Very helpful video. I've been looking for a small camera with a 5 aperture blade lens. Basically a hexagon. Most point and shoots have a diamond shaped aperture which makes less attractive pictures. I think I will get one. But many for sale don't come with the case. How do you conserve on the battery then? Would you tape over the CDS cell?

Great video, Eric. I was gifted this camera and have enjoyed using it. You really covered all the features. I hope you will post more videos in the future. I noticed you haven’t been very active recently. I appreciate your clear, thorough, interesting videos!

You introduced me to Minolta system, so you're the MAN! Very informative video, but for stand development from where do i have to take my times? Trusty source.

Brilliant

I won a OM2 on eBay for £20. Have to collect it but I can’t wait to start using it

I sold my Xpan and I bough the Horizon. I sold Xpan because one day not worrking is so hard to repair it. Now I got the Horizon perfect I love to play with this camera. More fun than the Xpan

I have an M3, and this the clearest explanation of how it all works that I have seen.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this camera. I just picked one up yesterday for travelling with as a backup to my Nikon FE. I ride all over Europe by motorbike and I need something that will last the pace with the rough and tumble. Also, the Nikon was a wedding gift, so I'm a bit loath to subject it to too much battering! So far, so good. The "off" button underneath takes a bit of getting used to, as does the fact that with the wind-on lever pressed in, the shutter can still release, unlike the FE. Still, I'll just have to get used to not winding on immediately after taking my shots. The action is superb, I'm shooting with the 50mm 1.7, and a yellow filter. Can't wait to get home and get the first rolls of film developed. Your video is really in-depth and we'll presented. I'm going to subscribe. Respect, from Europe. PS, in Europe the designation is SRT 303 or 303b. JFYI.

Nice video. I have one of the earliset versions that was given to me by the original owner in Germany who is a great freind of mine. I have always been very staisfied with the images from this camera and it is a joy to use. Typical German engineering....excellent +100. OUt of the myriad of cameras I have owned and tried, 100% of my cameras are German. They just made the best ever and I do not think there is amodern camera today that can top them. Rollei, Voigtlander, Leica, Agfa, Zeiss...perfection.

Hello Eric, I have a Leica IIIf without a spool. What would you recommend?

Awesome review! Which camera do you think has more upside, This Canon or Olympus 35 rc?

Great video! By far the best one I've found of stand development.

Hi my 7000i only lets me use manual focus despite me depressing the AF/M button at side of the Camera! Should I be doing something else to make the AF work or is there a fault with the Camera? Thank you 🙏🏾

Great videos! Is there a way to connect an off camera flash?

I have watched this video at least 6 times. I wish I had a darkroom, but I don't. After over an hour of trying to load 120 film on a reel, I'm now certain that loading 120 film on a Patterson reel, in a Patterson tent, is the challenge I will receive when it's time to pass through the pearly gates. I'm equally certain that the test was created by Satan himself (or herself). In light of that, I will just jump off of the metaphorical cloud into the seething cauldron below and take the easy way out. This is why I prefer 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 sheet film.

Fantastic, loved the straight honest review from the heart and i think you like it, i have one coming next week!

Just found your video. I am thinking of buying this camera and your explanation is just wonderful to watch. Thanks a lot for this! I could listen to your voice explaining cameras all day❤

The confidence he has in this video make me feel like I can shoot anything with this F3

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 OG you could teach a class on this camera 😂😂

My Rollei is just Rollei 35 is it a fake one or?

Thanks, this was very helpful!

Thank you so much !! Literal life saver

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Excellent review! Good, balanced evaluation of all aspects of the camera, particularly the wide range of ISO settings!

Great job explaining this camera and its functions. I have this same camera, and I can’t understand why the same vintage Pentax cameras are going for so much more. However, I did like the LED meter on my Pentax MX better. But, I agree with you, Eric, the SRT series are very well made.

This is the definitive M3 plus accessories video. I didn't know about the MR meter or the dual range feature of the lens. Great video!

I just got one of these, in mint condition, for 310 UK Pounds 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks!

I'm going to be switching between rolls for an upcoming shoot and my canon always puts the film leader back (tried the different C-fn and still did not leave the leader out). Would this in any way damage the film if I switch rolls using this technique multiple times?

Hi, I have a very basic Agfa Isolette V. The bellows are in pretty poor shape and I am looking for another 6x6 folder. Hopefully slightly higher end, with a range finder. I was advised that Mamiya Six is a really good bang for the buck. How does Mamiya Six Automat compare to Agfa Super Isolette? Which Agfa Isolette model is the closest in features, build, and image quality to the Mamiya? Thanks...

You are my hero!!! 🙏🙏

I absolutely love it and am convinced that I must have this camera. This is probably the greatest camera review of all time. Thank you sir!

