This is not a collection, you've got a Museum at this point
*changes title immediately*
Technically the pit rivers museum in Oxford, England is classified as a "collection" where as if you were to walk into the building it would definitely feel like a museum
Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I love vintage and callable cameras and it's even better was they are operable. I just inherited 31 cameras including a Mamiya 67rb and c330. Can't wait to get out in the field with them. Thanks for the harness tip. Wasn't sure how I was going to carry that beast around. I weight it on my kitchen scale and it came to 7lbs. 😂 Cheers.
*Mausoleum
As you didn't mention the Leica M3 in the video I'm guessing that's what the end is about. Nice.
just discovered your channel, and i just wanted to say that having 3 broken AE-1’s is the most relatable thing i’ve ever heard
Right 😂
🤣🤪🤣
Love the Contax G2! Great lenses, excellent photos!
Back in the day I used to be a camera store owner and Yashica/Contax dealer, and If you love the T4 with the Zeiss, also try getting your hands on the Olympus XA, that was another incredible film compact camera that was as sharp or better than the T4 in some aspects.
Absolutely. The XA's lens is insane - paired with a rangefinder and aperture priority it's a beast at everything from casual to street, the lens is so damn sharp at 5.6
the mju ii & T4 are literally the perfect pocket cameras. I found the Contax P&S's a bit heavy for my taste but they do feel super premium in hand. Thanks for posting your thoughts!
I heard the mju 1 is better but i couldnt know since they go for 300 where i live
Eyyy broken AE-1 club!
At least you’ve got a variety of options! I need to pick up another 35mm
The world is full of broken AE-1’s but that’s okay
the end is really..!!!! can't wait for the next one!
😏
Really great video! I did a video like this recently about my collection that isn't quite as big, but it was a joy to make! I really like your folding camera collection!
I feel the same!! Thanks for watching
I always enjoy seeing what others are packing! 🤙🏽
in a youtube world where photo and video is dealt with so clinically, you are bringing such a unique, genuine spark to the conversations without compromising applicable knowledge 🙌🏽🧚🏻

The Brownie is the cutest!
For your RZ (I hope you got it repaired) attach a Gitzo carbon fiber monopod and a Really Right Stuff MH-01 head. It'll easily add 2 stops over handheld (more if you can wedge the monopod against a railing or some other object) and makes the RZ beast much easier to manage when walking around. Simply carry the RZ over your shoulder like a hobo's bindle, lens pointing downward. The monopod also holds your RZ while changing the lens, loading film, etc. without having to put anything on the ground or rough surface. Carry an extra lens, meter, cell phone, wallet, etc. in a small shoulder bag. I always found the RZ to be too uncomfortable and unwieldy on a neck strap. A strong but light monopod adds ballast and control to the RZ beast.
My dad's AE-1 was state of the art when he got it back in 1981... I should have kept it but decided to sell it when I went digital.Someone else is loving it now though so that's OK with me.
Haha yes, cliffhanger at the end; brilliant.
See you in the next one! Haha
22:56 the battery is HIGH POWER ... almost spit out my coffee .. that is too funny!
I care .. nice collection... what lens are you using with the GFX50SII? ... oh and the ending ... nice cliffhanger 😉
Not sure what in the YT algorithm suggested your video to me, but I'm really glad it did! Loved this video. Love the respect you give to your cameras and the fun you have with them. I have a very small collection of cameras and love the look of them like you do. I'm subscribing and looking forward to watching all of your videos. BTW, I have a Fujifilm X-T3 that I really love. I often shoot it with vintage lenses(partly because I can't afford the big boys!). Have a great week!!
Hey! This is so awesome to hear. Welcome!!! Glad you’re here ⚡️
Your Mamiya RZ67 is G.O.A.T.
Hey Taylor! Great collection you got.
Just one minor complaint. Audio is not balanced. Coming from left side mostly(Gets wonky with headphones).
Ayo! The ending though😂😂
The search must go on..
Wow, quite the collection! Def saw a few bodies I’d never seen before! 👏👏
Thanks so much for the kind words about our straps, too Taylor! You rule! 🙌
No, YOU RULE!
Great colletion! and I really like your content and photos :)
Appreciate it! ⚡️
Great collection! I hope you get your Mamiya C33 up and running. I still have mine that I bought new in 1966. I used to shoot with the predecessor to your RZ67, the RB67 back when I was a full time pro. I used it for wedding formals and shot wedding candids with the Mamiya 645. I also did all my studio and environmental portraits with it. I'm glad to see you shooting Fuji. Since you like small cameras, try to pick up a Fuji X-E camera. I have the X-E1, X-E2s and X-E3.
