the light difference depends on the fact that the "T" in Cinestill 800T stands for "tungsten", meaning it's balanced for tungsten light. if the ambient light varies in temp (could be undetectable to the naked eye) then the light or colour tone will look different in the exposed image.

[@germelford6172]

Incredible photos, brother! From both cameras.

[@gottanikoncamera]

The difference in temp between almost identical shots comes down to either your scanner, the way the scan software “reads” the scene, the way the different lenses render or the scan tech’s eye. Film has one set color temp so everything else being equal, the shots should be the same temperature-wise. I’m guessing the scan software is reading each negative slightly differently. Good video!

The 35mm appears to be non-dx coded surely the T3 relies on the DX code. Are you sure that you didn't shoot at 100 iso on the T3.

tbh although the medium format shots contain more information, I think the 35mm images have a better overall mood and are also quite sharp. I think it comes down to personal preference. Great video!

[@DavidMota]

I'ma need to hop by Japan so we can do a Brazil x Japan collab broski. love your vibe and your work

[@GakuLange]

Anytime brotha!

I think the warmth was different between different lighting was because the camera calibrated the 'white' tones according to the light source. So a warmer light source will have a lot less of a blue tint. Love the video btw. Makes me want to shoot Cinestill 800T

[@randallstewart1224]

This comment appears to come from someone who still thinks in terms of "digital". Film cameras do not (cannot) adjust or "calibrate" the the warmth or coolness of the image. That is set by the type of film used, the color of the light source, and in the rare occasion where someone knows the difference and has the filters required, user installed filter(s). Here with two film cameras shooting the same film, of subjects in the same lighting (and no filters), the difference is the film itself. Although both cameras used Cinestill 800T, Cinestill uses some sort of proprietary washing process to remove remjet coatings from Kodak Vision 3 film to generate its products. It's likely that such process has some effect on the film performance, probably not always equally so, leading to color balance differences from batch to batch. While the cameras have different lenses, modern lens coatings will not create the extent of color difference shown here. The other possibility for color difference is, of course, less than well maintained development chemicals and processing (assuming that the 35mm and 120 rolls were processed separately).

@@randallstewart1224 Yeah its been a year. I realised

[@randallstewart1224]

After re-watching this video, I realized that there is another big difference between the 645 and 35mm images which explains much of the apparent difference. This is image enlargement. The T-3 images have to be enlarged 2.8 times to be presented as "the same" in the video. Presuming that both 35mm and 120 film stocks are the same, they both flare the same, suffer halation the same. When the 35mm image is enlarged, all of those defects become far more apparent, appearing as a loss of sharpness, increased halation, and (here) increased flare. The color cast difference ("35mm is warmer.") is clearly the result of different processing chemical maintenance at the two different labs used. Any green tint, most apparent in the shadows, is the result of dye formation errors which occur when Vision 3 film is cross-processed in C-41 chemicals.

[@gottanikoncamera]

I think it came down to how the scan software “read” each frame. Or different scanners. Or different scan techs. Or any combination of the above. :-)

Tutorial 😂ha ha jk dude you make really dope stuff only found your content afew months ago but looking forward to what you make in the future🤙(also just wandering where you get your music from I've tried your link on other vids but don't seem to work) but love your stuff dude super inspiring.

[@patricklevar]

cool video I'm in Osaka cool to see some more English speaking KZbinrs in Japan #keepfilmming

[@caypasha]

hard to judge which camera took "better" photos overall hahaha they both are great, but i guess the bigger negative bc of medium format on the fuji produces more detailed images and i kinda dig that. but the contax has a style of its own as well, cant judge LOL

[@shaodipeng6817]

2 roll film scan by sp3000 or hasselblad ?

[@Klaflare16]

Im new to this. Can you digitally upload these pics or do you have to develop them?

[@RobertVanacore]

what brand is that "death" shirt ?

[@muhammadriyadi8471]

Niceeee ... i like it

[@fisabilillah2487]

What camera do you used to record your tutorials ?

[@GakuLange]

Sony A7iii
