When 400D hits it hits, but I feel like it's a bit inconsistent in my limited 35mm and 120mm use. Great shots!

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks 😊

[@opticalradiation]

Always enjoy yours and Jason’s videos. Great work keep it up!

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks 👍

In the future if you want to see when the tide goes out they sell tide booklets where you can see how low the tide will be on any given date, the also have tide times listed.

Beautiful work Caleb - and yes I'm late with the T-shirts 😥

[@BadFlashes]

you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) haha no worries ... I also kinda forgot until yesterday 😆

[@thatClarkguy]

Would you or Jason have any use for some 4x5 Polacolor Pro 100 that expired in October of '96? Someone near me is selling some for cheap but I don't have any way to shoot it.

[@BadFlashes]

Never heard of it, but it depends if it’s still good

[@mfchillin]

I've noticed my mamiya 7 sometimes winds the finished rolls a bit too loose, and i get the same light leaks! 9/10 from the top and bottom of the negative, and it all comes down to how much i cranked that lever when finishing off the roll

[@BadFlashes]

Oh that’s good to look out for!

[@IceBergs]

The 35mm Variant (as a mostly medium format user) is really really really good. Personally, I think it's overpriced for what it is, however, every once in awhile it's cool. I maybe shoot it once a month or so. I really like its flexibility in post especially in replicating movie looks as that's something I'm interested in. As for your light leaks, I have also noticed this only in the 120 variant and I believe this comes down to how they're manufacturing it. I've shot quite a few rolls of this stuff in both formats and if you look on the borders of the 400D in 120 you can see similar light leaks as the ones in your images but throughout the roll. Not sure why it's happening either but all my other 120 doesn't do this at all on the borders, so I'm assuming it's like I said how they're stripping or creating the stock.

[@BadFlashes]

120 4 LYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MaxNex]

⁠Hey thinking of traveling to Northern CA and was wondering if you give me the location of the town the boat is in? I would luv to photograph that boat with my GFX 100s. That location looks so Epic! Any how keep up the great work! Even if you don’t give out locations of the subjects, continue the struggle my Man!!!!

[@IceBergs]

I thought we were still hating on cinestill for being shady and threatening people trying to help the film community?

[@BadFlashes]

Not there finest hour but they put out a statement in the matter.

[@eikonise]

On the one hand, no one who uses Apple or Adobe* products has a right to judge anyone shooting Cinestill; in the other hand... I think the statement made things worse--not better. *The platinum standard of evil, Northrup and Boeing look under their beds for Apple and Adobe.

[@BadFlashes]

Everyone is evil haha

[@redsphoto6708]

Awesome shots as always. The 4x5 400D shots sing! I got a box too from the crowdraiser so I am looking forward to shooting it. You are right the best part is the price. Some 4.4Usd/sheet is way better than Portra's 7.5/sheet...now please someone anyone...bring this into 8x10. I'd love to try color 8x10 once in my life and at 28-31Usd/sheet I don't know if I could ever justify Portra

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks so much!!! That’s awesome you got some :)

[@cunninghamster1954]

Caleb, which lens are you usually using on your Mamiya 7? Is it the 80mm or the 65mm? I'm loving those 120 shots on 400D.

[@BadFlashes]

It’s the 80mm :) And thanks

[@BadFlashes]

Sorry. It was the 50mm. My brain slipped.

[@thevoiceman6192]

May the 4th be with you. I will lookinto this film. All your photos in all formats came out nice. I will say. From time to time I see a photographer that has interesting and unique light leaks on their photos. Yours are included. I think they add to the photos. I would personally keep them in if they were my photos and exhibit them in my art shows. Good Job.

[@jw48335]

Cinestill is shady AF suing other small film companies over BS patent claims. Go Lomo 400 - better quality anyway with less halation.

[@BadFlashes]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Ilibu]

I just use Kodak Vision 3 (250D) and develop it differently. I am anyways not the biggest fan of the halations. Thx for the review!

[@BadFlashes]

Sometimes it can be a bit much depending on what you’re going for

[@Shaka1277]

Always love your large format content 😌 I wish 400D's price here could match yours. I know why, but it really isn't a saving here unfortunately. 😢

[@solidus_grim]

[@BadFlashes]

Awwwww thanks 😊

[@VariTimo]

It could be that the camera with the 35mm film has incorrect shutter speeds and thus underexposes a little bit. Or are your 35mm rolls from the release batch or just older than the 4x5 and 120? Because movie stocks don’t age like stills stocks.

[@BadFlashes]

New and fresh.

[@VariTimo]

@@BadFlashes Then wtf? Were they scanned differently?

[@mikejankowski6321]

I too was wondering if the 35 was just a little underexposed by comparison. Even at that, though, the difference in the boat hull and surroundings looked inherent in the film response.

[@BadFlashes]

Scanned the same

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah I could be that the meter in the Ricoh makes it a bit under

[@MrMonsterjamer]

Thanks for the great video! I am not sure...for me these 400D film just looks too "perfect" like...taken with a digital camera or so. I just tried the Vision 3 Film for the first time with Silbersalz35 and i am very looking forward to see the results and maybe change my mind. Well...I did shoot some 800T thought but yeah...didn't just everyone shoot some gas stations from time to time... :D

[@BadFlashes]

I get it ... some films look perfect for sure ... that is what I'm into Phoenix and ultramax

[@MrMonsterjamer]

@@BadFlashes Yes! Ultramax is great! One of my favorites is Wolfen NC500! Get some cheap at the drugstore while visiting germany ;)

[@srt10acrx]

I think using the point and shoot for 35 makes it kind of a useless comparison. You aren't choosing any of the settings so you can't really say that the shadows are worse on 35 if you don't know what settings were used. And the lens is soft. A lot of the 35 shots are not quite in focus which isn't an issue with the film stock but the camera. Still all around I think the comparison between 4x5 and 120 is super interesting.

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah. Thanks why I say in the video that it’s not the best. The original idea for the 35mm cameras was going to be different but I had to pivot on the fly. That’s why the Ricoh happed

@@BadFlashes that was mostly a joke, but it did catch my eye when you said it was called 400D because it is a 400 speed film then made a joke about the D. Their trademark claims may hinge on the idea that the D is not part of a technical description.

I’ve only used 400D in 120 and must admit it isn’t my favorite film. I will freely admit I badly under exposed my first roll and believe me don’t under expose this stuff. Under exposed it is very muddy with a horrible greenish cast to it. My best results have been at ISO 200-320. Right now I’m trying Kodak Vision 3 500T with the remjet still on it and processed in ECN2 chemicals for my 135 cameras. But I rather doubt I’ll be getting anymore CineStill films
