There is an interesting article on Kodak's website on the production and cinematography on the movie The Lighthouse. It was shot entirely on Eastman Double-X 5222 with a custom cyan filter, emulating the orthochromatic look which caused the sky to blow out and the wrinkles in the actors faces to darken. Great video btw 🙂
A little panchromatic during this pandemic. The root "pan" means all, so all colors of the visible spectrum, and a disease that had spread to all populations
Hey Jason, nice video as usual! Also, my 6x7 has the same issue where it wants to cut off the last frame. The trick is to load the start line a bit early, like have the start arrow maybe an inch before the dot (might need some trial and error to get it perfect)
Your videos always make me smile. That seems simple and cliche, but I mean it. There's always some point in your videos where I find myself grinning at the screen, and this time it was tossing the can of Coors. Stay sane out there.
Looks like a fun trip! I'd have been scared resting my camera on the cliff edge though. I am so clumbsy, I'd be sure to kncok it off like a fool! I used BP once, 2 rolls in 120. Results were OK; a bif flat for my liking even at EI800, but the dam film rolls up like a curly whirly making it so fiddly to scan. So I've not used it since. I wasn't sufficiently blown away by the look to work hard on the scanning so I have not used it again.
Pancro 400 is not available in South Africa 🇿🇦 I waited over a year to get from B&H, and eventually found some at Fotoimpex, Berlin. Apparently stocks were low globally in 2018/9. Glad to see you shot some.
I was shooting this 20 years ago, before they went under. It was repackaged Fomapan at a higher price. Already had Fomapan and Arista-branded Fomapan, didn’t need a 3rd.
Maybe a stop under and a red filter. I usually shoot Tri-X very contrasty but maybe I’ll grab a few rolls of this to mix things up. Got nothing but time these dayzzz.
another masterpiece of a video. your deadpan delivery is so great, 7:00 had me rollin. thanks for giving us something to laugh about during this time. cheers and be safe. give Baxter pets for me plz.
my 6x7 has had the same spacing issues, turns out that it was my fault, i pushed the advance lever too fast, you're supposed to cock the advance lever slow and steady, thats what did the trick for me, the spacing is now even between the shots 🤗
The thing I love most about black and white film is that almost every one on the market has the same 2 lines (or variants of them) for describing the images: "Very fine grain" and "wide latitude". Seriously, almost everything on the market says something like that. haha
New to your channel...enjoyed the banter parts. I dont know if u find this film tends to curl quite a bit when drying (not as bad as acros) which makes for difficultly in scanning..that is why I stick to Ilford HP5 or even Ultrafine 400. Pancro 400 is great in 4x5 processed in PMK Pyro, try that combo and u may become a Pyro-maniac. It is sad that Bergger stopped their 200 film which I only was able to shot a box before they stopped... but wonderful. Good Luck and keep the faith
Totally agree with the peel apart end of film! So much nicer than the licky thing... Too bad Fuji removed it from the Acros 100 II! Oh, and that Bergger is totally a film to try ;-) Thank you!
"151 and play with fireworks", that made me laugh. I haven't heard of 151 since the 1970's and my R&R trip from Vieques to the Bacardi factory in Puerto Rico.
I own the 90mm lens. I was told in an earlier video not to talk to you if I don’t own the 105... here I am dog. In all seriousness- thanks for showing this stock, been wanting to try it. Peace from Bakersfield
If I used Bergger and got the flat images he did, I wouldn't use it either. Bergger seems to demand more development and fixing than most films to yield a normal tonal range. I'm not sure it offers anything worth the trouble to determine its special needs. When first introduced, it was quite expensive, but now it seems to be priced on a par with similar Ilford products.
Haha my Pentax 67 does the exact same thing, I think they are all just getting on a bit eh. I've thought about sending it in for a service, but the cost of losing a frame every roll won't outweigh that for a while. I can't remember which way way round but once i got it to just fit all 10, I think I may have closed the back quite a while before that arrow lined up?
Grainydays, grannydays...I too tried Bergger Pancro, and sort of like it. My impression is it is not as sharp as I prefer. So I've shot my first roll of Rollei RPX 400. The Rollei has very broad mid-tones and is not as grainy as the Bergger, and is sharper. I would not buy Bergger again, Rollei RPX is a buy again - it is said to be good in harsh light.
It was good to see how the Bergger film actually renders without throwing my own money at it to test. I am not sure about this super flat look. Some of the shots have no contrast at all, as if the developer was faulty or exhausted. It would be great to see a follow up video with a +2 push and see if that helps, as you said. Out of the box it looks disappointing to me. HP5+ is a safe bet even though it too renders somewhat flat. ADDENDUM: Just saw this film reviewed on Analog Insights' channel and their images look luscious from this same film. Perhaps something went wrong with the exposures or developing in your tests. Can't write it off as a bad film yet if it is user error. Maybe you need to test and review it again It would be nice to see a review of the Ultrafine Xtreme films on your channel. Both the 100 and the 400 ISO versions.

