    Good beginner film stock. I love the way it looks with flash. I've pushed this stock pretty hard in tons of different situations from sub-freezing Indiana blizzards to 110 degree California desert and it can take a beating. Overexposure by a stop or two on this stock is pretty good like you said, but most stocks are that way. After about 2 stops negatives turn white, then after purple. I overexposed a roll once in bright daylight while using flash on a 60th of a second (that's what the sync on the camera I was using at the time) and it produced very different shifts, mostly purple but some green. One of the favorite shots I ever took was on that roll

    probably my favorite film as well and have taken some of my best shots with it, my friend and I call it "Garbage film" since it's so easy to find and on the cheaper side for color film

      @michaelbennettphoto  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    About to try this film for the first. I mostly shoot b&w, the times I shoot colour, it's Kodak Gold 200, but I was disappointed last time I hit the hills in the middle of a thunderstorm, shot a whole roll of Kodak in the middle of some awesome clouds with wild sunlight, and the results came back pastely and subdued. Let's see if this is a bit snappier.

      @@michaelbennettphoto I’d be really curious about your scanning and conversion process too. Because the photos from various film stocks that you showed here had some similar characteristics to my eyes (most notably how darker areas lean into a nice teal - that I haven’t been able to nail with digital photos so far...).

    Hi Michael! I actually shot my first 400 stock at 250 iso accidentally but now that im seeing this mistake was actually a GOOD thing, before I get my film developed would you say to ask the lab to pull -1? Or just leave as is & dev normally as if it was shot at 400? 👀

    • @michaelbennettphoto
      @michaelbennettphoto  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes that was the Canon P! And the cameras are so different. The Canon P is a fully manual rangefinder and the F3 is a pretty advanced SLR. I’ve since sold both cameras, but I’d choose them for different reasons. I’d shoot with the Canon P for day to day shooting and the Nikon F3 for more photo shoots

    It’s too bad about the current prices of film being that so many young photographers are really getting into the magic of film. So many great emulsions have been discontinued, but I’m hoping the companies making film will be coming out with new, cheaper film stocks to help drive this analog resurgence. During the years of my most prolific use of film, a roll only cost about $2 and $3 more for lab processing. The best thing about film is what you create with it using whatever film is around.

    • @michaelbennettphoto
      @michaelbennettphoto  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Wow those prices would make me cry tears of joy haha. And yes I agree, I would love to see more film stock either be created or just remade. More options is always better.

      Check out the article I linked in the description, it compares the two film stocks. Long story short, they are almost the same. There are very small differences, but shooting them side by side would yield pretty similar results.

  • @joshmcdzz6925

    Why shoot film if you don't want the color shift, hue cast, softness and grain? What is the definition of professional grade film? Digital photography is the answer to all you are running away from when it comes to film and that's the reason most of us back in the days left film for digital but now looking back at some images I had in the 90s, 2000s I have come to see why digital is sterile and clinical and what we loved about photography then.. the color cast and the film interpretation of the scene rather than the documentary capabilities of digital which reproduces exactly what the color and scene was.. BTW the term professional grade film only applied back when there wasn't digital and most of them weren't the Portra I see yall rave about these days.. they were mostly slide film from the revered Kodachrome to Velvia, Sensia, Provia, Ektarchrome, Agfachrome CT-X etc...
    TLDR; In summary, my favorite film these days are the cheapest ones - no. 1 this Fujifilm 400, superior X-tra400/200/800, Orwo 500, ProImage100 and the no longer available pro400h ..
