This tour is the one I have always wanted to do for everyone to see! Seems we just needed the right guest for it to become a reality. We have been trying to do our part to keep film alive for over a decade now, but I think communicating what we are doing has always been a pain point for us. Your visit and questions helped everyone in the team communicate just a bit more than we would as Finns normally. Thank you Destin for the visit (and all the rest)! - Juho ps. If anyone has questions that didn't get answered through this tour, comment them below and I will do a Q&A on the Camera Rescue channel.

@stevekristoff4365 4 місяці тому
I am glad that people like you are taking the initiative help keep this hobby alive. I still have my cameras from the 70's-90's (and older view and wet plate cameras) and still use them though not as much as in my youth. Always loved the hands on / technical aspect of recording an image going all the way back to camera obscura boxes/rooms). It was a huge shock as you alluded to with the sudden demise/switch to digital (I still have un-used kodak film processing mailers it was so fast of a decline). It's making me rethink on what I should do with my collection when I die, perhaps donating them opposed to in many cases them being just tossed which would break my heart. Hope your business thrives and incentivizes others to do the same.

This should be the basis with any product. I recently bought something and it felt already like it had been used for 10 years when it was a new... Ready to break at any moment. The quality control in the company is basically non-existent and the products are made to break as soon as possible... New ones are sold at ridiculous prices. And whenever the company decides to do their next product, the current product will be useless and you cannot get new ones anymore. The of the product obviously uses glue and all the usual things to make it as hard as possibly to repair on your own.

One thing that really popped out to me was the literal English translations that the finns have vs. Destin. 'you purchased ' 'I didn't purchase, the company did.' 'so, you purchased the camera' 😅
@tapio_m6861 4 місяці тому
The issue might also be in how the Finnish language differentiates between you (singular person, *sinä* in Finnish) and you (group of people , *te* in Finnish). If someone would say the sentence *you purchased* in Finnish to that person (= "sinä ostit..."), it would mean that it was literally you as a person that purchased the camera. To make it mean that *the company bought the camera,* the sentence would have to be *"te ostitte"* which given the context would be understandable as the company buying the camera. So in this instance English language is failing to give as much context as what these people might be used to. So really, it's the lack of English language differentiating between a single person "you" and a group of people "you" that might cause issues here.
@Listaihminen 4 місяці тому
@@tapio_m6861 Not to argue with you, just to give some more context. This also happens in finnish. Someone might ask a colleague ”are these your tools, can I borrow one I need?” and they just might answer ”they are not mine, the are the companys tools. You can borrow it”.

Dear Destin an Juho: To both of you, my sincere thank you from an almost 76 year old Canadian, to make this truly international. Cameras have fascinated me for decades. The tour through Kamera Rescue was even more than educational and fascinating, to the point that I wish I had another 76 years to study cameras and my guitars in the true detail that they deserve. But, by far, my greatest takeaway, was your minds. I only happened upon Destin's two sites today and I find the scope of your interests enthralling. At 55, I went back to school to get my MBA, bordering on PhD. in international sustainable marketing and, Juho, your circular economy concept, as practiced by your company is worth advanced degrees in study around the world in its potential economic and cultural contribution. Thank you sincerely, Bill from Toronto

But then again, I think maybe announcing your plans to visit a place is an enormous amount of pressure from both "what if there are too many people who want to see me" and "what if there are none" points of view. I don’t know for sure. All I know is it’s cool that cool people from all around end up visiting Finland for something they find cool about things we do here and how we do them.

Destin, can we please get a deep dive into camera shutters like you have done for engines? I’ve always been fascinated by the mechanism and tried to understand how it works but there’s no good resources. It seems that a shutter mechanism is one of the things that holds people back from being able to make their own film cameras, lens optics being the second. Everything else in a camera is basically just a lightproof box and some mirrors, but the shutter mechanism is special.
@akyhne 3 місяці тому
Lenses are way more complicated to make, than shutters. And asking how shutters works, is like asking how a steam engine, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, an electric motor and a jet engine works, in one question. As you saw in the video, the old Leica essentially had a clock mechanism, while cheap cameras have a simple spring load, and some uses an electronically controlled motor.

