I have no anxiety about film prices. I only shoot black and white and the stocks I've used for years have only seen a very slight increase in price. I always develop my own film, in home-made chemicals, I scan my own film, so it's still as cheap as analog photography can be.
I recently tried the very cheap Fomapan 100 and it is fine!
@@thepirateshoots it used to be incredibly cheap if you lived in Central Europe cause you could order directly from the factory shop, but that luxury is long gone. Good film though, and still affordable!
@@KNURKonesur 45~50€ for 30.5m for foma 200 in Germany atleast. makes it around 2€ per roll of 36 expoures if you are good with the scissors
I've standardized on pro packs of Portra 400 in 35mm and 120. Have messed around with lots of films in the past but whenever I see a photo where I love the color, it's almost always Portra. It's why I started shooting film again after messing around with digital for several years. Portra 400 + Mamiya 7 = heaven. A Contax t2 with 35mm Portra is a close second. Shoot and get it developed and scanned at my local lab and done. No need to mess around in Lightroom for hours trying to get the "film look". If you count your time, it's not that expensive.
As an old film photojournalist. I used 100 and 125 speed film for the most of my work. I never had a problem getting the shots I needed. Even in other than ideal daylight conditions. 100 speed back in the 90s and earlier was a standard. I also used 400 for lowlight and action. I think people today compare film speed’s with digital iso, and what their digital camera can do. I prefer film and use it with its film speed in mind.
Glad I found your channel! I really enjoy your work and your delivery ! U have become one my favorites along with vuhlandes, Mike, gray, Tyler shields MD D'Arcy benecosa
Thank you so much that is very kind!
A timely video. I’ve been needing some film inspiration lately 🎞️🌸✨
I got my rolls of Santa Color in January, cant wait to be able to shoot my rolls.
I enjoyed working with Santa Color 100 but found it was a bit overcooked at 100, and it works well at 200 and even 400 and developed normally. Scala 50 is an amazing film, I’ve developed it both as a negative and as a positive. If you can’t find it as Scala 50, look for HR-50, same stock. As for film stocks in my fridge, it’s mostly b&w, colour I leave to my D750 mostly. Lots of Ilford, Adox and Foma here!
It's always good to stay in touch with the film side of photography even when going deep down the digicam rabbit hole. For me it's CineStill 400D and 50D as well (in a few months time when there should be enough sunlight for it). But, I'll also have some standard B&W stuff to use - like Fomepan and Kentmere.
I am having the most fun shooting up seventeen rolls of Kodak Ektachrome E100VS I bought in 2006. It has been frozen most of that time, but still has a purplish cast that gave some recent woodland shots such a haunted character that I made no attempt to color correct it. We found one of those rolls in a point and shoot, so it had not been frozen and it took maximum Dehaze in Lightroom to see anything at all so they became maximally grainy B&W's. There were mostly just magenta pixels left, a few blues, no greens.
Yes! I was saying to Molly this week how good Santacolor renders sunny beach locations. The novelty name almost doesn't do it justice. Can't wait to get my hands on some. Everything except for Ilford film has been sold out here for months.
My goodness Lucy, all this photos are straight Bangers.
Thank you Alex!!! So kind of you 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻
@@LucyLumen your welcome Lucy. I'm excited to see other amazing things from you on the channel
So cool that you posted this, today i shot my first roll of Portra 160 ... yet to scan to scan it, but I also shot a roll of Lomo Metropolis and am pretty excited by the results as I am scanning while watching!!I Love your channel and feel that film will always be here and have no issues with digital ... not a purist on any level ... whatever works!!!
I love Santa Color 100. It is my favorite color stock.
I know right! It’s the best!!
I've got some Gold 200 and not wanting to use it, I have gone off the yellow tint it gives. I have portra 160, 400 and my favourite 800. I ue portra 800 in one camera only, Ricoh Mirai, and its suits the lens and bokeh at longer focal lengths. I have Ilford XP2, HP5 and Delta 400. I have shot half frame for over 30 years with a Samurai X3.0 and a brace of Olympus Pen viewfinder cameras EE2 and D. Most of all any film does well with Zuiko Lenses.
Nice video. Your photography is enjoyable and unique! Fomapan 200 and Fuji C200 are my go-to film stocks. I think I want to stick with these mostly so I can learn their strengths. I do like trying something new every now and then so thank you for brining the products in this video to my attention!