I am so jealous! You have so many cameras that I hope to someday own once I get out of school
what a great collection! glad I stumbled across your youtube. cheers from vegas
I'm glad I'm not the only person who hoardes cameras that don't work 😂
Broken cameras matter too ❤️🔥
Me too 🫠 omg. I have done this since 2010 and I am loving this so big. My heart is just so happy watching this
Nice Thrasher shirt, also Fuji represent!
Woooow they're all amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Can you please make a video about what film do you use and how you scan it
So much cool gear!!! on another topic: did you noticed the audio is paned to the left?? 😶🌫🔊
Lovely collection. But I have to say,,, you're a lightweight! Keep thinking of doing a show & tell myself. Good vid. Whoa! The 6 x 7. You might have a quality vs quantity thing on me. LOL.
The end. 😂😂😂
The search never ends!
Haha so true 🙃
Nikon that's stuck in "timer" mode -- "It's not a bug -- it's a feature". (1) "Natural" poses; (2) put on a tripod, go out in front -- selfie!!! :)
That first camera (non - functioning) -- that's a heartbreaker. Maybe ask for "repair money" next birthday or Christmas?
Change the battery in the two first cameras. they will surley work after that. Some become "locked" if the battery is dead.
Great videos!
#minoltagang
LE: 13:48 i don't know why but that's **chef's kiss**
Loved seeing Kel’s portrait, it’s like a crossover 😍😍😍😍
holy cinebloom batman!!
🦇⚡️
damn cinebloom footages are sooooo good
how about the evil camera from the goosebumps story say cheese and die that predicts the future and makes it bad?
Dope set of cameras!
To fix that L35AF/D problem, you need to remove the entire front plate and unscrew the self timer switch. The switches break in the back and get stuck in the ON position.
Omg I’m gonna do this. THANK YOU! Do you unscrew the switch completely?
@@graincheck yep, you need to remove the entire switch, which leaves a hole in the camera. You can cover the hole with electrical tape or something. For one of my L35AF’s, I unscrewed the back of the switch, then glued the inoperable front switch back in place using a hot glue gun to cover the hole.
There should be some tutorials online on how to remove the camera plates, but there are two hidden screws. One under the bottom corner under the rubber cover, opposite side of the right hand grip. The other hidden screw is located in the compartment. It’s easy after you figure it out. Good luck! ✌️
@@JP1050x suggest gaffer tape -- wider, sticks better, leaves less residue. (But *proper* gaffer -- not just miscellaneous "cloth tape" or "duct tape".). :)
@@flickeringgreenflame8493 I like gaffer tape, but it starts to fray after a short while. Good quality electrical tape holds up well and matches better with the camera plastic. There’s also some high quality vinyl tape that doesn’t leave residue, which is often used to label baby supplies at daycares.
Not sure what happened but your audio sounds like it has a low pass filter on the right channel
You have an amazing collection ! ^_^
I really like this video Taylor!!!!!!! 😊😊 SHEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
Talk about G.A.S huh? Ahaha but that’s not even a bad problem to have so let it rip some more. You have the G2 and T3 and your partners while I have the G1 and T1 as my 1-2 punch.
Have a great day today! 🙏🏼
You did change the batteries in your ae1's.
Shutter wont work without.
I thought I saw a Leica M3 in the intro? (and yes I'm interested - I have about 30 cameras and have always meant to do the walkthru vid but I suspect even fewer people would care). Nice vid, thanks
Hey Taylor question:
Currently I'm not earning a lot from photography at all. Everything I earn externally I reinvest in gear I want/need.
I was wondering is it the same for you? I'm assuming Moment really helped give you the financial freedom to afford what you wanted for your work but do you make any money as purely a Photographer or is your income more Content Creation focused?
I haven’t done freelance for a while, so I don’t know what the field is like right now. I’ve been lucky to have a full-time job with Moment/Sunny Sixteen for a few years now. I do invest quite a bit of many back into gear though.
Incredible little collection you have there!!
That Chinon point and shoot with the 'cuckoo clock' trapdoor is so quirky!!
My latest short video shows my current retro Vintage 35mm collection, I have a Chinon but not as cool as yours and of course one from the Olympus mju stable!
I've had a few different mju models but I tend to sell them, well everyone has their price! 😊👍
I've added your channel, hope you connect?
