Great video and cool bit of local history! Thanks also for including the aperture/shutter speeds - it's always so, so helpful in these film photography videos to include the metering/exposure triangle settings to see how a stock performs in different conditions. I'd classify this video as both travel/art blog and film/camera eval, but it's suprising how many videos exist that are exclusively about a film stock and don't include any of that information. Major kudos! Loved the mailbox and the crane pictures!
I would love to try 50d, I'm always attracted to it in posts and videos online. It looks like it's pretty tricky to colour balance though, seems to be a lot of inconsistency in people's results. I always wondered if the f1.2 aperture lenses were just for the convenience of a brighter viewfinder, but I guess there is a certain quality that only comes with that ultra shallow dof! Hope you keep having fun, love the videos man!
I can see it being tricky to color balance, and I actually had to do a fair amount of manual RGB adjustment during scanning to get the colors correct. But at least there is lots of room in negative to tweak. The film has dynamic range for days! As for the 1.2, it is nice that it makes a brighter viewfinder, but the benefit of being bake to take photos in lower lighting situations has a lot more advantages. I would personally call the ultra shallow dof a bit of a disadvantage, though - especially for a manual focus camera!
@@BrianCWeed that makes sense, adequate exposure does become a challenge quite frequently. Yeah I think 50d looks like a good platform for editing but also has enough of its own distinctive character to be more interesting than more commonly used stocks. Seems like cinema films are well suited to hobbyist photography needs!

Judging by the videography, you have some very talented kids!
They did a great job and I’m really proud of them!
