Kodak Ektachrome - Review

[@csorgotom]

When you have had a hard day and you see that both Jason and Caleb uploaded a new video at the same time

[@BadFlashes]

Double dose just for you! 🎉😆

[@KarinMajoka]

Everybody: Do you want to bring your 35mm, medium format or large format camera? Caleb: yes

[@BadFlashes]

100% #truth

[@ShaneDoyleSullivan]

For what's it worth, my girlfriend heard the smooth jazz from this video and it put her in the mood. So...yea uh.. thanks man!

[@BadFlashes]

Out of all the comments I have ever received, and the potential help that I have given… This is the one I’m the most proud of!!! I’m glad I was of some help! 😆

[@riskitdiscs]

Damn she sounds dynamic

[@charliefm826]

$15/roll would be 50 cents/shot not $2?

[@BadFlashes]

Well that’s embarrassing... But like I said I never pass math class 😉

[@marcdennisdelamerced8570]

Seeing Caleb and Jason upload at the same time makes me wanna shoot more film. Cheers!

[@BadFlashes]

That’s our grand plan!

[@palladiumoncarbon]

the blue/magenta/yellow cast that you are talking about at 17:50 depends highly on the pH of color developer pH too low = blue/magenta-red cast pH too high = yellow/green cast the pH of color developer solution can be corrected by the addition of 10% NaOH/H2SO4

[@BadFlashes]

Bro... did you just become my savior?????? So if I use distilled water all would be good ??????

[@palladiumoncarbon]

@@BadFlashes bruh, a l w a y s use distilled/deionized water tap water is shit and can mess everything up

[@BadFlashes]

You know what... those few times I could have been lazy... thus messing everything up! I will never be lazy again

[@JamieMPhoto]

The punch and contrast of those colors make slide film so appealing to me ... and the super fine grain. I really need to shoot these last two rolls of E100 ...

[@BadFlashes]

You got that 120 goodness????? You will totally kill those colors!!!! I’m predicting those images to be 10 out of 10 awesome

[@stephenlloydco]

I always thought the blue skew was intended, like Ektachrome has blue on the box, Ektar as red on the box, etc?

[@BadFlashes]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤩

[@andybeisel8205]

What light meter app is that?

[@BadFlashes]

Lumu … it’s not bad :)

[@marcopeters5219]

Just discovered you through Jason's channel, man you guys are equally funny in a different way!

[@BadFlashes]

Awww yeah. I’m glad you’re here!!! Thanks so much :) I’m glad you like it!!!

[@justinconnaher8868]

I’ve watched this several times. Well done, informative, funny 😆. E100 is something special!

[@BadFlashes]

Aw my! Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked the episode and found it informative :)

[@justinconnaher8868]

@@BadFlashes Right on!

[@Jgp_classic]

On your metering how do you split the difference when measuring for shadows and highlights?

[@BadFlashes]

Basically just expose what is in the middle. Say Shadows read 1/250 and Highlights read 1/1000 ... I’ll shoot at 1/500 .... something like that

[@vimerveilles]

You two are friendship goals. I wish I had a cool film buddy.

[@BadFlashes]

All in good time friend! If you wish it, then they will come!

[@hattree]

Ektachrome is nice, I do wish they had multiple speeds like they used to when it was called Elite Chrome. I'm sorry you weren't around for Kodachrome, it was truly beautiful.

[@BadFlashes]

I totally wish I was there for that too! Would have been pretty!!!! It would totally be nice to have faster speeds of E100! That would be fantastic …. Hear that @kodak 🤣😆😜

[@sacredprovenance]

I was around for Kodachrome. I just was completely unaware of it and that it was discontinued when I started high school.

[@injeolmi6]

Hmm, synced uploads with Jason, huh? That's sick. Nice video as alwaysss!

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks thanks thanks 🙏🏼☺️

[@N556ND]

My Grandpa shot slides almost exclusively. It's one of the few things I need to experience.

[@BadFlashes]

You G-pa know what’s up! You too will harness the power!

[@emeraldsquare]

matrix metering is the key

[@BadFlashes]

That sounds pretty dope!!!

[@sallua2901]

Hi! Hope you’re enjoying your time out there. Can’t wait to see videos on Morocco

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks!!! 🙂 it will be an interesting one lol

[@btrdangerdan2010]

12:09 payphone shot ! Would be nice to get a print of that.

