While I never had an issue with touching the mode dial when operating the winding lever, I have heard many say it.
My thumb grabs the top of the lever, so I never even get close to touching the dial, and when I am shooting and winding, I never fully close the lever and I use it as a somewhat thumb-rest area.
I bought it, looked through the viewfinder and sent it back. It is too small for me, not sure if you covered that in your review as i didnt watch all the way.
Can't decide between this or wait for the Mint Rollei 35 AF
Is the Ricoh GR3 smaller? Kinda wild if we are getting great APSC cameras smaller than this. Albeit the Ricoh is more expensive, but if you price in film and development and high quality scanning.
I know I'm gonna get hate on this, but I'm curious why people would go out in 2024 and shoot film, especially 35mm. If it's for the process, it doesn't seem to be a very appealing process (or cheap for that matter). Is it for reminiscence purposes? I grew up with film cameras and music tapes. Would definitely not want to go back to those. Just curious mainly.
finger foreground xD brilliant video as always Bobby, production value is off the charts! please do one for MiNT's upcoming Rollei 😀
Im shooting my first roll thru it and i really enjoy how the camera feels in the hand!
For me, the repairability is a huge factor. I've had a number of 35mm and medium format cameras and it's all great until something breaks. If it's a Leica, you are looking at hundreds and months of waiting before you get it back. Some electronic cameras are not repairable. It's a lot of hassle when you are just trying to enjoy photography in your limited free time. This is not quite the film camera I'm waiting for, but hoping there will be more in the future!
hope you will also have a chance to test drive the Rollei 35AF when it finally launches!
