  • In this weeks Film Photography Friday I review my experience shooting the Olympus AF1 Super with Kodak Gold 200 film in Ireland. The Olympus AF1 is a compact point and shoot camera which shares its beautiful f2.8 Zuiko lens with the Olympus XA which I have reviewed on the channel before. Honestly this is one of my favourite point and shoots as its quality isn't far off the infamous Contax T2 although I don't have to worry about keeping it safe as much as I would with one of my Contax T2s.
    If you enjoy the Film Photography Friday series and would like to help support the channel by donating the price of a roll of film a month you can do so here and I would massively appreciate it!

    I bought an Olympus Af1 with the really sharp 35mm 2.8 lens. £20 for a fun camera I don't have to worry about.

    Love the AF-1so much, I have three of them :-) One regular, one Super and one Super with data back.
    Still great value for money. And so nice to be able to use it in the rain without worrying too much.
    And yeah, the flash is great!

    • @AaronFleming
      @AaronFleming  5 років тому +1

      They're not far off the contax T2 at all. I know the picture of Jess is the only one in natural light in this video but you can see from that that it's great quality. I actually meant portrait mode in the sense of flash whereby if someone is close to the camera the flash doesn't flash as brightly

    My AF-1 is about to arrive tomorrow. You stated that you can turn the flash off. Is this correct? I heard the flash is always on auto and you can't manually turn off the flash.

    • @AaronFleming
      @AaronFleming  5 років тому

      Yeah so my af1 has a flash button up top on which I can set it to fill, backlight correct, auto, constant or off. What versions of the af1 do you have? Does it look like this one or look older and what lens does it have

    • @vasilakiz

      The af-1 super gives you the option of turning the flash off,the af-1 does not.

    I've just brought this camera as my first point and shoot camera and it's my first time working with film. Is there any reason you use the film you did and not something like a colorplus 200 or a fujicolor c200? I'm so confused on what's best for these cameras. Any help or suggestions from anyone would be really appreciated

    • @AaronFleming
      @AaronFleming  5 років тому +2

      Congrats on the camera! I use Kodak gold for two reasons, it's cheap and I just really like the colours. If you have a look through my channel you'll see videos I did with colorplus and Fuji c200 and you kind of just need to decide what look you like the best. Remember the colours of an image are due to a film and the sharpness etc. are due to the camera or lens

      @@AaronFleming thats not true though. Film stocks definitely differ in sharpness and graininess. And if you're shooting a point and shoot then the only way you intentionally change the sharpness of the image (besides pulling focus properly) is by changing film stock.