I've got a fair bit stuffed away in the fridge. I'll have to check it out and catalogue it so I know what's in there! Last film I bought was Gold200 in 120 format...box of 5 rolls. I've also got quite a bit of film I've yet to process, as well. I tend to shop around when looking for new film, but I do have a few fave places, like Walkens, to buy from. Although, most places are having trouble getting new stock. That's where alternative film processes are good, like wet and dry plate photography. It's all DIY and you can get your hands dirty in the nitty gritty of the old ways of doing things. Give you another avenue of creating good pics.
Good timing with this vid; just yesterday I took stock of my film stock to see what I need to replenish for upcoming trips to Portugal and Japan (answer: Tri-X and CS 800T in both 35 and 120). Our aesthetics are rather different-I’m more of a BW and muted colors guy, but glad to see CS 400D on your list. You’re right; it’s a good all-rounder. I like the not-so-punchy colors but with that touch of oddball halation. But it is expensive. I do have a bunch of Portra 400 and 160 in my fridge bought years ago when more affordable and plan to take a couple rolls to Portugal in May. The other color films coming along are Lomo Metropolis (the opposite of Santa Color 100!) because its desaturated colors and edgy contrast are great for a certain kind of gritty urban look or simply as something different; and a few rolls of Ektar 100 for medium format pinhole photography-pinholes are the only thing I use super-saturated color film for. As for BW, which I shoot more of, it’s Kodak Tri-X, Double-X, and Fuji Acros 100.
I like to try new film stock, but imo the photographer is always the key component.

I very seldom take pictures with color film, I mostly use b&w when using a 35mm or medium format camera. I use color film when color is the main reason to take that picture, so I want a film which has very strong and punchy colors. To me, that is Kodak Ektar.
For b&w I don't care to much about the characteristic of the film, to me the motif I took a picture of is much more important. So I only use two different b&w films, one for "normal" situations - where I usually buy the cheapest film I can get, which is Fomapan in these days - and the second for high contrast pictures, which is ADOX CMS 20 right now.
Santacolour seems great for beach picture, with loads of blue (holidays in Australia, or Thailand, Philippines)
Looking to add cinestill and Santa colour to my fridge shelf soon 😊 and of course a butt tonne of gold 😝
Happy to see you hit on two of my absolute favorite stocks I've been using for about a year or so now (well, one of them, the other ones newer!) I've been interested in Santacolor 100 for a little bit, so definitely with your endorsement, I'm sold on picking up a couple of rolls. I might snag a roll of Adox Mission as well just on your say so! Give it a try for myself!
So, I haven't put either of those through any of my cameras yet, but...Portra 160 and Cinestill 400D? That's a whole 'nother story! Portra 160 has been around longer so I've shot boatloads of it at this point, and only a couple of Cinestill 400D, but you and Matt Murray sold me on 400D on the Analog Hour, and talking about pushing it really made me want to try that for concert photography, just haven't had the chance yet!
Some of my favorite shots I've taken this year, or maybe EVER have been on Portra 160. I'd take it over Portra 400 EVERY. DAY. Gorgeous stock! I kinda' of don't understand (and maybe this is just me but...) how Portra 400 became like the 'gold standard' and one of the stocks that I ALWAYS see new shooters picking up at my local camera store. It's a great stock, no doubt, but its PERVASIVE popularity eludes me a bit.
It's feast or famine in these parts on 160 these days, and even though there's a higher (but fair) price hike at these small camera/film shops, I really like to try and support the one in my area, since I think they're treasures in our communities and that we have at least some responsibility as film photographers to help support and keep alive if we want to see film continue to survive and thrive, so I order online only when I really have too, or they don't carry the stock I'm looking for.
All in all, awesome video as per usual! I always love seeing your name pop up under my youtube bell, or when your work shows up on my IG feed! Love it! And you sold me on trying two new color stocks, so I'd say you're doing more than your bit to keep film photography alive and kickin'! Thanks, Lucy!
Sorry, I leave such long comments! I get going on my film passion and it's hard for me to stop talking!!
Oooh Im hanging on to a ten pack of Santa Color for summertime (winter here in NY) and now I’m more excited! Other than that, I pick up a pack of Fuji Xtra 400 at the drugstore every time i stop in because they’re still selling it for $9 (US) a roll… there’s a LOT of xtra 400 in the back of our fridge now!!! Not my favorite film but it’s fine for being half the price of Portra 400! But, ultimately, most of my shooting daily is on Kentmere 400 because its still $5/roll and I can develop and scan it at home for next to nothing. Color film is now more of a special thing.
