The yellow filters are for adding contrast when shooting black and white film.

Hey this was my first loading ever thanks to you. Congratulations from Bulgaria

Please show more videos from this camera, there aren't many if any

I've been sold one but without the initial spool - only the bottom take up spool. What can I do? Is there somewhere I can buy?

I recently got the K1. In loading the film into a cassette does it still take 100ft respooled?
or does it need to be a smaller measurement. Meaning is cutting the film shorter before respooling needed?

Hello, is there a way to adjust White balance in camera or just set Tungsten or daylight balanced film and use 320 or 5600 lights? Thanks

thanks for posting this, I have a K1 in the mail so this is a big help! I was wondering, some other uploads say that you don't need to load film in a dark room. But that sounds too good to be true, I was wondering if I could use Fomapan R100 Black and White Transparency Film (Super 16mm, 100' Reel) with the K1? Whenever I try to look anything up, I get stuff for the K3, the magazine makes me nervous....

Many thanks for the video. I have got two questions with regard to this camera. 1) I can’t see anything (all black) through the viewfinder. Do I need to set anything so that I can see things though it? 2) After winding up the camera, it doesn’t wind down so it doesn’t run (I have pushed the bottom beneath the lens). What’s the problem? I’m looking forward to your help! 🥺🥺

That would be awesome: an external 400ft mag (motor for take up spool?) and a crystal sync motor. Here is an idea: perhaps the front of the Krasnogorsk 3 with the M 42 screw mount fits (or can be made to fit) the K-1 and you can have Super 16mm (widened gate and re-centered M42 lens mount). Seen some K-3 bodies without lens on ebay which are very cheap and the re-centering ring is inexpensive as well. OR you could try to fit a more modern and versatile lens mount which I already saw being done successfully on a K-3. IMHO it's worth considering Super 16mm while you are at it, doing quite ambitious modifications. Guess the only thing really impossible is coming up with a top notch Super 16mm viewfinder. I never saw anyone coming up with one and it's probably way too difficult for such an inexpensive camera. Anyway: good luck with your modification project! Please keep us posted on your progress!

Hi Shaun,
Great video BTW. It was very helpful. My Krasnogorsk 1 16mm Camera just came in the mail. I am looking forward to testing it out. Question: Can the film camera ONLY take 30ft film? I purchased a cassette  spool that said it can hold both 30 & 100ft of film when shooting.

The rope on my camera is locked, I think it has to do with the serrated nut. It always happens to me the same thing. Do all Kranosgorsk-2 have that problem?

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you can use two daylight safe film spools in the cassette and load it in daylight?

Hi Shaun, thanks for the video. I've got a Krasnogorsk 2 and was wanting to shoot a few different projects on it. I was thinking that I might get a different film cassette for each project and then change between the two, depending on which project I wanted to shoot. Do you think this would work? Obviously I'd be committed to loosing the bit of film that was outside of the cassette, but otherwise would taking the cassette out give me anything else to worry about? Cheers, Jude.

Hi Shaun. I've recently got hold of a Krasnogorsk 2. It's working great, I've got some old film to experiment with before I buy something to actually film on. My main concern is with the loading of the film. Did you find an easier way to load the film onto the reel that doing it by hand? Also does this need to be done in total darkness or can it be done under a darkroom light? Thanks for any help you can give me. I don't want to wreck my first 16mm film before I start shooting!

how to set the shutter speed?

Hey Shaun,
Super helpful video!
I just bought a K1 but it didn't come with a feed spool and I want to load some Kodak Vision 3. Might be a stupid question but Is there a way of obtaining one without buying another cassette?

Thanks

thanks for this video. I was wondering how to load these cassettes. What length is the max for them? Can it take 100ft of 16mm film?
