A few camera reviews here, a few thought pieces there, and the little Casual Photophile YouTube channel is coming along nicely. Lately I’ve been scouring internet archives for old television commercials from our favorite camera and film brands, and I’ve compiled a small sampling of retro film and camera ads that really hit the nostalgia buttons.

Since it’s the weekend I thought it would be fun to share the ones we’ve made so far. Sit down with a morning bagel and enjoy!

Feel free to share these anywhere that photo geeks hang out (Reddit, Facebook, forums, etc.). It helps us out.

  • I was young 😉
    I have started during these times, or this epoch …
    I have only good memories.
    My first SLR (several years of summer jobs), a OM1n, my first Contax the 139q … my first slide films Kodachrome 25 and Velvia 50, … and now 2022, Putin invades Ukraine and kills Ukrainian with the blessings of other dictators from Asia …

  • James, in the UK Olympus ran a series of adverts for its Trip camera with photographer David Bailey, who was often at the butt end of the jokes. The one I recall is “David Bailey? Who’s he?
