I love my Olympus XA. One of the smallest 35mm rangefinders you can get. But damn o damn that thing bangs. It has its quirks but I fell in love with mine.
Temptation is everywhere. An excellent Maymia 645 came up for sale by me at a good price. Fortunately it would have required a ferry trip to Martha Vineyard and I don’t have the time at the moment.
The addiction (passion) is real. Since August of '21 I've procured: Graphlex Graphic 35, Canon F-1 black body, Canonet QL-17 GIII, Minolta srt101, Nikon F2, Canon P, Canon AF35ML, Minolta XD11 black body, Olympus OM-1 black body, Nikon L35AF2, Konica C35 AF2, Olympus 35 RC. I should be done... should be.
Wow nice!! That’s a good lineup of cameras for sure! I feel the same way. I should be done, but I’m sure my camera collection will change as time goes on
Thanks. My wife is just about ready to revoke my eBay privileges. Quite a few of the bodies need new light seals which I’ve begun working on. Not to mention I haven’t fully film tested a lot of them though they are in good working condition. I’ve sold a couple of cameras but there’s always that temptation to get more. Great channel and great pictures 👍
@@ldelcarmen oh nooo not the revoking of eBay privileges!😂 also I hope you have fun replacing the light seals and testing out the cameras! Fixing them is very satisfying! I’m glad you like the channel!
wow, that's more than I would have thought. Also all really different. I also find it nice that you got old cameras of your parents. That film cameras outlast generations is really a nice thought.👍
Glad you liked it bro! I think it’s cool to find cameras that aren’t really talked about as much. Saves me a little money, and shows what other cameras are out there!
Nice video! You're not a hoarder just because you've got a camera or two, man! My favourite cameras? Canon AE-1 program, Canon F-1, Nikon FM2N, Olympus AF-1, Zeiss ikon Contessa folder rangefinder, Yashica Minister 700, Yashica 35 electro ccn, Rolleiflex, Rolleicord, Mamiya RB67, Zeiss ikon super ikonta, Moskva V, I guess.
With close to 800 cameras sitting on my shelves, how can you ask me to pick a favorite. I start with the Nikon FE, FE2, FA oh and the F2, F3HP, F4, F5, Contax RTS, RTS II, Canon A1, Minolta XD-s and that's just a portion of the 35mm SLR's, and don't get me started on medium format cameras - but the Rolleiflex SLX II or maybe the Mamiya 645 Pro TL would definitely be in my top five.
Great collection! I have recently added my first range finder to my own, the Zorki 4. It's got sort of an awkward set of controls compared to other cameras, definitely not as sophisticated as your Canon or Yashica. No light meter, no frame lines, a winding knob rather than a lever, and you've got to wind the film before changing shutter speed. Still, quite an interesting camera. Finally got the shutter working (mostly) and now ready to see how the pictures turn out!
My name is Brendon and I am also an addict. Although I don’t have as much as an addiction 😂 you’ve got some really dope gear man! That Ricoh with the panoramic frame line is actually dope! But I won’t lie that Canon P is just incredible. I need to try one.
Hey Brendon!! Thank you for coming to this Cameraholics anonymous meeting😂 I highly recommend the canon p! I’ve watched some of your videos and I think you would love shooting with it!
I like how you haven't amassed a massive collection like literally everyone else. Apart from the few nostalgia pieces, you only own what you actually use. My favourite is my Zenit ET. It just works for me, every single time. The controls aren't anywhere near as smooth as my Pentax SP F, but when you move a control, there is no doubt that you have moved it, so you rarely have to take your eye away from the viewfinder to change settimgs.
I’m glad you appreciate that! I don’t really want to be the guy who has a huge collection, but doesn’t use most of the cameras. I only want cameras that make me want to get out and shoot! If my collection starts getting too big, I’ll just get rid of some things on eBay haha and nice! I’ve never used a Zenit camera but I Am curious about what the experience is like
Funny enough out of all my cameras I own including a bunch of Polaroids My SX-70 land camera is my favorite camera , the styling , the compact book size , and the amazing pictures I’ve produced from it are just great , I use that and the SX-70 one step land camera a lot
Without Duckduckgo'ing it, I wouldn't call the SX-70 Polaroid's first instant film camera. I don't know if it was the first "integral" (the kind that was pushed out through rollers to break pods containing developer and developed out of the camera over a few minutes) film camera made by Polaroid, but for sure it came many years after Polaroid developed and marketed the various Land cameras that used peel-apart film. I especially love those cameras, which could give great results, and lament the disappearance of all peel-apart films since Fujifilm ceased production a few years ago. Before that happened, I got a lot of enjoyment from shooting my Kodak 250 Land camera and using peel-apart film in backs for various medium format cameras like my Mamiya 645 and RB67.
Yeah that’s true! Polaroid did have cameras before that that used peel apart film. I think the SX-70 was the first to use that new style of instant film that became synonymous with the brand
Do you think that if you ever got another lens or two for the FR-1 or TL you would use them? Additionally, I'm disappointed because you hardly even mentioned, or showed, the lenses you have for your various cameras. How many lenses do you have for each interchangeable lens camera? What are they? Why did you go with that lens? Cameras are nothing without a lens, after all, and I'm just sad that you left this out of your video. Could you post a list of lenses at least? FWIW, I have what I think to be a sizeable camera collection. It's quite a bit larger than yours anyway, and I enjoy using them all. I have some fixed lens units, but for my interchangeable lens cameras, I've got at least 3x as many lenses as I do camera bodies. I'm not the type of shooter to ride or die with just one lens.
I think I would probably use the FR1! I really like the feel of that camera. Also I didn’t add any of my lenses to this video because the only extra lenses I have are for the Canon P and I’ve actually made dedicated videos about 2 out of the three of those! I have some other vintage lenses that I use on my digital camera and I’m planning on making a whole lens video actually!
@@ReimannPembrokeI've seen your Canon P videos and I know you have a Jupiter 12 and Industar 26 for that camera. I'm totally surprised you don't have at least one more lens for the Bronica. I mean, your 6x6 TLR already has an 80mm lens. Why not have something different on your Bronica?
@@ldstirling I probably will get another lens for the Bronica! I am particularly interested in the 40mm lens! I had to fix the focusing issue first though. and with how expensive 120 film is, I haven't gotten around to using the Bronica enough to decide what other lens I would really enjoy
What’s your favorite camera in your collection? COMMENT BELOW⬇️

