Same - I'm a righty writer/mouser (graphic designer) - but use my cameras with my LEFT eye - never thought about how awkward it always felt until you articulated it. WoW!
I keep doing the math on films like this and the stuff you can get at places like Temu and it just doesn't add up. $5.55 for 10 exposures is $13.32 for 24 exposures and almost $20 for 36 exposures. You can buy Kentmere and and Arista 24 exposure roles for less than $6. Heck, even many Ilford stocks are cheaper. So it might be fun to pick up a roll as an experiment like you did but the economics just don't work to do it more than once.
Yeah, it's actually pricier than normal film. But since I don't cut and spool my own film and don't have the gear to do it, the one nice things about a ten exposure roll is how you can shoot and develop it in a day pretty easily.
Great video about this film! If you want to test the waters with Black & White, this film will do the trick as long as you use it in a good 35mm camera. Now Five Below sells a color film with 10 exposures. One important detail to keep in mind about it is that it is respooled Kodak vision 3 film with the remjet intact. It’s not a film to drop off at a local photofinisher. You can either develop it yourself or send it to a place that develops ECN-2 film
@@SeanAndersonMedia This is no joke, I bought it late last year and the first thing I noticed was the remjet layer on the film. This could be a big problem for anyone who doesn’t know a lot about film buying this and dropping it off at a drug store, and also the packaging doesn’t give any more details about the film in regards to what process it goes in and expiration dates. It’s also possible by now they could’ve changed the film stock used to some consumer grade film but I highly doubt it
The main thing that would make me call it low fidelity is the optic of the camera, but also the way the monobath softened the negative and reduced it's overall detail. I suppose it's pretty subjective, and technically 35mm would be considered hi-fi do to it's resolution.
I think this film could work if your going for a Gothic misty picture. Try a graveyard with a mosleaum and run fog machine. I bet it would shine when faced with the morbid look.
I had a similar issue for a sec but then it fit. I assumed I was doing something wrong while loading it, but I guess it could just be bad production :P
@@SeanAndersonMedia Yeah, I was trying to load it inside a disposable, got all of it on the camera's spool, and then the CANISTER wouldn't fit! My junk 35mm film canisters would fit, but not THIS one. All in the pitch black of the bathroom with the lights turned off and a towel shoved under the door's gap.
Love that you're keeping this alive on your personal channel!
Thanks man!

It's a weird thing for sure! :)

Weird, hadn't heard that about the Vision 3. You're sure this is correct, or are you messing with me? :)

Looks great to me! (As someone who knows nothing.) What makes it low-fidelity?

That would look cool! I have used similar FPP film to create some scary images before: th-cam.com/video/T_Dq6I5yr2M/w-d-xo.html
@@SeanAndersonMedia totally, honestly if you're creative enough, even exspired garbage film stock can be monumental.
Those look great, though!
Thanks, yeah, it helps that the subject matter works with some grain and softness.
The canister didn't even fit in one of my cameras.
