I love this video. Im 54yrs, I grew up in Poland where all I could get was Zenit camera, I had to learn the manual shooting. It was easier for me since photography was my father's passion. When I was 19 I lived in Norway where I end up in a world of great cameras and also automatic. Today Im shooting digital and on film. I passed passion to photography on my son and he loves shooting all kinds of film and on all kinds of cameras. Film photography makes your imagination work, how do you want your picture look like etc and as you say it costs money so you have just one shot and you can't check it on the screen but wait until its developed. I shoot on many kinds of film and like 40 yrs old. To me film photography is a kind of art today. Thanks for the videos like yours makes analog photography live. Thank you for this video :)
I also grew up with film and have been doing photography as a hobby for about 30 years now. I completely agree that shooting film can make you take better images. Back in the film days, I thought about every shot I took even though it was only for my benefit. Then when I (sort of reluctantly) went over to digital in 2012 I found myself taking more images but of far worse quality, even to the point of me becoming disinterested in photography for a number of years. Recently I have gotten back into it and now I take pictures much like I did in the film era. I take my time to get the image right and find I take less digital photos than when I first started shooting digital, but they are WAY better. I use the Canon EF EOS system as that is what I started with back in the film days and now shoot with EOS DSLRs and a couple of old EOS film bodies. Being able to share lenses (apart from a few EF-S lenses that I use on 1 of my DLSRs) is also handy. I agree that the old manual film cameras are lovely but I'm a bit lazy to use them haha.
As a motorcyclist who "learned" on the street and never rode dirt, I can't emphasize enough how bone-headed, expensive, and deadly dangerous it is to not learn to ride dirt bikes first! Luckily, I learned to shoot photos with film. I don't suppose I'll give up the advantages of digital media, but in some regards I'm sorry they even exist.
I couldn't have said it better myself. There are so many incompetent motorcyclists out there. No need to give up digital to have some fun with film given you can get a good camera with lens for next to nothing. I have purchased Canon T50s with the 50mm FD 1.8 for as little as $30. But you have to be a bit careful and know how to buy them.

You are very welcome and thank you for your comments.
Really enjoying your videos. Best wishes from the UK.
Thanks. I do this in spurts. I will have a few more in the near future. FYI, my daughter lives in Manchester with her husband.
The results on 8 x 10 blow me away. Film is still worth it.
I think Ansel Adams would agree with you.

That is cool that you have a hybrid digital film system. Enjoy!
