As a former manager of a camera store in the 90s, it’s fun to see someone enjoy the pleasures and dis-pleasures of Konica’s progeny. Super non-intuitive and just waiting for repair with all those moving parts. i’ll have to watch more of your videos, I’m not sure if they’re all photography based but I like your style and your wit. If you ever need any information about cameras or commentary, I’m available to help was in the photo industry for many many years. Great video
Thank you so much for jumping in and commenting! It's invigorating to know that this isn't the only ding-dong daffy camera out there. One of the projects for 2025 is to track down more oddball cameras for review purposes. So, since you offered feedback, what other outliers in the camera world should I be considering for review on the channel?
A well thought out and articulated presentation of not only the camera, but, more importantly, the broad scope of philosophies that its conceptual possibilities and impossibilities exist in. Rhetorically, is there an Overton window for the esoteric and eccentric and where is the world at on it? I'd say we've never been more fearful of being seen to step outside of the generic, predictable, etc. Hopefully channels like this can help people feel a little safer to explore beyond the edges of things more, depending on how the algorithm rewards that...
So far, the algorithm hasn't been terribly kind. The good news is that the exercise we're doing over here isn't built around any algorithms. It's built around collecting our ideas and communicating them better. Your comment about that Overton window leads me to believe that we're making progress towards our goals and I look forward to thinking about that for a bit. Don't be surprised if we mention it in a future video.

do you always sound like a pretentious idiot?
Oh god, I want it
@@caalmadacaalmada6618 It's one of the most fun cameras in our toy box, not in spite of its flaws but because of them. Thanks for the comment!