Excellent choices !!! May I add a few more ? I would love to see a review on the Washi X ( preferably developed as slide film ), Atlanta Film Co.‘s „Euphoric“ ( must be a super interesting film ), Santa Colors cheap alternative „Luminar 100“ or the new „Candido“ from the UK. Also notable, ReflxLab‘s very affordable reversal film, made from fresh 5294 motion picture film (Ektachrome 100D). Saturated colors plus natural skin tones, almost like the classic Kodachrome.
So, a lot of good stuff out there and reviews from a talented photographer like you are always appreciated. 🖖🏻😘
Amazing suggestions here thank you! I think molly from eclectachrome has shot washi x on her channel??
There are many ittarations of Santa color which I didn’t know luminar was a cheaper option though!
I have some of the newer wolfen film to try as well! Thanks for watching lovely x
More obsessed with your bass.
In my stash are many packs of Pro400H 120 (I guess 60 rolls?) and Pro160NS. I don't have Santacolor but I do have a few rolls of Silberra colour in 120, which is also Kodak Aerocolor. Despite having a lot of colour negative material, I will try to shoot more Velvia 50 or Provia.
I don't shoot 135 that much, but I have some Adox Color Mission which I want to shoot more of.
Lucy: "We have sun most of the year."
Me, having just shoveled for the third time in 24 hours:
So good Lucy! I needed this! Going to take out my Cinestill 400D today! 😊 📸 🎞️
I used to love putting portra in my little canon powershot point and shoot, my purse camera that goes with everywhere. Sadly with the price of film nowadays it doesn't make sense for me to do that anymore :( I rarely shoot color anymore and I hardly use that camera because I dont like how bw looks in it. I'm very sad. Ive got two digicams that Ive slowly been getting used to and im trying to use those as my purse camera instead of the point and shoot BUT ITS JUST NOT THE SAME
I’ll never shoot film again since the early 2000s except for a occasional Polaroid. But I do enjoy watching others enjoy this kind of photography. I hope the high prices doesn’t ruin this revival of film for the young generation
I frequently search the internet for cheap prices of good film. I have made several purchases of Portra 400 at less than $14/roll (USD) before the price increase. I also enjoy SantaColor and Cinestill 400D shooting several rolls recently in Las Vegas. Still have plenty of Santa, but only 2 left of 400D. I also shoot a lot of Fuji X-tra 400 very cheap and like the look. For BW I have Delta 400 and Fuji Acros 100. Again I have found film prices vary greatly among camera stores, so when I find something I’ll buy a pack of 5 rolls.
My film prepper stash is full of Acros because Fuji was discontinuing it... until Fuji brought it back. The worst part is I slightly prefer the new version (which seems to be Ilford making it using Fuji's formula). But also lots of Portra. I actually love Portra 160 for landscapes so I even have it in 4x5. Mostly B&W though.
Hey Lucy, I like this unique combination of photography, fashion and overall aesthetics in your channel a lot!
Would you tell me, what soundtrack is playing in this video?
Thank you!
Christian
Hello 👋🏻 thank you 😊 I’m so glad you like what I’m sharing. I love fashion as much as I love photography! All the music in my videos is original and made by my partner! If you search Lux Lumen Music on RUclips you will find his channel where he has some tracks up! Hope you enjoy 😊
@@LucyLumen Great, thank you, I will definitely check him out!
I'm viewing your colour film Santacolor100 photographs on my basic Lenovo- laptop screen that has really awful colour rendition, the colour on a lot of these laptop screens as you probably know are just dam awful , your Santacolor100 film just looks amazing on this laptop screen , it's the best colour images I've seen on this screen in fact !, I can imagine how amazing these colours would look on my main photography photoshop monitor , sadly my photoshop computer is not hooked up to the internet at the moment , I'll look forward to viewing this film soon as the computer is hooked up , the point is that there's got to be a certain magic in the Santacolor100 , I'm not sure if I can purchase this film in England ? , I'll enquire for sure , I love to put a roll of Santacolor100 through my Nikon F4 .
Fantastic programs by the way , really informative & fully comprehensive , your photography programs are a major contribution to the future generations of film users , thank you for sharing all this amazing information .
Hello Julian! Thank you so much for this kind comment and for watching my channel. I do know how awful those screens are as I have a very cheap HP laptop that I use just for basic things like word when I write articles.
I hope you can view the pictures on your better screen soon - if you want to see them just as still images in more of a portfolio style check out the gallery on my print shop too!
Thanks again and I hope you can find some in the UK 🇬🇧 I think more is being rolled out very soon maybe try analogue wonderland in the UK!
