). I also have a Polaroid camera, but the new one, which uses Zink paper. I call it my fridge camera, because I usually stick the photos made with it on my fridge.
Thrift store owner: "Then when I wasn't looking, the sonofabitch hightailed it outa here with the camera. Later I noticed that he left five dollar bill on the counter."
I have the Ricoh 28mm 2.8mm lens on a Petri gx1. Awesome. The Pentax 67 with the 55mm F4 rubber grip lens was my camera of choice. I sold it when the prices soared. I have been regretting it ever since.
Dude you got some serious steals at thrift stores😂😂 this video was awesome and made me laugh out loud more than once! I’m loving the Jupiter 12 on my Canon P as well!
Incredible ending lmao.. Btw did you ever investigate the panorama adapter for your Mamiya 7? I think that would have been cheaper if the wide negatives were your goal but hey sweet 0$ camera and Stuart Little DVD
The $5 dollar thrift store gag triggered me every time. The searing jealousy I feel whenever I hear that combo of words is just too much to bear.

Last time I was this early you could buy a Mamiya 7 and still keep both your kidneys. Just a small mortgage would do the trick.
damnnnnn boi its the fuji well-played jason, that grin in ur face when holding the fuji tx means the arrival of madness
I recently saw one of those Budweiser can cameras on Mercari and alllmost bought it because of you. Opted for an actual can of beer instead.
you made the right choice

Man i just got to your videos and boy i love your sense of humor and irony
One last missing jewel in the collection is a Fuji GF670. I’m sure you will find one in the thrift store for $5.
All memes aside, seeing your genuine love for your gear is heart warming.
That is, it would be if I still had a heart.
How much are we willing to bet that Jason refers to it as the Hasselblad x-pain?
I'll start the bid at $5
Love the sarcastic humor together with educational high quality content! Thank you YT algorithm I am now subscriber :)
