Oh man, I liked the way you picked the expensive Olympus because you thought it'll give you the best results, but the Minolta smoked that Olympus, but then I knew it would. Minolta always made awesome lenses and meters. The minolta lens used was very sharp with great colour rendition.
The Minolta performed excellently, but that Olympus is a great camera too. I own the exact same model. It probably looked shitty because of the expired film he was using.
The Olympus (mju) stylus series are well proven and well renowned cameras, the expired film definitely will have made a difference but the pics from the Minolta were really nice and those big finder models are everywhere in charity shops in the UK and car boot sales, I might have to grab one next time I see one cheap at one.
These images are more beautiful to me than any of the latest digital camera even though they are done with the small plastic point and shoot cameras which are excellent!
The beauty of film cameras is you can live the shots as they come out of the camera or you can scan them and edit them. Best of both worlds!!! Boy you had a lot to choose from.
+Coleman Mullins yeah it did! Were trying to make sure to use the same fresh film from now on when were trying to do side by side comparisons on the channel :)
I live in Ventura!!!! I was thinking the inside of the thrift stores looked like the ones downtown and then you mention the pier! I literally laughed out loud when I recognized the harbor. Too. Cool.
My best find was a Yashica T2 with a roll of Fuji for $3.21 recently. I had no idea what I stumbled upon until my friend filled me in! Still gotta test it out, ordered a new battery for it yesterday.
just picked up my first film cameras from goodwill, an olympus xa2 and a marlboro branded canon sure shot owl fa for about $5 each. stoked to start shooting film.
just found a canon ae1 over at the VC swapmeet for 29 bucks my first film camera gonna play around with it for a while! cant wait to get some film for it
I'm just gonna put this out there, both you guys are really good! But beardless dude has an EYE. The feet, the kid playing in front of the taco stand, even the basic pier pics.. I want to get that way man. And bearded dude reminds me of my buddy, who I really like, so he's the bomb too automatically. Print exchange huh? Ever come around OC?
Those were some great camera scores. My most recent and (what I think was) my best thrift shop score was a couple of Canon SLRs - an AE-1 Program and a somewhat "well-used" but still functional F-1. The F-1 had a macro 50mm with extension tube installed and the AE-1 just had a body cap. They both needed batteries but they both worked. Total for both was less than $20. About 2 weeks later found a Canon flash and a 50mm 1.8 lens (lens was $5.99 and flash was $2.99). The batteries were more expensive, but they both work. I like the AE-1 better, but the F-1 is cooler looking. Cheers.
Flash is a Canon 199A. Oh, and the AE-1 Program came with a power winder (Power Winder D, I think). I'll have to take a pic and send it along. The story continues: Was out at the GW today and found a Canon EOS Rebel XSN Date. Out the door was $19.97. Had a 35-80mm Canon zoom (but no VU-1 or other protective filter over the lens - I'll have to get one - but the lens looked fine). Biggest pain in the butt was finding the CR123A batteries for it. I tried Walmart and Target (pegs but no batteries) - so wound up dropping $22. and change for a set of two batteries (ouch) at Walgreens. The camera still had film in it (I opened up the back to inspect it, and discovered the contents). Some the exposed film will be washed out, but who knows what's already on it. I'm killing the roll, and will see if all it needed was batteries. Wish me luck. Would love to see more thrifted cameras being pressed back into service.
I love the actual shots of inside of the stores. That is always the most exciting part. Photos were spectacular too. Best thrift store find........tough, but I'm gonna say my SX-70 alpha one $15.00 at a thrift store. Cant wait to see more of this stuff from you guys.
Nice video! I went thrifting yesterday and found an olympus trip 500. Not the highly sought after stylus epic but still a cool find. I shoot film photography on my channel, would love for you to come check it out! Also your thrift shops seem to have a lot of cool camera gear!
Looks like I need to find myself a Minolta AF BigFinder :) ! I am totally hooked on that perfect balance between crispness and that old movie feel! Anyone in New Zealand know where to get one?
I found a cool Canon Sure Shot Owl for 99 cents at Goodwill. I bought some film and I’ve taken a few shots so far. I’m excited to see how the pictures come out!
Once I found a 35mm viewfinder at a thrift store for $30. It's a little more expensive than what you're shooting, but after a bit of research, it turns out the camera is actually from the mid 40's. It's a rangefinder that would have been used by photojournalists at the time. It was definitely a great find. I'll be selling it here pretty soon for around $100.
