Kodak Vision3 - The Most Cinematic Film? [First impressions]

- Join me on this film photography vlog as I'm trying out Kodak Vision3 500t with the Fujifilm tx-1 aka Japanese XPan. Shot this film for the first time at night, pushed it 2 stops. It's certainly the most cinematic film by definition, but is it my favorite? I am not quite sure yet. Definitely need to shoot this film more to form a proper opinion, but I hope you enjoyed this vlog.
Kodak Vision3 is originally motion picture video film, but it can also be shot with stills cameras with a few adaptations. There's popular brands like silbersalz who sell these, but you can also find them for cheaper off of places like amazon/lazada simply by searching for kodak vision3. There are 3 different speeds, 50d, 250d, and 500t. I chose 500 pushed 2 stops because of my whole thing for night photography and inability to use a tripod.
This is almost the same as cinestill, at least in theory, but with an added remjet layer which prevents those trademark cinestill halations. In practice though I do see some more subtle differences, especially in temperature, but there are many factors that may explain those differences so I can't speculate furhter.

I think they all turned out gorgeous- the cold overall coloring emphasizes the rainy weather and looks so lovely with those softened reds
I really like the video! I'm always so hyped up when I see you posting new video. shooting f4 at night is probably a though thing for sure, but this camera is so unique, it's cool.
Thanks very much! Yeah the f4 is tough, might try with a tripod next time as well although I hate dragging one with me
Just in love with your videos, seen all of em...! Thanks for the valuable information...! 😍
Thanks for the support 🙏
My first roll of 500T is in the lab, I'm kinda hyped to see the results! Solid work ✊
That wait and delayed gratification is my favourite part about shooting film
@@teemu.mp4 Indeed!
I don't think these shots are boring but you have to think/create a story! For example that one you took with the family sitting on the right of the photo. Once i took a shot of a woman walking alone and didn't notice she was wearing a coat saying: stop following me. This tells a good story of loneliness. I love the moody/dark/under-exposed vibes, keep creating!
Hah yeah speaking of shirts look closely at 1:34. But the photo still looks bad imo so the real story is that I'm a terrible photographer :)
Seriously speaking though, the shot with the family is one of the better ones from this day, had I waited there a bit longer perhaps something would have happened to make it a bit more compelling and I could have been a bit closer as well. The shots at the end though, not much going on. I'm happy with a few of these but not gonna pretend any of them were legendary.
@@teemu.mp4 we have to admit that it's pretty challenging what you're trying to do(film handheld night shots). I have the same mindset that that if you keep a low profile and constantly trying to improve that's going to make us at least descent!!!
Yeah definitely
These are so beautiful! I love your style~ I wonder if the colour difference between Cinestill and Vision 500t partly comes from the Cinestill being developed in C41 and the latter with ECN-2
That's a good point, never thought about it! It's possible, I'm not a chemist but would be interesting to ask someone who knows about this.
I love the look of this film, I have one roll but havent had the opportunity to shot it. What frightens me is the possibility to get washed blacks, or shadows for that matter
I just shot another roll of this without pushing, like it a lot more this time (might be a video in a few weeks)
Your lens is just too slow and your shots under exposed. You need to get a f/1.4 prime lens. If you would have shot a f/1.8 or f/2 lens you wouldn’t have even needed to push the film at all, but a f/1.4 would give you extra margin to over expose your film at rated speed. Also consider a travel tripod. These you just sling over your shoulder. They aren’t very stable in wind but strike a great compromise.
Also at night, you really have to spot meter a mid tone or meter a highlight and do exposure compensation.
You cant blame the film. When really the issue is a slower lens and no tripod.
I think it's not ideal to shoot it handheld with an f4 lens. I would try to shoot the next roll with a tripod and have it longer exposed ... this said, it will sure eliminate to have moving subjects in the frames. But just to get to see the difference. I am not sure what reciprocity failure Kodak vision 3 has, but it seems to be quite minor. Anyway, I am curious myself if you get better results next time, since i am also thinking of getting some of this stock 😀
Yeah I mean I thought about it, might be worth experimenting with but a tripod is far from ideal as well. Maybe the exposure is cleaner but you get blur, lose subtlety, mobility, its a pain to drag with you... Need to have a clear plan for shots to make it worthwhile.
Some beautiful compositions!
whats the outro sound, like to listen to such music when studying. Thanks. Love the film look :)
I’d say hit up more lit markets with the vision3 both 500t and 250d slap in those situations, loved the vid
thanks, yeah its about time I shoot this film again!
Cool video and useful narration. Thanks. Where in Bangkok do you develop your film? Any recommendations?
Xanap filmlab at Lido Connect has been perfect so far
Looks fantastic!
Appreciate it :)
they are amazing! did u develop urself? and used a tripod or handheld?
Handheld, developed at lab
It would be interesting to see how Fujifilm reala 1600 behaves at night.
Is reala same as superia? I've shot superia a few times at 800
Oh, I just realized I made a mistake. I meant a “Fuji Natura 1600” and not “Fuji Reala 1600”
From what I’ve seen Superia 1600 is very different from Natura 1600.
@@akmqb5026 ah gotcha, that one I never tried yet, never even heard of it in fact
What aperture and shutter speed did you shoot these imageas at
what is the bgm you used?
I wish someone had Kodak 5247!
thats a mclaren 720s at 4:28
It seems as though 500t isn’t the great to push.
I've later learned that I've misunderstood how pushing film works altogether lol
hardly any light is tungsten anymore therefore blue