[@DLivingston]

You and Jason have the chemistry like Vuhlandes and Willem have. Seriously meant to make videos together!

[@BadFlashes]

When it’s true love ... it just works haha

[@hb4834]

Great video as always! What light meter phone app are you using? Getting tired of the sunny 16 way of shooting...thx n keep making these videos...

[@BadFlashes]

Lumu on iOS … and thanks :)

[@vergil22kk]

you guys are lucky to have that sunlight, everytime I go to pismo or slo in general its always cloudy and miserable even in summer

[@BadFlashes]

Do a sun dance before leaving... that should help ☺️

[@koltinn]

For me, Ektachrome is too muddy could be due to the scans. I do also see the tint. Best Slide film I shot is either Agda Precisa 100 or Fujifilm Provia 100

[@BadFlashes]

I get that! I’m a fan of Fuji for sure

[@kathreenmirate389]

what light meter app you use? I know it was in one of your videos but I forgot what its called. thanks Caleb!

[@BadFlashes]

Haha all good. It’s lumu :)

[@juliehasen7360]

Yes, I have noticed a blue cast on a lot of my E100 shots. At times, I just forgot that shadows would be extra blue. I sill love it and make sure to always have it in my bag. With exposure I have to prioritize what I want to look better: the film or the scans. It seems like when the film looks perfectly exposed, the scans will be a bit over exposed. I usually expose for the positive film itself to use in art.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh yeah! I totally dig that! E100 is so good... Love it so much! I love how you use the negative as art! Thats amazing 🤩

[@juliehasen7360]

@@BadFlashes It helps that I work at a film lab- not as expensive.

[@BadFlashes]

[@evanisashark1596]

Hey I know it’s been 2 years but what do you use to develop slides? I’ve been wanting to get into it for a while

It’s 2023 now and Ektachrome is $50 for a roll of 36/135 in Australia 😢.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh god. So sorry. 😢

[@WilliamDornbach]

14:32 $15/36 exposures is $0.42 per shot on 135, not $2

[@BadFlashes]

... yep 😳

[@Bussmicke2305]

What is that lightmeter you have?

[@BadFlashes]

Keks

[@Bussmicke2305]

​@@BadFlashesAnd that is?

[@rioszeke]

I’ve definitely had to do color cast correction when scanning ektachrome. Yellow shifts were particularly noticeable.

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah it’s weird. Have you found the reason?

[@rioszeke]

@@BadFlashes I’m honestly not sure. There are a few options. Either: I contaminated my developer, the developer temperature was wrong, I screwed up the ratios when making the batch, I rinsed when I shouldn’t have between chemical baths, or the distilled water I used for mixing was too high in ph. There are a lot of things I could have done. Haven’t narrowed it down yet since I haven’t processed enough E6. Here’s a forum discussing possibilities though, found it it pretty interesting: www.photrio.com/forum/threads/questions-for-people-here-experienced-in-e6-processing-with-a-jobo-processor.37465/print

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah, check out what Aleksander is saying on this video... Ph is where it’s at. At least that makes sense :)

X700 is an excellent camera dude, good for you. I had 3 of those but sold them all. Didn't used them that much so they had to go also I'm not a fan of cameras that depend on electronics/batteries to work.

If only it was that price in the UK haha. It's hard to find in stock and thats at like nearly $30 a roll of 35mm

[@BadFlashes]

I know I know it’s pricy now 😬

[@danieldevine]

@@BadFlashes 😂 just glad my old 645 doesn’t work, else I’d be even worse off! I did find today somewhere in the UK that had gold, colour plus, ultra max below £10 for fuji superia 400 at below £11 for 36exp Portra 400 I found for £16.50 or £77 for a 5 pack. Cinestill 800T for £17 Took literal hours of scouring online but, when you live in Scotland, there ain’t many local places to buy from 😂 still on the hunt for “bargains” on slide film but apart from one place selling pre order on Ektachrome bulk cinema film repackaged, it’s slim pickings. Seen the odd Fuji ones £19-£22 in stock, need to take a £5-7 hit on delivery on most places since they aren’t competitive on the other film I’d want though. Spreadsheet territory when buying these days. I remember when they used to give you colour plus or whatever for free at a supermarket when you got film developed and picked it up. Changed days 🥲 Sub’d and keep up the class videos. Working my way through a bunch of them

Also, when working with the lower range of slide film. Don't forget to bring a fill flash! If your subject is in shadow but your background is light a fill flash is a godsend on slide film!
