Photos with gold remind me of the 80s/90s holidays, even though I wasn't even born yet.
It makes all the world a sunny day, oh yeah.
It always upsets me, when TH-camrs recommend Portra for starting out Gold is the perfect film for first timers.
Exactly!
Who's recommending Portra for begginers?!
@@peskymacaw9033 A lot of people... like, a lot of people. But to be fair, Portra 400 is an excellent starter film, if a bit expensive. But it has massive exposure latitude and is very forgiving of lighting conditions. There's a reason Portra 400 is called the "Auto Mode" of the film world. It is an easy film to learn.
@@GregoryVeizades Who's "a lot of people"? I follow several youtube channels dedicated to film and I've never heard anyone recommending Portra for begginers. And I never said that Portra is a bad film, but it isn't for starting, sure you can start with if you want, it but is far from optimal, is a professional film. Besides, is a film thought for protraits (landscapes, street photograpgy, wildlife photo.. etc they all look a bit off wit Portra), so it reduces it uses further more for a begginer. If you are starting or just for a casual shoting and want a bit of flexibility with the light just go for an Ultramax, Fuji Venus or something like that.
Tbf, it's always out of stock when you're tryna get one
Remember the good old days when labs would give you a free roll of this stuff.
Im Born in 2000, you kidding? Film for free? Dafuck
Razer 70 Some labs would give you a free roll of cheap film when you had your photos developed. Back when film was like 2 dollars a roll.
@@teleaddict23 the lab where I take my photos to get developed still gives me a free roll everytime
The free roll at my lab was a 24 exp one but they stopped years ago ... now you get 1€ off your next roll ... still better than nothing
@@milkyway6080 Where is that lab??
This is the film of my childhood. Dad always used it; the reds, yellows, and yes, golds from this film are so, so good.
Kodak Gold! (gold)
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible, always believe in
Kodak gold (gold)
Spandau Ballet fan alert.
Wish they made it for 120 lol. Like I need some cheap 120 film
Fomapan is a really cheap and good bw120 film.
I second Fomapan. Although it is only B&W it really opened up the 120 world for me. However, here in Europe, we can get it around 6,6 CAD, so that is definitely biased.
but 120 is professional size not consumer size. if you want consumer price use consumer size, i wish they made cheap hasselblads lmao
@@bobzmuda3940 120 isn't really only professional If you look at the cheap holga cameras
@@retrodragonfigther7729 thats entry level professional, there is no reason in using 120 unless youre printing larger prints, like prints larger than normal/consumer/family vacation prints
I agree -- when these consumer films dry up, that will have a detrimental impact on the easy access to just try out film. I am film lover from way back when that was all that there was -- but it's nice to encourage my daughters to put aside their smart phones and DSLRs, and throw a decent point-and-shoot at them with a roll of film and have them mess around. But yeah -- if the only film available is "pro" and costs $10+ a roll, and is harder to find -- "youngsters" who just want to see what all the fuss over film is about, will think twice about messing around. I prefer ColorPlus 200 over Gold 200, though I like them both. I often find them at almost the same price -- and I'll grab either to use for testing out my way-too-large camera collection! I do wish that there were 120 versions of these films though -- I love Ektar 100, but it almost seems a waste to use that film in an old box camera, or a fixed-focus folder, or a pseudo-TLR camera where the camera is just not going to produce a super-sharp image. The more "family vacation" colors of ColorPlus and Gold (and to a lesser extent, UltraMax) would be the perfect match for these cameras that were the "point-and-shoots" of their day -- Stay Safe Noah!!!!
Aengus MacNaughton it annoys me so much that medium format nowadays is seen as the “professional” format. I would love to delve into medium format, but I find that it’s often expensive, though there are an abundance of older cameras laying around
@@AeromaticXD -- I do enjoy the old consumer medium format cameras, even with the drawbacks. There is a decent selection of less expensive 120 black&white film available, but I do enjoy the 35mm consumer color films and yes, I would shoot more medium-format consumer cameras if I had that sort of film available in 120....
Well...
where i live a kodak gold roll costs 15 dollars
@@Federico84 -- Yep -- the 2022 Kodak price increases. I really prefer ColorPlus 200 but have not been able to get that for months....
Kodak Gold brings back nostalgic memories for me
just brought a 3 pack of gold yesterday and then you release this !!
In the early 2000s Kodak had an 800 ISO ultramax film that is been discontinued for a long time. I used it a lot in a Minolta Freedom Zoom camera.
