I think using dispo as reusable camera is fun, and simple to use for travel without risk your slr camera. Thank you for sharing this video!

Thank you for the helpful video. My girlfriend always bought whole new cameras and gave the whole cameras back to the store when they were done. She didn't even know the films could be swapped until I told her about it. Today we bought a new film and i struggled to get it into the camera but with your tutorial it was quite easy. Now all there is to it is to shoot and see the results :D

Take this as someone who uses a Leica M4 as a daily driver; taking street photos of people passing by or in front of you is a roulette. Having been in many scenarios where people start agressive conversations knowing they're being taken a picture of, these sorts of "cheap plastic nostalgic" cameras may be a good way of handling such situations a tad bit easier. Also, I long for having a camera that does not scream "expensive" or "professional" at events.

Consider this not a "cheap camera" that is the lowest of tiers for street/event photos, but rather a beautiful little masterpiece which makes people feel more relaxed knowing they're in frame.

I like to think of photography being a physical sensation with psychological aspects. Nobody likes having someone take pictures of them in public without them knowing about it first, but knowing you're being taken a picture out of with a little cheap plastic camera makes me feel like the whole experience is a just "for fun". 
Use this information wisely, and do not cause trouble.

I watched a few videos of people doing it dark rooms sat with one of these cameras thinking why can’t I just do this then found this video? Makes perfect sense, thank you for the advice and clarification. Great video and easy steps 👍🏻

Well I feel silly for buying a two pack of disposables for my upcoming trips 😂 I will try to reuse them soon!

Great information presented well. Thank you!

[aristophanechay]

Thanks for the video!
Since the film roll is 36 exposures but the shot counter on the camera counts only to 27, how do you shoot the last 9 exposures when the counter hits zero? Do you open the camera in the dark and set the counter to 9?

Good video bro, these things are awesome to take pics at festivals, pull one out and everyone wants to be in the picture. Didnt even know you could reload them, def gonna try that, altough the price of film is almost identical to a new disposable, so i have to see. Good stuff anyways!

[arnoldpalmeroy]

Thanks for the Tutorial.

I have one question -- does the speed of the film matter so much? The Kodak I have uses 800 speed film. Do I need to replace with 800 speed film?

[leodji]

Man, that’s just a perfect video!!
Thank you for your work. Tried myself. Could recommend to others.❤️

[MaxximumAttack]

Since you can manually wind the film in/out have you tried a double xp?

[violetcheesecake]

Oh never thought about that thank you very much am definitely gonna try it out 👍🏼👍🏼

[weaponsgradepotato]

Very clever method to get the film in without exposing it. when all of the shots have been used is it safe to open up to change the film without exposing the used film?

[AanGozall]

Thanks for this tutorial. Been re-using my ''Kodak 800 Disposable'' camera for couple rolls right now. Thanks!

[vincentguttmann]

Another use case for them is as an everyday camera. My Canon A-1 with its 28 and 50mm prime lenses, and the 70 - 210mm zoom lens is very nice, but I can't just throw it in my bag and take it everywhere.

This camera is so cheap that it's okay if it gets damaged, and it's about as small as it can be.

Hello and thank you for your video! ❤ I just got one kodak and one fuji disposable cameras. Do you think I can use those negative slide/film scanners to get a digital picture at home. (or those light pads where u scan the picture with your phone)

[ulaylee]

Should I “push” the film if I’m shooting 100iso film on a disposable camera (meant for 800 iso film)? Thank you for your video!

[kentozapater]

So if i finish the roll, does the film get inside the roll again, or is it manual?

[shreeshsahu]

Is there any method by which i can rewind a few frames in Ilford hp5 disposable camera?

[alexpadillayt]

So Kodak disposable cameras are better too reload? Then Fuji?
