Great video! I hope one day I can afford a Rolleiflex....

[JustPlainCurt]

Interesting. Nice collection and good to see a fellow collector.

[PAC1977IRISH]

You should clean your nose before you make vids!

[AnalogSoulPhoto]

Nice collection! I too am an avid collector and photographer and really enjoy others' enthusiasm ;-)

[Toxiclevideos]

Do any of 'em still work?

[fallenskater124]

i want all of your cameras. those are just amazing.

[firemusic82]

I like when you said digital killed everything. I don't totally agree, but most of today's digital point and shoot cameras still don't come close to making the quality of photos as those Rolleiflex TLRs. Film is not dead. Medium format film crushes most digital. I just love medium format.

[guiwalrus]

This is amazing! You got a nice collection, man! 

[josj15]

hi there would you mind shooting and posting some footage with those cameras? it would be interesting to see a picture from 2011 shot with an old camera like that , would one from the 1990s for example if used today would the video still look like most videos from that era look like when shown on tv? can someone answer, ive been wondering that for a while

[RecordGuy3434]

You can find regular 8mm film for that bolex at my old camera.com and it can be processed at dwaynes photo or film and video services

[NothingMuffins]

Awesome cameras :D

[ristancarl78]

sir i found that old polaroid at my local habitat for humanity

[notyouraveragecow]

Fun fact :) They had ish Instant cameras BEFORE polaroid! They were called Mandel Postcard cameras. It was basically a darkroom in a camera!

[ReeceIsDaWord]

very cool, i love old cameras

[professormikeadams]

you are correct about the old Polaroid Land Cameras, but the new ones eject and develop before your eyes!

[pixty1]

@professormikeadams were do i get the cameras that when you take a picture that it comes out but i can still put it in the computer . (:

[KingCast65]

@professormikeadams Love you man!

When I said I was going to make a movie with that Keystone I wasn't thinking about how in the hell I would get it processed.... probably have to ship it overseas or maybe Just Film in San Francisco would know....

Anyway, check this out on YouTube just cut and paste:

KingCast Vintage Cameras #1 Keystone KA 1C, Electra Power Pan 325

Don't you pull it out of the camera first, count it down then peel it apart?

[fairbanksop]

Very nice selection of cameras with good information on each one. Keep up the good work. regards, George

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Say, just wondering about the Press Camera, what was the little metal bar on top of the shutter used for on it? I also saw them on the original Polaroid Model 95 Land Camera. Any idea?

[professormikeadams]

@Morahman7vnNo2

The metal bar when pulled up makers a "frame," which you look through with a smaller metal viewfinder on the back, if that is what you mean. For framing the shot quickly, I think.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Thanks Mister Professor Mike Adams, can you give us a demonstration of how to use the Frame Bar?

[Grandam1974]

Thank you for this video. I'm still using a Kodak Stereo 35, and a couple of other older Kodaks. Film isn't quite dead yet!

[professormikeadams]

I actually made a Viewmaster disc a few years back. A friend of mine had a few old blanks and the cutter and small tool and they came out fully registered and very nice! 3-D has made a comeback, although I have not yet tried the Stereo Realist format that my Kodak uses.

[Grandam1974]

The Viewmaster format was what I origionally wanted to use, but the cutters, blanks, and cameras are expensive and hard to find. I still think it's the neatest way to go.

[mikemaj2]

That's a grat video. I actually think of getting a tlr. You could make a video about film formats ;)

[professormikeadams]

Good timing - today I discovered some old super-8 mag sound from the 70s and I am looking for the best place to transfer. I have a display at my university of film cameras. Today I put a roll of 35 b&w in a camera and I am going out to shoot

[Organgrinder010]

Beautiful collection. I really love those old TLR's.

[professormikeadams]

Thanks for watching. Actually, I have even more cameras that when I did the video 5 years ago. Too many. I may try a new video some day . . .

[ahernra]

great video! i would love to see more of your collection!

[Wyrehedd242]

wow!! great collection! thanks for sharing! i have an old exacta that was my dads, and a couple old kodak brownies. =)
