C(an)onfessions have to be made. You gotta be strong now but I do shoot other film cameras… I acquired a 1976 Montreal Olympica Games special edition Canon F1 with documents in absolutely pristine condition and it’s basically an SLR on steroids.

My wife says she is the new dog in my videos.
Hahahah!❤
Our friendly neighborhood cameraman is back. I surprisingly enjoyed this slow paced episode and I’m glad, we had the chance to get a little insight in your work life. Congrats to the musicbed deal, I’m looking forward to some funky, wise and sometimes even a bit life changing Projects.
To end today’s comment I have to say, that it is a smart idea to change cameras from time to time.

I love my Canon F-1. It's my first film camera. Ordered it straight from Japan.
Same! Best decision
Same here 😂
I love my F-1 so much more than any of my other fancier cameras. It's just a camera that just works. The focusing is stupid accurate, the light meter is perfect, I can beat it up, drop it, run it into a wall, and it'll be fine. It's my go to camera for any dirty work or when I just wanna get out and shoot
What more can you ask for?
I bought my first Canon F1 in 1972, and I still use it. Since then I have bought 4 other F1s.
OG! 🫶🏼
Really enjoyed this one. It felt really relaxed and inspiring. Especially liked the greenish-reflection-garden-shot! Keep up the great work.
Yoooo Kim! Can’t wait to have you on the channel soon!
Genuinely impressive how great your videos are, the compositions, the content, the dialogue and witty quips, I just love it. So excited to see where you go from here.
I had A-1 for quite some time, I enjoyed it a lot, but always found missing reaching for my Minolta XD, so I sold it. Of course now I have like 8 more SLR’s but that’s a whole different topic 😂
Dude thanks so much! I am not getting tired of comments like these. UA-cam is easily the most challenging thing I ever did in terms of creativity, courage and discipline. And I did quite a few things before. Cheers mate!
Great photos! Wonderful use of Canon F1! I love my Canons! AE-1,AE-!P, Av-1. Lenses are lower contrast, easier to work with! Your color super! Bravo!
Thank you Jason. Glad you enjoyed it!
Loving my F1n.
what a sick studio at 7:03. what kind of project are you working on?
It is an undisclosed broadcast related project done with the help of a virtual production and realtime pre-viz studio environment.
I acquired mine used, but I have to use a light meter app right now as the internal one doesn’t function.
I’m finishing my first roll, so I will find out how it goes.
Best of luck!
Yeah, beautiful little camera, I totally get it! :)
Basic but honest question. In terms of image quality and shooting the exact same film, with exact same focal length ect. Is the Leica M6 (image quality) much better than Canon F1? Or is the reason people shoot with the M6 just the brand and experience?
35mm film camera bodies don’t matter. It’s all about the film stock and lenses especially.
@@nicarnold This is good to know, i appreciate it :)
had 86 model , regret selling it , at one point had 13 lenses for it , this is a few years ago now , great robust cameras , heavy for what they are especially with fast glass attached ... but yes very highly recommended , wasn't much difference in weight with it and a 55mm 1.2 or 200mm f2.8 attached and the hassle with an 80 to be honest , high end fd and fdn lenses are fantastic bargains .brilliant light meter . sold it to use the hassle more and try range finders canon p and Leica m2 for a while,, recently bough a Nikon F , but always regret selling the f1new , very good cameras ,
Too many cameras to love out there… 🫶🏼
the Mexican cartel edition is fire!
I dislike , LF! I tried it, it was Not for Me! The Hassie is Finicky, requires services and adjustments! I used Mamiyaflex TLR series in Studio. I could Focus the beast! I never could Hassie! Even with Minolta Accumate screen. But 6x6 is a BIG piece of film, the colors, resolution, look way better than 35mm. I still prefer 35mm. On the Internet, all that wonderous Medium Format looks same as my old CCD cameras from 2004! The F1 is big, heavy and who needs all those bits? I'm very Happy with Canon AE-1, AE-1P and AV-1. In Canadas frigid winters, well below zero C*, they don't work.. But I have many SLR's that are not battery powered! Enjoy the F1! Good luck shooting!
My brain has been trying to process this for a while now.
Regret selling my F1 last year.
😭😭😭
