IMO Analog rev is the best show on DRTV at the moment. I can tell Ian is really passionate about film and loves doing this, Warren really conveys this well through his videography, these videos are really professionally filmed and edited. They're a pleasure to watch. Thanks guys! :)
I love Ian's approach on how he does his reviews. It's so easy to follow his flow. The editing in the beginning is very creative and a lot more interesting than the other typical intros. Great Work!
I have one of these that I purchased (because of the f/1.9), at a Goodwill store for $1.99! I had no idea how good it was when I bought it, but soon discovered that it has an incredible lens. These have not really been "discovered" in the U.S. yet so they can still be found on the cheap. The weird crumpling and struggling sounds described in the video are normal, and I have never had any problems of any kind with this camera. Get one!
This guy is great! He is alot easier to understand then kai, i love kai don't get me wrong. But for videos that have alot of explaining to them or just discussion this guy is a great choice for those videos!
For starters, these people who talk shit about not needing technicalities and all, aren't DigitalRevTV. DigitalRevTV puts out content whatever they want and however they want
If anything, less Kai content would mean more time for you to polish your photography skills. Though it seems like people who incessantly yearn for Kai and shit over the other presenters are constantly glued to their computers with their cameras collecting dust, as they wait for his weekly return.
I have to say, this was an extremely good, interesting and fun video. You are a great presenter Ian. I think DRTV now has a really great range of presenting styles with Kai, Lok and you, as well as Warren at times, giving totally different reviews. I love the differences and it makes for a very refreshing viewing option. Keep it up lads and thanks for this one. Oh, LOVED the lens cap at the end. After all, who hasn't done that, or similar, at some time?
I love the Hong Kong sights, the street photographer shots and of special note the glimpses of the gorgeous assistants and models! The choice of film was spot on!
This looks like a gold mine for a wide aperture one of a kind film look without breaking your wallet or needing to know in detail technique for photography. Great for casual work.
This brings back so many great memories. My parents had this camera when I was a kid. Pretty much every picture in our albums were taken with the AF35L
Love AnalogRev series! Somehow makes me understand more about photography with film at this digital age. Don't be bothered by the people who trolls the channel, keep up the good work!
These episodes of AnalogRevTV are simply stunning! Please talk about Mamiya 645 and the gorgeous Sekor 80mm F1.9, that I think is one of the fastest medium format lens ever made.
Slowly but surely becoming my favorite show on youtube. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping film stay around awhile! PS. that lens cap at the end, i actually lol. Every photog can feel your pain a little bit.
saw this little camera for 2 dollars at goodwill so decided to look it up and saw you had a video on it therefore I purchased it. my 4 year old brother-in-law fell in love with it so tomorrow I might take him to the local park, put some film in it and let him have some fun with it . gives me a reason to finally use another little cheap camera the minolta x700.
I'm glad these analogue revs have become serious and passionate about film photography. The old episodes with Kai were a bit snarky about the quirks of film
The Canonet QL17 and Minolta Hi-Matic 9 both have apertures f/1.7 so they're both faster than the AF35ML if you're talking compact film cameras with large apertures. Plus they both allow you to select the aperture you want to shoot at! You should do an episode on the Canonet QL17. A brilliant little rangefinder camera that is a blast to shoot with!
This is a great episode, good job guys! I had some kentmere films too! I've shot 2 rolls of them. As a analog beginner, don't know much about films, hope to see more analogrev in the future!
***** of course you can find better models, which will work fine. I live in ex-USSR country, and we have tons of these things selling everywhere lately. I have used Zenit, but I switched to more reliable film cameras years ago
Ha. Got this at goodwill for around $10 US. Loud as all get out and impossible to change the ASA. Still fun and a great walk around camera. Also has a relatively longish minimum focus distance. This review shoes exactly everything you'd should expect.
Really enjoying the AnalogRev shows chaps, more please! Currently enjoying shooting with my Voigtlander R2 with Ilford XP2, makes a change from my usual m43 gear.