@@thefilmdaddy I’ve always wanted to try the XA! Gonna have to pick one up or borrow one from somewhere!
Bronica ETRSI :) You can disengage the EV couple on that rangefinder. I've done it a couple times.
@@jw48335 the ETRSi is a camera I’d love to try out!
I’m an addict too 😂 lovely collection! My fav is the Yashica MAT 124. I agree it’s the prettiest and is better than the G version
Oh wait this is my fav in your collection, not mine 😂
@@Bonsees I’m glad you agree with me! What’s your favorite in your collection? You have some killer cameras
@@ReimannPembroke thanks! For my collection, it’d be the Fuji TX1 hands down haha both in terms of aesthetics and the quality of images it yields
@@Bonsees hell yeah! That’s honestly a dream camera of mine! I’m dying for some TX-1 videos from you!

There really are tempting cameras everywhere if you keep your eyes open!!

Wow 800?! What a collection!! I really want to get my hands on a Nikon F2 to try out
What excellent taste you have in cameras! (As if we didn't know already 😎). Polaroid SX-70 makes me swoon every time
Thanks Julie!! Oh yes the Design of the SX-70 keeps me distracted when I’m at my desk😂

Oh, that's an amazing camera! I am so tempted to get into 6x17 photography!
@@ReimannPembroke It will reward the harsh learning curve if you stick with it.👍📷🌟🌟🌟🌟
i saw m3 in the back i guess or some rangefinder camera 😁
My two rangefinders are the canon P and Yashica minister d!
