Hi, I just purchased the light meter. I don't understand well, when I change either shutter speed or aperture priority I believe that the exposure meter should calculate either one or the other, but this doesn't happen.

Thanks so much , now I know that HP5 is my choice . I do not like how strong is contrast in 400 TX - which I ordered just before I started to watch your video ! Quick question, what would you say would be most suitable for portraits - i will use small soft boxes as I want to do head shots mainly - school type photos.

Unfortunately I have learned first hand it will not break the concrete

Such a great comparison! Thank you! The Tri-X remains my favourite.

The MB-21 grip (needs 6 batteries) makes it an F4s they were sold mainly in the US. The MB-20(needs 4 batteries) came on bodies outside the US. Though, there is no structural difference between the f4/S/E or no distinctive badging. This also is the reason, regardless of the model, they're all called the F4.

Thanks. My favourite camera. You can use new "G" lenses without aperture rings if you select S or P modes. You can also rewind manually by moving the R1 lever and then using the crank. Helpful if you want to leave the leader out.

very intertesting. thank you

Hi, I just got my camera today for £20. Looking in the manual it does say somethng about the orange dot. I am not so tefamiliar with the terms. Would you explai what it means llease? There are two types of lenses: number one, this is the type of lens I have: X-Fujinon DM Lenses {Lenses with an Orange FUJICA AX-3 Mark on the Aperture Scale) These are capable of full aperture metering and programmed, shutter-preferred, and aperture-preferred automatic exposure. However, your Fujica AX-3 is provided for full aperture metering and aperture-preferred automatic exposure only "Do NOt set the aperture ring to the orange mark" please explain. thank you maybe a detailed video for beginers

great video I'm going to buy this now, had serious doubts. Fun watch tx

Nice Video! Which one has the finest Grain?

Great video!!! I really like it, but were you exposed to the shadows or how did you metered the light with this light meter? All the best

Dude, thank you so much for this! I've been getting into film photography, and my friend gave me this model. Since I had only previously used a Canon Rebel GII, I was completely lost😅 Because of your video I am now using AND understanding my camera and getting some great footage! Thanks again so much!!!

Really loved the idea and execution behind this video. I've always wondered how well it simulates the filmstock. Where was that desert camp location? I'd love to camp somewhere similar!

How did you manage moving there? Like did you have work lined up??

Cool film demo. ... Too cool for a bone dome shield? Obit: "He only paid $2 for film, but couldn't spend anymore for his cranium."

The AE-1 Program was my first camera. I still have it, as well as his older sister the AE-1 and about a dozen other 35mm slrs and rangefinders. It is still my go to grab and go camera.

Like... I'd like to try it, but I really don't think you would send me this film to czech republic xDDD Overall I really like experimenting with film, even though the results can be disappointing, that's why I have a few expired stuff in my fridge :D

What film did you use ? Thank you

Where can one buy this kind of film roll? Is there a link I missed?

Is this china?

I only recently got into film photography. I swore by digital growing up, I had tons of digital cameras. Various chargers, cables, cases, just laying everywhere. Well, I'm not entirely sure why, but over the last few months, I just felt this pull to ditch digital, and go full analog. I picked up a Pentax K1000 for 100 bucks with multiple lenses and filters, plus case, and I can't put the thing down. I'm shooting anything I can get my hands on. Black and white, color, expired, fresh, Kodak, Fuji, nameless, I just want to buy up anything I can! I even ended up buying this bulk shipment of "metal can" 35mm film on Ali Express. Should be arriving in the next month or so. It's hard to explain, but your video, the beginning, even though it's meant to be a joke, is exactly how I feel when I receive a new order of prints, and film. I'm really glad I stumbled onto your channel. Subscribed, liked, and I hope to keep watching you and your catalogue grow. Great shots. I love that the film wasn't "perfect." That's the look that I adore when I get my prints back.

I've always hated the extreme bokeh thats so common in modern photography, it's always felt so artificial to me, but not on this film.

Fantastic video! This will blow up, mark my words

Yo, good video! I'm itching to try shooting or recording something on actual film and it was nice to see a literal example of how the film itself impacts an image. I do have some assorted feedback: 1. I'd love to see more medium shots of you speaking to keep interest up. The close up of your arms/hands holding the film could definitely use a break and I think in general shots of people talking is interesting if not overused and interspersed throughout. GXAce is a pretty good example of this on a pacing level 2. I'd also love for you to go more into detail on some of your opinions. You mention liking or disliking the sky in some shots, I think you're mostly basing your opinion on the technical color reproduction but still, it'd be nice to know for sure and overall just expressing your opinion with some fancy/flashy words. ActionButton video game reviews is my go to for fancy word usages 3. I like the drawn lines pointing out and illustrating your points, but them being wiggly was distracting 4. This one is last but maybe the most important, the bass in the last quarter of the video was so intense I had to turn the youtube volume down by half. I don't know of a way to avoid that happening in the future, just letting you know Overall this was super sick, you got some great shots in here. I'm subbing and looking forward to seeing more!