I don't know which is more surprising, a new "film" camera or that film is available to buy! Great review. Really like this reviewer. Great information thanks.
As much as it sucks not having manual options I think you took some of your best photos in this episode haha. I have a Canon sure shot that I shot expired color film in on the side with my Canon A1 loaded with black and white and I found that when it nailed the focus and exposure I liked my sure shot photos more than most of my black and whites. it's a different mind set you gotta get into and sometimes it is nice to not worry about the settings. I take out my compacts on occasion just cause. Also I think you weren't getting down to 1.9 cause program modes on any camera usually open the aperture depending on the ev, like it will only open up all the way if you're at it's lowest possible end of exposure so you'll need real dim lighting, like around sunset. Loving Analog Rev and how fancy the presentation is! Keep it up!
I thought whether the film lays flat or not on the scanner bed had nothing to do with film types! Because pretty much all films I've used so far curled so much that I have to put them in the sleeves, use some heavy books to lay them for like a week, or maybe more, and then I can scan. If Kentmere can lay flat right after it's dried, I'm all for that. (Too bad I rarely shoot black and white)
man the pics are awesome. why digital compacts today not able to make the same look? Ricoh GRD series used to be able to make this kind of feel, but the newer GR series sucked. no "feel" like film cameras anymore.
the fuji natura black has the same speed of lens but is specifically programmed to select wider apertures and faster shutter speeds as it is intended for low light shooting. I would call it faster :)
as an aussie, i would say he's half way in between. like someone who learned most of their english from TV, and not their parents, but it is certainly NOT overly american
Alexander Tamayo for sure. it's what i call synthetic english. it has a "proper" sound to it. like university educated aswell, with asian parents who probably don't speak english at home, thus skipping all the slang
There was an auxilary lens kit that was produced by "Focal" for that camera. Yeah, Focal was KMart's camera lens... Anyhow, you could place a wide angle or zoom lens in front of the Canon and the whole thing actually looked very impressive and professional. Didn't do a darn thing for the photo, but you sure looked good doing it.
This one got me interested in analog cameras. After years I decided I will buy one, can anyone give me some recommendations for a good compact up to $50 preferably? Thank you
For $50 or less there's a lot of possible cameras to choose from, film compacts are not really expensive. It's really a question of what exactly are you looking for. Whether you'd like something that works without batteries and is all manual, or something more modern wth AF and all that. I'd go for a Minolta Hi-matic 7/9 rangefinder but you might want something smaller or more automatic...
You could go more conventional and buy a Canon EOS 5/A2, or a Rebel film. They use the current EF mount lenses, can be used in Manual, and have decent auto focus. Not as nostalgic as the other stuff but they are good film cameras by virtue of the glass available. Otherwise one of my favorites would be a Pentax K1000, it's what I learned with in our High School Camera Club back in the late 70's, as did many many other people.
0:34 I thought he's gonna get hit by the train :D
LoLz me too! :D
yeah same, was looking for this comment
I actually said out loud "watch out!"
+dumkopf :D
That's Davis Street in Kennedy Town, the tram turns left, and he's standing on a traffic island.
Whoever's filming these AnalogRev is doing a great job..especially these opening sequences. Give the guy a raise.
IMO Analog rev is the best show on DRTV at the moment. I can tell Ian is really passionate about film and loves doing this, Warren really conveys this well through his videography, these videos are really professionally filmed and edited. They're a pleasure to watch. Thanks guys! :)

Ian almost got ran over at the start lolol
Great episode. I love these.
No he didn't.
I've been waiting for this all day, thank you. This is the best photography show on TH-cam. Analogrev kills it.
I have one of these that I purchased (because of the f/1.9), at a Goodwill store for $1.99! I had no idea how good it was when I bought it, but soon discovered that it has an incredible lens. These have not really been "discovered" in the U.S. yet so they can still be found on the cheap. The weird crumpling and struggling sounds described in the video are normal, and I have never had any problems of any kind with this camera. Get one!
These are some of the nicest videos out there on TH-cam. They deserve so many more views.