I mostly fly drones but always have a photography / videography interest, with a retro tech slant.
Cameras repair stores rub their hands while watching the video. lol More than 7 broken cameras.
I like the little flex with the willem verbeeck picture. 😄 Love the contax cameras they are so cool.
Damn that GFX 50SII was a surprise. Digital cant get better than with a GFX.
ADFKGJBASFD THE CLIFF HANGERRR!!!!
If we are allowed to guess,,,
looks like a contax t2, I dunno what about it screams t2 for me but I think its cause the bubble wrap was a bit see through and I made out a t2??
or a fujifilm tx-1
I've got about the same number of cameras, maybe a few more. In fact, I have three more coming...a Kiev 4A, a Zenit 122 and a Horizon S3-U500 panoramic camera.
Ahhhh that was just a great video! loved watching it. I have a some of old canons on the shelf, that i love a lot. I worked on some of old Canons from the A-Series. So just a little trick for your three canon AE-1´s. It may work on one of them. All you need is some lighter fluid. There are to point´s that we want to address. The battery contact and the shutter button. Put some of the fluid in the battery chamber and press down the contact. It will come up again by it self, becorse there is a spring under it. Now just push a cupel of times. Do the same with the shutter button. some drops of the fluid into the hole for the cable release and simply work the shutter button. If you are lucky, you have a working ae-1 in no time. I hope it works at least on one of your old canons´s. Good luck! I just found your channel and i´am looking forward to all the other videos from you. Greetings from Germany.
Woah!!! This is an insanely useful trick. Thank you! And thanks for watching/subscribing :)
Astonishing how much cameras you own 😂
nice collection. 🙂
Thank you for sharing. 😀
I have many film cameras. Many were given to me or I bought the bodies for $5 or less at a camera show i used to help promote. I love my Minolta xa 1 and 2 and my Samsung Evoca's and Pentax IQ zoom which have bulb settings for a point and shoot. My Eos 630s and 650s bodies, as I mentioned were $5 or under for the bodies along with my Nikon N90 and N90s bodies.My favorite automatic Camera is My Canon EOS A2. I am on my 4th one. I do not like rangefinders. I like centered view finders. So I use a portable view finder so I do not have off centered photos. I have an Instax square Sq6. I love that camera. The one that came out after it took away the bells and whistles, made of cheaper plastic and still expensive. The polaroid 250 cameras are being converted to take 120 film.
Loved the video quality, but the audio is off 😭
Remember to unwind the spring after each time you use your super8 filmcameras, and don't run them at their fastest shutter speed without film roll in them.
Love the video! Someone probably mentioned it, but the Agfa is actually a 6x9 medium format camera. They made exquisite medium format folders. The Super Isolette is the best in 6x6. I have one of those and it’s amazing.
I would like to try the super isolette, I have a super ikonta 533/16 and love it and it's quality but it's a bit of a chonker
@@seafire820 the super Isolette is phenomenal. They can have hardened grease in the helical focus gear, so you probably want one that’s been overhauled. They were also re-branded as the Ansco Super Speedex.
I have my own little collection though it's digital dominated cause I like some of the wacky form factors:
For Digital:
Canon EOS Rebel T6, my first serious camera, purchased with the intent to learn astrophotography because phones deffinitly suck at it, no regrets and I'm far enough down that rabbit hole now to have some shots I love.
Canon EOS M200, cute little EF-M mount camera, it's fate is to be sent to Lifepixel for full-spectrum modification, I doubt I could afford shooting aerochrome but love the look and this will be even better for astrophotography because a lot of cool stuff hides in the infrared, kinda like using the screen like a waist level viewfinder.
Canon Powershot A590 IS, tiny little point and shoot, I keep it with me at work just to have a camera with me, fun little thing.
Sony FD Mavica FD75, it's a floppy disk camera, it was too weird and retro for me to ignore, got working batteries for it just waiting for floppies
Sony DSC-P71: another odd smallish digital point and shoot, looks like some 2000's scifi tech, takes AAs, and Sony's long since abandoned early memory sticks of which I have 2× 8meg versions.
Film Cameras
Canon EOS Rebel Ti, loads the same lenses as my T6, seems to work good though I have yet to develop, fun to use, very comparible to my Rebel T6 in use, would love to get its bigger brothers the EOS 5 or EOS 3 to try out the early eye-control system but this cute little silver thing is staying with me.