Did you pushed both rolls Portra 160? Love the results.
Can’t wait for the Olympus Pen FT video! Do you know you could adapt normal OM lens on it? Since you praise the Zuiko lenses so much. Would love to see it on your future videos!
I stocked up on a lot of b&w Ilford HP5, kentmere 100 & 400. Also, looking forward to testing out a few rolls of Fuji 200 (aka basically Kodak gold 200).. I do love cinestill but am thinking more and more about buying 400’ of vision3 and bulk loading it…. But that’s work… so I’ll probably suck up the cinestill prices and convenience of processing instead.
I do love portra 160/400 but the bump in costs has me only using that occasionally for special occasions.
You probably know this, but if you purchase Kodak Vision3 and bulk load it you will still need to remove the remjet yourself, or take it to a lab that knows how to do that. I'm not actually aware of any labs outside of Taiwan that can develop cinema film, but perhaps there are some that can and do handle it.
okay!
My go-to film was Kodak Gold, it just always works for me. Its simple, the colours are consistend and the price was pretty decent. I know that almost all Kodak films are getting to expensive for me so I would love a alternative, a good allround 200 or 400 speed film. I used to shoot colour more than black and white but this will be changing because of the prices, but I still want at least 1 roll colour for every 2 rolls of black and white. Anyone got a recomandation?
it's depressing bc here in switzerland Porta are the cheapest and all the slide films are really expensive (but i love them more)
Maybe I should try some Santacolor! I mostly shoot black and white Foma, but I haven't shot a lot of film lately
Definitely give it a go - it’s a really great color film 🎞️
Could you please link the film stocks in your description?
Uhh, as a former film photographer from 1983-2003 I don't understand film shooters who have a lab process their film, then scan it and adjust the image in post. Just shoot digital. I mean, film is meant to be printed not scanned. I shoot B&W film from time to time but process and print, if I wanted a digital image I'd shoot digital.
me watching this with my santacolor sitting in my fridge still waiting to be shot 👁👄👁
I hope someone Apes Kodak Ektar 100 and undercuts Kodak's crazy prices lol. til then, ill just hold off using the little Ektar i have.
Where do you get that adox film?? I love the sample photos you included
Check out their website, it says they are currently out of stock online but have some in a store in Germany. Hopefully they release some more soon it's really amazing stuff.
@Lucy Lumen's Analog Adventures ah sweet! Thanks for the help!
Where do you develop the film? Do it yourself?
Time is more expensive for me' than film. I will shoot whatever I can get, when, I can get out and shoot it.
Santacolor is Kodak Aerocolor. Could become quite difficult to find because if I'm correct this stock is made in Russia.
I understand the stock is made in USA and spooled in Finland.
It will be a win if I get to shoot 4x rolls of Tri-x this year. :)
Haha yes I know it’s hard to justify - I shot tri-x recently and really loved it actually. Sad it’s not cheaper!
In the US, Cinestill about $10 a roll. Ports under $16 a roll.
un switzerland 19chf so over 20$. Portra is 18chf so over 19$
Where do you get Cinestill for $10 in the US, please? It's $15 everywhere I know of.
@@weisserth Amazon, buy the 5 pack at $50 then it cost $10 a roll.
Wait...store it in the freezer?
Yes! Some people freeze film to keep it fresh - if you have lots and lots it’s a good way to preserve it and keep it fresh!
Yes you can freeze Film before it expires, so you can extend the remaining lifetime by approximately 10 times.
RIP Kodak
Santa Color says they've stopped production as the materials were from Russia, and Adox color Mission had their supplier go bankrupt and they're having to start over. Hard to find these films you're recommending.
Hello 👋🏻 I just checked the Santa color IG page and they have a story post with a link to order the film??
I didn’t know this about adox though thank you for letting me know - has that been announced publicly?
It says on the Adox website they are preparing a new batch so it’s still happening just being restocked because it sold out.
@@LucyLumen not sure, Adox is in the R&D stage they say, so good news is they won't rely on a supplier, they will make their own materials, but it may be some time before we see it available again...
Hi! I'm head of the SantaColor production and sales. There has been a misunderstanding here - our black and white films has material made in Russia and we discontinued those. SantaColor material is made in the US and we have actually just started spooling more - it will be available with all our retailers very soon! ❤
@@arildedvardbasmo490 hello! can you point us to direction where we can order your color film stock? I am based in Europe. Thanks in advance!
Yes lots of expired film 😪