that backwards cap screams "bro" and "im here to have a good time"
Genuinely the most therapeutic channel on youtube.
Me 4am quarantined in my room: this kid spittin
Thank you for a brief moment of self-isolation sunshine. Great location and I envy the experience. Looking forward to the next one.
my compassion and love has been completely obliterated by those impeccable abs of yours... thank you father jason
all those photographs are like.. kinda , really great and stuff ...i was pleasantly blown away
Love the photos of the hikers on the ridge. Reminds me of the Badlands in SD.

thanks
grainydays on another rainy day while in lockdown makes it a greater day
that final motion/sequence/thingy - damn!
Love your videos. You have all the enthusiasm of a New Jersey construction foreman. That means a lot to me.
Been looking forward to some more uploads from you! Your humour fits so well in these bleak times. Hope you're staying safe and shooting lots!

I'll try it out and report back!
And he never did
@@grainydaysss dissapointing… much like your photos
Absolutely wonderful images. What a great trip.
Awesome as always.
Sit back relax and forget for 10 mins that the apocalypse is going on outside

We had no idea

Grainydays = Cutest thing on TH-cam.
The shot with guys on the ridge....primo!
I bought a roll of this film out of curiosity. Am even more excited to go and shoot some now!
such beautiful B&W film! Thank you for this review, I'm sold to try this one out.
I'm liking these shots. Just wow.
Nice shots. I might try that film. I’ve only shot black and white once using ILFORD HP5 and loved it. Also, sweet hazmat suit lol.
The desert looks so awesome. I want to go one day.......
Your videos always make me smile. That seems simple and cliche, but I mean it. There's always some point in your videos where I find myself grinning at the screen, and this time it was tossing the can of Coors. Stay sane out there.
The Iceland video is single handily getting me though what is bound to be a 4 month quarantine, thank you.
"The Desert Hipsters" I see a movie in the future.

Im liking your style, Subscribed.

Fantastic. Came for the photography, stayed for your joie de vivre 🙂
Jason the only thing keeping us sane in quarantine
Pretty sweet lookin' film bud
Unexpected fat mom joke made me lol. Thank you for your service.
big fan of the kodak tent @5:29
This whole thing made me so happy 👌🏽 Nice work 🤙🏽😊
Great humor. Thanks for the review!
Dude ( Man crush Much ) !!! Great job !!
Looking forward to more wasted film stock with Jason!!!
Am I right that we need a tutorial on how he did the zoom on the final shot?
Pancro sounds like an old medicine for the pancreas lol, but I dig it!
panchromatic...
Good Stuff! Thanks for the vid on this! I just picked up a roll of this and I'm looking forward to shooting it. Be well, Benjamin
Maybe a stop under and a red filter. I usually shoot Tri-X very contrasty but maybe I’ll grab a few rolls of this to mix things up. Got nothing but time these dayzzz.

That campsite was unreal
i need to test this film !