Great video guys! I have the same both cameras here in Spain. The Minolta is the one I use for parties and stuff like that and the Olympus is the one I use on my trips. Love them!! I've dicovered your channel lately and I really enjoy the stuff you make. And I'm improving my English too...I hope so! Gracias amigos, que siga la fiesta!
LOVED this video! Appreciate the fact that you developed and showed the photos afterwards (too many vids don't show you and it's just hard to tell if the cam is good based on information about it), and that you had both expired and non-expired film to show (as I often shoot with both and never know what to expect). Great vid. Great finds, too.
It seems like the big finder was a feature on some film cameras. Like, almost as if it was a separate company that sold viewfinders to Minolta and other companies. What makes me think that, is I have a Canon Af-8 with the big finder and a Oly trip xb-3 and it also has the big finder and they look soo similar. Pretty interesting. Another funny thing is, those cameras have a better viewfinder than my Nikon D3300 which was like 1000 times the price of any of my film cameras!
Oh yeah, the Af-8 and the owl are the same camera. I live in Europe, so here it's called the AF-8 and in the US it's called the Owl. Weird that they do that. Marketing I guess. Anyway that's a great camera too. I got one in a original box looked to have never been loaded with film for the equivalent of $5! It's my favorite camera atm.
I found a cannon sure shot A1 at goodwill for $7.99!! I put a battery in it, and it works perfectly. I live in the pacific northwest, so the fact i have a waterproof camera is so rad because the rain isn't a problem anymore!!
loved your video...thank you! As for me, specific to still cameras, I picked up a 1980 Minolta Weathermatic A (cool yellow) with the box for $4. I also found a Canon 310 xl Super 8 camera for $15 that works amazingly well!
I recently bought a bunch of 35mm cameras this year 2017 so far from area thrift stores. I never really stopped shooting film. But i started to see them cheap at the stores for under a dollar or up to 2 bucks. I have that same Minolta i found but havent shot with it. I thought of letting my grandma shoot some pictures with it on her next trip with the seniors. Since the large view finder will be easy for her to see..lol But awesome channel. Beside 35mm, i busted out my first 110 camera my mom got me in 1982. I got film from Lomography.. hoping to finish the roll soon. I also shot super 8mm, but lately prices have been getting kind of expensive, hoping kodak with Ektachrome the prices may get somewhat cheaper. Back in the 90s i could buy kodachrome super 8mm for 10 bucks and 3 dollar develop at walmart. Have you tried regular 8mm yet? I recently was given a kodak brownie 8mm from my uncle, i order 8mm b&w film from B&H so im going to try it out.
It's so funny stumbling on this video after finding an interest in film photography as of late. My father was actually the one to open that case for you that said stuff about it being "lo-fi" lmao. What a small world we live in!
I enjoyed this "hanging" with you guys type video. Just picked up a Minolta freedom zoom 90c today at the thrift shop for $1. Can't wait to try it out. I kinda think it stinks that folks don't use real cameras anymore. But that's why we can get these awesome cameras for so cheap I guess. I'll let ya know how it went after I get the battery, etc.
Good job, guys! Wouldn't expect the pictures to be so great. Just got into filmshooting, so thnx for inspo, you captured nice moments (especially the feet on the bench). :) All the best to you.
Great video guys! That exact same camera you found, the Stylus Epic Zoom 80, was actually the camera that ignited my passion for photography. My friend found one in his dad's drawer and gave it to me years ago, and the rest is history. Great little camera, except for the super slow zoom lens! The version with the prime lens is the one to go for, but they're reeeeeeally expensive.
Not 100% sure, maybe the smaller towns where I live have something to do with it. Things over the last year have changed though, not getting the good bargains I used to get, prices of things I do find in charity shops have sky rocketed :( Look forward to what you have planned :)
Richard Rollinson Photographer you should try Australia, so exxy! They google everything that comes in and charge eBay prices for the crappiest camera.
Recently found your channel and now I am a stalker, I mean follower...Some of my favorite throw in a bag and go cameras are my thrift store finds..A Canon Sure Shot 115U for 65 cents is one of my favorites, and my little Olympus Infinity Stylus for 99 cents is another go to. Enjoying all that you share on your channel!
The other week I got a 1970s polaroid colour snap camera for £5 (sadly can't get the film for it anymore) and in the same shop I got a Mansfield holiday 2 cine camera for £12
It's honestly hard to believe the image quality of the Minolta. Were the images edited in any way? I honestly might pick one up on ebay because I was loving those pics!
