I love my 2x Trip 35. just for Your expectations. (Or mine) I don’t compare it to premium 1.4 glass. It is for casual shooting with good 9x13cm prints. Not for large 22” monitors. And that’s great quality at all. Nice greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 thanks for the video
Interesting overview of your thoughts on this iconic camera. After a lengthy search, I've managed to pick up one. I guess it is what it is, a 1960s designed camera for the consumer who knows little about photography but wants to capture those holiday and day trips out memories. It's definitely a step up from the kodak instamatic camera my families memories were captured on.😊 I've added your channel, it's always good to connect with other photography creators.
You hit the nail on the head. Exactly right. For the time a fantastic little camera and to some extent great fun today. How are you getting on with yours? Thanks for your support and ditto.
@@mattbentley-walls3106 Cheers, appreciated.👍 I only just picked it up recently, so not tried a film in it yet, the seller did include a roll, which I was glad of, especially as I knocked his asking price on the camera down a bit. 😊 I'm currently shooting the little Olympus Pen EE, it's half frame cousin, again not fully film tested that one either, so I'll have to wait and see....🤔😁 All part of the fun of shooting film.😁👍
All part of the fun indeed. I'm just in the process of testing my Pentax Super A light seals with 10 exposures of film I ''bulk loaded' into a canister🤞🤞
Matt, Don’t forget you are probably comparing it to Leica glass and mechanical perfection MP body. I would be interested in your reactions and thoughts on how it impacted your process, ie much more like zone focusing approach vs rangefinder patch exact focus technique, 40 mm perspective vs 50 mm for framing and composition, less awareness of monitoring light levels with auto exposure, less control over dof and the artistic effect possibility. A sense of almost loss of control of the process and how you react to this ,limiting or liberating? I myself am shooting mostly digital now and recently picked up a very tiny Ricoh GR3X , apsc size sensor 24 MP ,40 mm equivalent fov . LCD only no viewfinder, and I am quite frankly astounded at how enamoured I am by this little beast of a camera. The digital files and color and b&w profiles are gorgeous, lens is sharp as a tack edge to edge, I find the way I use it and the total change in my process to see ,frame and take an image has really surprised me. I have very bad GAS so have very many cameras medium format digital, 8x10 film etc etc and I find myself almost exclusively reaching for this little point and shoot. thanks for your video and thoughts.
I'm really pleased I had a go with it/or tried it out. As a precise focus shooter, sure it was different and I enjoyed the process but I could help think that if I want to shoot with something lighter and more portable I'd probably on balance prefer to shoot with my Pentax Super A with a little nifty fifty 1.7 lens. Yes its a little larger and heavier but Im going to get infinitely better images all round. The 'loss of control' as you put it (and I really like this term) is great but if I really wanted to go down this root I cant help feeling I would rather shoot again with a Pentax Zoom 60 or equivalent, something of that ilk. I really like the idea of point and shoot sometimes. I really love the idea of the Ricoh GR cameras but I'm not sure how I would take to a no viewfinder camera. There's loss of control and there's hope and prey. Seeing an image through a v/f is not something I would or could ever feel comfortable with, but like most things, perhaps its just a case of getting used to it?
