There exist three models of the Selfix 16-20, Model I with 4 speed shutter, was made in 1951 (made by Barnet-Ensign-Ross) Model II dates from 1951 to 1954, and Model IV with 8 speed shutter dates from 1954 (made by Ross-Ensign). Lenses were Ensar, Ross Xpres, and Rosstar. All three lenses are very good and are coated. The cameras have internal synchroflash contacts. In 1951 Model I cost Pounds 17 14 10, Model II cost Pounds 26 10 4. In 1956 Model IV cost Pounds 17 11 0. When an exposure has been made, always wind on the film, to avoid double exposures. Black & white photos will be improved when using push on yellow and/or orange filters.

I've not been to Saltwell Park since I was about 10. Nice to see it again, I guess it will have changed a bit. The shots looked good, and I'm interested to see your photos from Moffat.

Hi Keith, lovely photos. Have the 50mm F1.4 in both FD and EF mount. Find the FD mount is the better lens. Enjoy your Scotland trip.

Enjoyed the video and photos Kieth. Have a good trip to Scotland and I’ll look forward to the follow up videos 😊

Another good video make even better by using a great camera. (Love my A1!)

Moffat on a Friday night, full of tanked up young farmers; 6'3" and dimmer than a 40 watt bulb ... just so you know 😐

Enjoying your videos. Harry in Ashington

Glad the C41 turned out fine. There's always a little hope over experience with colour film and development, especially if its out of date. The joys .... 😒

For a point and shoot the shots weren't bad especially if shooting dx coded expired film, Keith. I must send off my two films I finished a while back. I hope you haven't binned the aps cameras - there is some interest in them despite a reducing amount of film in circulation.

I'd say that roll came out pretty well actually. I use the Bellini C41kit, the wash at the end ,once done i just l hang em up and there's not a mark on em ..if however i squeegee them i get scratches and water marks.. Emulsion must be a bit more delicate than the usual BW ..

Ah the joys of job Lots off the bay. That Nikon is probably worth what you paid for the lot.

Hi Keith, just found your channel and like the easy approach to your videos. I too am an Oldun (75) and still enjoy film photography. I started with a Zenit E in the mid 60's and upgraded to a Canon FTb in '72 - it was like going from a tractor to a sports car! I remained a Canon man from then on. I now have a reasonable collection of various format cameras with an outing for one of them each week (I try not to have a favourite, but I do love my Canon A1 and T90!). Keep up the good work. PS I have subscribed...

Thanks for sharing your experience with filters. I have an Olympus M1 Mark III and there ate built in color filters for black and white. Mostly I use the color filters from Silver efex pro. Best regards

Thanks for being so clear on the price issue. I'm amazed at people's comment on prices. They really expect a brand new camera that costs the same as a second hand one from 40 years ago, when those costed as much or even more this one does back then! Same thing with the new Rollei 35AF. Complaining about a potential 800€ price tag, and completely oblivious to how expensive Rolleis were back when they were new!

It's always good to get your groove back! I just ran my first roll of Ilford Delta 3200 through 510-Pyro. Good stuff but my old stand-by is Rodinal.

Great you've got your mojo back!

The image with the wind turbine and the ship as a juxtaposition is a ripper Keith. How us humans will use wind.

New pictures look great! Enjoy the Minolta :)

You are spot on with comments about the Pentax 17 there's a lot it's not, but the one thing it is, is its a brand new quality film camera and running something like Delta 100 film through it should easily make 8x10 or even A4 prints at half the film cost, compared to full frame.

Keith, don't give up on the c41 just yet ..being doing mine for the last 6 months. Apart from 1 lost film ,developer was shot everything good .. In fact I find it easier than b/w . Great vids by the way 👏..

I just use Calibrize, a free downloadable, to calibrate my screen, been using it for over 10 years, works fine. I have to be slightly careful with gamma and all that as it brings on migraines. Photo's look crisp. That's exactly where the Bounty came in (on the back of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies) some years ago. Sadly I heard it sank off the east coast of the USA in a storm, taking some of its crew with it. As for the Pentax I'm sure the company did plenty of market research before putting it into production and there's very few digital cameras you can buy for £$500 new ... will I be buying one, maybe ... in 2042 !

