      Thanks. They are nice films but I find them tricky to expose correctly. I'm looking forward to trying them both out again in the future.

    The main reason for the sky not being as dark as you wanted is because the film is insensitive to red light, so unless the sky was really red/orange it won't give dark gradations. Nice photos by the way, stellar composition.

    Very nice. I'd be interested in medium format but I'm now just trying to get back into 35mm film, and that in the middle of a pandemic. We'll see how this plays out. Keep up the good work and be safe.

    • @StephenMilner

      @@StephenMilner Because I have a lot of 35mm equipment and I haven't used it for a long time. I'm eager to put it to use again. I'll consider picking up a medium format camera and trying that also.

      @StephenMilner  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@basicforge Awesome, that makes it easy to start shooting film again. One thing to keep in mind, medium format is very rewarding and is better fo scanning. I guess it all depends on what you will be doing with the film.

    • @basicforge
      @basicforge 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@StephenMilner Yes, I haven't figure out yet the best way to scan these in. I have a Pentax K20D and I think I will try to get a bellows for it so I can digitize my negatives that way. I can currently do it buy the negative only fills about 1/5th of the frame so my 14.6 megapixel camera becomes about 3MP. I also have a Canon 1ds mark II that my brother gave me but I'm not ready to invest in that platform. I prefer the purity of the Pentax K-Mount system.

    really enjoyed this vid and your other vids. I bought my Mamiya 7ii a few years ago with a 80 & 150mm lens. I ordered a 50mm tonight on ebay and looking forward to using it. When I was checking out ebay was very surprised how much these cameras have gone up in price. I think I paid about $2.5k AU with the lenses and they seem to be a bit more than that now. Just on film developing costs I can recommend doing it yourself. It's pretty easy to do, the gear isn't expensive and quite satisfying. You just need to ensure you have your developer temperature right and obviously the time right, and I've found results to be at least as good and often better than commercial labs.

    • @StephenMilner
      @StephenMilner  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 50mm is my favourite lens for landscapes and I hope you enjoy it too. They are in demand and are expensive because the lenses are great. My camera body was the 7, it had the 7ii upgrades and they sell for about $2.5k on their own now. I have some of the equipment on my eBay watch list but I haven't researched the chemicals yet. What equipment and chemicals do you use?

      Hey man Hi
      I used the Universal Quick Release L Plate Vertical Bracket For Nikon D750 but had to modify it slightly by cutting the lip in the bottom plate with a small hacksaw. It was easy to do.

    I very much enjoyed the video and the images, but I very nearly didn't get to see any of it because your preamble was so long and repetitive. I wonder how many people give up before they get to the good bit? Fabulous images though, and it would be interesting to see a direct comparision between this film and a more conventional panchromatic film.

    Try a medium yellow, or even orange filter for the sky to get clouds to show up when using orthochromatic film, and filter out ultraviolet, too. Here's a nice article on it. chestofbooks.com/arts/photography/The-Fundamentals-Of-Photography/Chapter-XII-Orthochromatic-Photography.html
