Показать описание
There are many variations on film formats that have existed over the years and one of the more popular ones is half-frame! Let's look at what half-frame is and how exactly it works when putting a roll of 35mm through one of these cameras in order to get a different image!

I'm glad I found this video because I've been trying to look up the Samurai, but couldn't remember the name. My stepdad had one 30 years ago. It was branded Kyocera and had green buttons instead of red, but otherwise it was great to see that again. And yes, whenever we were on vacation, people would always ask about our "video camera".

I love that whenever I search for something film related, AR has already made a video on the subject :)

My Uncle had one of these when he was on the Army in the 70's. I recently scanned all the images and printed them at 4x6
The resolution is pretty good at that size.

There was kind of half frame camera in Soviet Union. It was called Agat-18 (Агат 18), and it's been producting since 1987 to 1990 in BeLOMO (Belarus). It is very interesting camera, because of it's controls, she has two rings that control exposure compensation and aperture control, and Industar-104 f/2.8 28mm lens. Funny fact is that even being not so correct in her exposures, she was doing pretty good shots in low-light with shutter speed of 1/120th, and had even hotshoe mount for flash!

Half frame love! I’ve got an Olympus Pen EES-2 and Diana Mini, but man, that Yashica looks pretty sweet

I'm carrying around an Olympus Pen-EE these days as my pocket camera. Mostly I'm shooting with the diptychs in mind, and sometimes playing with "half-frame panoramics" where I'm shooting four or six frames in an arc. My first roll didn't come out, so the second roll is in now. I'm looking forward to developing them and seeing how it comes out.

I just inherited a canon Demi s from Vietnam from my grandpa and this is really helpful! Thanks!

I have a half-frame camera - a Chaika (Чайка in cyrillic) 2, which is a Soviet viewfinder camera, built from 1967 to 1972 in the Minsk factory MMZ, later BeLomo. It has Industar-69 lens, 28mm f/2.8, which were made specifically for the Chaika, they are on M39 mount, though.
It was on my grandpa and grandpa, my father played with it (it has a dent on the side, too), I took it, along with its original case, lens cap and the original handstrap. I haven't shot anything on it for now, but I plan doing it in the summer, when I go to holiday.

Love half frame - My Canon Multi-Tele is always loaded, since you never know when the diptych bug might strike - it's such an enjoyable option with your visual story telling.

I’ve got one of those goofy Yashicas and I love it so much.

I know im late but lets not forget about the univex mercury ii! Half frame, 65 + pictures, and a very unique rotary shutter. I have a fully working one, take it on the road with me, and load it with slide film usually

i had an analog Noritsu printer, there was a half frame negative mask and lenses, so you can print half frame negative individualy, as for digita scanner, you alsocancrop before you scan, so you dont need to scan 2 at 1 time.

Very cool, nice job! I just picked up my first two half Olympus Pen EE, and a very rare Edixa DUAL - full & 1/2 frame camera. Thanks for the great work!

Hi Are you sure about the Exa ? If so, it would have been the first one to do that and I wonder about the small labs handling the printing correctly way back then.

whenever i go traveling or just want to shoot memories instead of doing a project or some special shoot i use a half frame camera. either just an Olympus pen ee2 as a simple point and shoot or a canon demi with full manual control when shooting slide film for example! gives great quality photos and when put in the projector you don't see any diminished quality.
