"mildy frustrated" seems like a big understatement, esp since I probably spend about that much on a roll of 36 of Delta 400 (bulk-rolled myself). Truly heinous! Especially if you don't develop your own film, which means it'll cost the same amount probably to get each roll of these dev + scanned despite being 1/2 or 1/3 (closer to 1/4!) of a regular roll...Just bulk roll your own film if you want some shorter rolls (which I can see the use for on occasion).
They are also selling color for the same. It also is really misleading of them to sell only 10 exposures as pretty much no-one sells less than 24 nowadays. So people assume it is at least 24 exp. This really is a scam.
"Includes 1(One) Roll F/8 28mm ... " So, if you'll set something else than F/8 or use lens with non-28mm focal range - the film canister will explode or what will happen?
The best part is the fact the film canister isn't even 35mm spec compliant! Most of my cameras had at least one weird issue with the film not properly seating down. That was REALLY frustrating given I got the film for the SOLE PURPOSE of testing cameras. Also: The camera is god awful. Genuinely WORSE then a used disposable camera that was trashpicked. And your probably thinking "oh, it can't be THAT bad." NO! It is THAT bad!
Is there any labeling on the edge print? From the looks of the images it looks like it's very blue-UV sensitive. Might work better to shoot in sunlight mid day. Could be some old movie industry film but most of the UV sensitive ones are really low iso. Would be cool to see the negative density and edge markings.
@@3313photography I saw another video where they were blank. I think it's a movie film used for recording. The other video showed negatives on a light table and the emulsion was thin. The guy said he processed 5 minutes so this is probably a UV sensitive film that is actually very low iso.
I'm not sure if 12 exposure rolls are made anymore but if they do i dont have anything against them as long as they are appropriately priced and quality film. Personally I prefer 36 exposure rolls.
@@3313photography The reason I asked is you complained about 10 exposures so I thought I woul d ask about 12 exposure rolls. Photowarehouse carries them I believe.
If you're trying to get into film and just want to dip your toe in, either get thrifting, or go out and buy a disposable from Kodak/Fuji. It'll be the same cost for far better (and more!) Pictures
Lmao I saw a yt short of "How to load your five below film" and it was just him throwing the small cannister into a trash bin 😂
I don't blame him 🤣

I wish some photo labs would offer 12-24 exposure hand rolled B&W film.
This looks like Ortho film which is odd. I'm going to have to go buy some. Great video!

Wow, that rustic level grain size.... I can imagine how crazy big that will look in half frame size.
Great video production. And thank you for trying this film out so others don’t have to.

Should at least be 24 exp. I’d return it for sure

Great question! I don't beleive their were any markings on the edges but when I get a chance I'll take a look at my archives!

So how do you feel about 12 exposure rolls?

I gotcha, I don't have an issue with the amount of exposures necessarily, the issue is manly with the price and poor quality of those 10 exposures 😂

Couldn't agree more!
Who is the manufacturer of this film?
I don't remember if the box even had any information as far as where or who it's manufactured by sadly. The box had almost no information on it
@@3313photography What country is the film made in? That will give good clues.
Thats why i just steal them from 5 below
Stealing is a no no