I tried doing a video like this a while ago, but ended up accidentally exposing half of the film and just got sad. But great video, the photos came out great! That minolta is so good
once i went to a thrift store and found two brand new books still in their sealed plastic packages for 50c each when they usually sell for at least $15! such a good find!
The photos taken on the minolta were stunning, it's a shame an expired film was used in the olympus, I feel it didn't do the camera justice. Would love to see more like this though :) I need to get a lil old point and shoot!
i know the camera isn't film, but my favourite thrift find was a Canon Powershot S230 (2002, 3.2MP, 2X Zoom) in box with all the original accessories & documents for $10
Found a Sony digital mavica 73 that was fun to play with ($2.50) Also found a fujifilm 14mp 24x zoom bridge camera. ($7) Love that one. Never tried film. Always found it expensive
i gonna find that minolta in my country , I'm new in film camera stuff , a lot thing to learn! , btw what film did you use? was that fujifilm 200mm? please let me know , I'm deadly wanna learn shooting film camera , pleaseeee
Amazing video.While using Minolta AF Bigfinder , did u used inbuilt flash all the time while shooting? Because it is point and shoot, some people says using inbuilt flash is important.
Where do you recommend getting your film developed and whats the usual price you pay for developing your roll? Love the video! Make more of the $20 challenge. Really fun to watch.
My favorite find was a Nikon F photomic TN for 10 bucks at a Salvation army thrift store, they thought it was broke, but it works fine, it was missing the battery door on the viewfinder but I found one online, I'm a Nikon fanboy if I'm being honest, I have quite the collection going lol
Looks like the color on the Minolta was better than the Olympus, which was surprising, but then again you said the film was very expired, so perhaps if two rolls of fresh film were used, the results probably would have been similar, because both camera brands are very good.
Oh man, I liked the way you picked the expensive Olympus because you thought it'll give you the best results, but the Minolta smoked that Olympus, but then I knew it would. Minolta always made awesome lenses and meters. The minolta lens used was very sharp with great colour rendition.
The Minolta performed excellently, but that Olympus is a great camera too. I own the exact same model. It probably looked shitty because of the expired film he was using.
The Olympus (mju) stylus series are well proven and well renowned cameras, the expired film definitely will have made a difference but the pics from the Minolta were really nice and those big finder models are everywhere in charity shops in the UK and car boot sales, I might have to grab one next time I see one cheap at one.
Colors and sharpness from that Minolta are insane. Loved all of the shots, keep it up guys, love seeing more film content on YT
Alex Rodriguez ayy your profile pic is a photo i took back in 2014 lmaoo
How to make minolta sharper?
looks like it was maybe because the Olympus was shot with expired film- heavy grain and desaturated- but idk.
Nikon better
I was actually gonna do a video with that Bell & Howell plastic camera sometime. I used to take that thing hiking all of the time!
+Matt Day that was definitely the next camera I would have picked to use in this video! Gonna have to get out and shoot it!
AwesomeCameras I owned one of the bell and Howell. Super easy to mod for multiple exposures too
No more caneras Matt, otherwise hand mee the leica ;)
Caleb Allen Can you elaborate on how to mod the camera? Thanks
MAN loving the Minolta shots
Super Sharp and punchie
I scored an Olympus Stylus yesterday for 99¢!!!! I was pretty excited lol
+Abby Pena niiiice! Thats what its all about! Good find!
Man, if you did the thrift store challenge 10 years ago, you would've had so many amazing film cameras to choose from
These images are more beautiful to me than any of the latest digital camera even though they are done with the small plastic point and shoot cameras which are excellent!
thanks so much!!
Yes! Somebody said it. Those images have colours and a feel to them that no digital camera can ever replicate.
Great episode! Would love to see more of these.
Matthew French thanks Matt! ya we have some fun stuff planned!
The beauty of film cameras is you can live the shots as they come out of the camera or you can scan them and edit them. Best of both worlds!!! Boy you had a lot to choose from.
I'm super impressed with the Minolta Big Finder AF. The results were great and with that big view finder I bet composing shots is a breeze.
i liked the minolta more consistent and liked the colour and sharpness
The minolta won for sure. The colors are so vibrant with that film
+Coleman Mullins yeah it did! Were trying to make sure to use the same fresh film from now on when were trying to do side by side comparisons on the channel :)
I live in Ventura!!!! I was thinking the inside of the thrift stores looked like the ones downtown and then you mention the pier! I literally laughed out loud when I recognized the harbor. Too. Cool.
I like Derek's shots. It's interesting. Especially the deck pillars in the water.
