This thrift haul is full of amazing 35mm film cameras like the Canon ae-1, Canon FT, Olympus om1, fujifilm, and point and shoot film cameras like the Minolta! I can’t wait to put some Kodak Portra 400 in them and go! What film would you want me to use? Which of these thrifted cameras do you want to have?

    The Olympus OM-1 are a great Camera, BUT the fast shutter times 1/250 1/500 and 1/1000 can be a little too slow, so you get light overexposed images. Get a OM-2 or OM-2 Spot.

    First, the Canon TL DOES take a battery. Its cover was on the top side when you tried to open the back cover. And PLEASE: the word 'manual' you misconstrue. As applies to SLRs and other cameras, 'manual' means ONLY that one can set one's shutter speed and aperture. This attribute can apply BOTH to cameras with clockwork shutters (FT) and with electronic shutters (AE-1). When you are referring to a shutter mechanism which is clockwork (i.e. springs) please refer to it as having a MECHANICAL shutter. I will trade you my camera knowledge any day for your expertise with putting together, editing, and lighting a youtube presentation. Excellent, but a bit naïve with cameras. - David Lyga (age 71)

    @@film_friends Did you get the OM to work? In fact they are very sensible to the batteries. I got an OM-2 and an OM-4. Sadly my OM-4 is striking, it doesn't want to put the mirror down, nor to fire. I need to get it to a specialist to repair it.

    Vlogging setups are much cheaper these days. You can get a used GoPro 4 black or any old GoPro newer that 3 for like 1-200 and the wide angle works well for vlog. Then for sound I use a little audio recorder. I can get one for $100. Cheap vlogging for -200-300. If you end up getting a new phone you got it! If you plan on staying still you can get a canon rebel t3i for nothing
