The diy aspect of using old photography gear is what I love the most! This video is great, I just acquired a Crestline Super 8 and some film from the 70s that I can't wait to use. Your video is giving me confidence to try developing my own! Thank you! 😊❤
Great! It's really fun (when it goes well) I would just recommend not shooting anything you care too much about in this way because there is never any guarantee that it'll come out at all. Although of the three rolls that I have developed, I've never had any come out completely blank. Good luck though! If you post the results anywhere, I'd be interested in seeing them 🙂
I just bought a Nikon super zoom 8 as well. Such a cool camera. You mentioned you had trouble with the exposing? On the front of the camera you can manually open and close the apurât ure. It’s next to the trigger it’s a dial with a button. It has A M and C on it. If you just use a light meter on your phone you can set the aperture manually
Yeah, I tried that for a bit on a previous project but there are no specific aperture f stop markings, so it's not at all specific and the stuff I shot with auto exposure what much better than what I shot by guessing on the dial, so I decided that the best option would be to use the auto exposure and then try to correct when developing for this project, which worked fairly well.
Massive respect for going through with this, using expired film aswell. I miss Kodachrome dearly
Yeah, it's a real shame that it can't really be used for its intended purpose anymore.
