@adriancozma6102 That’s fine, we all have our own preferences and can do what we like! The scanner option works better for me. Thanks for your thoughts.

@@Caballeroshot Exactly! Great comment 🙏 The V600 is also good value - a third of the price of the V850, or less.

@faiosung The V850 looks very nice, but it's three times more expensive than what I paid for the V600. Good point about age. It can be difficult finding parts and getting older products serviced. All I can say is that my V600 is still going strong after seven years.

@@PhilUKNet i got the v850. it wouldn't connect to pc. i am going to scan with my camera

@roidnerd2501 They're designed this way. With batteries that are already charged, the chargers that show a percentage will show a high percentage. When the charge cycle has finished with already charged batteries, the amount of charge put into the batteries will be low. The chargers measure capacity on the discharge cycle. If you forgot to record the capacity, you will need to do an analyse cycle. This will charge the battery to full, discharge to completely empty and measure the capacity, then charge to full again. I don't think you have a faulty unit.

@PhilUKNet great news thank you phew I only need good stuff to play my gameboy

@@roidnerd2501 Have fun with your gameboy!

@@roidnerd2501 You made the same comment on two videos. I answered in the other video!

@PhilUKNet my bad I copied and pasted it to other videos must have clicked this twice as my comment is on this same vide9 i think

@@roidnerd2501 No problem!

@roidnerd2501 Sorry, I don't have a link. I just buy them from one of the local stationery shops that sell many sizes. The ones I use are 20mm x 8mm, but 22mm x 8mm will be perfect!

@JensMHA Thanks for your comment and for making me aware of the Epson FF-680W. I just watched Keith Cooper's video about it, and what a fabulous little scanner if you have lots of prints. It's incredibly fast, and having the automatic feed is so much better. Doing this task on a regular flatbed scanner would take forever. I bought an Epson printer last year, and I'm now a big Epson fan. Their products are well thought out and well made. My task was to scan in negatives, so even if the FF-680W had been around previously, it would have been no use. Thanks again for the heads-up about this scanner, and good luck with your remaining scanning using the V600. It won't be quite as simple, and it will require more intervention, but positive slides, 35mm and 120 negatives won't be an issue. When my Dad died last year and I inherited the family photo archives to scab, it was basically the same kind of thing.

I'm sorry, I can't. I've only had experience with the 70mai Pro and A800.

I sent my T90 to the USA recently for a CLA. It's an amazing camera. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! Thanks for getting in touch 🙏

@@ncrtedted6812 Beautiful Krabi!

@@texasgiggle When I got the scanner, I was using Windows 10. I have since upgraded to Windows 11.

@@djmarundy Pleasure!

Someone else did point that out to me, but thanks anyway! I haven't had any problems with the buttons ... yet. However, I most use my Powerex, and the Liitokala doesn't get used much these days.

@Aspen1117 Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment 🙏

@astrodoug I don't know. Not being able to focus to infinity was the problem using FD lenses with SLR and DSLR cameras, but that problem went away with mirrorless cameras. I have no experience of EOS-R, just EOS-M. Neither do I have any experience with the Pholsy adaptor. Do other FD lenses focus to infinity with your adaptor? The 28mm lens has a very deep depth of field, and I've not had any problems with focusing. It could be your lens or maybe the adaptor, but more likely the lens if other lenses work OK with the adaptor. Good luck. I know how frustrating focusing problems can be from experience with other lenses in the past.

@@bgregg55 LOL! It seems to be more of a problem with my 70mai Pro because the GPS module moves the lens away from the windscreen. If the lens is right up against the glass, it is better. But I agree with you. Camera manufacturers don't seem very interested in the problem with reflections. A CPL filter is a lazy fix and cuts out a lot of light. There are better solutions.

@AJ-sy1mp I can't say categorically whether it is safe or not. All I can say is that I live in southern Thailand, where it can get quite hot. This year has been hotter than usual, with temperatures of +40C for long periods of time. I have a 70Mai Pro, and my wife has a 70Mai A800. There haven’t been any heat-related problems with either the cameras or the batteries.

Good point. Thanks for the suggestion.

Pleasure!