Analogue rev is quickly becoming my favourite on the channel, another awesome video :D
Great video guys, really beautiful photography and lots of info without being dull. Really love this series
i agree.. they are doing AnalogRev some justice. :)
This guy is great! He is alot easier to understand then kai, i love kai don't get me wrong. But for videos that have alot of explaining to them or just discussion this guy is a great choice for those videos!
they don't understand sarcasm, comments like these will just make them put out more videos with these losers
For starters, these people who talk shit about not needing technicalities and all, aren't DigitalRevTV. DigitalRevTV puts out content whatever they want and however they want
If anything, less Kai content would mean more time for you to polish your photography skills. Though it seems like people who incessantly yearn for Kai and shit over the other presenters are constantly glued to their computers with their cameras collecting dust, as they wait for his weekly return.
murdock well said man, had me clapping by the end
Agreed. Great episode.
Production value has really improved at drev. The new guys in HK are doing a great job! Thumbs up!
I have to say, this was an extremely good, interesting and fun video. You are a great presenter Ian. I think DRTV now has a really great range of presenting styles with Kai, Lok and you, as well as Warren at times, giving totally different reviews. I love the differences and it makes for a very refreshing viewing option. Keep it up lads and thanks for this one. Oh, LOVED the lens cap at the end. After all, who hasn't done that, or similar, at some time?
I love the Hong Kong sights, the street photographer shots and of special note the glimpses of the gorgeous assistants and models! The choice of film was spot on!
it would be immensely cool if analog rev was shot on film.
shoot it on super 8 film. Kodak is making it again.
my words! Or a movie cam rev, filmed with the same model in front of the lens.
Kodak never stopped, they just make an insanely bad ass camera for it now
It would be incredibly expensive and cumbersome, unfortunately.
This looks like a gold mine for a wide aperture one of a kind film look without breaking your wallet or needing to know in detail technique for photography. Great for casual work.
One of the better camera reviews I've seen online. Informative, honest and even funny in parts
We NEED more of AnalogRev !!!
this guy might save DRTV
Nic too late 😿
Ruined it.
Ian gave good advice for us street photographers:a guy sharpening his meat clever is not someone to get angry.
LMAO
That's still better than an American homeless guy. You can't be sure he doesn't have a gun and 'accidentally' pull the trigger on you.
i mean it's quite obvious
Damon Lam You're very close to being a racist
You obviously never spent time with them. Nicest bunch you can find and I am zero sarcastic.
AnalogRev is just beautifully shot and cut, it's a pleasure to watch, please do more of the series
I love the analog Rev series, keep it up guys!
This brings back so many great memories. My parents had this camera when I was a kid. Pretty much every picture in our albums were taken with the AF35L
I love my Canon AF35ML. Fun & Easy Compact to use. Great episode you guys. Long live Film!
I've had one of these for years. It's been my go-to point and shoot for many many trips
I really wish there were more AnalogRev videos on this channel
I am so glad you are presenting now instead of Lok, you are SO much better!
Finally an episode of AnalogRev that won't leave me destitute! I can't wait for the Olympus Trip 35 episode which I hope is coming someday soon.
Love the sophistication but not boringness of this video. Continue to make these type of videos.
Love AnalogRev series! Somehow makes me understand more about photography with film at this digital age. Don't be bothered by the people who trolls the channel, keep up the good work!

PS. that lens cap at the end, i actually lol. Every photog can feel your pain a little bit.
I just bought this camera and it’s my first analog, I’m so excited to shoot with it!!
Thanks for doing more analog rev lately
You brought Analog Rev to a new Level! Thanks for that!
lol! The last bit!
btw, love you guys! Nice video.
I will be shifting from Digital to Analog some day
>I will be shifting from Digital to Analog some day
are you daft?
+レトロアートVideos I don't see an issue with shooting film...