Not sure if anyone has mentioned BUT you look like Eli Tomac the supercross champ... great vids
when this thing is over, you should come up to Vancouver.
"151 and play with fireworks", that made me laugh. I haven't heard of 151 since the 1970's and my R&R trip from Vieques to the Bacardi factory in Puerto Rico.
Seeing the footage flipped horizontally makes me wish Pentax made a right hand grip.
The legend's back
I own the 90mm lens. I was told in an earlier video not to talk to you if I don’t own the 105... here I am dog. In all seriousness- thanks for showing this stock, been wanting to try it. Peace from Bakersfield
I developed a roll of Pancro a while back. It produced some nice results but it took 17 minutes in xtol 1+1....
I really hate that Baxter is missing from your last videos.
It's been hard to come by some Pancro 400. I do enjoy shooting the film!
Oof! That first shot is a BANGER!!🔥
Try pushing to 800 before you go to 1600. I've shot it at both and it gets contrasty very quickly.
But what is life if we can’t make out with park benches??!
hey it's as hard for me to stop, as it is for you
Breaking bad x grainydays
Love it, just love it
man your scanner is 4K quality. it shows every grain of the film!
I didn't expect the jokes, this is what I needed!
I thinks it’s the perfect time to make a video where you shoot an entire roll on Baxter
If I used Bergger and got the flat images he did, I wouldn't use it either. Bergger seems to demand more development and fixing than most films to yield a normal tonal range. I'm not sure it offers anything worth the trouble to determine its special needs. When first introduced, it was quite expensive, but now it seems to be priced on a par with similar Ilford products.
Test fomapan 200, best of the cheap films. Its a hybrid T grain film, totally different than any other cheap film.
UV and IR changed positions now? Woaaaah... far out man.
I'm actually watching this at 4am during a lockdown haha How prescient of you Jason! Haha
Jason saving me from my quarantine boredom.
I had two videos to watch, this one and the newest one by Willem. Came her for the shitty content that I never know why it makes me happy honestly.
Also, pancro is my favorite night film, you should definitely give it a try
1:22 Jason: "anyone watching this at 4 am quarantined in your room"
me : watching this at 3.15 am in my room even though I have to go to work tomorrow
Haha my Pentax 67 does the exact same thing, I think they are all just getting on a bit eh.
I've thought about sending it in for a service, but the cost of losing a frame every roll won't outweigh that for a while.
I can't remember which way way round but once i got it to just fit all 10, I think I may have closed the back quite a while before that arrow lined up?
00:01 how can you start us off with such a banger? I wasn't ready for it
Why every time the video show you shooting, the image is inverted?
Grainydays, grannydays...I too tried Bergger Pancro, and sort of like it. My impression is it is not as sharp as I prefer. So I've shot my first roll of Rollei RPX 400. The Rollei has very broad mid-tones and is not as grainy as the Bergger, and is sharper. I would not buy Bergger again, Rollei RPX is a buy again - it is said to be good in harsh light.
you've definitely become my fav film channel, sorry george
What would I do without Grainydays videos...
Check out the work of Aleksey Myakishev on Instagram, he's shooting with pancro 400 and he's sponsored by Bergger.
Great vid as always! What developper did you use for the Panchro?
would it be possible you show your meter readings and how/what you metered for some of your photos ?
You’re literally talking to me quarantined watching this in my room at 4 AM
151 and fireworks. Man knows his audience.
Remember the chemicals you processed it? I'm trying berPan in rodinal 1+50 not bad at all!
Where is Baxter ???..
Amazing video, can you tell me where this location is?
“See you all in a few months.”
3 months later: welp.
Why lick the sticky but not fold the leader under before doing the sticky? The world may never know.
It was good to see how the Bergger film actually renders without throwing my own money at it to test. I am not sure about this super flat look. Some of the shots have no contrast at all, as if the developer was faulty or exhausted. It would be great to see a follow up video with a +2 push and see if that helps, as you said. Out of the box it looks disappointing to me. HP5+ is a safe bet even though it too renders somewhat flat.
ADDENDUM: Just saw this film reviewed on Analog Insights' channel and their images look luscious from this same film. Perhaps something went wrong with the exposures or developing in your tests. Can't write it off as a bad film yet if it is user error. Maybe you need to test and review it again
It would be nice to see a review of the Ultrafine Xtreme films on your channel. Both the 100 and the 400 ISO versions.
Is the ring you use for focusing is an accessory ? Amazing place.
Legit watching this in my room in quarantine at 2:30am
Where is this available in 20x24?
