Thanks for the review of this new film. Looking forward to using it. One word of information about the term "professional" on some films. It has nothing to do with quality. Film ripens with age just as bananas do. "Normal" film leaves the factory "green" - not quite at optimum color level, with the intention that it will ripen slowly as it sits on a store shelf for x number of days or weeks. You'll notice that non-professional film is stored at room temperatures (as on a store shelf). Colors may vary slightly from roll to roll, depending on the age of the individual rolls. "Professional" films, on the other hand, leave the factory perfectly ripe, ready for immediate use. There should never be a discrimination of colors between rolls of professional film. If you ever purchase "professional" film from a camera store, you'll notice that it is always refrigerated, rather than sitting on a shelf at room temperature. Since this film is ripe from the factory, it needs to remain refrigerated until time of use or purchase. And once in a camera, it needs to be used up far quicker than non-professional films.
Nice to look you with Zigarre!! Now i by a Fuj 690 ! Sad that you are so far away I would like to go take some photos with you Greetings from Germany Frank
Thanks man for the awesome video! I got my two packs of Gold 200. Will be shooting this weekend. Yeah I hear a lot of people saying that Gold 200 in 120 isn’t professional. What we have to remember is that medium format is professional as it is a larger size neg. Loving the pics. The color and tones are insane. I think the price is the attractive thing to me. I still like Ektar 100 for landscapes and Portra 100 and 400 for portraits.
I sure wish we could put someone who complains that Gold is not "professional" and make them talk until they come up with a working definition of "professional;". If you want to be rigorous, Portra is designed to be shot in studio settings with controlled lighting, exhibiting low saturation and low contrast. By that standard, anyone who shoots Portra for general usage, outdoors, landscapes, etc,, is being grossly unprofessional. Gold's characteristics place in right in the middle between Portra on one end and Ektar at the other end. I used to use Gold 100 in 35mm and 120 formats as my standard. As far as I can tell, Gold 200 is basically the same film with a bit more speed juiced out of it.
Hello. I shot at that location quite a lot as well. I recently purchased a Fuji GW690ii. Where you you get your film processed? And also, how do you have your negatives scanned - lab, by yourself? ( if if by yourself - how? ) Hope to see you out there some day
Robbie, please give a review of the Fuji camera you used for this video. I’m on the look out in the market for my first medium format. Thank you!! Always waiting for your new videos!!
Ive been in the process of making one. The reviews always take a while because those videos seem to stick around for a while and my opinion changes over time.
I shot a few rolls of this. I think its great for landscapes, but not for portraiture. It seems to make skin tones look horrible Could just be me, just my experience with it. Great work as always Robbie!
I was able to get one portrait on it - you can see it on my website homepage (robbiemaynardcreates.squarespace.com). I kind of agree, they leaned a little too much toward the yellows and I avoid changing colors when it comes to skin tones. It quickly turns bad lol
Nice review, it looks to me that the larger format improves overall performance of this film (compared to 35mm version), which I guess is to be expected. Frankly, I didn't think much of this film in the 35mm format so I didn't plan to try it in 120. But I like the colors and rendering of your excellent seaside shots. A bit soft, but not nearly as soft and grainy as what I remember with the 35mm version. You did push this film 1 stop, right? So maybe I'll try some. Thanks!
Thanks! I over-exposed a few shots and I noted it on the image that I did. I did push another roll that I really liked better. One of the images is on the homepage of my website.
Slowly making my way through your back catalogue of videos. 😊 Great stuff.
I appreciate that!
I just bought this camera. Hasn't arrive yet but excited to try it

Now i by a Fuj 690 !
Sad that you are so far away I would like to go take some photos with you

Beautiful images, turned out to be a perfect day to shoot Gold.
I agree! Thanks Kate :)
Now that’s the stuff I love to see Robbie!
Thanks, Cam!
these were absolutely amazing shots! just ordered this film stock and i can't wait to shoot it
Thank you! You're going to love it
Colours are just beautiful. If only Kodak produced a neg with these colours but on a Vision/T-grain base...
nice work! I also shot one roll of gold 200 last week and waiting for my development from lab! So excited.. thanks for the video!
Thanks Ryan! Im sure your images are going to be stellar!
@@RobbieMaynardCreates thanks 😀
Ohh GW690! Nice one

Great images, really nice video.
Thanks Mike!

Great comment buddy! I agree with your sentiment. I still gravitate toward Ektar but Gold certainly has its place in my bag now

Great, timely content! And well produced.

Looks great man!
Thanks bud!
Your copy of the GW690 is immaculate! Planning to shoot this combo in a few months, thanks for sharing
I think you're going to love it!
@@RobbieMaynardCreates but its GSW not GS, right?

Nice review and refreshing not to have drum machine hand claps all over the background music, drowning everything out.
haha are you saying that because the first song is just drums and claps? lol
The photo at 3:35 is straight Edward Hopper.
Wow, thank you so much!
Composition, lighting, color rendering all beautiful and very pleasing.
what strap is on your gsw90