Was there anything printed around the frame counters on the edges of the film? It looks like expired film, wondering if it's old Kodak stock. Also, what did you use to scan it? Some of those photos might look like that because the scanner had no idea how to set the white balance maybe?

Analogue transparencies is pure... if there are not well balanced aperture and speed you miss the shot. In digital the processor compensates lights and shadows... so the picture is not pure real... Kind regards, Eduardo T. Devereux.

The video was qutie clear and informative! I recently purchased this camera and I am running in to an issue with the shutter speed meter that you see in the view finder (the red LED lights). The camera always shows a blinking light at either 1000 or 2s, indicating that the image will be over or underexposed. I play around with the exposure dial and the shutter speed, but the LED light does not move. Could I be doing something wrong, or is this may an indicator of a damaged light meter? Thanks for any ideas you may have!

I got the Electro 35 GSN as my first rangefinder, currently halfway through my 1st roll and I'm so excited to see the results! Yours came out great, really love them.

Just bought one as my first ever film camera from japan i have very good knowledge of how to use digital cameras and so i wanted a fully manual with high control on the shooting camera that is on the more affordable side and the f4 looked to me as the best choice i can make.

Glad you get to see a different viewpoint of what China is like. It's a complicated country for sure but filled with friendly people, great food, and interesting culture.

00:22 :(

I know that each film has special something, but most of the differences shown here are to be mitigated, either by different developers / developing techniques, or even better, in the post processing. WET post processing. BTW, all those cameras used are OLD, and different, made by different camera makers, so there's a possibility that some exposure times on some of those cameras are not accurate. Not all the time. Just saying... In regards to films, I'm a bit biased. I've never used Tri-X, ever. When I've started in photography, and later professionally while using film, Tri-X wasn't available in my country. Unlike Ilford's HP5. And later when Kentmere showed up I didn't care anymore. Course for me, HP5 was always a king...

bro your faux humility isnt fooling anyone, its pretty obvious your full of yourself

1) setting the right white balance on the digital camera to match the WB of the film is quite important for comparison between those two - there's no auto WB setting for film. In this case that should be about 5300K if I'm not mistaken... Deespite that, (slide) film can still turn out quite weird... 2) Getting the right exposure on slide film is crucial. Period. Or make bracketing just to be safe. Film is expensive for bracketing? This is a comparison, I don't care. Or use external light meter for both, with calculation for difference in ISO of course. 3) (14:05) those lenses and formats are totally different, so... Nevertheless, like for the dog 🐶

9:38 i totally disagree. The film is Miles ahead

i love your video!! really what i want to see!❤❤

Velvia is a daylight film so it has 5500K white balance (this is not quite correct but anyway) which explains why it looks warmer on the first image. It will warm up everything on a cloudy day.

Hi Kevi, Cool video, a question? Did you set up a custom white balance to digital to 5600K? as films were calibrated for that colour temperature. If you didn't that would give you more accurate results in comparison like this.

I shot Fujifilm almost daily throughout the '90s. One of my clients had an account at a different lab than the one I usually went to. After years of experience, I knew how to set my exposure for Fuji’s slide films. Until I went to the other lab and it didn’t expose or look the same. The ISO was more accurate to the box speed, and the contrast was lower. Turns out my main lab used Kodak chemistry and the other lab used Fujifilm chemistry. It makes a big difference. What brand of chemistry was the film processed in? Were all the digital images shot at a pre-set daylight white balance to mach the locked-in WB of the film? Fascinating comparison. Hope you do more.

Really cool comparison. I personally prefer the way saturation was handled with the film on highly saturated subjects like the red flower.

Film v digital comparisons are utterly useless without giving further details of the development, scanning, and editing process involved. There is no 'Velvia' look - you could give the same developed roll to two different scanners/editors and they would give you different results.

Thanks for this! The velvia simulation is too saturated IMO. Not one of their better simulations. Astia, Nostalgic Negative and Kodachrome are much better simulations for getting that retro film look IMO, though a lot of the differences (particularly around sunsets and sunflares) I think had to do with other factors like the lenses you were using. Also the shade you throw at LA... lol true

Was surprised the film looked better in almost every image. The film simulation nails the magenta blues that Velvia gives you but the greens are too saturated and I much prefer the draker and warmer/yellower greens on the film.

Did you messing with the settings white balance shadow highlights in camera to match the film

Contrast and sharpness also depends on the lens so if you want to be objective you have to compare images taken with the same lens.

Hey, what lens do you have? I’m thinking of buying the a used AE-1 but it doesn’t come with the lens

The K400 seems to be nice for portrait. Hp5 is my actual favorite. Nice for architecture

Great stuff as always. Cool seeing all the artwork, but I think my favorite shots here are the industrial ones, especially 7:18. It looks like you found yourself a good lab!

nice overview, i own 3 of these cameras and they are great but im taking them nowhere near water!

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
