Here, they check, repair and restore camera equipment of all sorts to recycle them back into the market and this way save thousands of cameras from ending up in the trash. This was a true film photography playground where I got to see some exotic, rare and funky cameras I've never seen before. I had a blast to learn about the entire path a camera goes through when ending up at KameraStore. And more than that: I was on a mission to find a camera from the store that I could bring with me on a roadtrip through Finland later that week. Special thanks to Tuomas (https://www.instagram.com/napparitm/ ) for being a welcoming host during this trip! And thank you to Nico (https://www.instagram.com/nicolasllasera/ ) for giving me this super insightful tour. _______________________________________ TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - intro 2:27 - inbound 6:19 - checking department 8:58 - waiting for the final offer 10:30 - repair cue 13:28 - repair department 15:33 - spare parts 17:48 - donor bodies 19:38 - listing 20:45 - inventory bins + Tampere kiosk 22:13 - tretsture hunt for exotic cameras 25:50 - loaning a camera for my road trip 26:44 - employees talk about the most interesting cameras they've seen 29:08 - getting my cameras checked (Hasselblad XPAN and Yashica T4) 34:40 - film vending machine 35:40 - outro + outlook on the roadtrip _______________________________________ Follow Me: 🎬 - YT: @KarinMajoka 🌄 - IG: https://www.instagram.com/karinmajoka/ 🕸 - WEB: www.karinmajoka.com ⚙️ - MY GEAR: https://kit.co/KarinMajoka ☕️ - BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/karinmajoka ☘️ - PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/karinmajoka _______________________________________ Color grading was made by using Dehancer.
