Well now I just need to send you a couple rolls of Lomo 800. 🤩
Matt Day send something my way too! 😁🙌📸📸📸📸 my Hasselblad 500 c/m could use a roll to test haha
the way he leaves his camera on the barrier gives me so much anxiety like what if it falls off
Thought I was the only one
I’m waiting for my RZ67 Pro ii to arrive and I was thinking the same thing
Yo, This the dude you met on 34th st while you were filming on Friday. I told you you’re the reason I’m getting into medium format. I just thought it was cool how this was your next video which actually helps a lot. Thanks again & hopefully see you around again soon
The colours from the lomography were so nice
I agree!!
winner for me
@leicanoct Kodak Ektar 100 and Fuji Velvia 100 come to mind?
i was also surprised. I guet use to see Portra and Fuji 400, it get very boring now.
yup, but also the nicest pictures from this session!
The photo of the flowers and the flag is my favorite. It reminds me of William Eggleston work
Thank you! That’s a nice compliment haha. One of my favorites from the day as well :)
My favorite too
You mean Willem Egglestone
The Lomo film surprised me, and I like the softer shadows of the Fuji. I'm still sold on Portra, but this was a good comparison ... and great photos! I especially like the bicycle shot near the end.
It's a good day when a new Willem Verb video drops
My perspective on the Fujifilm is great for green color and dark skin. I still love my RB67. Nice job 👍
"You don't have to lick the film" 😭 KODAK PLEASE LISTEN
6:42 Those pinks are amazing.
Those expired films were still so good. I shot (probably) expired 35mm film recently and they all have a heavy filter over them, either magenta, cyan or red.
I also would love to pick up a medium format camera some time because they seem so cool (but I don't have the money lol)
i just picked up my first film camera yesterday (besides disposables) and i am beyond excited :,)
hope u have a blast
stoked to hear!! Good luck :))
which camera
2:42 that frame of the man with his bike, the bird on the floor and the van passing would’ve made a great shot imo 😫
Wish you had 3 backs and shot each photo 3 times to see perfectly each characteristics of each film
That Lomo 400 was a surprise. It had a nice punch without over doing it. I think all three had such a distinct look that I could see keeping all three loaded at a time.
You and 3 other youtubers are the reason I bought 4 film cameras within the last 2 months, I was so focused on saving for a expensive digital camera that I forgot about film photography!
So thank you for taking the time and creating content, also for showing up in my recommendations haha
awww man i was waiting for an in-depth comparison of the different films with side by side examples.
wow man might switch to 400h idk
Dude this video was sooo interesting and fun! Those Lomo images were actually super crispy and nice but Portra 400 4 lyfe (preferably pushed)!
Love how quirky your videos are getting. They're super fun and natural looking. Your face dropping the film was such a mood.
6:42 the photo with the flag is fireeeeeee
i could see you doing a whole project "shooting through windows" i know that sounds creepy but the light in those restaurants looked so good!! sick shots.
The restaurant shots were my favorites. Very moody. Next the flag in the window and the pharmacy. Lots of real good images in that outing.
Was this video graded differently? Just something I noticed.
thought the same too, it looked different but great.
I looove the shots taken inside the cafes. The play in light and shadow -- LOVE!! The colors from the Lomo 400 are sooo beautiful!!
Wow great shots Willem! Keep up the awesome videos 🤙🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
I love the Fuji NPH shots! Did you compensate for it being almost two decades over its expiration date by overexposing?
Yes! Two stops :)
@@WillemVerb Awesome, thanks! Found a 5-Pack on eBay and just bought it :)
love the shot @ 3.04min! BTW I like and shoot both the Kodak and the Fuji
Such a lovely frame at 6:42!
Wow. Lomography blew my mind. I never shot it either. Tbh I did not even have it on my radar. Definitely need to try it out. Love it. I just made the first steps with the 400h myself and I love it. Thanks for the comparison video! Great work Willem.
"I feel like there has to be a shot here"
*shoots a photo*
"well I don't know if that was the right one but..."
Very relatable.
Your color grading is so lovely! ♥
I love the way this video is graded! Tutorial please haha
Loving the colours on all of the film stocks, nice comparison and great video
So awesome. Loved this episode. Gotta say that Lomography 400 looks amazing.
I shot quite a bit of lomo 100 for my first rolls as it was a cheap film. Really loved the way it bought out reds and greens, might be a bit much for some people. But I love it
Love 400h for latitude and shadow details.
Fujifilm is often undeservingly overshadowed by Kodak's Portra. There was so many excellent films from Fuji. Glad you tried the NPH. Favourite shot was the red truck.
I would have loved to see your pictures if you did it with 3 different backs. Great shots anyway !!
Just found that crazy work, 35mm C-41 film : th-cam.com/video/pitm2n2CWIY/w-d-xo.html
Young King going off at 6:42.
That Fuji NPH looks great
FINALLY A NEW VIDEOOO
With multiple film backs, I was hoping for some tripod shots of the same subject, only swiping film backs. Then we'd get an A, B, C comparison with the exact same settings, subject.
That is exactly what I would have liked to have seen. Real world, measurable results.
love your video's, i like the fuji the most. The colour is in my opinion the nicest!
Man, you just use that RZ67 with EASE lol
LOVE the new intro you made ❤️
found your videos about a week ago,love your videos,so aesthetically pleasing and content is just top notch,as a beginner this just really inspires me and encourages me to do film,thank you!
