I love Hans's approach and work! His perfect compositions and attention to detail are exactly what I aspire to in my creative work. Watching him at work is the best example I have seen in a while of why film photography is different, I'm a big fan of your work as well. Composition, angles, and exposure matter more than we sometimes are willing to acknowledge in this spray and pray digital world. Shoot every shot as if it were the last frame on your last roll. Andy
Also, I loved seeing him use an older meter as instead of carrying my huge $500 sekonic that is spot and incident I purchased a gossen pilot the size of a couple small match boxes that fits in my pocket and it is dead on with the sekonic. Was he using his meter in the window opening as spot or incident?
After setting ISO for HP5 from box speed of 400 down 2/3 stop to 250, is he simply metering on an area equivalent of the gray card in tonality ie 18% gray and using that exposure? So an incident meter reading in the same light would do the same? Also, how large a print do you find acceptable from a 35mm HP5 negative. Or Portra 400? This and the 2 Zone system videos are the only ones I have found that explain WHY you over expose from box speed and how to determine precisely what ISO to use. Great job.
I am thinking seriously trying to find a mint Nikon F2 Titan. I am slowly but surely abandoning digital it seems. A good Titan plus CLA or two would last me a lifetime.
I am about to buy another F2. I want the old 55m f1.2 the non ai version to go with it. Then I am going to send them off to Shueido camera to be painted in a Leica Safari color scheme.

Love my all mechanical hand made Japanese quality 47 year old mint condition Nikon F2. Great video . Best wishes from Ireland
Be my guest! F2 is legend and woo to anyone opposing this ....
I love this video;
I love that he took his tools to the job, selected each focal length thoughtfully and the images were great.
I like the way the cookie crumbles😂
I do like the way he puts his films in never seen that top tip I’ve learnt something
Still getting down and dirty on the ground, still shooting! Awesome. Nice photography, thanks for showing this.
Oh, and that 200mm f/4 is SUBLIME
Great video. I must load my films the same way, looks really efficient and fast.
Loved the shots of the VW van. Especially the one with the cyclist in the background... I really liked that composition! xD
wow wat een mooie interesante lokatie...een beetje jaloers 😄 helpt ok dat Hans is shooting Nikons
18:19 why I was waving to my camera? Well the eyepiece was fogging up because of my breath... it was cold...

Do as you please... that 55mm is one of my favourites 😍. It is an absolute blast! You have to get to know it though... it is no piece of cake!
27:00 too bad it's empty.... Henk you kill me!
MOPED, *lol*
Bromfietsen!
