Nice one Alex! I'm wondering why beer chemically works instead of any other liquid though?? Could you develop using a coke or cider or margarita? hah
@alex-botton Ай бұрын
@@bohdandoval9621 thanks Bohdan! Appreciate it bro. Honestly I’m not sure I need to do some research but it’s something to do with the pH levels - the ash and vid C do most of the work so you probably could use another substrate of some kind. try it and let me know! 😉

I kept testing the beer, but couldn't quite find out if it was good and ran out. Maybe my next roll of expired TriX will get the beer treatment.

Using a developer which includes some beer is ancient news. The idea and a few formulas have been around for 60 years to my knowledge, probably longer. Now if you want something to make a YT video about, drink the beer, then use the resulting piss to developer your film, if you can.

I love this guy's content. Beautifully shot. I have a question- How far can you deviate from this recipe and what results can you expect if you do?
@alex-botton Ай бұрын
@@Bignamestar this recipe is a guide - I wouldn’t deviate too far as developing film is basic chemistry + limiting your variables! But you could always make a weaker developer and dev for longer!

@@alex-botton Ok thank you. I may have missed it in your video but is it something in the beer or would carbonated water work?

I pre-ordered my X100VI on 28th February 2024 and after quite a wait, I collected it on 31st August. Well worth the wait. I have been out and about all over my home city of London getting used to using it. So far I love it. I agree that it fits into a very special niche, and is not for everyone, but it would never do if we all liked the same things, would it. And think of the even longer waiting times! But, I don't know what one of your viewers would think of me, although I think I can guess, as they feel the camera is a waste of money but I have added it to my kit and now own the following: a pre-ordered X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T3, X-T4, X-T5, X-H2 and two Nikon Zfs. I think I have a slight case of GAS. Nice video by the way.
