  Thanks for putting this together. You provided quite a bit of useful information. I wanted to get a lightweight, pocketable, and “inexpensive” 120 camera. Just purchased one for a maybe decent price given its condition, waiting for it to arrive and super excited to shoot my first roll through it. Will update.

  I'm lucky enough to have each of these cameras... well, unfortunately I DON'T have the Leica! - Damn! Mind you I have a couple of Russians. I'll revisit them... your conclusions are interesting. The Canonet is a fair bit bigger than a Leica though.

  Very helpful video. I've been looking for a small camera with a 5 aperture blade lens. Basically a hexagon. Most point and shoots have a diamond shaped aperture which makes less attractive pictures. I think I will get one. But many for sale don't come with the case. How do you conserve on the battery then? Would you tape over the CDS cell?

  Thanks for sharing your experience with this camera. I just picked one up yesterday for travelling with as a backup to my Nikon FE. I ride all over Europe by motorbike and I need something that will last the pace with the rough and tumble. Also, the Nikon was a wedding gift, so I'm a bit loath to subject it to too much battering! So far, so good. The "off" button underneath takes a bit of getting used to, as does the fact that with the wind-on lever pressed in, the shutter can still release, unlike the FE. Still, I'll just have to get used to not winding on immediately after taking my shots. The action is superb, I'm shooting with the 50mm 1.7, and a yellow filter. Can't wait to get home and get the first rolls of film developed. Your video is really in-depth and we'll presented. I'm going to subscribe. Respect, from Europe. PS, in Europe the designation is SRT 303 or 303b. JFYI.

  Nice video. I have one of the earliset versions that was given to me by the original owner in Germany who is a great freind of mine. I have always been very staisfied with the images from this camera and it is a joy to use. Typical German engineering....excellent +100. OUt of the myriad of cameras I have owned and tried, 100% of my cameras are German. They just made the best ever and I do not think there is amodern camera today that can top them. Rollei, Voigtlander, Leica, Agfa, Zeiss...perfection.

  Awesome review! Which camera do you think has more upside, This Canon or Olympus 35 rc?

• 
  @FilmPhotographyChannel23 күн бұрын

  Definitely the Canon. It’s probably the best fixed-lens film rangefinder ever. It has a perfect lens, great ergonomics, good viewfinder, etc. checks all the boxes. The Olympus lens is nearly as good and the camera is a little smaller. It doesn’t have the ergonomics of the Canon but it still gets the job done.

  Hi my 7000i only lets me use manual focus despite me depressing the AF/M button at side of the Camera! Should I be doing something else to make the AF work or is there a fault with the Camera? Thank you 🙏🏾

• 
  @FilmPhotographyChannel24 күн бұрын

  Has it done that with every lens you’ve tried? The lens should move and make a noise when you attach it. It will also revert to autofocus when attached even if it was in manual previously. I would clean the lens and camera contacts to eliminate that as a cause. Also give the AF/M slider a little “exercise” meaning gently rock it a few times while the camera is turned off. It might be as simple as the internal contacts on the switch are a little corroded. Good luck!

  Great videos! Is there a way to connect an off camera flash?

• 
  @FilmPhotographyChannel24 күн бұрын

  Yes since it has a hot shoe, you can use a simple cord that connects the camera to your flash. Search on amazon for “off camera flash cord” and you’ll find several. You won’t have TTL so you have to use a meter or old school Guide Numbers (which work really well). You can even use multiple flashes if you get a set of wireless flash triggers! This is more complicated but I’ve used them successfully (with a flash meter) on any camera with a hot shoe or a PC socket.

• 
  @nedmacfadden765423 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the info! Is the PC socket on the camera? There seems to be an accessory I see in some images that shows the cable connecting to a bracket, but I can't tell if it's to the bracket or to the camera body. I was really interested in the Minolta HiMatic 7sii, but it seems like x sync is only through the hot shoe. Is that true? I think in the end I'm going with an Olympus 35 RC for a lightweight, easy to carry set up.

• 
  @FilmPhotographyChannel23 күн бұрын

  The cord I’m talking about slides onto the hotshoe of the Rollei (or any camera with a hotshoe and the other end connects to the shoe of your flash. It’s usually a coiled cord which allows you to setup off camera flash-not a PC cord. The wireless trigger usually comes with a PC cord to connect to your camera in case you need it but it also has a hotshoe that goes on your camera and then the remote triggers attach to your flash shoe. The wireless setup works best with a flash meter or you could also use a digital camera to test the light for shadows and bright spots before committing to film.

