I got into instant cameras and instant photography thanks to Ben on his channel over a year or so ago, and it's also gotten me curious about other film formats like 35mm / 120, what on earth they mean, etc. So thank you SO MUCH BFC for having a familiar face on to help me 😁.It's gonna take a heck of a lot more learning but it's a start

The only medium format cameras I own are Kodak Brownie box cameras. One of them is the number 2 Brownie that takes film. The other is a 620 camera. Very unique. They may not be as sharp is the more sophisticated medium format cameras here but the Box cameras can be had at relatively cheap prices. I would just make sure it's a model that takes 120 film if your new to film.

I have always thought that grain in film was the result of undeveloped silver halides that simply resulted no (or a greatly reduced) image in that microscopic speck of film. I'm no film chemist, so I'm open to being totally wrong about this. However, if this is the case, wouldn't 35mm be at a disadvantage re grain because, for example, a 2-micron grain on 35mm constitutes a larger percentage of image area than that same 2-micron undeveloped speck in a 6x7 image? Asking for a friend.

No need to make it "vs", we can all coexist here! It's not Film Reality TV after all.
Oh, Film Reality TV! Dibs!

[@brooklynfilmcamera]

Vs only in the sense of basic comparison!