I love how I could immediately date this film by the fact there’s a Revel bike behind you
can't wait for the jersey project video
Was feeling pretty darn uncomfortable until your theme tune dropped at 4:05
p.s. I LOVE your content.
Vibes
6:20 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Will :) I wish you'd shot a few portraits to see skin tone comparison
that 3:05 shot is crazy
Great video for comparisons! I really like the look of Lomography but like you said, they are all different! the last roll, that expired NPH is amazing too!
The few times the video shows him taking a light reading, he' not using his incident meter correctly. The scene where he puts the incident dome up against the outside window to read lighting of the interior was particularly humorous. I thought the Porta 400 looked like he was doing his usual of shooting it a full stop over-exposed, but he said not, so go figure.
Nice video... and nice camera. As far as I'm concerned, 400H is more like 100H, I shoot Portra (whatever type of Portra it is) 1 stop over metered for the shadows, and Lomo 400 in low light (for some funky results) but it definitely has a look to its own when you go outside the box. Where'd you go Red Hook? Cobble Hill?
Okay, but in all honesty... once you have scanned all these films so you can put the images online, you could make any one of them look like another, right?... you could make the Fuji warmer, the Portra 400 cooler, the Lomography less saturated, etc., all with nothing beyond the normal adjustments you have to make to convert the negative scans into usable files, right?
Well done! I really have enjoyed seeing the different shots with the film. I like shooting Portra 400 and metering for 200. I got some Ilford 50 in which I’m excited to try out, and have a roll of Cinestill 50 to use as well. I have a roll of Kodak film from 1976 thats ASA32 haha which should be interesting to shoot with.
The production and the quality of this video is amazing. I love how your channel is growing and helping all of us still trying to figure film out
My fauvorite is portra butlomography has amazing colours
I'd love a video just on how you meter. One thing that has always confused me is seeing a small handheld light meter like that used. but the light where you are standing might be radically different than the area where you are pointing your camera 10-15-30-50 feet away. Other than using a much more expensive spot meter, do you tend to use a light meter app (I do)? Do you always meter for the shadows? If not, what is the decision making when metering? Would love to see such a video from you.
the expired Fuji had really interesting tones. it'S always a gamble though ;)
You’re so sweet! Thank you!
2:41
that HAS to be the same intersection from one of the cut scenes in friends!!
In terms of focal lenght, Would the lens you are using be equivalent to a 35mm in APS-C format?
Thanks
I'd like to move into medium format. Probably a MAT124G. My Portra 800 broke off in the back of my camera yesterday without me noticing so it got overexposed when I opened it up. Sad times.
That’s unfortunate 😭
THESE ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL AAAA
Street photo: Fuji 400
Portrait: Must Portra(sounds like portrait right??)
Such a great video 💯 Really cool to see the comparison between the stocks 👌🏻 can really see the difference.
Also, do you ever shoot black and white on medium format? If so what are your thoughts?
please, I love your video man... but it is not "films" you have ROLLS of film of different STOCKS. just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work
I just started shooting medium format myself and I'm still in love with the Portra 400, but I may just try the lomo now!! Great job Willem, keep it up!
Just subbed yesterday. Now this is the quality content i signed up for 👌
idk why negative feedback have more followers than you bro! you are pretty awesome!!
No hay nada más lindo en el mundo que encontrarte a Leo en los videos de Willem ♥️
@@jingweipan7858 bro es que es inspiración JAJJAJAAJJAAJ
I would love to see you take on some medium format slide film! I feel like you could do some serious damage with a roll of Provia 😎
RIP Fuji 400H.
Personally enjoy Ektar 100 a lot.
Could you do a video on rangefiders at some point, just bought one and feel you could offer some great advice:)
This was great
your videos are helpful. what's the cool tune that starts around 4:00? Nevermind....Shazaam got it. Gotta give props to Sarah Illstrumentalist Pullen Park.
Coming in a year later.... the Fuji does it for me. Seems to reflect true coloring... the Porta is just too soft and de-saturated, the Lomography is great if you're going for Instagram or Facebook pix and to punch things up to the max, but for personal satisfaction, give me the Fuji... it seems to give a real world look that I want. Glad I found this video so I know what to buy that will make me happy. Thanks for sharing Mr V!
Can you do a more in depth video about metering?
Why is TH-cam only recommending me videos featuring Pro 400H right now? It's almost like it knows and just hates me.
Nice. Just getting back into medium format (Bronica etrs). Watching you bounce that camera around is a little nerve wracking.
hell yes another video!!
to compare film stocks. i would suggest having multiple film backs and shoot the same comp on every film stocks.
You should try nishika n800 for your upcoming videos!! Like this comment so that willem can see this.
I like Portra 400 a lot for portraits in clear daylight.
can you do a video on your college application portfolio? love your work dude
Yo have you seen or tried that 3d printed medium format camera? Goodman brand I believe. I'm thinking of building one but there's not a ton about it
Do they manufacture an already pre-expired Lomovision film?
Banga @3:03
I think the clear winners for me are Lomography and that expired Fuji
Fuji's product design is totally superior, glad you pointed that out. They take care of the details like the little sticker and how it comes out. I still prefer Kodak film for the photos, but so wish they'd adopt these little modern smart changes.
Portra is the best, great video bro
Do you use the light metre to know what aperture to use?
Sorry to ask what was this video shot on the colors are nice, ik it's also about colorgrading but just wondering
*Top 10 bruh moments:*
Nr. 1 - 7:25
👌
very awesome man
the expired Fuji has DOPE tones! Fuck.
