    220 making a comeback is just exactly the news I needed to seriously consider splurging on a FUJI GSW690, at least they're reasonably priced for now.

    Seeing 220 offerings is pretty awesome. I shot an expired roll of Vericolor III in 220 this fall and having 26-27 shots on tap in the Pentacon Six without having to reload was a nice change.

    I have been able to order fresh Shanghai gp3 100 speed 220 film from random vendors in China. I have a fujica gl690 camera that would only normally shoot 8 shots in 120, but 16 with 220. My girlfriend is somewhat new to film photography, so her mamiya 6 goes from 12 shots to 24 respectively. It suits her style of shooting, which is spray and pray. We shoot handheld street photography, so 100 speed film is a bit limiting for our style, but that isn't the films fault by any means. I might have to try that reflex labs 220 film out, I has no idea it existed. Cheers

    Yes! The Mamiya 7 needs 220, sometimes you just get into a groove and…you need to swap rolls. I have some expired Fuji 160s 220 that I can’t bring myself to use, definitely looking forward to getting a few rolls of this!

    I have been rolling my own 220 for about a year and a half, and I love it so much. And I’ve sold some to other people as well, everyone agrees that this is an awesome format. In fact, I may be part of the reason they are making 220, as I asked about getting some of the 120-width Aerocolor stock they had to make some 220 if my own. I unfortunately couldn’t afford to buy a roll off them, but they said they would look into 220. And they did! I’m happy it seems to be coming back, and I’m happy that I can be just a tiny part of why. Go 220!

    • @metalfingersfilm
      @metalfingersfilm  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed, while I understand it's not for everyone, 220 is super helpful when I'm out camping and traveling, and helps me get the most out of any light situation!

    220 film give you 32 exposures with a 645 camera almost the same amount as 135 -36 very convenient, other advantage is better flatness of the film what result in sharper images by open diafragma. (Contax 645 has even a vacuumsystem for 220)

  • @Nitidus
    @Nitidus 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One roll of 220 is more than twice the price of 120, unfortunately. You pay a premium for them having to manufacture _less_ rolls to sell the same amount of film. That doesn't sound like the smartest idea for a format that quite few people can use to begin with!

    those were some nice shots you both got. and not setting the camera to 220 is a bummer, but understandable given how little anyone is shooting 220. to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the blooming in the highlights in some of the shots with this stock, and even though I want to support any small shop giving us more variety of films, charging $25 for a roll makes no sense to me, when I can hunt around and get some fresh portra 400 at 12 bucks a roll.

    • @metalfingersfilm
      @metalfingersfilm  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I'm guessing the price will be competitive, otherwise yeah, shooting portra is obviously a fail proof plan. That being said, having to swap out rolls can be a nuisance for me when I'm out camping and the light is changing quick af, so I can see myself having a use case for it pretty often, to be honest!

      from Wikipedia: The 220 format was introduced in 1965 and is the same width as 120 film, but with about double the length of film and thus twice the number of possible exposures per roll.