+レトロアートVideos what's wrong?
it is not the issue with shooting film, it is bizarre and even eerie for a photographer to SHIFT (completely or mostly) from digital to film nowadays.
thank you for keeping analog alive bois!
saw this little camera for 2 dollars at goodwill so decided to look it up and saw you had a video on it therefore I purchased it. my 4 year old brother-in-law fell in love with it so tomorrow I might take him to the local park, put some film in it and let him have some fun with it . gives me a reason to finally use another little cheap camera the minolta x700.
Such a good series and beautiful look to the video
The cinematography for AnalogRev is just great. It makes it that much more enjoyable to watch :)
love the colour grading you do to these digital rev episodes.. looks very retro, very nice.
These AnalogRevs are amazing. More film camera reviews plz.
a real sence of good-old digitalrev, great work guys!
I'm glad these analogue revs have become serious and passionate about film photography. The old episodes with Kai were a bit snarky about the quirks of film

Please talk about Fuji medium format rangefinders. 690!
Thank you so much for all the analogRev content! Love it so much! Has brought me back to the channel. Keep it up please :)
Such an equally good, but equally different type of video from when these were done by Kai in HK.
Ian's doing an excellent job
Good job Ian! I sure miss Kai, but I think you do a pretty good job too! :)
I feel like Warren and Ian's videos have higher production quality?
At the very least they get more artistic B-roll footage.
Giving Ian a camera with auto focus: Best decision so far! The images look really great.
when are we going to get another analogrev?!
Kentmere 100 is my bulk roll 35mm! Glad you loved it
This is a great episode, good job guys! I had some kentmere films too! I've shot 2 rolls of them. As a analog beginner, don't know much about films, hope to see more analogrev in the future!
YESSSS. I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ONE BRAND NEW UNOPENED . MY PARENTS NEVER USED IT SO I WILL !
Or better yet, sell it. A new unopened film camera can be sold for a LOT of cash these days
***** It's almost everything
I also have a AF35-2 only used twice ... do people actually buy it ?
Manan Khandelwal There's always gonna be buyers. If you have no interest in using it then you could sell it. Someone else might treasure it.
This is great more Warren and Ian please!!
I forgot I had this film camera. Gotta start using it again for sure
These intros... holy shit they're incredible.
Try to use USSR cameras like Zenith or Kiev. Now they cost about 30$
They have some great lenses, but mechanics are very unreliable
Mārtiņš Eglītis this is true) but i still use my g.dad's camera and it works ok)
***** of course you can find better models, which will work fine. I live in ex-USSR country, and we have tons of these things selling everywhere lately. I have used Zenit, but I switched to more reliable film cameras years ago
+Mārtiņš Eglītis buy from someone like Fedka where they're pre-tested and you should be good
I got Kiev with 50mm lens .. works, but is hard.
This new guy is doing a good job ! Kai was sometimes funny, but sometimes I found him a bit annoying too.
same
Kai was awesome! He was what made this channel great
I like the quality, visuals and setup of these Analog camera reviews. Keep it up Digitalrev team.
Epic but funny fail in the end. I realy like that DRTV format. please keep doing AnalogRev forever :)
Ha. Got this at goodwill for around $10 US. Loud as all get out and impossible to change the ASA. Still fun and a great walk around camera. Also has a relatively longish minimum focus distance. This review shoes exactly everything you'd should expect.
"Shows"
4:03 Ian reads APUG! Cool. Keep 'em coming.
nice calm video and the music is also well chosen. :)
Really enjoying the AnalogRev shows chaps, more please!
Currently enjoying shooting with my Voigtlander R2 with Ilford XP2, makes a change from my usual m43 gear.
i just love AnalogRev. And that end...xD
awesome! Rita came out
.. wiggle wiggle wiggle. I will be reviewing this camera too soon. I like the look of it.
More AnalogRev pls.
I don't know which is more surprising, a new "film" camera or that film is available to buy! Great review. Really like this reviewer. Great information thanks.
I bought one of these a couple years ago because it was super 80s and had a 1.9 lens. I rand a roll through it, but I haven't developed it yet.
Review canonet ql17 pleaseee
What a beautiful video! The cinematography was great. Please more like this :)
Guys what happened to AnalogRev??? We've been waiting forever!