Pleased to hear you're a happy photographer Keith, the shots looked good. As for colour and contrast shifts, I find our TV is very different to my laptop, phone and pc monitor. My Pentax also got lost in the post, perhaps we should complain :)

I've noticed the light levels are different when looking at my scans using different devices Keith. Anyway those scans seem to be spot on looking at them on my phone, as we are having a short break in Wales so I'm using my phone. I pal of mine once mentioned that even without filters when scanning negs the scanner always manages to define the clouds and it's something I've noticed too. In the old darkroom days it would require a bit of dodging to get effective clouds. Keep safe👍

In 68 I bought a Zenith 80 for £150 with two mags,, Later bought a wide angle AND a telephoto (champagne bottle size nearly!) fot another £150 at a clearance and they were brand new. The camera itself I see is worth £400 odd secondhand on the Bay..Shutter really a CLUNK! when it fires....Takes a Hassel Polaroid back and Hassel mags (with a slight mod to them)

Hi Keith, love a yellow filter! Great images. Done exactly the same check as you on the Pentax 17 price with Wallace Heaton and the BOE inflation calculator. I'm amazed that Ricoh/Pentax have managed to produce a new film camera at that price point.

It was the BSA Gods Keith. My WW2 era M33 500cc OHV with it's unique police department stamp on the engine casing, fully original and running was basically stolen during Covid with these country lockdowns. Nice pics and Happy Days again mate. Great shots.

When life throws you lemons, HP5 with a yellow filter always makes sadness go away. As for the Pentax 17, it's a great camera from Ricoh Pentax and demand has far exceeded their expectations. They can't make them fast enough!

Better luck next time Keith. I'll have 2nd thoughts now about buying out of stock color film too.

personally i really like that town photo. Great video sir . Thank you for your work.

Whoops, looks quite cross processed. Quite unusual for Kodak Gold 200 to come out looking so blue. Although if you don't know for sure how the film was stored before you got it then it could simply be that. If you haven't thrown the developer away yet you could test develop a few frames at a slightly cooler temperature to see the result. Best I can offer I'm afraid 🤷‍♂

Keith, you should have just said you were becoming a hipster and said you'd shot some lomography colour shift film instead. Unlucky with the chemical contamination, though.😮

Hi Keith, what a shame, image looked really good.

Very nice video. How do you like 510 Pyro?

Awesome! I have been doing the exact same thing this Spring. My sister and I also spent several weeks traveling around trying to locate the burial sites of all the family we could find and photographed all the info we could. Thanks for sharing. Nice to know I am not alone on this type of documentation.

Interesting family and social history

Wonderful stuff Kieth. Yours is my favourite channel to watch on UA-cam. Encore!

That was fascinating! Thank you.

Interesting video, Keith. We have quite a few photos from my grandparents and great-grandparents, like your only a few studio images. At the moment, I need to get my folks to identify who is in them, especially the more distant relatives. It's important to know where you came from, I think. Great photo of young Keith at the end.

Great stuff Keith. Really enjoyed the video.

I've become the de-facto family historian. I think I've got copies of most photo's on my father's side, but as its a working class family there's nothing before the thirties. Have less of my mother's side. I remember more photo's from my childhood of my grandparents on my mother's side but when both my parents passed away my mother's family photo's weren't there when we cleared the house. No oil paintings with stately homes in the background though, thankfully I'm working class through and through, nobody in my family made a fortune out of trading slaves ... thank goodness.

Nice video. Love the cat! 🐈

I had a Minolta SRT 101 as a teenager. A few years ago I decided to start getting back to film and bought an XGM. It's a sweet little camera. I've since collected a number of other Minoltas but still have a spot in my heart for my XGM.

Great video. Thank you RS. Canada

Love the photo of the railway track, it's definitely got something.

the ASA setting is nothing but a visual reminder of the film speed inserted.

Early digital had a hint of film qualities. Nice shots Keith.

thank you keep going

Far from the first AF DSLR but the first done right .. 🦘

Pretty amazing, thanks for sharing! Love the photos and nostalgic feel to them. -Eileen

Well done Keith.
