      In the short clip before that, he shows off a Tiffen Deep Yellow 15. Can't tell what's in front of it, but looks to be a CPL. Behind it is just a step up ring. I imagine there has to be more to it than just a yellow filter. But that's a starting point.

    Glad to see that even if you're shooting Ektachrome almost all the time, you're still making room for some black and white! Kentmere never disappoints! Either way, I can't wait to see what happens if you get tired of E100, though. Great film stock, but I know the experimentation bug will bite you again one day simultaneously with the siren call of a sweet new film stock you maybe haven't tried! Those vids are always so exciting! Happy new year, Jason! Keep shooting! :)

    The Alien logo on the 5222 120 roll was actually a brand called Alien film in china that focus on selling and repackaging motion picture film. You can get them jolly easy in China or on taobao for like 63RMB which is 9 bucks-ish for the 120 version. They also do colour motion picture films like 5203, 5207, 5213, 5219, and 5294. All of them are relatively cheap but in really high quality. Personally they've already taken over Portra's place in my choice. The only thing that needs to notice is that most of them need to be developed with ECN-2 method which in States very few shops accept them, even in NYC.

    Awesome nikon gear! I almost bought the fm3a from a friend but bought his fm2t instead for half the price because I'm a fan of special editions (it's been one of my favorites to use ever since). The 20-35 is a sick lens. I plan to buy one when the af motor on my 17-35 finally stops working (no motor in the 20-35 means it won't break in that way). The "D" on Nikon lenses is for "distance". Basically it means the lens tells the camera what distance your subject is and it adjusts your flash output accordingly. I love using my n90s with the 17-35 and the sb800 off camera. The autofocus makes it so I can hold the flash off to the side and the matrix meter + d lens makes the flash exposures perfect and effortless

    Revisiting this - while I definitely resonate with bulk loading 24 vs 36 exposure rolls - you should know that the math was done on this and that on a 100 foot roll, with a 6 frame leader - you lose 60 frames by loading 24 exposure rolls vs 36 frame rolls over all on the entire bulk roll.

Also the way you clutched your tripod like a purse when that car pulled up at the end killed me lol you were ready bolt.
