!Worked very hard to upload this in HDR, the pipeline from phone through Final Cut, and to YouTube is not nearly as easy as it should be, hopefully the colors look right on your screen if not please let me know in the comments!

In this video I try out a very pristine (cosmetically) Kodak Retina Reflex, a camera from a line of highly over-engineered, heavy, German made cameras. I'm using a couple rolls of expired Fujifilm Acros. Unfortunately though this camera seemed to be in perfect condition, under normal use I only got through 1.5 rolls before it died. It happens to the best of them, despite being fully mechanical, the extremely complicated design of this camera had multiple points of failure and sitting in a box for a few decades probably didn't help any.