This may be the Finnish meek-pride in me, for seeing us represented up on the world stage, but I can wholeheartedly say that I found it absolutely enthralling seeing you make a video from my home city, after having followed you as a cool Alabama engineer on the internet, for more than a decade! Enjoyed the original vid you posted last year, and loved the follow-up in this one, and for that, I'd just like to extend a warm "thank you" to you, Destin! If you ever decide to return, perhaps for some hydraulic press shenanigans, a meet & greet would be excellent!

Analog photography just makes you feel some kind of way. It's somehow a very comforting feeling, makes you feel all warm inside. No amount of editing can get it right, digital still looks digital. Fuji comes close with its film simulations, but analog is still King. Thanks for the tour, Destin!

Love the video, the whole process and their love for the old cameras, the mentality of the Finns. Greetz from Germany to Tampere and it’s neighbor Lapua, where I know some ppl.

So much analog technology thought to be useless is now valued for its tactile elegance. 4 years ago an excellent camera had little market value and now has a value that exceeds the original price. Amazing. I miss the one hour film processing that was omnipresent 20 years ago. The OM 1 was my first love. Kodak Brownie was my first basic camera in 1960. Big old black and white 126 film that I could barely afford along with processing. Every picture is a treasure from those cameras.

Gratu from Hungary. I lived a year in Helsinki, bought my first camera in the Aleksanterinkatu, an FM2, I became a professional photographer at home, thank you! This idea is great! I have some same way of thinking, I use old medium formats and build custom cameras. It was good to see some other believers.

Great to see that there is such an interest in preserving the knowledge to keep old cameras going and available for the new generations of enthusiasts. I had a camera repair business from 8th grade through collage that paid for collage and lead to an engineering career in the photo processing equipment industry.
@rudycandu1633 3 місяці тому
I had been heavily involved in photography. Multiple 35mm, two medium format, two 4x5 view cameras. Home darkroom B&W printing, and a tiny bit colour. Studio flash lighting. At one point I took a break from it, put it all away to pick up later. When I finally did come back to photography I bought my first digital camera, the Canon 300D. That was the time that digital started to take off. Soon afterwards I realized that film was dying. It was very emotional for me. I cried. I hope film will make a comeback and my cameras will be loved by people after me.

Wow! Couldn’t imagine it was so big. I have bought some gear to my olympus/OM digital cameras from kamerastore in Finland and it has always been a good buy. Good pricing, fast delivery, about 1-2 days to Sweden. I guess they throw it on a plane right away 😂 I have linked to their site when people need camera gear and I hope some has checked out what they have for sell. Nowerdays I choose to buy used cameras, lenses and other gear associated to cameras if I can find a good deal. It’s good for the enviorment, you save money, and you can afford different lenses to choose from. I mean why pay 1200-1400 € for a lens when you can get the same lens used for ~700-900 € or ~2000-2300 € for a new camera when you can get the same camera used for ~1200-1400 € whit a low shuttercount in most cases from beeing used whit electronical shutter. Thank you for this tour from your visit at Kamerastore! I really would love to go there some day. 🇫🇮🇸🇪😁

At some point close ish to the end of the documentary (can't call it a clip now can I), I found myself smiling pretty hard, and realized have been doing that since a long time ago, probably close to the start of the video I'd say. Can't really remember last time I've so wholeheartedly enjoyed a video. The interactions you experienced there were so genuine and candid, people were passionate about what they were doing... such a lovely experience this must have been! Thank you for taking us along for the ride! 😁👍🤝

Another great video, thanks Destin and Juho. I often think about the work of incredibly talented engineers that make the cameras possible, that make my career possible. We never get to meet the engineers though; they are like mysterious oomaploompas, kept safe from the public eyes! I love that moment in the video when Juho is talking about the R&D that went into each of these older cameras. It's marvellous to see that dedication honoured, and given a second life.

I am slowly but surely taking my repair skills and learning camera repair. Ive been a huge fan of what they are doing in Finland. I would love to see something like their repair school in the US.
