Completely biased take here but you've simply put together the best film photography channel out there in both consistency and quality of content. Congrats on the milestone and cheers to more!

[@pushingfilm]

Thanks Alex! too kind 🙂

Congratulations on approaching 60k subscribers, Hashem! I’ve been watching your channel for over a year from the USA and I really enjoy your topics and insight on film photography. I love seeing your photo walk gatherings in Melbourne, and the short interviews of attendees. What a talent pool of creativity you have in Australia. It’s wonderful to see. I’m impressed with your channel growth and look forward to the new things you want to do. I didn’t know about your participation in podcasts so I’m glad you mentioned them! All the best to you and look forward to your new topics in 2025. 🎉

@@anthonys_expired_film Hey Anthony, I appreciate your continued support and engagement! It doesn't go unnoticed 😁

[@declandebarra]

Thank you so much for all the hard work. Absolutely my fave photgraphy channel. Enjoy the F2! The beast that never quits.

[@pushingfilm]

Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂

[@vanandpillai9424]

Thank you so much for the videos. Really grateful to be part of this community, even though I'm based elsewhere :)

[@pushingfilm]

Love to hear it!

[@dillonfraser]

Keep going man! Congrats AND thank you for your support! Much appreciated.

[@mcutler71]

Awesome channel. You are clearly working hard to support film photographers in Australia, but here in LA we also appreciate your emphasis on community.

[@benjaminneoh]

Congrats on all the great milestones for the channel, Hashem. Can't wait to continue to see it grow even more. I was surprised to see my long haired cameo earlier in the video, ha, quite a throwback.

[@jenohogan9254]

Congrats man. You've worked really hard on this channel, your efforts don't go unnoticed. It's been awesome watching your channel grow and you grow as a person.

@@jenohogan9254 Thanks Jen, its been great to have your support over the years!

excited for more live streams! i have notifications on, but something i always appreciate is a bit of warning in the form of a community post or instagram story or something, so that i dont miss it by accident :)

Love your work mate. Stoked for you reaching more subs and growing!

[@pushingfilm]

@@Dan_photo Thanks so much!

[@chopinho65]

You are undoubtedly just killing it right now. I’d expect much more growth. Looking forward to where you take the shop.

[@pushingfilm]

@@chopinho65 very nice of you, thank you! 🙂

Congratulations Hashem! 😎 👏👏👏I am looking forward to watching, your planned future videos. ✌️

Thank you! 😃

Would 100% pick up that leader trimmer if you could stock it, fingers crossed 🤞

@@vestrel2530 Good to know! 🙂

That desk is pretty cool

Ive been selling a lot of gear, so dont tempt me now! Great video!

[@pushingfilm]

@@TripleExposurePhoto Thank you! Haha yeah I try not to buy new gear too often, or make sure to sell stuff also 😅

Would like to see interviews with analog photographers!

+1 on the leader cutter pls

[@michaelwade3074]

Hi Hasham, I recently bought the film killer (cutter) from your website and I was really impressed by the speed of postage and, of course, the cost compared to ordering from overseas. Thank you. I would also be interested in the film trimmer because I bulk load cine film in 35mm cartridges but I have one question about the trimmer you showed: Is the trim length suitable for use in Leica iiif cameras? They need a fairly long length of trimmed (reduced width) to load the film successfully. There is an old trimmer you can find sometimes on eBay and you can also (like I do) just cut the trim with scissors but a reasonably priced trimmer which suited the old Barnack Leica cameras as well as ‘normal’ SLRs would be great. I always really enjoy your videos. Thank you Michael

[@pushingfilm]

Hey, glad to hear! I'm still considering the viability of the trimmer, since it's not cheap. *Edit: I checked and it can do the long leader! You just punch multiple times, moving it up each time. I've never used a Leica iii but imagine that would be important 😁 And thanks, I appreciate the support!

[@jorbin7417]

Excited for more videos on inkjet & darkroom printing🫡

[@Shaka1277]

Veering towards cine film is something I want to do in the next year, too. I've tried home ECN-2 and it's fine, just with a very short lifetime for the chems - easily remedied with some patience :)

[@pushingfilm]

@@Shaka1277 I was curious, do you ever subdivide your kits if they're liquid based?

[@bobdots5974]

Hey @Hashem, love the video and congrats on reaching the 60k subscribers mark. I just wanted to let you know that I am interested in the Rezivot film leader cutter you mentioned - are you likely to be able to carry it in your store? Cheers on a great job with the KZbin channel mate, always entertaining and informative.

[@pushingfilm]

Thanks mate! I'm in contact with them, and now looking into the viability (duties/numbers related) Good to know you're interested though. What are your thoughts on the price? I'm also trying to gauge affordability at their RRP, assuming I can keep it on par with reasonable shipping.

[@GwendalAria]

just subscribed :)

[@tim31415]

It was really surprising to hear the quick reference to an Ilford slide film. They don't seem to be putting much effort into marketing it. Thete is very little info on line and it appears to only be available in the antipodes. 😟

[@pushingfilm]

Yeah its Eastman 5294 (Ektachrome) according to their website (and my own results). I was also surprised it had been out for a while without much marketing.

[@jamescullen3252]

Hi there, would like to see more live chat sessions on your youtube channel. Cheers.

[@petervanorsouw]

Hi Hashem, as you have become more friendly with ILFORD and CR Kennedy, have you thought of selling ILFORD products on line? I'd be a buyer if the price is right. 😊.

[@pushingfilm]

@@petervanorsouw it's something I've been chatting to them about. If I do, I would likely start small (or just with my own favourite/recommended items). Feel free to let me know what you'd like to see, or struggle to find in terms of stock etc 🙂

[@petervanorsouw]

​@pushingfilm Thanks for your response Hashem 👍 I'm glad that you are pushing film. I mix up my own chemistry formulas mainly to make film and paper developers that I purchased from Vanbar years ago. I use HP5 & FP4 usually. It will be great to see just where your journey leads you.

[@nikoladimitrijevic8172]

Doesn't the F3 have an internal light meter? As far as I know, the red led light on the camera body is only for the timer... Sorry for picking this out from a video that mentions much more interesting topics, I just thought it was strange. Good luck in your future work! edit - F3

[@pushingfilm]

Hey. Yeah I was referencing the meter reading itself, not the red light for the timer :-)

[@nikoladimitrijevic8172]

@@pushingfilm Now I understand... sure, that nearly spotmeter isn't by everyone taste. Sorry to cause confusion, just hearing "led light meter" threw me off :) Subed and excited to see your future work!

[@pushingfilm]

@@nikoladimitrijevic8172 no worries! I meant to say "lcd" light meter 😅 F3 is still amazing though and I wouldn't turn one back. Much appreciated!

[@nikoladimitrijevic8172]

@@pushingfilm True, If (more like when) the lcd breaks on mine, I'll need some therapy 😅 All the best!

[@Sylvester414]

I looked at the lead trimmer but decided not to buy due to shipping costs.

Might just want to mention that Ilford Photo / Harman and Ilford Imaging / Ilfocolour are two separate companies

Ok.Hasham, No 1 : why do you look so geeky, compared to how you looked before ..No 2 : Why does everyone on your meet up look like the goofiest people on planet earth...?

[@pushingfilm]

Since your entire comment is only concerned with how people look... show us what you look like, so I have a reference point to respond with.

[@splootan]