Found that camera a few weeks ago for 15 dollars and it’s probably my favorite one now honestly
Kodak Gold is the film of my childhood, all holidays, birthdays, days out etc were shot on Kodak Gold. The nostalgia film.
Gold is my favorite film ever. Is has exactly the look I need. Love it
I always stock pile consumer film, because as you said many times you just need to shoot 😊👍
I usually rate Kodak Gold 200 at ISO 100.
And Kodak Gold is my reference when I roll some homemade redscale film.
(7,99 € for a pack of 3 here in Germany.)
Michael Zieschang wo gibt es das denn noch? Wo ich wohne kostet eine Rolle schon 7€ 🤐
J Salvation Ich wohne in Rostock und hatte im Frühjahr nach der Ankündigung der Preiserhöhung einige 3er Packs bei dm/Rossmann gekauft. Aktuell hab ich das wieder gelassen, da diese immer wieder vorrätig waren.
In Berlin gibts bei dm und Rossmann nur noch schwarz/weiß Filme leider
J Salvation soll ich mal was einkaufen und dir zuschicken ?
Something that I have learned recently is that Vision3 250D is almost identical to Portra 400. If you are willing to give C-41 a try at home (or are willing to send it to a dedicated ECN lab), you can get a great deal! $100 for 20 rolls of Portra? Yes please. That is a consumer price point for a pro film!
Now, some people might not want to go this route, thinking it is expensive, but I will just say, if you are willing to pay to start bulk loading/developing film at home, you will save money.
Another thing that scares people is the dreaded RemJet. It isn’t that difficult to deal with, just put baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in the water pre-bath, then rinse the film until the water is clear.
And finally, the only real difference between ECN and C-41, is the rem-jet removal. There are slight chemistry differences, but it is almost exactly the same proses. If you want to proses your film in ECN chemistry, go ahead! But most of the comparisons online I have found show minimal differences.
I have just started doing this proses, and can’t wait to see the results I get, but I am going to wait until all 20 rolls I loaded have been shot before developing them, so it is going to be a surprise.
Thanks Noah. Long live consumer level film. I recently shot the Fujifilm Industrial 100 35mm. It was cheap and bought a few rolls. The hype is real with this stuff.
Kodak Gold is mega powerful when you shoot it on a tripod at night, its just so crisp and it fares nicely with long exposures
Ok, you have got to do an analytical film tier list. I feel like you would have helpful and fair observations on that outside of just preference
Nice to see I am not the only lunatic to be be walking around Toronto with a 40yr old camera !
Well all Kodak film prices are skyrocketing now... The "Consumer Film" price is coming near the professional Portra...
Film camera prices are slowly getting out of hand aswell
@@thisandthat1233 Actually the beginner auto cameras prices are dropping, because a lot of kids can't afford the rapid rising fil price, now they are giving up and selling their cameras. The higher tier camera is rising... Like Contax T2/3, cos some celebrity use them~ Quite silly.
I was literally thinking about this the other day after sorting through a bunch of old family vacation negatives.
I'm 100% admitting that I shoot on film here and there just for the look, and Gold 200 has been extremely serviceable for me. Stealing an Apple line, it just works and when I show the pictures to my friends they all love it. Weirdly enough, I love shooting manual on my DSLR&MILC, but for analog I like using point and shoots.
For analog, automatic exposure, automatic focus, and ADHD point and shoot get in my way. I am 100% manual and I make the creative decisions. I deal with severe spasticity, and I must have control over my shutter speed, or the risk of blurry happens!
Glad to hear you like ColorPlus more than Gold. I feel the same way. Dunno why. Looks better at golden hours than gold does
Color plus 200 used to be so good for 2,50 a roll, but now it cost around 7-9 pounds that is just insane!
Dude, I live in Brazil and just got my first film roll ever (the gold 200 36exp) and it costed me R$130 which would be about 20 pounds, so trust me, u guys have it good
@@emanuelle8364 whaaaaaat that's crazy, I personally have stopped shooting film, sometimes I shoot 120 but not much maybe about 15 rolls a year. For you is it worth shooting 36 photos for that much money?
@@girmonsproductions well, it's an experience that I've been wanting to have for so long now, I found an affordable camera online yesterday and realized I couldn't miss that chance, it's very disappointing though to know the price, but I'll be shooting only somethings and I plan to use this roll for a couple months, so all in all I think it's worth it. But I'm also expecting that Brazil's film photography gets bigger and more film will be produced here again, because what makes it so expensive is how rare it is here these days.
