Great video haha
Great video hahato be honest I am not one of those people who cares about the whole influencers racket .. like you said its been going on forever. but I gotta give it to their internet friends and influencers, they are pretty excited about using film, like they should be ! film is fun and its fun that can last a lifetime.
still people are funny they actually think that perfume or pants or shirts or cameras sold to them by a Movistar or internet movie star / influencer / ticktocked is going to change who they are. oh well. I think people's expectations are kind of over inflated by gear sold to them via video by some talkster ..
I'm still waiting for my gold bars ... so I can buy a gigantic camera this guy sold me, most definitely ...
I’m contacting because I want to be your friend and confide in you because I have in my possession now 92 Kilograms of Gold Bars, Quality: 23 carat, purity 96% that I inherited from my late mother which I want to ship to your country and sell for investment in your country because I want to leave XXXXX and relocate to your country to continue my education in your country. I want you to stand by me as my tutor and ship this Gold Bars to your country and sell for investment in your country. Note that I am writing you this email purely on the ground of trust because I don’t know you and we have not met before. I found you here and my mind convinced me that I can trust you.
Waiting to hear from you.
Random Youtube guy? No, of course not. Trusted expert on Youtube? Well yes, of course their opinion matters. You have to do your homework, and Youtube is one of many places to do it.
Random Youtube guy? No, of course not.
why not?Does anyone actually buy equipment based on a review by some random guy on YouTube?
Great video haha
Here is the best leica reviewer.
This statement is just wrong. If Pete is using a tray to develop his film by inspection, that offers the ultimate in control and consistency.
I've been waiting for the Canon owners to post "Nikon" and the Nikon owners to post "Canon" to this thread.
And then to have both of them post "Leica".
He can't even keep his specifications straight from one sentence to the next. "APO means professional". HAHAHAHAHAHA. " And "This helps you to refine focus when you auto-focus, because this lens is very sharp". BWAHAHAHAHAHA. ON A LEICA M. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.Here is the best leica reviewer.

I know how my developers work so there is no need for midprocessing inspection.
I guess we have to think about whether we actually want a self timer. (I have them on a few cameras and never use them.) Or a depth of field preview. (ditto.) etc.
Paying less for more features might be appealing to some and less appealing to others. I just checked eBay - K1000s and KX cameras both appear to sell below $200 with a lens included, which is a great deal imo. There was a K1000 for $175 that included three lenses. It's hard to go wrong with these simple old cameras.
T-70 is the real last and best F-Mount IMO.Back to the original subject.....
Possibly blasphemous, but I nominate the Canon T-90 as somewhat overrated based on personal experience. I have owned two, both at the same time, and one had twice experienced the dreaded "EEE" error. After the second trip to my repair guy, and within his guarantee window, out of frustration he traded me an A-1 for it. Thus, I never trusted the second one, and always worried that it too would suddenly fail. It didn't but I used it very carefully and infrequently.
T-70 is the real last and best F-Mount IMO.
FTb, A-1, F-1 are very good too. But the weight,
reliability, design, metering, modes etc. totally makes up for lack of double exposure and stop down.
So I said the Pentax K1000 is overrated means I cannot afford it? I have 2 for free and still I think they are overrrated.Photographic Definitions:
- Overrated ==> You cannot afford it
- Underrated ==> This is what you have
- Too expensive ==> You will never have one, even in your dreams
- Crappy box camera ==> No one will give you one of those beauties
- Those cameras do not focus well ==> No one will let me touch those cameras
- Only dentists own one ==> you are just a cheap bastard
For every unreliable POS you will always find some lucky person who swears up and down by that particular piece of equipment. And they will either downplay the service they needed or claim none was needed.My T90, owned from new since 1987, has had one service by Canon Aust. and is still running perfectly. Its multi metering patterns and accurate TTL flash are the main reason I would use it over my other FD bodies. The F1N and EF are my favourite users. I have a mint A-1 owned since 1984, (maybe the best one still in captivity), but it doesn't get a lot of use. When the T90 dies then c'est la vie...
The T70 is butt ugly but it does have average and partial metering modes and they are not well known and thus very cheap even here in Australia. Also vertical running metal shutter for reasonable flash sync speed. Haven't heard about their reliability electronics wise.
I'm over the CDS metering of the FTb and similar cameras and their reliance on 1.35V cells. My F1-N and EF will get the job done for some time to come as they have both been serviced, use currently available batteries and in a pinch will still operate without batteries (may have to fall back on to my Gossen Profisix for metering for a few days - Silicon photocell metering once again!).
why are they over rated ?So I said the Pentax K1000 is overrated means I cannot afford it? I have 2 for free and still I think they are overrrated.
There are a lot of hype about the K1000. It came about around the turn of the century. Before that it wasn't overrated. They said something like it's the best camera for students. Built like a tank. That caused the price to rise significantly above of those similar and better cameras.why are they over rated ?
when I made the thread the idea I had in my mind is
that there is a lot of hype revolving around certain gear
some that it will make you a better photographer, some has to do with prestige
the K1000 is cheap and a basic camera that functions and often times can take a beating
and still function. why do you think the K1000 is over rated because it is just as good as the camera
that came before it and they shouldn't have changed the name ? is there a certain amount of hype around the camera that
the camera doesn't live up to ? I can't imagine how it is over rated and looking forward to your reply !
I agree... I have a K1000 and love that thing. And I can afford the lenses.I've been using a K1000 as my main 35mm camera since around
1980. I have a MeSuper, and a L**a too...
and while the Mesuper would be my desert island 35mm,
I'd rather use the K1000 every day ... It was purchased new at a local
department store with a lens for $129,
and
has only gone to the shop once
about 4 years after it jumped out of a hole in my backpack
and the baseplate slammed the sidewalk when I was running for a bus,
I had duct tape on it for a few years while I continued to use it
( that was 30 years ago ).
I don't think any other camera I own / have used would survive slamming the pavement like that ...
for me at least, it is UNDERrated, not OVERrated...
YMMV