Eric, This is a great video, It is very informative and frankly better than anything SF has produced. I have been using SF HDR for 4 years. It has been a 4 year love/hate relationship. I enjoy the feature rich capabilities of the Software, but my workflow has never been able to get traction and speed up the process of film scanning because on one bug or another in the software or because of one more hill in the learning curve to overcome. It would be different with outstanding support, but I find SF support is minimal and the help of poor quality.

Great video, thanks!

Thx nice video

I love you, stay black

Very helpful. Thanks for this video.

Agfa super isolete is supposed to be the superb folding camera made ever. I. Purchased one second hand in very good condition for my collection with a solinar 3.5 lens. I also purchased its younger brother isolete lll with 3.5 solinar lens but. non coupelled rengefinder. It also gives superb results. Sologon, solinar, and apotar,agnar, are superb and famous lenses of agfa products, and Iam crazy of agfa folders, 1950 to1960was a time for using folders and zeiss super ikonta, Fujica, solida ,kodak,,were blooming inthe field of folders. But in my opinion I found super isolete is one of the best in the field that time. Thanks to Agfa, Germany for releasing out standing products of all time. S.K.Pareek.Bhawanimandi.Raj.India.

Thanks for this video review. I found it useful. I have two ME Supers, an OM-1 and an M-1. Thinking about it, Olympus got the size down through moving the shutter dial and keeping everything mechanical. On the other hand, Pentax got rid of the shutter dial/ring all together and introduced a bunch of electronics.

Useful info, thanks for your thoughts on the Trip 35, I just picked one up recently after a long quest to find a good, working one locally at a reasonable price. I like the look and spec of the DC model, I think there is an RC model also, not sure of the differences?

I have a set of three Retina cameras in my collection. And aal three are in A one condition. I have fully enjoyed using IIIC and IIB. All the three models are with different lences, xenar, schnider,and Rodenstock. 2.8 and f2. With wonderful performence, color sturation and sharpness, and Iam happy with it and grade them as Leicas of Kodak for their great performence. Iam frequently using them as they are antique treasure now. Thanks to KODAK for releasing such a marvel. S.K .Pareek. Bhawanimandi.Raj.India.

1. Leitz Barnack 2. Rollei 35S 3. iPhone Pro Max latest. In 50yrs, the Barnack will still run, the Rollei will have eaten film and the i-what? is forgotten.

Thanks Eric for another great camera review. I bought an Olympus Pen F 2 or 3 years ago. Fortunately it came with original black leather case, clip-on light meter, books and an f/1.4 lens. I got it professionally CLA'd and it's in great condition except for a small dent on the side which has no effect. Just a little feed back on your video; on the intro to the photos of your children the music comes in a bit too loud compared to the volume of your voice. Thank you from Adelaide, Australia. P.S.Pentax (Ricoh Imaging) are bringing out a half-frame 35mm film camera amongst the others they are releasing.

Nice review! Very accurate. I used both the N8008 and N8008s in the ‘90’s as a photojournalist before switching the the Nikon D1. I loved the N8008’s. Much better than the N4004 and N6006 which were the first Plastic Nikon SLR and redesigned compared to the N2000 and N2020. The N8008 was light yet durable for newspaper work. I loved my FE and FM2 with the MD-12 motor drives but they were heavier. F3 with the MD-4 was a lead weight tank. Those old AF lenses are a smidge slow focusing but tack sharp! I still use a couple old Nikkor AF lenses regularly in my camera bag. Yes the Nikon SB-24 & 25 Speedlights were used with the N8008. TTL Flash with the Infra-Red focus assist was terrific. I haven’t shot film in 26 years but my N8008 has earned a special place on my old camera gear display mantle.

I love to have creative control but there are times when you just don’t want to think too much about the shot but just take it. This would be perfect for those situations.

I think Barnack made the first 'Ur' cameras to test short lengths of motion picture stock (which was inconsistent, and needed testing). It was later that he turned his testing device into a dedicated stills camera. (Is that right?)

I wonder if the curliness is a product of the age of the base film? When I develop 10+year expired Kodak it turns very curly, fresh Kodak never does.

These scanners cannot scan at 200mp. (The maximum equivalent megapixel of film is in the 12-24 range. Kodachrome can be higher depending on the year is was produced & if a good lens was used & if good technique was practiced). They have been tested and the XA is around 3600--3800dpi, not 10,000. The Epson 850 is less. The stepper motor can advance in small increments. This does not mean the sensor can resolve detail however. In order to get a higher resolution scan, you need a drum.

Thank you :)

As a teenager after watching the movie Blow-Up, I saved up enough money to buy a 35mm and ended up with the Trip 35.
