I just dug out my grandpa's old x570. Looked the name up to learn about the camera nd this vid comes up. No regrets.

@@xhynetuseinovski I know nothing about cameras lol. Haven't figured out how to use mine yet but the quality looks pretty good from what I've seen.

Nice video - very well done and contemplative. My father gave me an X-570 back in the 1990's (he passed in 1993) and I just got it out of my attic today and I will absolutely shoot some film using it. I came back to this camera the long way. My mother had a massive stroke last August and when I visited her in the rehab facility I also brought along her fathers (my grand fathers) photo albums. The photos were all shot with a pre-war Leica and many of them are spectacular. My mother loved the pictures and although she could barely speak I could tell they bought her some peace. I thought to myself that it would be great if I could somehow replicate the experience my grandfather had taking pictures of my mom when she was little with a Leica 1. My mom passed away in December and after that I was scanning through e-bay and came across a black paint Leica 1C that was made in 1930, the same year my mom was born. I bought it and had it CLA'd (Cleaned, Lubed, and adjusted). I was amazed at the clarity and character the pre-war camera and lens were able to produce. Now that I have my fathers X-570 in my hands I will aim to do the same - when I turned the camera on the display lit up and I heard that distinctive beep - these are the same batteries that were in the camera when my dad gave it to me 30+ years ago.

wow man that’s very touching. thank you for sharing that. it’s been a while since i made this video and i’ve been through a few cameras since then and sad to say my x570 advance level has an issue so ive basically retired it but i plan to get some other film camera soon. film is just irreplaceable.

@xhynetuseinovski Consider a Barnak Leica - they're completely manual and mechanical. Yes they're old but once you get them CLA'd (cleaned, lubricated, adjusted) they will likely be good for the rest of your life. There are a few folks in the US that do a great job with this. I picked up a 1930 Leica 1C after my mom passed and it's an amazing camera. Later versions like the Leica IIIf made in the 50's combine the focus window and viewfinder. I have a 1952 version of the IIIf - that's the camera that gives me the most joy to shoot. It's also the cheapest way to own a Leica. Good luck in your journey.

That shot of the bench next to the basketball court is CRISP. I love it, man.

Thanks a lot! The 4K on the A6400 is pretty darn good for it being an APS-C camera.

Thanks for the video. Great choice on the camera. My first camera purchase was a Minolta SRT 101. I purchased it in 1969; my first year in high school. Good luck with your new purchase.

No thanks for checking out my video! Just finished my first roll today. I’ll be making a video on the results once I get them back :)

Really enjoyed how thoughtfully you presented this short film of how you got into film photography. Great storytelling. It's a relatable story about nostalgia and really makes you take pause.
