Like ancient VCR menus of yore, the Nikon N80 requires having a reference guide to understand what the heck its custom settings are. You access the custom settings by switching the top PSAM dial to the CSM spot, then using the front and real dials to change menu items and the status of each of […]
Read More...How to Fix Sticky Rubber Grips on Old Cameras
Sticky rubber. It’s one of the worst aspects of dealing with aging electronics. It’s why Dank Pods has to wear gloves when going on a lucky dip. And old photo gear has loads of rubber on it, all of it just waiting to turn into gross goo as it ages. It might feel completely random, […]
Read More...New Video: Instax Mini 12 vs 99
It’s the battle of the little giants, pitting Fuji’s most expensive and cheapest Instax Mini cameras against each other. Both the Instax Mini 12 and Mini 99 are great cameras, so how do you choose which is the right one for you? I go into all the details in this video, but if you’re hungry […]
Read More...New: Instax Mini 99 and Polaroid Impulse Not-AF Reviews
We got two new camera reviews up for you to check out! On the vintage Polaroid side of things we have a comparison between the legendary Impulse AF and it’s slacker twin brother the Impulse… not AF. As you can see in the above comparison, there are certainly differences in certain situations, but the Impulse […]
Read More...How to Fix a Broken Nikon F100 Door Latch
The plastic latch on the Nikon F100 door is notoriously fragile. For years I’ve had an extra Nikon F100 sitting a drawer after the latch snapped during a shoot. I couldn’t figure out how to repair the door to keep it closed. Sure, you could tape it shut, but that’s a recipe for disaster (and […]
Read More...New: All About the Instax SQ40
Now that it is Fuji’s ‘flagship’ Instax Square camera in North America, I’ve given the SQ40 a full proper review. Unfortunately, it’s just a literal reskin of the slightly cheaper SQ1 camera, and it still doesn’t hold a camera to the discontinued SQ6. If you can get a deal on one it’s a perfectly serviceable […]
Read More...The Canon EOS 700 Is Weird
The Canon EOS 700 is a strange beast. One of Canon’s first cheapo EF system cameras from the early 1990s, it’s an ultra-affordable way to shoot 35mm film with modern-day Canon glass you may have lying around. However, the ergonomics, build quality, and controls are some of the weirdest I’ve ever seen on an SLR […]
Read More...New: Nikon F100 Written and Video Guides
The Nikon F100 has long been my go-to 35mm workhorse and favorite camera to use alongside my Polaroid SLR 680. I’ve put together both a video and written guide on how to use the camera, drawing from over a decade of continuous F100 use. I’m in the process of testing several vintage film SLR bodies […]
Read More...New: Z30 Review
It’s a rare day when I post a digital camera review, but I love my Z30 so much I felt compelled to write about it. Most entry-level cameras are filled with compromises, but the Z30 doesn’t seem to hold anything back. It’s the camera I use for all my recent YouTube vids and I’ve had […]
Read More...Where Can I Find Polaroid Spectra Film?
I’m not going to keep you in suspense. Nowhere. You can’t get it anymore. Polaroid Spectra is gone. Sorry. When Polaroid ceased production of film back in 2008, the Impossible Project rose up from the ashes and created their own unique stock of film that would work on the countless vintage Polaroid cameras still out […]