Derek is the GOAT!
the american version of negative feedback
My best find was a Yashica T2 with a roll of Fuji for $3.21 recently. I had no idea what I stumbled upon until my friend filled me in! Still gotta test it out, ordered a new battery for it yesterday.
+Nick Macedo nice! Good score!
just picked up my first film cameras from goodwill, an olympus xa2 and a marlboro branded canon sure shot owl fa for about $5 each. stoked to start shooting film.
just found a canon ae1 over at the VC swapmeet for 29 bucks my first film camera gonna play around with it for a while! cant wait to get some film for it
The Minolta one slayed
I'm just gonna put this out there, both you guys are really good! But beardless dude has an EYE. The feet, the kid playing in front of the taco stand, even the basic pier pics.. I want to get that way man. And bearded dude reminds me of my buddy, who I really like, so he's the bomb too automatically. Print exchange huh? Ever come around OC?
ironic too because the the bearded dude looks like more artsy lol. never judge a book by its cover haha
Seeing this kind of stuff want to make me hit some thrift stores! Finding the things are as fun as taking and seeing the pictures
+Shohei Etzel do it! Get out there!
One of my favorite cameras I picked up at a thrift store is the Pentax IQZoom EZY-R. Excellent camera with great photos.
yesss, those are great cameras!!
this is awesome, I wish I watched these sorts of video's before leaping into modern day dslr, great stuff guys. this is photography
+Alastair Coe that shouldnt stop you from picking up some cheap point and shoots!
AwesomeCameras no definatley not, next free chance I get I'm going off to see what I can find :)

Cheers.
+Paul in AZ niiiiice! I need more canon AE1s in my life!
Flash is a Canon 199A.
Oh, and the AE-1 Program came with a power winder (Power Winder D, I think). I'll have to take a pic and send it along.
The story continues:
Was out at the GW today and found a Canon EOS Rebel XSN Date. Out the door was $19.97.

Wish me luck.
Would love to see more thrifted cameras being pressed back into service.
The composition choices of the Minolta user were more compelling to me.
I concur
Managed to find an Olympus MJU Zoom 115 for 1 pound yesterday, with film and battery loaded 💯!!
ha! free film and battery!! I love it!!!
If you had fun then you scored.
Amen brother!
very entertaining video, great watch. The minolta really came through!
+Synthesizer Wiggler 303 ya, that thing is solid!
If you told me the shots from the Minolta were from a DSLR I'll believe you. Smooth as butter, great shots! 🍴
*Love thrifting for old Analog Cameras!* 🙌You found some pretty great deals -- I recently scored an old Canon Demi EE17!
I love the actual shots of inside of the stores. That is always the most exciting part. Photos were spectacular too. Best thrift store find........tough, but I'm gonna say my SX-70 alpha one $15.00 at a thrift store. Cant wait to see more of this stuff from you guys.
+gopernoper great score on an sx-70!
Nice video! I went thrifting yesterday and found an olympus trip 500. Not the highly sought after stylus epic but still a cool find. I shoot film photography on my channel, would love for you to come check it out! Also your thrift shops seem to have a lot of cool camera gear!
+KingJvpes all those autofocus olympus models are very underrated! Love shooting with them!
You guys need to do a collaboration video. Love both of your very different but awesome styles!
Looks like I need to find myself a Minolta AF BigFinder :) ! I am totally hooked on that perfect balance between crispness and that old movie feel! Anyone in New Zealand know where to get one?
Cool scores ... right now my fav is a Canon Sure Shot. It has a sharp 38mm f2.8 lens.
I found a cool Canon Sure Shot Owl for 99 cents at Goodwill. I bought some film and I’ve taken a few shots so far. I’m excited to see how the pictures come out!
Very cool, really enjoyed this. Great idea, you both seemed to be having fun with it. I hope to see more of your cheap camera challenges.

+Will Gotsch which model camera was it?
AwesomeCameras it was the argus model c-4
+Will Gotsch oh nice! Arguses are great!
Absolutely. It still works extremely well too.
the guy with the minolta had some amazing photos!!
Great video guys! I have the same both cameras here in Spain. The Minolta is the one I use for parties and stuff like that and the Olympus is the one I use on my trips. Love them!! I've dicovered your channel lately and I really enjoy the stuff you make. And I'm improving my English too...I hope so!
Gracias amigos, que siga la fiesta!
Glad to have you here! Thanks for watching!
I wish we have that kind of thrift store in my country i want to start photography
Loved the results you got at the boat harbor and at the pier! Great Job!