Thank you! It's a lovely lens. I think the most difficult aspect of product photography, eg wristwatches, is the lighting. It's not easy getting nice, even lighting with no glare or shadows. Good luck, and enjoy your new lens!

@@PhilUKNet - Thank you mate! Lighting is my passion. 20 years in, I'm still obsessive over it like Rain Man! LOL!

Probably the difference with lens coatings or filters. I use skylight filters on my lenses just to protect the front element, but these can change the colour of the sky. For the comparison, I should have removed the filters, but I forgot.

@@PhilUKNet thanks for sharing that!

@FelipeOliveira-zi7ly Pleasure! I just checked, and there is a Hoya 1B Skylight on the FD lens and a Hoya UV on the EF lens. It was my mistake. I should have removed the filters. Thanks for pointing this out.

My son plays football, and I take quite a lot of photos of him playing. I have never considered using my 400mm lens. When he plays indoors, I use my EF 85mm f/1.8, and outdoors, I use my EF 70-200mm f/4L IS. I use a Canon EOS M6 Mark 2, which has an APS-C sensor. I use both a standard Canon adapter and also a Viltrox speedbooster. The speedbooster reduces the focal length by x0.71 but gives me an extra stop of light, which is very useful indoors. For the football shots I do (especially using a crop sensor camera), the 400mm lens is just too long. It would be very difficult to keep fast-moving action within the frame. It's also a bit slow, especially indoors. In my personal experience, lenses for football don't need to be any longer than 200mm, and speed is important. A lens I've considered buying for this is the EF 135 mm f/2L. An f/2.8 70-200mm would also be good. These are just my personal opinions based on taking photos of my son playing football. Other people's experience may vary. It also depends on what kind of football. When my son plays, I watch from the touchline, and I'm very close. If you are taking photos of professional football and you are in the stands a long way from the pitch, then yes, a longer lens will be better because of the extra reach.

It really is. Optically, the best lens I have. Is your 0.71 adapter the Viltrox one? I have a Viltrox 0.71x speed booster for my M6 Mark 2. I'd like an R7, but it's late to the game now, so I'm waiting for the Mark 2 version.

@@PhilUKNet I went with the Canon version. 2 small annoying things that you need to accept the message when the camera wakes and manually remove fringing since Canon refuse to support it (even though the meta data knows it’s adapted with their own 0.71)). I think that’s a sensible decision to hold out for mark 2, I think rolling shutter will be improved

@mvp_kryptonite Thanks for the info. I'm in no hurry to move to EOS R, and the rolling shutter seems to be the biggest criticism with the R7. Hopefully, that will be fixed or improved with a Mark 2 version. To be honest, I'd be happy sticking with EOS M, but Canon have now abandoned that system.

That's right. On the latest IBIS bodies, these old lenses should be pretty good - provided your eyesight is still good enough for focusing manually! I owned the EF 70-210mm f/4L before I got the IS version. As you say, the optics are very good. However, when I moved to the new version, I found the IS really useful. I've seen these advertised used for very low prices and they are great bargains. Thanks for your comment!

There is also canon EF 70-210 f4, the really old one,which is quite budget and it is same.

🙏

That's the first time I've heard the A1 described as sexy!

Yes lol😂, just that some controls are too small that lead to some annoyance

Hello Beth. I've only ever seen this error after messing around with the stop-down lever. If you push in the stop-down lever then release it without taking a shot, it can cause this error. To clear it, push the film advance lever into its fully retracted position. Underneath is the multiple exposure lever. Push this to the left, and then advance the film lever. This will cock the shutter without advancing the film, and it should clear the error condition. If it doesn't, then maybe you have a fault with the camera or the lens which will need fixing. Good luck!

I haven't used it for a while (a few months), but I just plugged it in to check, and it all looked normal.

I believe it does.

It certainly makes life interesting! The bits I've caught on video have been quite mild. I've seen far worse, but no video.

I had the same problem. When I first got the camera, I tried the parking surveillance feature but decided it wasn't any use. I haven't used it since.

Mine was working fine until this weekend I have the same problem as you do.did you manage to fix it

@@davidtavdis5170 no. It seems that this is the way it was intended to work. I've learned that from the support team.

The hot climate isn't good for batteries. I hope you have success with the charger. It can't fix serious issues, but it can remove some sulfation from the plates and give the battery a slightly longer life.

