hey i just got that cam when i made the video, so was kinda unfamiliar with the look.. shall experiment more in future 👍

Ek Aisa Pyara Sa tripod mujhe bhi Lekar do beta mere pass Nahin Hai Mujhe Bhi gift Karen

nah it’s a potato camera with a potato lens 😂 0.5x is terrible

definitely!

Of course! What has been a personal photography breakthrough for both of ya?

got a crazy in house editor here too 🔥

yea, been looking at scanners lately! but like nothing decent for medium format eh?

yes we are! hit us up if you want to meet locally !

I prefer the mini 99 cause I am more of a purist. but both great cameras. what do u plan to use the camera for?

For this printer, i think a full set of inks costs around $140, but it lets you print probably more than 500-800 a4 photos if i can even estimate accurately. Being a consumer printer, it should be ok to leave it dormant for a few weeks, but ideally you print a nozzle test check every week to ensure nothing clogs. There is a seal that covers the print head within the printer and that may require some cleaning after extensive use, maybe after a year or so i believe. Home printers are designed to be left and not used daily, but commercial printers absolutely need to be worked hard or the head might clog.

yea we could definitely improve it as you recommended!

Glad it was helpful!

Hey dont mention it! You are right we could have done it as such also for simplicity. And in hindsight, we prob should have ahah! But I guess also gotta consider that when you use a printer it can compress a larger dynamic range into an image (it kinda loses the instax contrasty look). I also think the print color space is a little bit different for digital images. Not saying it would matter, but I guess thats something that may affect the look of the films at the end and possibly our conclusions.

@@the.midlifers See, now I was thinking it may not be the film but the two cameras might have two sensors that aren’t calibrated exactly the same so taking the digital image on one camera but printing it twice was actually more controlled.

oh what I thought you meant is that to to take the images on a conventional digital camera such as a Ricoh, transfer said image to your phone and get a fuji instant printer to print the same 10 images on both film types.

If you click the shutter once in double exposure mode. you can force eject it by just switching the camera off. If not you have about 3mins before the camera auto ejects IIRC

We think it’s a great camera too! It’s just targetted more at beginners than the enthusiast crowd and because of that the hobbyists are little up in arms. I am sure if this is Pentax’s first film camera (in a while), there will be something in store for the enthusiasts in the future! Also one could say that the camera is a bit pricey. But this is more due to the fact that there are so many vintage cameras that are way cheaper (I would probably argue priced artificially cheaper than their worth) and readily available. So for those who know about cameras, that’s their biggest gripe.

Perhaps. But I will just say that I've been using this camera every day for 2 weeks and never once did I accidentally flip the control dial to another setting. It might be a case of reviewers simply wanting to find things to put in the 'cons' list, to make a balanced review. Not a criticism, but just a thought.

Yes, the dial for me was quite easy to bump, but perhaps also because i needed more time to get used to the camera. It was a great camera nonetheless, the build was great and only the pricing was a bit steep for me to consider buying.

@@the.midlifers Yes, I don't have one myself but the bumping into the dial and changing the settings is something *every* reviewer I watched and read had with the 17. But good to hear that with longer use you're able to not touch it that often. Hopefully Pentax is considering this if they make a 35mm in the same body one day. LIke have a pin in the middle of the dial to fixate it.

@@theaussiewhinger Thanks for letting me know your experience. I haven't used it myself. And you are right, that this comes up in every review. But even Ricoh ambassador reviewers talked about that. So at least it's something that isn't quite well thought out. I'm sure it's not a deal breaker. For me: As the pictures of the 17 leaked before reviews came out, tha short lever caught my eye instantly. That's why I maybe react to people saying they bump into it more than others. Because I assumed at first glance that geting a hold of the lever one must really dig into the space beside the lever to catch it. Overall I am aware that a lot of reviewers criticize every camera too much. But I would've bought the 17 if it cost 300€ instead of 550€ where I live. There are also already cool accesories for it on the market. Maybe there will be a 3D-printed extender for the lever one day too.

hopefully there will be some discount towards the end of year holiday season? that may make the price a little bit more palatable

I think a lot of work needs to be done to get nice photos - portra 160, self hi-res scanning. Cost adds up and that’s the main gripe i had too, not just the cost of the camera but the related costs and quality of dev these days at a lab.

I've seen quite the contrary. You can print them up to poster size in great quality.

@@the.midlifers Indeed, self hi-res scanning, that`s what analog is these days, makes you question yourself, why border.

How can you even say that if i can clearly see on my screen how low quality this on a screen size. Enlarging this will only make it worse.

@@brugj03 Watched and read reviews where labs made prints in poster size that looked very sharp.

Someone needs to get their knickers out of a twist. So much hostility over nothing.

Let’s hope pentax makes a proper full frame SLR next 😃

@@the.midlifers I guess even then there might be "some users" (not naming names...) who would criticize that Pentax haven't made a new Medium Format camera 😁

I have to agree on the useless part but it really looks nice. You could buy it only for that. I think proper full frame is better.

@@theaussiewhinger ...if consumerism is 'nothing" you could start reading papers, to begin with

yea we don't find it worth the cost either, unless you are in Germany.

I feel that might be a little difficult to compare since the cameras are vastly different in film size used, price points, autofocus ability and lens sharpness. I personally feel it's like comparing apples vs oranges. we have done a review of the instax 99 and the i2 separately. Is there anything you wish to know in detail before making a purchase? maybe we can provide some advice

😂😂

That's the point! It's only Leica on the box.

It does have a difference. And it’s ever so slight. But whether that is worth the price needs to be justified by the user I suppose. Personally I didn’t find it worth it, but I can imagine others feeling it’s worth it too!

Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for sharing and clarifying! It does appear more reasonably priced in Germany. Makes me wonder why there is this bigger Leica "tax" here. I will just pin your comment for other people's reference as well as your input was quite insightful!

Thanks for sharing! my hunch was that they used the same flash in both models without consideration for the lens design

It does! there are also some special editions that are harder to find like dental versions of the impulse cameras

No way!! I gotta look those up! 😄 to me they’re the best Polaroid camera that isn’t an SLR. It’s so solid and fast and easy to use. I have a blue and grey one, just need the black and now Green one! Haha

Like all the pleasures in life, the wallets gets drained regardless

Thank you!

Sorry to hear that! if you don't mind sharing, what was wrong with it? maybe the audience might like to know too before purchasing it

Good eye! Yes this camera was modified with the sx70r pcb. And it has the power bar mod too. And yes it was on the 600iso mode

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the support!

Actually the pack that Chris used in this episode was from somewhere that wasn't stored well either. so there is still some hope!
