Canon 514XL & Kodak Vision 3 500T Super 8 | Will it Overexpose? | Latitude Test | Filmboy24

[@HappyRamos]

i did this this week without knowing that the camera didnt read 500 , but glad to know that the film will be fine ! Thank you for this video !

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

The grain structure of this stock is just absolutely gorgeousssss!! Imagine how awesome it must be to shoot something on it, get it digitized and then projecting it in 4K on a nice silverscreen. That squirrel shot was super cute :D And some really sweet closeups too. This is where things really get interesting on Super 8, when you get a lil bit of Depth if Field. Turned out really nice.

[@Filmboy24]

Thanks, Mike! I couldn't agree more, a well scanned and projected super 8 film gives you a feeling of...well, you get the idea 😅

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

@@Filmboy24 Yeah!! it's like.... FILM, huh? :D

[@Meech320]

Man I just shot during daylight with 500T and assumed it would be super over exposed. Hopefully it turns out great like yours did.

[@Filmboy24]

🤞

[@LinBvtcher]

Do you have a video(s) on how to set the diopter on these things?! I have a 514xl and also an 814 Autozoom and I’ve really been having a hard time understanding how to do this. So many different methods out there. Thanks!

[@Filmboy24]

I did a video on the 514XL a couple years ago and I explain exactly how it's done, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaC4Xnakl6mlh6Msi=-rSnDGt3NnIf51mf&t=380

[@cecildeville6950]

Great video ! 500T does offer so much latitude, thanks for the experiment. I sort of want to do some low light experiments with this stock. Love it Mike !

[@Filmboy24]

Thank you, Cecil!! You're right on, this is such a versatile stock. Kind of an all around go to roll of film.

[@madskdz]

OoOoOo baby 500t! 👌came out great and the zoo looked like fun. happy fathers day as well, im figuring we wont have a livestream but i hope all us dads get to shoot a roll or two this weekend ❤

[@Filmboy24]

Thank you, Lyle!! No livestream this Sunday :)

I have a question - my super 8 camera has both manual and automatic exposure systems. Since I will be shooting 500T and the camera exposes automatically only up until 100/160 ISO film, then this means that the aperture has to be calculated in the lightmeter before shooting. But for this, we can set the ISO to 320 as you said for daylight for example, but all we have left to know is the shutter speed value. My main question then is how do you define the shutter speed when metering? Is there a fixed constant value? What's the value that we should set on the lightmeter, when the camera has a fixed filming speed of 18fps? I will soon collect 500T film soon and am wondering how to get the exposures right. Thanks!!

[@Filmboy24]

I've shot quite a few rolls of 500T in cameras that only properly meter film up to 160 and they always come out fine. I've shot it on auto and overexposed it by a couple stops and it was no big deal. As far as shutter, the 514XL (like most XL cameras) uses a wide shutter angle of 220°. Knowing this, to calculate the shutter speed, divide 360 (full circle) by the shutter angle (220), then multiply that by your frames per second (18). So for a camera with a 220° shutter opening, shooting at 18 FPS, your shutter speed would be 1/29.45 (or 1/30). 24 FPS would be 1/39.27 (or 1/40). If your meter doesn't have these exact values, use the closest. As my general rule of thumb (and it's very general), if you don't know the shutter angle of a camera, double the FPS you're shooting at and start there.

Thanks, Mike!

[@noahmartinez5002]

I have a question. Would 500t work just as well in the 514 xl at night? I'm sure you'd have the normal low aperture, I'm just wondering if the dynamic range might be worse at night. It probably can, you can shoot just about anything on the 514, I shot 50D at night on time and it came out fine.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Then it should definitely work. Just being a little more grainy of course. It will work pretty well with available lights thou. Like lights from advertisements, streetlights, indoor lights and so on.

[@Filmboy24]

Yes, just like Kraftwerk2K6 said, 500T performs well as long as you have decent outdoor lighting at night. I did a video a couple years ago where I walked around my sister's neighborhood, with my family, filming the Christmas lights with 500T. Although I need to re-scan that roll, it came out quite well.