  I have watched this video at least 6 times. I wish I had a darkroom, but I don't. After over an hour of trying to load 120 film on a reel, I'm now certain that loading 120 film on a Patterson reel, in a Patterson tent, is the challenge I will receive when it's time to pass through the pearly gates. I'm equally certain that the test was created by Satan himself (or herself). In light of that, I will just jump off of the metaphorical cloud into the seething cauldron below and take the easy way out. This is why I prefer 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 sheet film.

• 
  @FilmPhotographyChannel28 күн бұрын

  I would point out a thing or two in case they might help. Check the leading corners of the film to make sure that they aren’t sticking out and getting stuck in the reel. You can roll the leading edge of the film backwards (against the curl) to make the leading part of the film straight instead of curly. Also can you pre load just an inch of the film onto the reel before putting everything in the bag? The first few inches are blank and have no photos. Good luck!

  @@FilmPhotographyChannel Another YT person said not to get frustrated. That didn't work lol. Another YT channel suggested putting a folded photo paper ramp (I used thin mylar that I have for making digital negatives), through the reel slots, in front of the feed openings. That helped a lot once I figured out that the ball bearings were "stuck" (new reels). Also, I ran out of expletives... I think that's when things turned around. I have film loaded on a reel and in the tank. I can try the preload idea too, Thanks a bunch.

  @@FilmPhotographyChannel I developed the film this morning. I had two over exposed negatives (first two) and 10 that may be under exposed. I'll see what happens when I scan them. I kind of expected that. I haven't shot my Hasselblad V series in almost 10 years. I haven't developed film in almost 10 years. It's been 7 years since I made a photograph that I cared about with digital or film. Simply put, I burned out. I shot the Hasselblad as a way to pull me out of the photography slump I was in. Seeing those negatives made it worth the effort. The whole process has been full of little road blocks. I forget the Hassy won't fire if the dark slide is in. With a winder, it makes a "noise" but doesn't advance the film That took a while to figure out lol. I checked my Panasonic light meter for function the day before I left on a 2000 mile round trip drive to NW New Mexico. The battery was dead. The battery is a little odd and I had to order it. No problem, I'll just use my Sekonic light meter. That got me close but it's not the Pentax and I am rusty. All I needed was an EV, except I wasn't sure about where to put the zones. In the end I went with f8 and be there. The trip was for work. I had time to shoot 2 rolls and that was it. All in all it was the kick I needed. I'll shoot some 35, more 120, then move on to 4x5 and maybe I'll get comfortable shooting 8x10. I develop the sheet film in my Jobo. Hopefully it's still functional. A darkroom would be nice to have.

  Eric, This is a great video, It is very informative and frankly better than anything SF has produced. I have been using SF HDR for 4 years. It has been a 4 year love/hate relationship. I enjoy the feature rich capabilities of the Software, but my workflow has never been able to get traction and speed up the process of film scanning because on one bug or another in the software or because of one more hill in the learning curve to overcome. It would be different with outstanding support, but I find SF support is minimal and the help of poor quality.

I also purchased its younger brother isolete lll with 3.5 solinar lens but. non coupelled rengefinder. It also gives superb results. Sologon, solinar, and apotar,agnar, are superb and famous lenses of agfa products, and Iam crazy of agfa folders, 1950 to1960was a time for using folders and zeiss super ikonta, Fujica, solida ,kodak,,were blooming inthe field of folders. But in my opinion I found super isolete is one of the best in the field that time. Thanks to Agfa, Germany for releasing out standing products of all time. S.K.Pareek.Bhawanimandi.Raj.India.

  Thanks for this video review. I found it useful. I have two ME Supers, an OM-1 and an M-1.

  Nice review! Very accurate. I used both the N8008 and N8008s in the ‘90’s as a photojournalist before switching the the Nikon D1. I loved the N8008’s. Much better than the N4004 and N6006 which were the first Plastic Nikon SLR and redesigned compared to the N2000 and N2020. The N8008 was light yet durable for newspaper work. I loved my FE and FM2 with the MD-12 motor drives but they were heavier. F3 with the MD-4 was a lead weight tank. Those old AF lenses are a smidge slow focusing but tack sharp! I still use a couple old Nikkor AF lenses regularly in my camera bag. Yes the Nikon SB-24 & 25 Speedlights were used with the N8008. TTL Flash with the Infra-Red focus assist was terrific. I haven’t shot film in 26 years but my N8008 has earned a special place on my old camera gear display mantle.