And also I do have a DSLR for videos and family photos
@@emanuelle8364 yeah that’s fair enough, I used to be like that too, super selective and then it is really worth it for sure. Yeah I love film so much but for me it’s not that worth. My fujifilm xe4 produces some excellent replacements for all those film stocks. But hopefully one day it’ll get affordable again. All the best with your shooting 🤝
Omg I love your videos. It helps me so much to notice all the small details/differences i can‘t see myself. Thanks!
I love consumer films so much for the price, and Ultramax is a great film stock!
Gold 200 and ultramax 400 are great for testing out a new camera to see if the shutter speed is somewhere close to accurate.
I love shooting Gold and Ultramax, I think even more than Portra or Ektar. For me, these two films just really capture the feeling of a memory, of being a moment in time, of being a specific moment in history. And plus, I can just go to the Walgreens down the street from my apartment and pick up a three-pack for a relatively inexpensive price. They’re not the best for every scenario for sure, but I think for a lot of people Gold and Ultramax gives them exactly what they want when shooting film
Your channel actually inspired me to start one of my own, so thank you for that!
Pls continue doing this stuff, you really help a lot of people. I appreciate it!
pd: sorry if my english is not the best
Evrywhere Sold out in Europe, sold at horrible prices at ebay. Trying Formapan now :D
Shoot color cine. Cheap as sh, $3 per roll of 38+, cheap and simple developer and amazing performance. Low ISO films have extremely small grain. 24MP scanning camera was barely enough to catch the grain of F-64D. Just don't buy from speculators
Not in Germany, try the drugstores DM and Rossmann, a pack of three costs 7,95€, which makes it incredibly cheap. Every single store of those drug store chains have Kodak Gold in stock.
Fotomax K also ich bin aus München und Kodak Gold und ultramaxx sind fast nirgends zu bekommen. In Hamburg das selbe.Hab mir jetzt welchen aus Berlin zu schicken lassen
@@razer7058 habe ich nicht erwartet 🤔 merke ich mir aber, für den Fall, dass ich da zum Fotografieren hinfahre.
the first film i used, brilliant photos
100% worth it
When investing in a scanner for 35mm, is there a recommended DPI resolution for the scanner to have? I managed to get my hands on an old PrimeFilm1800u scanner from the 90s for like $3 and it works very well, but it scans at a 1800 DPI. I was curious what would be an acceptable resolution in your eyes.
2400dpi is generally the go-to for social media
@@MiracleWinchester good to know, so I guess for a $3 scanner that 1800 dpi isnt too shabby. Lol
@@tannermartin7340 $3! yeah! omg
A 1800 DPI scanner for $3 is a bargain! At this resolution, a 35-mm frame will have 2551x1700 pixels, which is plenty for viewing on a computer screen.
10 rolls of Color Plus arriving on Friday :) I love it, cant get enough.
Kodak Gold is my favorite 35mm colours film, Ultramax not so much but it is the only film still available at local pharmacy, so sometime it dies become handy
Have you thought about doing a roll review on Film Photography Project’s Eastman Double-X film? The images have a really nice 1930s look to them. Each roll is $6.99 USD on the FPP website with the code ‘FOREVER’. Cheers!
Now this is what I've been wanting
Love you channel, from a Canadain to a Canadain , from windsor Ont . I'm working on a ILFORD ORTHO PLUS , 80 black and white film have no idea how's its going to turn out lol ... using a PENTAX MX ... see how it goes lol
From a Canadian in Oz, MX is the greatest 35mm film camera ever, bought mine in 1978, still using it. 0.97x viewfinder magnification, no other 35mm has that, anything less is a deal breaker. Shutter cocked indicator, was Pentax the only one to have this essential feature? Any film camera without it is a deal breaker. And DOF preview, essential, can't believe some SLR's and DSLR's don't have this, deal breaker too if it's missing. Isn't WYSIWYG the whole point of an SLR ? No DOF preview, no WYSIWYG. Having a go at B&W here too, just for fun, HP5.
Kodak Gold us great pusged at 400 ! I hated it at 200 but pushed, it's awesome !
I've been shooting film seriously for over 20 years, and shot my share of Portra 400 (love an hate) and Ektar 100 (please deliver the 35mm and 120 master packs to my house). I've been riffing on ColorPlus 200 (going to try Gold 200 soon) and Ultramax 400 for a few years now and I almost prefer them to Portra 400. Sometimes perfection is a little too much, I dig the warm vibe (with color Plus), I over expose a stop to get magic.. The other bonus Ultramax is easier to scan than Portra, a least for me on Vuescan.
