I’ve looked at this a while ago, think this has pushed me into getting old. Light meter is broken on my film camera.
Great vid, thanks.
I’m so tempted to do like a film photography video every other month but it’s so different that I actually don’t know if that would ever fly.
I actually really did get some great shots even not being super careful and using Phoenix which is notoriously unforgiving.
Real question is are you scuffing yours up haha
@@RhettThompsonFilm oh I think I will scruff it up, looks ace. Yes do some film content, I’m down. Experiment, too niche is a lie 😝
Nice video!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the visit! I enjoyed it!
Great video. I have a question about this light meter. My Canon AE-1 P has a shutter speed limit of 1/1000. Can I limit the meter to not give me a reading above 1/1000 for my suggested shutter speed? I know the meter can read out all the way up to 1/8000 shutter speed but that would be totally out of bounds for my situation. I mostly need this to use the Aperture Priority features since the AE-1 P lacks this mode.
I dont think there is any such feature but I would simply adjust my aperture Value is the shutter ever read of 1/1000 but personally I never or rarely experienced situations reading much about 1/1000, so if it reads as 1/2000 or something Id simply just adjust my aperture to compensate on the light meter then the camera, if that makes sense?
@@RhettThompsonFilm Yes that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply!
@@atomicpuppet both of my cameras have the same limitations if 1/1000 but I found it very natural to work around it for sure. Happy shootin!
After a few weeks using it, the button got stuck and never came back… I opened to check what happened and it’s really poorly made and very fragile. I wrote an email to the company and haven’t got a reply. Now I have a pretty little metal brick.
Send me an email!
I hope you underexpose your photos intentionally, otherwise I'd say this meter is pretty bad at calculating exposure.
Did you comment this again? Can you let me know the images you’re referring to
@@RhettThompsonFilm Almost all of them? The city skyline in the intro has no details at all and the grain is very bad, that's at least 3-4 stops too low. I'm guessing you just didn't have a tripod and couldn't use longer shutter speed, but most pictures in the testing section look underexposed and pushed in the lab.
@@OhFishyFish 3 or 4 stops! You must not shoot much film. 4 stops is basically gonna be pitch black.
I also mention I’m shoot Pheonix which is famously low latitude and of course a skyline with a bright sky is going to be tricky for any meter. I’m glad you could find one example tho. I think the two models shots the electric box and the rest are fine but of course shooting 100-400 speed in the real world you can’t be perfect and shooting a city on a cloudy day after sunset on 200speed film isn’t exactly easy but yea I disagree. Only maybe 2 shots were underexposed and maybe by a stop tops. Thanks for coming by the channel.