The camera uses 135 film, more commonly known as 35mm. This is very common, and even now, it is still easily available. Next, think about the ISO value you want. Lower numbers (100) are less sensitive to light but are less less grainy and provide more detail. High numbers (400/800/1600) are more sensitive, thus better for low light, but grainier. If you're shooting outside on bright days, 100 or 200 will be fine. Your next decision is colour or B/W. After that, there are many different brands and film stocks. It's just personal preference. Kodak Portra, I find, is really good for skin tones. Just experiment and find something you like. A roll of 35mm film normally has 36 frames, but you can also find film with 18 or 24 frames. Hope this helps!

@@PhilUKNet thank you!! I appreciate how quickly you responded

My pleasure! Some of the functions seem over-complicated, although I'm sure they are useful at times. I was out with the 300TL a few days ago. I just had my T90 CLA'ed and wanted to test it, so went out to do some street photography with an FD 135mm f/2 and the 300TL. You can see the results on my latest video. I just set everything on Auto, including the 300TL, and the TTL did a great job managing the flash exposure. When I'm out taking photos, I just think about getting the shot and I don't want to worry about camera and flash settings. That's the beauty of the P setting on the 300TL and it works well!

I live in southern Thailand. The outdoor temperature is sometimes +40C. I haven't checked inside the car, but probably +50C. I've been using the camera for several years and have not experienced any heat related issues. That's all I can say.

Thank you!

The internal battery is only 500mAh, so it won't work for very long. It should have a constant supply from the car battery.

It won't. The camera has a G sensor, which is triggered by the physical movement that occurs when there is impact. It doesn't work like a PIR sensor that can detect motion in the field of view.

@@PhilUKNet thank you for your response 🙏

Mostly, I use analyse mode or charge mode. When batteries are charging, I couldn't work out why the mAh was so high compared to the rated capacity. As you say, it's efficiency. This reading is what the charger puts out, not what the battery accepts. Analyse mode, I believe, measures the battery capacity on the discharge cycle. It's been a bit of a learning curve, but I've learnt more from comments. Thanks for adding to my knowledge!

Thank you! I used a 40D for several years and loved it. The extension tubes are just a way of reducing the minimum focusing distance. This lens is so sharp that you can get decent macro shots with an extension tube. However, it won't work with a 1.4x or 2x extender. I've actually been using this lens a lot recently to get shots of my lad playing football. I've been using a Viltrox speed booster and Canon EOS M6 Mk2. The speed booster gives me another stop of light, so in poorly lit indoor pitches I can use an aperture of f/1.2 with the 85mm f/1.8. This means I can use fairly fast shutter speeds at reasonable ISO levels and freeze the action. For the money, it's a great lens for portraits, macro and action!

@@PhilUKNet Well I “pulled the trigger” this morning and purchased this lens on eBay (Camera store with 3 month guarantee) for £140 including postage….I think that’s reasonable in comparison to some advertised prices!

I bought mine in March 2010 in Thailand. The price with a front lens filter was Bt15,750. The exchange rate then was around Bt50, so approximately £315. If yours is in good condition, that sounds reasonable!

Good idea. When I replaced the battery, I just used the same 500mAh, but a higher capacity should be fine as long as it's the same voltage.

@@PhilUKNet I won’t upgrade it actually I fear the complications with lithium batteries, anyway I have a constant charging from the car battery, all I will do is prolong the 3 wires connections and place it away from the heat

​@@PhilUKNet btw Do you know which pin is the -5V (ground) on this camera? 👌

@@krzysztofstaszewski5607 Sorry, I don't.

Nice! Yes, it is compatible with this lens. The extender will only work with certain lenses, and this is one of them. You will lose a stop of light, so your maximum aperture will be f/4.

A very timely question! I have two A1s about the same vintage - very early 80's. One is still OK, but the other appears to have developed a shutter problem. My T90 also started playing up with the shutter problems that T90s are famous for. I sent it to Steve Sweringen in the US, who is considered something of an expert on these cameras, and it's currently on its way back after being CLA'ed. These cameras were magnificent in their day, but they're all getting very old now. A1s are well over 40 years old, and the cloth shutters only last so long.

Thank you!