The more grain the better
Kodak Gold is a very good film for the prove you pay with results comparable to higher end films in my experiences.
Hey there, I just bought a 16mm FIlmo 70 DA and I've had a hard time finding information about it. Could you make a video covering the history of the FIlmo or just a video about FIlmo cameras?
Although the film has the name GOLD but does it contain any gold ingredients in it?
Great video. Only complaint is that the cuts are too noticeable.
Good vid man. I still gotta try some of that colorplus.
Have you done a review of AGFA vitsa 200? It was some of the first films I used, they used to well it in pound land. I would use it in an Olympus XA-2.
Next to me: my Canon AE1 loaded with Gold 200 🤯
BTW: Here in Germany Kodak Gold is rare as real Gold, can't buy it anywhere at the moment 😅
Ich klapper einfach alle Dms und Rossmans in meiner Gegend ab. Ein Laden hat immer welche.
@@miracleyacht__1538 ich war in einigen 🙈 auch bei Fotoimpex oder Safelight gab's nichts :( vielleicht hab' ich bals wieder Glück. Hab' mir erst mal Superia bestellt 😬
@@mistermars1479 in Berlin ist es auch bestimmt schwer. Da wo ich wohne, checken die immer nach ob der Film nicht schon abgelaufen ist, weil niemand da film kauft.
Ich hab alles abgesucht. Hab im rossmann noch 6 gesehen. Alle gekauft
There is NO way you just posted this as I JUST watched your review on colorplus and ultramax wondering when would come the Kodak gold video. Just no way
Too bad that Kodak couldn't make into the digital era, would be interesting see what could they done with their extensive experience in photography
You have to try Kodak Proimage 100 next. People said it's like a mix of Portra and Ektar.
Classically Fuji's stuff had a cool cast with beautiful blues. I'm wondering if this happened with the prints we made and the negatives had these odd casts.
The colours in colour films really depend on the scanning... do you have a way to be sure you are getting the proper colour and white balance from the scan?
Love it
Has covid effected film production? it use to be so abundant and easy to find every year except this year
Gold 3x24 at Walmart Canada = $13!!!!
Can you try Portra 800
Why didnt you do "the thing" when you said "This is Analog Resurgence"??? :(
Lovely ::)
Gold and (more so) UltraMax are my go to films. I've tried Superia and C200 but the greens in the film are just too disgusting to me. Because of this, I'm afraid to try Velvia, Provia, and Pro400H.
Around the time that Kodak Gold first came out, Kodak color film stopped being inherently raciest. Yes, that was a thing and an interesting story to look up. For decades Kodak didn't calibrate their film to accurately reproduce darker skin tones. Businesses using Kodak film to take pictures to advertise their chocolate or wooden furniture weren't happy with Kodak either.
I believe I saw that on vox channel. But I distinctly recall that video.
Not true, especially the vox video that is on yt got a lot of things wrong
In my opinion, the Gold 200 blows the UltraMax 400 and the Color Plus 200 out of the water.
In poland Its nowhere to be found. Sad
We’re you located? I bought it in Lodz on multiple times
who is still producing film?
didn't something happen recently with the kodac brand?
Film can be bought from people like Kodak, Ilford, Fuji, lomography, and Film Photography Project to name a few!
Prefer the Fuji Stock. Surprised Kodak film exists.
Honestly love Kodak gold!
We are a group of film lovers in nyc, check out our channel for nyc photo walks 🤗🏙
Too expensive these days for a consumer film
Ultramax is way better, from any point of view than gold and colorplus!!!
People just starting out with film should bear in mind that although a point-and-shoot camera is great for early learning, it will probably be a very short time before you will want at least a bridge camera, which is like an SLR in many ways but features a fixed lens. Bridge cameras are cheaper than SLRs but they allow you to use filters, and if you’re like me when I was a kid in the 1970s just learning photography, the very moment you notice what a yellow filter can do for black-and-white film on a sunny day, or what a polarizing filter can do for color film on a sunny day, you will not be satisfied with the limitations of a point-and-shoot.
if people keep buying film,it's not going to die.But in future,something must change.
1.The film technology must change,however it looks like that the case won't happen since all development is focusing on digital sensor.
2.The film case should be made by something cheaper like cellulose for economic.
Dont talk to me when you dont push your Kodak Gold to 1600.
Honestly my favorite color film right now.
