That was a fun review of your awesome camera collection. Might have to buy a Widelux now… Can‘t wait for all your upcoming videos :)

Yeah, those Mamiya shots are just unbeatable!! Great roundup. My favorite this year is absolutely my Yashica Minimatic from 1964 given to me by an old relative. It's a rangefinder with a selenium meter that does full auto exposure with no battery! It's my "Leica" and I love it dearly

This was such a fun way to review all the cameras 😆 You have so many cool film cameras! I want to get into film photography more but not sure which to start with it. I was thinking of the Canon AE-1 but I also love the look of cameras like the Mamiya and Widelux.

[HilkoGuitars]

Thanks for the video's you create, enjoy them a lot.
Fascinated by the Widelux I found your channel.
Hope to shoot or mabay own the widelux one day.

Love this vid! The shots from your Mamiya and Portra 400 are so good. So good. Thanks for always posting such refreshing and uplifting content, your channel is soul soothing. ❤️

Getting a Mamiya 645 next week … this made me even more excited!

[neeravnaik]

Loved it ! Would like to see similar awards for film stocks.

Really enjoyed this video, the Nikon F3 is an absolute beast.

[dksgo]

i love this video :)
nikon fm2 and minolta 7sii is my best camera in 2024

[VictorReynolds]

Great wrap up for the year! I know photographers who swore by the Mamiya 645 and the Nikon F3.

[fedyachistyakov]

I really liked the photos taken with the Kiev 88. Honestly, the fact that this camera is so unreliable makes it even cooler. Thanks for the video, it was very interesting!

[stephenjones]

Great video.I bought a Canon EOS 1V film camera love it.

Hey 👋🏻

Great content ! Just came back from a Paris trip. Spent 4 days in Le Marais using my Contax T2 with Kodak Tri-X 400. I was lucky the weather was sunny and good, decent lighting ✨️ can't wait to process the b&w film this coming week.

( I need to get a Nikon F3 when I visit Tokyo next Spring 2025 ! ).

I purchased a GS645S at the beginning of summer and it has completely taken over for all my shooting this year.

[Rkolb]

Canon AE-1 must be one of the all time greats , I have one too 😊
Would like to try a Kiev 88 even with all its faults . It’s like wanting a Range Rover even though you know it will break . Nice video good work . Cheers

[lIllllIllllllIl]

My favorite this year has been my Mamiya RB67 with Frankinstax back. I've taken over 1, 200 photos with that setup 😍

[BYMMooVs]

TFS. Just got a Mamiya 645 and looking forward to shooting it. Probably will take it to Hawaii in January. And just shot a roll with a Nikon F2 with mostly good pics.

[vishwamchand]

Would love a more detailed vid about the kiev!

[PhongJr.]

Thank you for the review of your Mamiya 645.
Kiev 88 to Mamiya 645 lens adaptors are still available in case you find a Kiev 88 fisheye with all the filters at a good price.
