Cool old school effects

Sorry I missed your 50th live, but just watched it! Great show as always, can't wait for your re-start!!

Hi Hope to catch you again will re-watch soon

Didn't they use a similar technique in film projectors way back? It's quite impressive. Cheers for that Ben.

this is how hi-res camera scan is made. Black and white camera has higher resolution, so it snaps RGB separate photos and composes one image.

If I recall correctly this was pioneered by a scientist in the former Russian empire that used this technique to take a bunch of photos in the early 1900s

Also I love the fact that you've been on this platform for 18 years, and chasing your dreams. And you made some good short films and good art❤❤

Oh yeah, that AI generated man definitely sets up cameras

Nice! I have been using the Single 8 LossauPan from Click & Surr since they started fabricating it, I happend to come across it on Instagram by coincidence. Lucky!

lomo tank is on my bucket list, only problem is finding one in Australia Given the crap going on in Ukraine at the moment, I can only hope it will actually arrive if I buy on ebay

Nicely done sir!

Hey Ben, as you're loading the cartridge yourself anyway, if you had the patience you could find a Lomo slitter or similar and slit the Fomopan DS8 yourself. It takes a bit of practice knowing which way to roll the film in the dark (must be B-wind for loading in the cartridge) but easy enough once you've done it a few times. You can get a roll of Fomapan DS8 for about £20.

Ecn2 Is wrong with these films

Hi Ben - thanks very much for this very insightful. I did think about the 50/50 bleach not bleach experiment but somehow I discarded it - I managed to get fully controlled bleaching a 50/50 and a fully bi-image by drying after developing and applying good quality sticky tape into the film - long story short film on the tape does not go through reversal - interestingly enough, if one keeps the tape until the end even there's floating xtra silver and is alvo very glowy! made a film with it hope I could share it with you

If you spinned the filter card at 360 RPM (18 FPS / 3 colors/s * 60 s/min), then you’d effectively have color with a 6 FPS flicker.

That must really stink when you burn it

Always entertaining...thanks Ben.

Thanks Ben, I didn't know that there was anything interesting in the world of film cameras. A head-mounted stabilizer is a necessary thing, when I shoot video with a digital camera, I rest my forehead against the flash)))

Sorry I missed the livestream but I fell asleep after a big lunch. I'll be there next time

back on track!!!

cool. funally found this back....aah the early days of youtube...

This is the greatest video ever made!

I love tipsy Ben yelling at sober Ben...ha ha!

I am 51 lol 😂 I was playing when it first came out.

I hope you do the Minolta XL-601. Great little camera. Thanks for this in depth review of the R10.

Wallaby ??? ... You move to Aussie land mate ???

I have check out some of my uncles old super 8 and 8mm films he made in mid 60s to late 70s and was interested how he managed to insert captions and titles over already exposed film. Without destroying rest of the film. Was this only possible on very expensive Cameras ? Must of been some clever way of rewinding film to double exposure? Some of the results tho look a bit amateurish. But you considering how many years ago they was made I think they look great compare to modern computer technology. Titles on video film

I missed you show live tonight but have watch most of your old shows from the years and so please to hear your back again I found your shows very informative and interesting so much so that I have started looking into using super 8 cameras and projectors as I had a small collection from the 60/70s that was my uncles collection but I never really explore film only video cameras. So it’s nice to get your throughts knowledge of old retro tech that I never learnt about the 1st time around. Keep up the great work.

Mike at Filmboy24 tells how he reloads them

Sorry, I was 20 minutes late. Fantastic show, as always, Ben!

this is awesome. Was about to only choose a 1 stop push, but thinking I'll now do 2. Meter was showing at its lowest so feeling like it'd be wiser to push it than risk not doing so..

Hi Ben, thanks but it's already sold. I do have 3 out of date super 8 films to sell at a good price but with postage from France on top however..

This looks really good. Be interested to see it on rough ground

The amount of thiosulfate in onion is much too low to have significant fixing action, even if you were to use pure onion juice (not diluted into water as with onion broth). Salt water was the first fixer, and yes, it's extremely slow. Other very effective fixers are sodium thyocyanate (NaSCN) and sodium cyanide (NaCN2); these are both extremely rapid working, though sodium cyanide will also bleach your developed silver if left too long, and is hazardous to handle because it evolves prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) if it contacts any acid (like stop bath!). It's possible to make a fixer from ammonium thiosulfate and potassium thiocyanate that fully fixes even tabular grain films like T-Max or Delta in under a minute -- but thiocyanate is much harder to source than commercial fixer and also doesn't like acidic solutions.

Hi Ben. Do you know anyone who might be interested in buying a Canon 514XL. Original boxed with instructions manual. Cheers Grace

Hello. Your frame is half black and damaged on right side for this reason: load up your film with sprocket hole down side in the spiral.

Hello. Pay attention: It should be better place film with sprocket holes down side to avoid spiral damages exposed parts of film.

I have one of these. The drive battery and light meter battery are missing :( Kinda hard to find the parts online

I got one of these the other day & it keeps showing me an error/trouble sign (similar to an eject button) - do you know what might be causing this? Thanks! Great video :)

Hi what film stock did you use for this? :) so cool

Bless you!

A coop photo lab opened up in my town. I happen to own coolscan 5000 and just found a mid 60's rangefinder in a family box. Time try the fresh brewed arts of caffenol. With my uni degrees in physics and chemistry I should be able to figure it out.

This channel is my catnip.

So basically, you do a double exposure? I need to look up these “reloadable cartridges.”

at 26:00 the aperture index (black triangle) will point in the red zone if underexposed and if overexposed points in the red zone after f45 (far right) - very useful for some of us who are not experts

Slides are always more fascinating than just printed photographs, perhaps because they are viewed in the dark, penetrating the space where it was photographed

I shot some in a jazz club last year, and have continued with FPP 200ASA B&W negative film. No matter how many "filters" you apply, nothing else looks quite like taking a clockwork 8mm camera into a gig and shooting on B&W film.

What is the bleach time ? 3 minutes or 6?

Firstly, it's great to be in this world again after halting my binge of the first three episodes. Tiana's photography is the best yet, however, it could be because of the amount of time spent in locations that have leading lines. Out in the open spaces is always tough in terms of creating depth and pleasing composition. The characters needed something more to chew on, at least if I were to compare this instalment with the previous ones. It seems a little more aimless than it ought to be. What are your thoughts on 'Cows' now that it's over? Perhaps I need to give it another go?

Hey! Very cool! Could I ask where you bought those firecrackers used to blow up the camera :)
