Years ago I took a picture of a pedestrian bridge from Park Fairfax in Alexandria, Virginia to Shirlington over I395…I like the vanishing point perspective you get. There was snow on the walking surface which increased the drama.
@@DavidALovingMPF102 my sister lived in the brick apartment buildings, she worked at the seminary. I flew there several times to help take care of our Mother who was in failing health. Then they moved back to San Jose to live with my other sister.
Reminds me of the Kodak Disc camera from the mid 80's, in fact that's what I thought you had there in the beginning, like just the film with a lens in the center crank wheel and someone put electronics and a delicious cardboard coloring over it like a tortilla lol. Those were cool flat, cameras! The case it came in was not unlike that of a piece of jewelry would come in. Everyone invested in those and then like a year or so later they came out with that cubed rectangle looking camera which was more handy Small size took almost a kind of micro film. That's how it goes, 8track, to cassette, (remember the 8track cassette converter, that big thing that hung out of the 8track so you can play your cassette in you 8trach system) To Compact Disc (CD) to MP3 to digital stream. I now have well, all the songs in the world thanks to Google UA-cam Music, and oddly spent less money some home. I saw in my local Walmart in the electronics department, real cameras just 4 different kinds but real cameras and nearby real film, not a huge selection but still there and film developing Machine and digital developer machines, the area that was a film center is now a site to store pick up center. Sad, really, I suppose in a way cameras are being used all the time, people use their cell phone cameras to take pictures and upload them so photograph in that sense is still going but that's to me not the same thing as old school photography, heck for a while I had a film carousel and developer chemicals and a mini dark room all at a friend's house I used, well the carousel was mine...I was getting into it, but without a room of my own it was difficult saying goodbye to my friend that moved away....I wonder if I caused that.....huh. oh well. I enjoyed this one, cute camera.
Very interesting review Joe! This camera begs to be modified or hacked! Send it up on a helium balloon or a car security camera or a doorbell camera or drone cam. AH..Birdhouse camera!
I've had one of these for a couple of years. The makers point out the similarity to shooting with a film camera - you don't get to see the picture until later (no chimping). I think of it as a fun toy camera, it ticks most of the boxes of Lomography. I will definitely try your idea of stacked filters. Thanks for the review.
B&W looks very good on this camera. Guess it's the limitation of the shutter to cope with the bright sunny conditions in New Mexico that the images appear to over-expose; hence things look better with filters.
Hi joe, are you ever going to release a video or details on the color reversal process? i just watched video 2, and you never released develop timings or anything like you had mentioned in the process. im really hoping you will because that video is the only one on the process really.
It’s difficult to recommend predetermined timings for a process that has so many variables. Your paper ISO depends on the color of the light through the filtration; the filtration affects color balance in the print but is also dependent on the light being used; and there is no standardized filtration, everybody who does this process starts from zero and has to determine their own baseline. But the color developer and blix times are standard as per the package label, read and heed.

I used to work/live around there. too many people now.

Finally a proper review ! Thank you Joe ! It wouldn't be a video from you if it doesn't had some hacks and experimentations haha good job !
Thank you, Joe!

That was fun. The filter stack photos were very nice.

This is the first review i see of this product that doesn't overpraise it for what it is
Thank you! I didn’t pay for mine, it was loaned to me by another photographer, so I had no vested interest in justifying a purchase.
Yeah, with the filters, it's the boss.
Funny because I would have glued a step-down ring on the camera itself.
I may have if the camera belonged to me, but it’s on loan.
Reminds me of the 110 I had as a kid.
It wouldn't be too hard to make a 3d model for a case for these. Makes it more of a "plasticshoot" than a "papershoot"
Just the board..$114. Cameras from $139 to $200 ish
Hey, what’s the “MPF102” part of your username all about?