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Great video Mike! Always interesting to see what cameras and films can do! Question: When shooting super 8, how do you balance out the time for each shot, or do you just shoot and not worry to much on the amount of time? I hope that made sense? Thanks for sharing!

[@Filmboy24]

Thanks, Jeffrey!! That's a good question. I guess it really depends on what I'm shooting. Stuff like this is relatively timed out, as I knew I only had one 50' cart for our whole zoo trip. Other things like our kids just playing in the yard or something, will just be shoot until the cart runs out.

[@truefilm6991]

Looking great on my cell phone. Will rewatch on my PC later. The 500T seems to have an incredible latitude. PS, always great seeing your wife and daughter Piper. What about her older sister? Catherine? I trust she is fine.

[@Filmboy24]

Thanks, Christian!! Love the latitude of 500T, pretty unmatched. Yes, Piper's big sister (Katarina) is doing well, she's much, much more camera shy than Piper :)

[@truefilm6991]

@@Filmboy24 oh yeah, the teen years. Very confusing. One needs to figure out everything alone. We didn't communicate much with our parents in fear of not being taken seriously. I'm not a dad, but I wish I was. You are probably doing exactly that: telling her if she wants to talk: great, it will be taken seriously; if not: it's fine all the same.

[@Filmboy24]

@@truefilm6991 Absolutely right! We let her be herself, while supporting her and being there for her, just like we do Piper. We must be doing something right though because as she enters 8th grade, shes yet to earn anything but straight As on every single report card since Kindergarten ☺

[@cubdukat]

Think I’ll be leaving that ND0.9 filter at home from now on…

[@adamsiegfried6098]

Did you have the camera set to auto or did you shoot in manual mode? I’ve shot 500T indoors a few months ago on a Minolta XL-401 in manual mode and it came out well.

[@Filmboy24]

Hey Adam, this was all auto as this particular camera doesn't have manual exposure. I do love my XL-401 though, great little cameras!!

[@gtrplayer1000]

Came out great! I know all too well about film touching during development 🙂. I’ve pretty much decided that any fresh film stock I shoot will be lab processed and only expired or something I don’t care how it comes out will be home processed 🙂.

[@Filmboy24]

The struggle is real 😅 Thanks, Dave!

[@michaelpetersenfilm]

What's the point not using the daylight filter in daylight with a tungsten film?

[@Filmboy24]

Usually there is none but with this roll, I was testing the latitude, so I wanted as much light to hit the film as possible.

[@michaelpetersenfilm]

@@Filmboy24 The simple 514 probably can only read 40 &160 ISO so the film is way overexposed already. Good results but blue cast from tungsten film in daylight had to be fltered away. Surprisingly beautiful film regarding the high ISO, still useable even in daylight.

[@Filmboy24]

@@michaelpetersenfilm The 514 meters daylight film up to ISO 250. Probably overexposed this roll by about 2 stops. I love that there's so much give & take with these new Vision stocks :)

Looking good bud!

But the squirrel...come on!!

[@biscayforex4317]

Why would it overexpose? I wonder why people tend to not read their owners manuals... I assume the 514XL is identical to the 310 XL than can read up to 160D/250T, that would be only 1 stop overexposed which is ok even prefereable with negative. In fact Kodak recommends overexposing it up to 2 stops and that's why they notch the cartidge as daylight to overexpose it 1 stop automatically assuming that professionals will use an external filter and not the old one in the camera. 500T has so much latitude that it can be overexpose incredibly.

[@Filmboy24]

I think it shoots 500T beautifully!!

[@wheels2fun526]

Mike I just sent you an email asking you a question.

[@donjesusmanuel]

Thanks Mike, you did it again! I was notbsure about using 500T with my Canon 814 AZ, but I'll give it a chance! Thanks and keep on. (In the other hand... My wife says that, as far as I'm known, at home, as Europe's best husband since, also, 2004, we should make some kind of competition in order to clear who's really world's best 🤣. She also says she guesses it wouldn't be me 🤣🤣🤣)

Haha, a 2004 showdown!! I love it!! Happy 19 years!!
