Loved your images. Thanks for the video. I have never owned or used an Olympus 35 SP. It is, however, very similar in form and function to the Canon Canonet QL17 G-III 35mm rangefinder that I have used for decades.
Yes, I want to see that camera again on your channel! Why do I want to? Because I just finished shooting my first roll of film on an Olympus 35sp!!! You probably don't need it, but we already found a battery for the light meter, the Wein Mrb625 1.35v battery. I hope to see at least one more video of you using the Olympus 35sp. Best regards.
There were quite a few good 35mm rangefinder models in the 60's and 70's. When I saw this video title, I thought the subject was the Minolta CLE, a camera I use and like. The Canon QL deserves mention. Good video.
I would love to see more of this camera as it might encourage me to use my black Olympus 35SP mint condition camera. I will have to pick up the LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20II. Thanks for the video Robin. 😊
Great stuff, Robin, as usual! The shot at 11:40 is especially amazing. Would love to see a tutorial video on shooting with flash on a film camera to know the settings. Sometimes I figure out the zone and shutter speed on my Q2 then use those settings with film to shoot in the same spot, but would be helpful to see how you figure out the aperture/shutter and flash settings.
I'd say first choose your aperture depending on what you want your depth of field to be, then choose your shutter speed depending on how bright you want your surroundings. The flash power is then entirely dependent on the aperture (a) and distance to subject (d). You'll need your flash's maximum power rating (guide number gn) and the distance to your subject. Then simply calculate (gn/(a*d))^2 and set your flash power to 1/the result of that equation. So if you get 15,1 for example just set it to 1/16 (since 16 is closest to 15,1) Hope this helps :)
Thank you! A tutorial doesn't really make sense because it depends on the situation. But when u do it a lot you can learn from your experience and it's getting easier to guess. The good thing on film is that it's tough to blow out the highlights. Just underexpose the ambient light by 1-2 stops and let the flash do the rest.
Great video of a great camera. Really like how used it with your current flash approach too and Vision 3 film (I use 500t all the time). My 35SP is the opposite of ‘mint’ haha but I do love it. Please do make another video with it. Very inspiring.
I would love to be able to use my flash, but I dont feel like I can do it. What are people reactions when you use your flash? Can you give some advice on how to approach people with a flash, I don’t mean settings. Thank you for another great video
Just do it, it's that simple. Stop over thinking things. And don't let people with their false beliefs hold you back. Using a flash isn't aggressive or rude whatsoever.
@@therealsirrobin well it is. I'm a photographer too, but if another stranger photographer is flashing me in the street point blank, I wouldn't feel super happy about that. Take pictures of me I don't care, but don't flash into my face.
The 400D film look Really Very Good, however I think your video cam looks like it was ZAP by the X-Ray Scanners, that is why the colors look like muted, and maybe Fog looking....
Thank you! Unless you are in Bangkok that info wouldn't be useful. In case you are there, it's easy to figure out because there are multiple labs that do ECN2.
I'd recommend the Canonet QL17III to anybody wanting to get into the rangefinder game on the cheap. It's a fixed lens which doesn't match Leica glass for quality for the camera is top notch.
Hi Robin, i had the opportunity to meet a Magnum photographer in Paris during a stop over. Nothing formal. We had a great chat and he let loose that many renowned Magnum members didn’t always use a Leica. But it seemed that the myth of Leica always followed them around no matter what. Essence of it all why title a video with Leica in its title ? Does grab views doesn’t it ?
Wow yeah the ECN2 stuff is beautiful
Robin, of course I would like to see more of this camera. It's an Olympus! If you ever want to get rid of this camera, please remember me 😘
Very cool camera, great to see film photography back!
Loved your images. Thanks for the video.

Your images never disappoint, no matter what gear you utilize!
I have the same camera! I hope to see it featured in upcoming videos, thanks!
The picture of the women with the yellow hat is sooo good!
Superb images mate. A master at work! 😍

Thank you! Yes, please take it out for a spin! 😀
6:49 was cool, nice mood. Surely the head of the local mafia.
Another great video! Thanks a lot. Some of your close-up portraits are like abstract art, museum-worthy abstract art.
How is the flash triggered? Can you share the remote trigger that you are using?
Search for LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20II. It has its own attached trigger that can be detached for wireless use.

@@therealsirrobin Thanks man!
@@paulantoni1934 The equation scared me, but I think I figured it out! Thank you very much!
Oh wow, I have a 35SP but didn’t know they made an all black version 🖤
Great video of a great camera. Really like how used it with your current flash approach too and Vision 3 film (I use 500t all the time).
My 35SP is the opposite of ‘mint’ haha but I do love it.
Please do make another video with it. Very inspiring.
What do you use to record video of your walk-abouts?
The people do look friendly (:
Is that vision film still in circulation or available to buy somewhere? the colors look amazing from that film
Thank you! The film is available because it's still in production. All cinestill color films are based on vision 3.
I would love to be able to use my flash, but I dont feel like I can do it. What are people reactions when you use your flash? Can you give some advice on how to approach people with a flash, I don’t mean settings. Thank you for another great video
I don't either cause IMHO it's very aggressive. Like smoking into a stranger's face.

Man, you are freaking good... How you know what aperture/speed you have to use, With a New camera!?!? How you know you wont waste your film?? 🤔🤔
Thank you! The settings are the same and don't really depend on the camera model.
Thais are really nice. You throw flashes at the heads of people like that in France and you will very quickly find yourself on the ground.
I don't think so. 😉
what do you use for scanning the negative?
Made a video about it a few weeks back.
I love 40mm. What flashpower are you using this situations?
I am usually at 1/4 or 1/8.
@@therealsirrobinThanks.With f11 and 1/15?
Yes.
The 400D film look Really Very Good, however I think your video cam looks like it was ZAP by the X-Ray Scanners, that is why the colors look like muted, and maybe Fog looking....
I love the results you get with the flash set up. It's a pity you didn't tell us where you got your film processed, that would have been useful.
The flash looks like the LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20II manual wireless flash. And he said at beginning he processes at home.