Asahi Pentax K1000, my Grandfather's old camera I have inherited, looks good as new, has a wonderful weight and sound to it because it's a brick of metal, been shy about shooting with it until recently because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a manual camera yet but I've just loaded a roll into it to get started (hope it develops well) and was delighted to see the meter works.
Polaroid Impulse AF, last, but certainly not least, a Camera I bought as a kid purely because instant cameras look "neat", it somehow survived me as a kid (tendency to disassemble things to see how they worked) and now Adult me is quite pleased with the shape it's in with a fresh pack of new Polaroid 600 film run threw it, the sonar AF works great, wonderful viewfinder, and it still takes great shots for a decades old camera that was in the hands of a crazy kid.
Considering saving for a medium format at some point and eyeing the Hassleblad 500 ELM or ELX even with the risks, they look close enough to the Apollo moon cameras that I can't realistically resist as a space nerd
Back in the 1980s a friend at work whose father died left behind a leica rangefinder outfit with 4 telephoto and wide angle lenses and an attachment that turned it into an slr camera for macro photography, must be worth some money now if he sold it on ebay.
Nice collection! Watching this made me reminisce about cameras given to me while working at a camera store from 1992-2013. I only kept a couple Nikon film bodies & Nikkor lenses but I still think about the array of gear I donated to the store display.
Love looking at old cameras! Thanks for sharing. Btw am I the only one who wish that Fujifilm would make their lenses look older, like their cameras. I want my X-T2 and 3 to have lenses that look like old canon and Nikon lenses. :P
The canon „a“ models only work with battery
Had a canon 630 for a while. Get a copy of the cheap 50/1.8. It felt cheap. It looked cheap. But it actually took really awesome photos. Super simple lens design, and kinda noisy autofocus, but it totally worked/works. My judgement on the lens is based on having MANY canon autofocus SLRs over the years. Lotta great lenses, but if you want something cheap that makes the camera worth having, that's the lens.
I love your collection! You really have some of the best cameras ever made IMO.
Also thank you for showing example images from most of the cameras, a lot of people don't bother to do that and it's a nice touch.
A little extra work, but so worth it. 🤝
Nice video. I personally am partial to the old Nikon cameras. I have three Nikkormats, a Nikon F, and a Nikon FM, all working. I shoot quite a bit of black and white, and I use these cameras all the time.
A little story about the NIMSLO, these cameras along with rivals and some cheap plastic CANNON, NIKKONS, ect were sold vis multi-level marketing schemes for hundreds of dollars to people who knew nothing about cameras. Eventually, millions of these ended up at thrift stores selling for several dollars each. The 3D cameras have had a revival and are now grouped with the LOMO cameras and can be pricey. I have probably passed on hundreds of these at thrift stores selling for a few bucks.
the amount of dust on that Fuji Instax SQ1 says alot about the camera.... and believe me i owned one and it sucks as well as the whole instax line, i still have the instax wide which i might sell
great ending!!
😏
Hello great video! Love all the cameras, I just started film photography and I wanted to ask you how do you know you are focused correctly? I’ve been struggling a bit with that and it would be great if you could help me!
Really cool video. Just found you through youtube shorts. Nice camera collection. Very nice.
I recently won a Nikkormat FTN for $25 and got lucky -- everything works, just needed seals.
DAMN
Do you ever think about having some of those non-functioning cameras repaired? I know a guy who does AE-1 overhauls for around $100, which is not a bad price these days for a camera that is undeniably a classic.
One at a time, yes!
Ae1 is a plastic peice of crap.. nikon fe. Much better
Very nice camera collection. I have a collection also. Like you, I have some that were dead when I bought them or they died. Problem is that the cost to repair most cameras is at least $200 and most are not worth servicing. I could usually buy a working copy for less. I recently took 4 of my nicer cameras in for a CLA, that was $900.
7:37 I bought a broken Nikon L35 AF broken and managed to get it out of self timer mode by screwing open the back! It's now one of my favourites, SO sharp
Wait, what?! What did you do after you opened the back? I wanna use it SO BAD
@@graincheck Here's the blogpost from JJ Lee I followed! I didn't manage to repair the self timer unfortunately but that's a small loss considering the fact that it works now.
theshuttergoesclick.blogspot.com/2014/03/nikon-l35af-shutter-release-and-onoff.html
I have to ask: Why do you own three dysfunctional AE 1's ? Would not KEH be able to restore at least one of them for a reasonable price ? (living expenses, notwithstanding) That'd drive me nuts ! For just pure 'loudness', that orange behemoth of an instant camera - Fujifilm Instax; avant garde styling personified. That's a real Photographic Museum Curator's wet dream. By the way, what lens were you using on your XT4 that day ?
