A bit of a different format this time. In which I fully geek out about one of the most important cameras in photographic history. The Hansa Canon. The first actual camera that Canon made and a hugely important part of camera history.
I got so madly into this camera that I wrote an article about it and the history behind it. It is absolutely fascinating. Please check it out here. It is a huge honor to be able to handle a camera like this.
Please consider helping us keep on making these videos by hitting the link below and getting some lovely JCH gear. We have just got the new Maneki Neko T-shirt in and it looks awesome so go and grab one whilst you can. We also have mugs and stickers.
You can see some of the lovely cameras we have for sale here: https://www.japancamerahunter.com/product-category/sale-items/
We are continually learning how to improve our videos and we really enjoy making them. Though they are time consuming so we cannot make them as frequently as we want to. Please consider supporting us by buying some merchandise or a camera so we can make more great videos. We have more cameras in the pipeline and are always open to (reasonable) suggestions. Your feedback is valuable. Please make sure you watch, like and subscribe. The more views we get the more we can put into making quality content for the community. You can see more videos here.
Cheers
