YOOO I looked up Fuji Superia, your video was first! Clicked on it, and what do you know, I'm seeing Fort Worth! Crazy!

Nice work ❤

Do you have classes there is a particular style I want to learn in videography

Absolutely love how you put this together, Thomas! Nailed the vibes. Super nice shots too 🙌

Heartbreaking to see this stock go

Sick shots! What application did you use to create that mood board prior to production?!

Did your friend shoot everything for you?? It looks like this is his photoshoot to me

2:06 what an exquisite example of of this roll of film. Well done! I have this film simulation on my x100 camera. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's a mix of Kodak Ultra Max and a film simulation called 1979. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Thomas I just picked up a X-E4, anyway you can share your camera settings or do a video on them?

After my first olympus 35 DC which is a traditional metal rangerfinder. I 'll like to take lighter XA as my side camera with modern digital panasonic G9 for days of tour :)

I know this is kinda old but what focal length and film stock did you use at the time? I love this image th-cam.com/video/Q13503yiBnk/w-d-xo.html, that fade is dope

Really nice work and great video. It’s refreshing to see someone using a rangefinder camera in a studio setting. Leicas are much more than street cameras. Thank you for sharing.

It is great for those new to MF, but by no means for beginners only. It enables me to easily print 20 or 24" prints that no way i would make with 35 mm. The neg is 3x the size and the difference is substantial. So end result usage is a consideration. With 35 mm get 36 shots, and if only printing to 16" it is fine and easily portable and uses my killer nikon/zeiss glass. The 645 is totally portable in the stripped down configuration, wlf, hand crank. The RB once you learn to wear it cross body, can be carried for hours and quickly accessible but unless the additional resolution or tonal transitions is necessary, the 645 does all that is needed.

18 minutes of suffering sounds like you did pretty well :D People out there have no idea how much work it is to put together what may seem like a simple 5 minutes talking head thing... anyway, thanks for the detailed review. It was exactly what I was looking for. =)

The shot at 4:21 is beautiful!

There are newer lens from Light Lens Lab that can truly capture images with Leica look, and the lens are physically aesthetically appealing too.

The price of the Contax is 80% celebrity endorsement. I’ve had three and all have broken. The electrics are brittle and will inevitably shit the bed, but all my XAs are running, and you can get ten XAs for one Contax. If Beyoncé busted out an XA they would cost $2k each too.

Hey man! Love the video what is the trigger he's using on the RZ. I have the westscotts as well. I also dont see him using a sync cord for the trigger as well. You have any more info on this? Thanks!

great vid my man! just bought a minolta cle with a 40mm 1.4 nokton today...cant wait to get her in my hands next week

Any recommendations on flash sync you used?

Is this the single coat or the multicoat?

Incredible video you killed it dude

Nostalgia ultra - cheers to the good old days 🎉

When a video brings nostalgia, memories of friends since gone, and a sense of hope >>>

Incredible

When I see a video like this I think, wow thank God there’s still ARTISTS out there instead of Content Creators. Well done, Thom ❤

dude you compare it to the m6 do you have two rolls of film in that? two card slots are over rated.. I'm. almost don't want to say this but during 23 years of digital shooting I never had a Sd card failure.. 19 out of those years are as a working professional.

This is what I started on shame it's gone.

This was such an insightful and helpful video. Surprised it hasn’t gotten more love. I’m looking for my first film camera so I’ll take a look at the xa! Thank you

I just got back into shooting film after years of shooting digital. I picked up the Pentax 654N because I love medium format. Back in the day I owned a Pentax 6x7. I have gotten into HP5 Plus and I have to say it is a gorgeous B&W film. Back in the day I was a big fan of Ilford's XP1 so I am no stranger to Ilford films. I shoot HP5 Plus at box speed and home develop in Ilford DD-X. I would recommend for anyone to try this film. You too might become a fan. Thanks for the video

“Most affordable” until every youtuber under the sun makes a video about it.

The images from this lens look good. Also, what film were you using?

Man, I’d love to try out strobes in the studio on film. As intimidating as it seems, it looks so fun. I’m out in Texas too. Might have to come up to Dallas and ask for some advice.

Excellent video. What film developer do you use? Thanks.

Great video. Surprised you didn't mention Zeiss as far as an alternative to Leica lenses. Zeiss lenses out preform Voigtlander and many of them you can grab for under $800. I personally own their 21mm 2.8, 28mm 2.8, and 50mm 1.5. All fantastic lenses and all purchased for under $700.

Great video. Excellent photos at the hotel.

Leica camera and Voigtländer lenses. Really? How should Leica survive, when many people purchase Voigtländer lenses? Leica M6 with a Voigtländer lens is a joke. Better save money a little bit longer and earn Leica glass, than that kind of culture shock.

I found your review spot on. I have had mine for about 2 years. I use it on my CL and on my M10-R. The lens performs well on both cameras. I have noticed that wide open the DOF is extremely shallow. So mailing the focus can be tricky and requires some practice. All the same, it is a very good lens.

motivation

They left your Leica on the doorstep 😮

Very interesting, I have just acquired a cheap strobe myself, and I want to give it a try and your video gives me courage to do so. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Thomas for sharing your shooting. Very inspiring photos. Good job! 👍

Original Superia 400 was my fave colour film and HP5 for black and white. A real shame it's not madr anymore. Look at any film box or packet, if its "Made in USA" then it's Kodak inside. If you manage to find "Made in Japan" then it's true Fuji.

However, Fuji did replace it with a new 400 ISO film that is made the Kodak just like their 200 ISO file is. Basically to keep their name in the film world Fuji is outsourcing their file for Kodak to produce. They basically make instax file which is where the money is. I don't know if they still make Velvia 100 or they just have enough stock to keep selling for a while. However, there seems little doubt that Fuji is pulling out of file. Their new acros B&W is made for them by Harmond in the UK.

Walmart Fuji is not superia anymore, they send Fujifilm 400, which is the neewer (rebranded Ultramax) version of it.

ordered my first film camera yesterday and got a roll of this film, super excited to shoot it