LOVED this video! Appreciate the fact that you developed and showed the photos afterwards (too many vids don't show you and it's just hard to tell if the cam is good based on information about it), and that you had both expired and non-expired film to show (as I often shoot with both and never know what to expect).

Anyway that's a great camera too. I got one in a original box looked to have never been loaded with film for the equivalent of $5! It's my favorite camera atm.
I got a Yashica T4 with the Carl Zeiss T* Tessar 35mm f3.5 lens for 1 euro recently.
HOWWW
I found a cannon sure shot A1 at goodwill for $7.99!! I put a battery in it, and it works perfectly. I live in the pacific northwest, so the fact i have a waterproof camera is so rad because the rain isn't a problem anymore!!
First vid I watched on this channel, nice one! Love the pictures!
Welcome!! thanks so much for the kind works Eddy!!
loved your video...thank you! As for me, specific to still cameras, I picked up a 1980 Minolta Weathermatic A (cool yellow) with the box for $4. I also found a Canon 310 xl Super 8 camera for $15 that works amazingly well!
Nice, I picked up a lightly used Pentax Spotmatic with an Asahi Super-Takumar 50mm f / 1.4 for $10 yesterday. With the Pentax leather case, too! haha
damn! nice! that 1.4 is an amazing lens!!!
I recently bought a bunch of 35mm cameras this year 2017 so far from area thrift stores. I never really stopped shooting film. But i started to see them cheap at the stores for under a dollar or up to 2 bucks. I have that same Minolta i found but havent shot with it.

Have you tried regular 8mm yet? I recently was given a kodak brownie 8mm from my uncle, i order 8mm b&w film from B&H so im going to try it out.
I just found a Ricoh 500 me for £10 in a charity shop here in the UK. Awesome lens
Nice score!
It's so funny stumbling on this video after finding an interest in film photography as of late. My father was actually the one to open that case for you that said stuff about it being "lo-fi" lmao. What a small world we live in!
I prefer the first camera, i love the old school, vintage look to the pictures
I enjoyed this "hanging" with you guys type video. Just picked up a Minolta freedom zoom 90c today at the thrift shop for $1. Can't wait to try it out. I kinda think it stinks that folks don't use real cameras anymore. But that's why we can get these awesome cameras for so cheap I guess. I'll let ya know how it went after I get the battery, etc.
Good job, guys! Wouldn't expect the pictures to be so great. Just got into filmshooting, so thnx for inspo, you captured nice moments (especially the feet on the bench). :) All the best to you.
+Eliška Lajdová thanks so much for the kind words, and keep shooting film...
I love this challenge! Neat video and love the journey of camera hunting.
thanks for watching!! you rock!
Great video guys! That exact same camera you found, the Stylus Epic Zoom 80, was actually the camera that ignited my passion for photography.

Love stuff like this, wish we had better thrift/charity shops here in the UK though. My best find to date is a Nikon FM2n for £5
+Richard Rollinson Photographer I've heard that about the UK, why do you think the thrift shops aren't very good or there?
Not 100% sure, maybe the smaller towns where I live have something to do with it. Things over the last year have changed though, not getting the good bargains I used to get, prices of things I do find in charity shops have sky rocketed :( Look forward to what you have planned :)
Richard Rollinson Photographer you should try Australia, so exxy! They google everything that comes in and charge eBay prices for the crappiest camera.
Which one had the light leak? There was a shot of the boat looked underexposed on one of those cameras but overall fun to shoot with these.
Recently found your channel and now I am a stalker, I mean follower...Some of my favorite throw in a bag and go cameras are my thrift store finds..A Canon Sure Shot 115U for 65 cents is one of my favorites, and my little Olympus Infinity Stylus for 99 cents is another go to.

+Larissa Spell thanks so much for watching
I swear if someone takes a picture of my feet while sleeping and then uploading it to youtube, they're asking for an ass kickin 😂
+Mr. Poopchillan would you be able to recognize your feet?
+AwesomeCameras Most likely, yes. It's not like I change my feet everyday. Besides, the location can recognizable if I was local also.
Ahh now I wanna do this! Loved this video & the pictures!!
+rena cliiifforrdd thanks so much! Thrifting cameras is always fun!
AwesomeCameras no problem!! & I'd say so, since thrifting in general is so fun!!
