What? No Mirror Lock Up??? Really? 👀👀👀

I'm late to the party but by now you might have sorted you double exposure problems out. If so maybe you or another reader might like to know that I used these cameras in the 1980s professionally and bought all the lenses except the 250mm. So what I hear you ask, so this. I found that the 105mm lens for this system is absolutely incredibly good. Beautiful for female and child portraiture. If you don't got one, get one. All the best Jake.

Thanks for the examples and comparison!

some of my favorite filter combos with my canon ae 1 is red being the main in combo with either orange and green sometimes blue, you should try multiple filters joshua.

Interesting. I never heard of him before. It's nice to see someone with a sense of humor especially to be silly and funny within himself.

Great video. Do a video on Michel Haddi.

my wife, in tthe 70th she was my girl friend, had a FTb brand new in the 70th, I was allowed to use the camera, in 1990 we buyed some more glasses, in 2021 we reactivate the camera and buyed 4 more, in germany you got a FTb with glasses for 20-30 € . I really love this camera. But analog films, especially color, are extremely high priced. So I added a digital camera to my list but still use the FTB. Digital is medium format and has a 55mm Objectiv = 45mm in fullformat (35mm). I mostly use the FTb for monochrome. A good Color-36 is over 30 € :-( But this smooth and the shutter click on the FTB is what I love most. And, the FTb is so robust, I think if film and interest people exist in 100 years the camera will, maybe, need a overhaul but then it is ready for the next 100 years. ;-) a tip, sure you are all know this, but I shut every week all the FTbs, without film in all shutter speed options, this held the mechanic alive. After that I open the Camera. The flilm counter goes to s, so I know in which camera is a film and which camera is not loaded...

Be aware that a red filter renders both blue sky and green leaves darker, it's probably not a problem with the FG's metering in the landscape examples you showed, just the greens being rendered very dark by the red filter. I normally add exposure compensation or point my camera at greenery and then lock the exposure on my Nikon (or use manual mode) and recompose to expose for lighter shadows/greenery when using an orange filter. In general you will find that red filters on landscapes with greenery are hard to exposure correctly as you need meter for the greenery in shadows to get any shadow detail but that can then overexpose the sky. It's easier using an orange filter, but even that might resulted in underexposed areas that are green. It's a whole lot easier to use a yellow filter for landscapes as these filters also separate the greens tones reasonably well and provide a reasonable darkening of the sky and good separation of the clouds. Red filters are great in cities as they often lighten red brick buildings and darken the skys dramatically as you have shown without losing too much detail in the shadows.

Nice photos. Love the studio photos and the colors of nature popped as well as the stained glass. I wish they would stop discontinuing films that people used and loved.

What happened to part 4?

I don't shoot film but your channel is very interesting and your tests too. Keep up the good work !!

As someone who back in the days of T-Max, Ektapress, Kodachrome 200, Kodachome 120, etc., when I was handling product publicity for Kodak's Professional Photography Division, I truly appreciate the time and effort needed to run these film tests and comparisons. Very helpful. Keep up the great work!

Reallt appreciate ALL your videos, really helpful, thank you!

Thank you for the video, although I have to point out that for "Le Smoking" the model is wearing make up, light make up agreed. As stated "The photoshoot on Rue Aubriot took place in a small group, with a group of only 5 people. Francine Crescent, the editor-in-chief of Vogue in 1975, was present, alongside Helmut Newton, the hairdresser-stylist and the two models. Including Vikebe, the model for “Le Smoking”, with whom the photographer regularly collaborates."

Great video. I’m about to pull the trigger on purchasing one tomorrow. I expect that will go through a few rolls before perfecting my skills since this will be my first medium format camera. This was very insightful and helpful. Thanks much… keep on doing what you doing. Peace

So much for the trusty Bronica.

Ah the red cube. I used to work for the company in the building behind it

Horses are awesome

They're good for photographing hungover girls too. It makes them look less fucked up.

I am of the opinion that these filters also come in handy when using digital cameras.

Nice video man, some comments, they are my personal opinion as an amateur photographer so take them for what you think they are worth. Pumpkin shot, saw it in your prior video, great shot, vibrant colours, nice balance all together, does the phoenix 200 proud. I like IR images but I prefer landscapes with threes and flowers turn into other colours, with persons I dislike the eyes and that makes even a great image a bit disturbing for me. Can't really be bothered by cats images, more of a dog guy. Love the photo of NY with the block, nice layers, beautiful film like color with the blue water but man, did you go on and on about describing that shot , way to much buddy. 13:17 Great shot nice colours , well balanced, basically doesn't need any explanation than "I am proud of this shot". Also the other ones of the girl, love the legs up, nice balance. For me the last one with the green jacked didn't need the bewbs. Lets make one thing clear, I like bewbs but she doesn't need it in that particular shot, prefer the right one cause the way she turned her head a bit the lighting of her left side looks better (IMO) Man you are doing a great job with your photos and your channel, simple and honest, no showers of superlatives or other blah blah to lift up mediocre photos. You have a great hit rate and we all have days of boredom and fireworks so hang in and follow your heart

Fuji C200 is repackaged Kodak Gold 200. You're just wrong about Tri-X and T-Max. Otherwise very helpful and good sample images!

