Nothing wrong with rebrands when they give us something that wasn't ordinarily sold for photo use, quite the opposite. I only shot one roll of 400S so far but I loved it, will definitely be coming back for more of these aerial Agfa films.
This is why I love FPP. If it can capture an image, they'll cram into a film cartridge just to say they did.
Just shot a roll of Retro 80S, and gotta say I absolutely love it. With the right optics and chemistry, you can really get past that crushing contrast and get amazing tonality and shadow detail.
Honestly, the only reason I ever bought Retro 80S was because it was the cheapest 120 film I could find to test my Yashica Mat LM. I do like punchy contrast B&W films, and if weren't because I love Ilford PanF, this could be one of my go-to low sensitivity B&W films.
I really like Rollei film stock. I think that if a rebrand can mantain all these variety of film stock alive there is nothing wrong with it. Is only a commercial choice to use the name Rollei but is not like those products who slap a famous brand on the box to sell overpriced garbage. They are really good, and honestly they comes at a fair price (at least in Italy). I've never heard of Rollei Crossbird, I have to check it out!
I think it’s perfectly okay for companies to take harder to buy and more obscure films like technical films, cut them down and roll them up for consumers, and resell them under their brand name, since that is a service that a lot of consumers probably don’t want to do themselves, or maybe even aren’t always able to. That being said, they certainly should be super forthcoming that that is what they are doing, emphasize it on the box or on the website so that the consumer knows exactly what they’re buying
I very much like contrasty b&w films and I have been very happy with the results I got from Rollei 400s. It may very well be a rebrand, but for me the fact is I get a film I'm satisfied with with like 2/3 price of Ilford and kodak b&w films. Competition is usually good for the consumers :)
I learn more from your videos than from analog lessons at school. Thank you!
Great video as always dude! I think this film is right up my alley because I really love the contrasty look and I love shooting in midday which the 80 ISO would be helpful for
Cool video as always! I'm very interested in watching your future video on rebranded films!
I am also really interested in rebrands. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the review! :)
Looking forward to the film manufacturers and rebranding video!
I love your intro. Gives me those 80s vibes
Can't wait to see rebranding video! Good luck in doing research :)))
Nice review like always 🙏🙏
We need more new color film stocks. Not overpriced Kodak Vision 3 adapted to C41 processors but a real new color emulsions like it used to be some thousands days ago
I'm interested in the dynamics of B&W infrared film. It seems to be overshadowed by Aerochrome but I don't see that many people shooting it. All I know is that you need a special filter for it or else it'll just look like regular B&W film
I love the kind of contrast B&W photos showed in Life magazine in the 60s and 70s. Putting aside that this was also a result of directional light to emphasise surface textures and darkroom techniques, I am interested in films that are suitable strong contrast but at a good quality. Keep up the good work! 🤗
I really like Rollei Retro 80S for street photography type stuff. The excellent detail and sharpness is a great fit for city scenes/architecture and that sort of thing. It reminds me a little bit of Ferrania P30, but you can of course get it in medium format, which is great!