Love the video, the chain mic is hilarious! I've never heard of a land camera. I've wanted to get into medium format but I don't know where to start.
How familiar are you with film? The Fuji GA645 is a point and shoot style medium format cam. Really great starting point if it’s in your budget. Otherwise, take whatever you can get your hands on!
@@graincheck I was just looking at one thank you for the green light! Congrats on the Leica!
Nice collection.
The Nikkormat EL is a battery pig, but really well built, and if you don't have a good battery (or any battery in it), it's just dead. Nothing really mechanical about it at all.
I've got about twenty 35mm cameras (incl 8 Nikon film SLRs) and 3 MF film cameras. They all work, thankfully. At some point, I need to thing the non-Nikon herd, but a couple have sentimental value, some are cool (the OM1s I have), etc. I have a problem. LOL
Volume is bit low mam. But I'm a huge fan of your work ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Too bad the Nikon didn’t work. The shutter sounds like the firing pin on a hunting rifle.
The RZ is such a pro camera, and I like the way you use it, like no tripod, handheld, like Sissy Lu shooting street with her 500 Hasselblad .. 🤪
And shout out to your partner! Nicely done! Retrospekt can fix your non working Polaroids and they are pretty reasonable and very reputable.
Thanks for the great videos!
Love your videos! If you don’t know about it already, you should check out the Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens for your EOS (check MPB or KEH), great little lens and decently priced, one of my most used lenses on my Canon EOS-1n camera. 🤓📷
I llove your channel,
I noticed at (13:50 mark) in one of your pics using the Mamiya RB67 a photo of a place called Astoria and I recognised the location from the 1985 movie "The Goonies". It's the seascape photo of the rocky islands. Wow. ❤❤❤
The Contax G2 is very yummy. I'm taking my cameras one by one and making videos on them.... for your that would take years!!
maybe there's some issue with the batteries in your Canon AE1?
You can get an adapter for $20 that will allow you to put the lens from the Nikomat onto the Canon. May sound sacrilegious but it works.
Widelux! Widelux! Widelux! Taylor, get your buddies at KEH to fix you up with a Widelux panoramic 35mm camera. Will blow your mind!
at 3:12 "....pritty good sound"?-what?, guess you have never heard the shutter/baffel sound of a Hasselblad 500C/M ! now that is geourgeous !!!!!
Love the video as always, also I have the same Minolta srt 101 with 58mm 1.4 & 28-200 on it.
I think mine collection is more than you 😂 but mostly shoot on Minolta SRT 101 bcoz I loved it :)
I had a vintage yashica camera that belonged to my dad
Unfortunately the shutter got stuck and the lens broke 🥲
*Boyfriend Then* : "I got you this C220 I hope you like it and it inspires you! 💖 "
*Boyfriend Now* : "I CAN'T EVEN MOVE ANYMORE"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Anyone else’s tight headphone sound not clear on this video?
Right*
Whoops 😅
Out of the blue, UA-cam suggests this video. I'm an enthusiast photographer and a bit of a collector, shooting both film and digital, so I click. Also, my brain autocorrected your channel name into "grainchick" - I dig it! - but then I read it again, and telepathically apologise to you. Oh, I enjoyed this video. The lighting was so nostalgic, and your collection is quite lovely and eclectic. It would have been fun to see the two instant photos you took (I thought you would use one of them to show us what camera you were filming with). I also love your energy and enthusiasm, and I say 'finally', because so many photographers on UA-cam seem to forget that photography is, above all, fun. You're lovely. I subscribed. I'll drink water. Thank you! Cheers! --Rick
Wow. What an amazing comment to receive! I’m so glad you stumbled into my corner of the internet
19:00 IS TAHT OAKLAND?
Dope video !!! I too love + have the: AE-1, Muji, Canon 630, RZ, Land250, XT4...but I'm itching for a GFX lol.
You should try replacing the battery in your AE-1 cameras. I'm guessing that's why none of them work.
ohhhhh i love your vibeeeeeeeeeeeee! if u'll ever come to germany pleaseeeeeeeeeeee hit me up! same with switzerland and austria! or europe in general?
You know you can get the camera repair I believe KEH camera does it
Calming video. Which video camera did you record this on? Beautiful 👌🏼
Seems to me you did not disclose your latest 35mm addition. ;)
Nicee cameraa collection 😍