At 4:33 dat guy sharpening his knife noticed the cameraman. hahahah xD
As much as it sucks not having manual options I think you took some of your best photos in this episode haha. I have a Canon sure shot that I shot expired color film in on the side with my Canon A1 loaded with black and white and I found that when it nailed the focus and exposure I liked my sure shot photos more than most of my black and whites. it's a different mind set you gotta get into and sometimes it is nice to not worry about the settings.

Loving Analog Rev and how fancy the presentation is! Keep it up!
More analog rev please!
Great video, great host, love the pictures and the limitations of the camera design didn't limit cool looking pictures!
I'm in love with the Fujica AX-1
The Kentmere negatives lay very flat for scanning. Tri-X, not so much . . .
I thought whether the film lays flat or not on the scanner bed had nothing to do with film types! Because pretty much all films I've used so far curled so much that I have to put them in the sleeves, use some heavy books to lay them for like a week, or maybe more, and then I can scan. If Kentmere can lay flat right after it's dried, I'm all for that. (Too bad I rarely shoot black and white)
man the pics are awesome. why digital compacts today not able to make the same look? Ricoh GRD series used to be able to make this kind of feel, but the newer GR series sucked. no "feel" like film cameras anymore.
Really loving these analog reviews! You should do the classic Olympus Trip 35 next
More AnalogRev, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more please! Please!
the fuji natura black has the same speed of lens but is specifically programmed to select wider apertures and faster shutter speeds as it is intended for low light shooting. I would call it faster :)
Wait, Ian is from England?! I would've never guessed
yeah, same here. Thought he was American
Yeah, he doesn't sound British at all...
as an aussie, i would say he's half way in between. like someone who learned most of their english from TV, and not their parents, but it is certainly NOT overly american
Alexander Tamayo for sure. it's what i call synthetic english. it has a "proper" sound to it. like university educated aswell, with asian parents who probably don't speak english at home, thus skipping all the slang
Yeah me neither, he doesn't sound English.
That was a nice video. Especially for me as I'm trying analog photography recently.
i miss these types of videos
There was an auxilary lens kit that was produced by "Focal" for that camera. Yeah, Focal was KMart's camera lens... Anyhow, you could place a wide angle or zoom lens in front of the Canon and the whole thing actually looked very impressive and professional. Didn't do a darn thing for the photo, but you sure looked good doing it.
Nice episode Ian and Warren! Could you do an episode featuring a Ricoh GR film camera(s)?
This one got me interested in analog cameras. After years I decided I will buy one, can anyone give me some recommendations for a good compact up to $50 preferably? Thank you
+Acolz Ricoh 500GX
For $50 or less there's a lot of possible cameras to choose from, film compacts are not really expensive. It's really a question of what exactly are you looking for. Whether you'd like something that works without batteries and is all manual, or something more modern wth AF and all that. I'd go for a Minolta Hi-matic 7/9 rangefinder but you might want something smaller or more automatic...
yashica electro gsn or varients
Hi, for a small, auto film camera I find the olympus mju II to be a great buy. It's cheap and has a wonderful lens. Cheers, Jon
You could go more conventional and buy a Canon EOS 5/A2, or a Rebel film. They use the current EF mount lenses, can be used in Manual, and have decent auto focus. Not as nostalgic as the other stuff but they are good film cameras by virtue of the glass available. Otherwise one of my favorites would be a Pentax K1000, it's what I learned with in our High School Camera Club back in the late 70's, as did many many other people.
the videography is beautiful
Very nice video. Thanks for the fantastic explanations ☺
Are these episodes shot in 4k and downscaled? It looks incredible
Review Yashica electro rangersfinders or canonet rangefinders!
Bought this camera because of this video! Already own an AE-1 but I wanted to try a point and shoot
Kentmere does very good budget films, I shoot them sometimes and they're very very good for the price!
this camera is really comparable to the minolta himatic af2. the himatic af2 is not autowinding but it is autofocus :)
Can we get a whole analog-rev channel?