The other week I got a 1970s polaroid colour snap camera for £5 (sadly can't get the film for it anymore) and in the same shop I got a Mansfield holiday 2 cine camera for £12
It's honestly hard to believe the image quality of the Minolta. Were the images edited in any way? I honestly might pick one up on ebay because I was loving those pics!
+Justin Derato nope, that's exactly how they came from the lab! We were blown away as well!
AwesomeCameras wow
Minolta was bought by SONY and became the basis for their highly successful ALPHA cameras
how the ffff are these cams always so low in america???!!!!! Where im at (Spain) inst that bad, but average is 20-40eur for cams like those
I tried doing a video like this a while ago, but ended up accidentally exposing half of the film and just got sad. But great video, the photos came out great! That minolta is so good
+Monica Henriquez gotta get back on that horse and put in a new roll!
I liked the feet shot the best probably. Good job guys.
I love that one too, that was Derek!
once i went to a thrift store and found two brand new books still in their sealed plastic packages for 50c each when they usually sell for at least $15! such a good find!
I used to live in that area and when I saw how you guys portrayed it I was very impressed
+The Melissa Burns thanks! And thanks for watching!
is not the camera, it's the photographer. love your photos.
+mariana gil escobar amen! Thanks for watching!
Very impressed with the Minolta! Great shots.
Thanks Josh!
great shot of the surfer!
Thanks man!
The expired film looked like 60s and 70s pics. All in what you shoot. Favorite pic, bare feet on the bench.
i found a Minolta Hi-matic G for 4 bucks. havent been able to test it out yet. cant find a good place to develop the film in my area lol
+William Nutt nice! if you can't find anything locally, my buddy's over at Dexter's Camera do mail order :)
I’ve found few weeks ago at a thrift store a Nikon EM for $5.99.. I’m still in misbelieved!👍your photos looks amazing!
That Minolta is on fucking fire. Wow.
ibhonestly like both but more of the old kinda film it's like retro and I love it
My best find is an Olympus XA for $3. Works fine!
The photos taken on the minolta were stunning, it's a shame an expired film was used in the olympus, I feel it didn't do the camera justice. Would love to see more like this though :) I need to get a lil old point and shoot!
i know the camera isn't film, but my favourite thrift find was a Canon Powershot S230 (2002, 3.2MP, 2X Zoom) in box with all the original accessories & documents for $10
Found a Sony digital mavica 73 that was fun to play with ($2.50) Also found a fujifilm 14mp 24x zoom bridge camera. ($7) Love that one. Never tried film. Always found it expensive
Loved this. I been thinking of sharing some photos I've taken on different types of film lately. But I like this idea a lot. Ya gotta keep it going!

i gonna find that minolta in my country , I'm new in film camera stuff , a lot thing to learn! , btw what film did you use? was that fujifilm 200mm? please let me know , I'm deadly wanna learn shooting film camera , pleaseeee
Amazing video.While using Minolta AF Bigfinder , did u used inbuilt flash all the time while shooting? Because it is point and shoot, some people says using inbuilt flash is important.
I got a canon ae-1 program from goodwill for $15, works perfectly.
Love the AF BIG thingy!! Super wide crackin sharp shots!! Must get me one o them :-)
Where do you recommend getting your film developed and whats the usual price you pay for developing your roll?
Love the video!
Make more of the $20 challenge. Really fun to watch.
love minolta. i'll get my minolta mac tele and I hope get some good images with it.
Im sure youll love the images!! :)
I'm a local so it's cool knowing where you guys are exactly. Loved the vid :)
+Diego Macias rad dude! Look up @print_exchange on IG, come by the next one and say hey!
Great video. Glad I found it.
I have a question : how do you take the photo from the camera in the computers or phone ?
My favorite find was a Nikon F photomic TN for 10 bucks at a Salvation army thrift store, they thought it was broke, but it works fine, it was missing the battery door on the viewfinder but I found one online, I'm a Nikon fanboy if I'm being honest, I have quite the collection going lol
I love when sellers think that cameras are broken and sell them cheap :)
i don't know anything about film, but i have a question on how you get the photos digitally? for social media
You get your negatives scanned, either at a lab or at home, if you have a good flatbed scanner!
awesome channel! keep up the great work !
+TravelJournalist.com thanks so much!
Looks like the color on the Minolta was better than the Olympus, which was surprising, but then again you said the film was very expired, so perhaps if two rolls of fresh film were used, the results probably would have been similar, because both camera brands are very good.
Such a cool video, I'm from Ventura too and have the worst of luck at thrift stores:( hahah
Cool video guys! Yer vid just popped up in my suggested ✌️
