What a helpful review! It's expensive film but it looks worth it. It's exactly the look I'm needing for a rural project. Thank you for your efforts. Great channel 👍🌟🌟🌟
I really like this stock - I just shot it in 120 for the first time recently. One of my subjects was an old sanitarium covered in ivy/moss. Great advice on sneaking out of the “urban jungle” to experiment with other subjects Markus!
Thank you for a very detailed and engaging description of this film. I just got one roll and, considering the cost of film these days, I feel like shooting without knowing his characteristics would be a bit too expensive to me 😅
100 ISO is where it becomes closer to B&W with a little color. At 400 ISO it is too saturated for my liking. But I do like that there are creative choices just based on ISO. It is my favorite color negative film
@@TheMPhotography Yes this is a film that is far better than the silly color shifting films Lomography specialized in, or markets to Instagrammers, like Peacock, which is a fabulous slide film with gorgeous colors IF you develop in in E6 as slide film. Instead the promote it for cross processing in C41 which produces color shifts. Unfortunately their marketing BS is all about nonsensical poetic statements so that it is hard to discern what their films actually do. For example I have recently accidentally discovered their Cine B&W films. The marketing BS is all about invoking the moodiness of 1960's German cinema, whatever that means. In fact I discovered that Berlin Kino and Potsdam films are actually more sensitive to mid tones, give great shadow detail, and are best in lower-light situations like overcast days, and early morning/late afternoon when more contrasty films turn shadows into blacks. I would have never guessed any of this from reading Lomography's BS descriptions. Lomography frustrates me. On one hand I love that they are prepared to give more creative options in film. Plus I will forever be grateful for their commitment to 110 format, because I love the way 110 allows me to exploit grain creatively. But on the other hand they make me want to pull my hair out over their capriciousness in discontinuing things I have come to rely on in a whim of fad and fashion.
Nice film stock, Marcus. I have heard about it on the Nicos Photography Show, but haven't had a chance to order some yet. Hahaha! Work has me under its boots. I will get to it though, as my favourite time of the year is coming up: Autumn, and I'd really like to see what this film can do with those colours. I only wish I could try it out, in one of those remote villages in the Swiss mountains.
@@TheMPhotography thank you Marcus. Switzerland 🇨🇭 has everything: lots and lots of water, the Alps, farmland and quiet villages. Oh, and the cities too (of lesser interest to me, but they are there as well).
Damn I’ve guessed! :) I was thinking to myself that it seemed a lot like Metropolis tones. I love this film too, my favourite colour film. So much so that I shoot 95% black & white film, but when I feel like colour, then it is Metropolis. Very nice walkthrough! :) Couple of questions though: I think I share your experience regarding ISO 200 but I’ve never tried it at 400. Apparently I should. However I’ve also heard you might get more contrast if you shoot it in stronger daylight, regardless of the ISO. Could it be that you’ve experienced this at 400? I’d like to understand the character of this film across the whole ISO range a little better and have a more nuanced insight into what ISO works for which use cases and weather/light conditions. I feel I’ve only scratched the surface with the few rolls I’ve shot. So if you ever make a follow-up video to this one, I’d be very curious to hear your opinion, Markus :). Again, thanks for sharing your images and thoughts on Metropolis!
Thanks a lot. I will keep experimenting with the film. Will definitely try what you said about stronger light at ISO 400. And I am planning to shoot 120 in my Mamiya as well. If I find out anything noteworthy in those experiments I will make a followup video.
@@TheMPhotography I do. It’s adds something different to the mix rather than seeing portra films all the time. I shoot it 100 speed and develop normally. I have a shoot coming up and I’ll use this film and tag you. I use 120 film so I’m familiar how the colors render out. Don’t have 35mm to compare it to. But nonetheless, great film
Ok, nice film but 12€90 a roll... I’m sure you can have the same result with a bleach bypass during processing with a cheap film, I need to give this a try

Thanks a lot Linjica. Glad to hear the video was helpful to you.
this actually helps me a lot other reviews never said if they play with film on different iso settings
wow those nature shots are marvelous, haven't seen that much use in that area

Thanks Dave. I will try the film in 120 also in the future. I still have 35mm rolls I want to finish first.
It's slightly grainy for me in 35, but I still really love it. It's always such a pleasant surprise for me when I use it.
Oh yeah, I love shooting this in overcast weather with a strong color contrast like red clothes ... and I'm working on that underwater thing. :)
Sweet. Curious how the shots will look. I saw that you posted some underwater photos with portra and ultramax.
Nice review and informative, thank you very much for posting.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
I just enjoy your presentatation !! Thanks!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks. Yeah, so interesting how this film behaves based on the ISO. Happy to hear that you also enjoy this film.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, should work nicely in autumn. I hope you will be able to try it out in the Swiss mountains one day.

Thank you for this review very detailed. Question not related to film, may I know what's that rocket display behind you? :)
Thanks. RE backdrop. It’s the Lego 50th year anniversary moon landing tribute set for the Apollo program with 1969 pieces.
It’s a great film. I’ve used it for studio portraits
Wow, great. Did you like the film for studio portraits? Would be curious to see some of those shots if you posted them somewhere online.
@@TheMPhotography I do. It’s adds something different to the mix rather than seeing portra films all the time. I shoot it 100 speed and develop normally.

Cool. Thanks. Looking forward seeing it. I will also try 120 in the Mamiya RZ67 in the future.
Where did you get the music track from? I just started making videos on LumaFusion with my IPhone and IPad Pro
The track is from Epidemic sound. I use their library. Previous to that I used the RUclips audio library, that is also ver good.
Ok, nice film but 12€90 a roll... I’m sure you can have the same result with a bleach bypass during processing with a cheap film, I need to give this a try
Not cheap indeed. Give it a try though. If you don’t like it you can go back to bleach bypass.
one year later, it ended to be one of the cheapest color films nowadays
looks like Fuji 400 that expired 5 years ago.
😄
