Anyway.. just thought I'd share.

[@BadFlashes]

[@63MacGuy]

Damn that Maymia 645 is sharp. Vericolor III is what we shot for weddings and portraits. I can’t remember the 400 iso film we used. Tri-X and 3200 T-max were the others i shot

[@BadFlashes]

OMG you know how hard it is to find their color images from back in the day. Maybe no one really tagged them but their color was very hard to research.

[@Hans_Holt]

7:14 really nice style of cutting, nice!

[@BadFlashes]

Oh thanks yo!

[@mikejankowski6321]

That picnic table at 16:04, with the roof and the low sun glinting off the posts, would have made a good close-in shot. Your 16:12 capture didn't have the glint and conveys a very different feel. Similar for the next image. Really good, though. The sand at 16:47 and 16:49 looks wild for the colors, I really like them. Reminds me of decorations I had in a fish tank long ago. I like the crispness of the 400 VC on the dunes. Another banger of a post - so many great shots and a lot of atmosphere. Only thing missing was BBQ!

[@BadFlashes]

Hahaha the BBQ was at the beginning 😂

[@BadFlashes]

Who knows what’s real anymore

[@chrisbarne7458]

I've found that when im using flash with my 645, having a left hand grip with a flash mount and a flash cable helps. It's really bulky, but it feels a little more balanced. Also the Pentax 360fgz lets you change the format you're using when you input your settings, so it's easy to use on 35mm, 645 or 67. Cheap on ebay too

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah that totally makes sense. I really need to use my grip more. What???? I go to eBay now

[@chrisbarne7458]

@@BadFlashes good luck! I think there's a second version that has a swivel head but mine is just the normal non-swivel version.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh that’s awesome!!!

[@VariTimo]

The only two Kodak films I know of that haven’t had their emulsion updated are Double-X and Color Plus. The rest received updates over time, most of them around 2007. That’s why Gold is a much nicer and higher end film now than it was in the 90s. It is true that all film manufactures change the ingredients they use because of supply availability and laws they don’t change the look doing it.

[@BadFlashes]

Good to always keep making things better

[@paulurbaniak2242]

I have some rolls of expired Kodak 120 Film lying around. Many TMX, some Portra 100 T and some Portra BW. Now I'm excited to actually try these out, even if they dont turn out super well. But should be an experience. Thank you Caleb, loved your video as always 😚

[@F9FCJ429]

You and Jason’s videos always make me want to head west and get the hell outta Dallas! Expired film…it’s either very good as in screwed up in a good way (usually lower speed C41) or worthless;: the 1982 expired “cold stored” Ektachrome 200 that turned out completely clear. And you can’t compensate for aged transparency film by overexposing it. Because the film dies by going completely clear. Just like what happens if you grossly overexpose it. You can’t win. Well. The box did say transparency. And that film was transparent. Completely transparent.

[@BadFlashes]

TX has so much to offer!!! Go get em

[@SnowmansApartment]

i have been inspired to finally start shooting film thanks to your podcast with Jason. I bought my dream camera last year and wanted to start last year initially, but i injured my back which basically paused my life for a while.. when i wanted to use the camera today, i unfortunately noticed that the shutter speeds are way off.. I paid too much for a camera that i can’t even use, out of enthusiasm =ˋ).. Now im selling old camera gear to hopefully be able to get it cla‘d.. until then i will shoot with an old point and shoot that i found in our basement(the Nikon L35 AF) thanks so much for the videos, they kept my motivation alive while being bedbound for almost a year.. ❤
