 All right All right, what's up guys? I'm gonna do this one really quick because I'm hitting my busy season I'm gonna start teaching at Harvard West Lake this summer in a few days And so I got to knock this one out fast So today I just want to show off my veto to Voigtlander veto to I love this camera It is a beautiful small folding camera that shoots 35 millimeter film So what happens you press that button the lens folds right out So this kind of went out of favor and they stopped making cameras like this But there was a wide range of cameras made like this including in medium format six by six I think six by seven and I think even six by nine was made. So what do I love about this camera? So first of all, I love the process of shooting with different cameras and that's the main reason I love this guy I'll get to the image quality later, but it's so different than anything. I'm used to so first of all It's a viewfinder. It's basically a hole in the camera and that's how you have to kind of frame your image Second this is a it has scale focusing. So you have to zone it You basically have to gauge how far away your subject is and then Just Rotate the focus ring. I hope you guys can see that if not. I'm not editing it out too bad But you focus that you set your distance You set your aperture and shutter speed, of course, there's no light meter. So you're gonna use sunny 16 or an external light meter I use sunny 16. I'm never it's never off. I haven't developed the color yet though Which you need to be a bit more precise when developing or shooting and developing really So I can't say how good I am for sure at guessing but so far I've never been wrong shooting sunny 16, especially black and white So here's the quirk about this camera like one of the biggest quirks other than what I mentioned is that the mechanism for cocking the shutter and actually releasing it is Or whining your film excuse me is different. So you wind your film up here with this knob, right? But once you do that, you then still have to cock the shutter using this lever here Right there and so once you cock it, you're ready to go So when I first shot this camera after a few it took a few rolls to get used to I You know every time you're ready to take the shot and you're like, I forgot to cock the shutter But after like a few rolls you get used to it It's just like comes part of your workflow just you know you wind it set your aperture set your shutter set your distance Cock the shutter So here's the thing I liked about this camera and I just want to show a different camera It's not about this video. I mean it's not about this camera for this video, but the roley 35 right you can You actually have to cock the shutter in order to put the lens back into the camera, but The thing is I don't like that the lens is exposed, right? The cool thing about this camera is that because the lens is completely protected You can cock the shutter have everything ready to go and then just close it So everything set you press these two tabs right here close Close it up and it's ready to shoot as soon as you want to open it up and here's the interesting thing Because of it sort of clamshell styling It actually is more comfortable to slide into my pocket than say the roley 35 Which is a beautiful camera, but it's square design It just doesn't slide in as well And I actually think it's really hard to tell here But it might actually be wider than this guy is just by a hair And it's been more comfortable to throw this into my pocket. Just so if you guys want to see a size comparison Yeah, the Voigtlanders pretty big compared to the 35, but I mean Here we have a comparison to a Pentax 6.7. So this guy is a small camera So I'm gonna do a full review on this I also shoot it in an up future episode of some photography show future video will be a full review of this camera And I'll let you guys know what I think I'll show you guys a lot of shots from it The thing I'll say right away is that the lens has a lot of character and I really liked the look of the images I guess that's pretty much all I have to say for now I guess a lot of people that are watching this are gonna want to know do I think you should get this camera and If it's gonna be your go-to or your only 35 millimeter camera, don't get it. I'll be honest with you You don't want a camera with so many quirks unless I mean maybe you do But if you want it as like you're a very competent shooter that's gonna make your life easy This isn't gonna make your life easy. It will make your life more interesting think of it that way But as someone who likes to collect different cameras shoot different cameras. I highly recommend this camera.