You may be out of luck. We wont know the truth of William Eggleston for another 100 years. So many of the great society painters of 100 years ago are now completely unknown. I think it is Hemingway who writes about this a bit in relation to writers.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make this video. I think you have identified some really important issues that I am working through myself. My own experience is that art is a by-product. It is a judgement someone else makes. Setting out to make 'art' is often doomed to failure, because it is normally mimetic. Art that looks like what art should look. The best lies are those that are closest to the truth. I have always liked a quote from Ed Ruscha 'I am not trying to communicate an idea, I am trying to explore a subject.'

Here's one that most don't think about and it's not for everyone, Full Metal Jacket. The first half is about basic training and the characters and the second half is about the life of the main character during the Vietnam War as a combat journalist.

I really don't mind if someone these days uses film professionally. But I've said it and I'll say it agin, shooting and developing film and than scanning the damn thing for use in daily news these days is suicidal. I've done it back in the days course there wasn't any other way, but today... NOT for the money I'm getting, just saying... BTW still no "Under fire" ? 😉

The reason I Schoot film is the unpredictability and quirkiness of it. So the more uniqueness the better. Kodak Ektar is my favorite film but goes blue in shadows. I am all ok with that.To quote Boss Ross. There are no mistakes just happy accidents.

Checking out you favorite movie..you showed.a few shot and it hooked me in

What? You list the fact that thr meter on your camera is broken as a con for the camera as a whole? How did you figure that, hilarious.

Great video. I think one of the main benefits of self-scanning is better colour management, both during conversion and also that you can then work on a RAW image instead of a lower but JPG lab scan.

Vignetting is gone with 80 mm lens : )

The NOBLE intention of journalists. You really do live in your own little world. Perhaps decades ago this was true, but now the vast majority of journalists are anything but impartially reporting the facts, they are shills for one political party.

Pecker movie. Stupid but notable

Don’t worry about not being early with the release of the film, I was excited to see your 120 Phoenix video when it came!

Great video, you keep surprising me. The results of your shots are indeed diversified. Sometimes it's almost equal to 35mm and sometimes it is totally different. IMO you have to shoot more with this film a while and then get a better sense of what to be expected. About the color cast, you do better to ignore it in LR and bring the results of your editing into PS and handle the color cast there. There are good YT videos about handling color cast in PS. (e.g. Piximperfect) , but I agree, it is annoying. Success with the film and thanks for sharing

Harmon developed this from scratch which is a very daunting thing to do. While Ilford/Harmon has been making B/W for about 170 yrs color is very different process. Just remember that Kodak has a 90+ yr head start on making and refining color film so it may take several yrs for them to get all the necessary info to make a well rounded color emulsion

The Bikeriders didn't do anything that seven seasons of Sons of Anarchy didn't

Civil War was very entertaining, and as someone who started out with my dad’s old Nikon, I got why the aspiring photographer would use it. Damn thing is a tank. But there is no way she was developing decent pictures in the field. The one scene they were developing rolls in the stadium and it took me right out of the moment, and there was no way she could get shots off as fast as they did with that Nikon. Realism aside, it is a good film. Probably wouldn’t irk me so much if they weren’t going for realism. Probably my favourite film with photography as a central component was John Waters’ Pecker. You mentioned it in a past video so I know you’ll get to it. Just damn funny and weirdly heartwarming in that celebrate your freak way Waters has. Years ago I watched a doc on Nobuyoshi Araki called Tokyo Noise. Another one for your list is Love Exposure, about an Up-Skirt photographer taking down a cult. Weird weird film. Thanks for the great recommendations! Going to watch The Fall now!

Jessie using a film camera was briefly addressed in the movie; basically she took whatever camera was available. The camera she's using she borrowed from her grandfather or her dad, I forget which, but that's why she's shooting film.

Another interesting film is 84c Mopic from 1989. It features a 16mm combat cameraman in Vietnam.

I’ve had a C3 for about 25 years now and I love it.

As a younger semi professional photographer shooting with a film body is significantly more accessible than getting a digital body, I got my f4 for about £120, even an entry level semi pro dslr like a d750 will set me back 3 times that. I can make my expenses back shooting film pretty easily, but I just don't have the lump sum to invest in a decent dslr.

Thanks for the presentation. I bought a Mamiyaflex C2 with a 105mm a few years ago and have been using it to shoot instax mini with great results. A small homemade template fits the film plane nicely. Recently purchased a C330 with a couple of lenses (80 & 65) so looking forward to using this with HP5+

A Ghost Story это просто прекрасная операторская работа. и я фотограф. так что это моё мнение и этот фильм для меня вдохновение...

The last one also doesn't have anything to do with photography, it should not be here either.

The first one doesn't have anything to do with photography, it should not be here.

Possibly the one example you overlooked was blowup. I think that was classic and enticed many to contemplate a career in photography . It also suggested issues of spies and other big brother concepts .

Chinatown is an underrated classic. Please watch

Film has made a big comeback. Kodak had to hire 24/7 shifts because they could not keep up with the demand. Harmon just came out with a color film as well as others. Many film labs are opening up and 2 new film cameras came out this year.
