Phoenix GOT BIG

[@Leandro_Montibeler]

I wish your wife a speedy and healthy recovery.

[@BadFlashes]

no i really appreciate it. It's been a tough journey and all the love and support is warmly accepted. thanks 😊

[@IceBergs]

Been daily driving Phoenix in 35 for the last 6 months and I've learned so much shooting it. It's like slide film at its core. I love the way it looks with flash, all my friends at the lab have been laughing at me for using it so much but it feels like this is a potentially once in a lifetime opportunity to use a limited brand new film stock, so I'm accepting all my results as a Harman the company is accepting it as well. It really is a HARD film stock to use and I love that, from the blown highs to crushed blacks or the wack scanning, It just feels right to use it after the insurmountable amount of time and money that has went into the development. I may be tripping a little but I believe the emulsion material theyre using is very very good, ive shot many many rolls of it and it's a really easily film to handle and ive never seen it scratched really? Love that it's always flat and always has a great surface. I love how it looks in overcast and sometimes i like shooting it at like 20iso. Just bought 5 rolls on B and H to hold me over till labs get it in.

[@MerlinBarkowsky]

Love the stock as well! Do you have some example shots how it looks like with flash?

[@IceBergs]

@@MerlinBarkowsky I do not, I'm planning on saving all of it for a post in the future, however if you look up a channel named the120ist in his video of phoenix 120 he does two different shoots with flash one outdoors and one in a studio as well as a holga. My results are very close to those, the only difference is I usually meter for 50 or 20 iso

[@chrisbarne7458]

@@MerlinBarkowsky I've shot two rolls with flash and it really does have "found these negatives from the 80s in the attic" vibes, it's great. Though one time I calculated the flash for an f/11 shot and then beamed the film at f/1.8 by accident... Oops.

[@coreyriddell1759]

Woah, what are your results like at iso 20? Rating it at about 160, it's still pretty far under exposed for my tastes.

[@IceBergs]

@@coreyriddell1759 yellow very yellow. turns baby poop green yellow with overexposure in 35mm, on 120 it is more purple to my eye. it can be easily color corrected each way. If the light is uniform and even 20 isn't much overexposure, if it's harsh direct uneven light you're blowing your subject goodbye but still can get a useable image with work

[@classic.cameras]

Been seeing this film drop by a few creators here on KZbin. I am glad I waited as I would always rather get Caleb's take on it over some of the others. Your photos of such randomness give us a real understanding of how any film or camera works better then any professional reviewer. Thanks bro.

Bought a mint 645 yesterday. Popped in the battery and ….well it had catastrophic failure. Now I am back to watching your great tube presentations. Thank you for the up beat video.

[@BadFlashes]

I’m so sorry. Hope it gets resolved

[@y2ktube]

"Bought a mint 645" - Uh-oh - Those rather complex medium format ELECTRONIC cameras are failing Left-&-Right. - Electronics AGE (Capacitors go bad and Elect.micro Whiskers form on surface mount components; shorting them out). Better to invest in an ALL MANUAL Hasselblad and a 645 interchangeable back.If a Pano is required, get a Hasselblad SWC with a Pano mask kit for the body & optical finder (MUCH better ZEISS glass & forget about the problematic XPan & TX-1 choices). Plus, with the Hasselblad YOU"LL NEVER LOSE MONEY if you ever want to sell it. - BTW, I'm a camera technician...😎

[@studiothrteen4116]

Thanks for this video! I was hoping they would make this in medium format but after your video I definitely will try to get my hands on some Phoenix. Really appreciate your thoughts on this! Thank ya kindly!

[@BadFlashes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrDeelightful]

The first area you're shooting in looks so much like my area that I'm definitely grabbing a roll of 35mm Phoenix when I pick up my negatives. I've been on the fence but you got some really nice pics with it. Thank you for inspiring me!

These looked great! If you want some great barn pics, I'd recommend going to Cade's Cove in the Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee. During the off season, you can get some pretty great photos without too many people around.

[@BadFlashes]

oh nice! ill have to check it

[@KentTeffeteller]

@@BadFlashes Go into Townsend if you do the Cades Cove/Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. Lots of nice photography there. I've shot bangers of my own there. I live an hour and a half from that area. Also don't miss Look Rock, Clingman's Dome, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I recommend getting a 3 stop soft-edge GND. It will make a huge difference on all your landscapes that have a horizon. It is vital if you use slide film.

[@BadFlashes]

I don’t know if it’s a 3 stop but I do have a Lee system grad, but it’s a bit big for my medium format Mamma Mia … I usually use it for my large format work

Basically the same in terms of DOF as the Takumar 105 2.4 and Canon 50 1.2! They are great fun! That being said I still need to try either the 45 or the 55. Haven't had the chance.

[@Ces1um]

I'm confused. If box speed is 200 then shooting it at 100 is the "pulled by 1 stop shot". So If you shoot it at 100 you're already pulling it one stop and then if your second shot is pushed by one stop and the reference is always to box speed, then you shot it at 400? And then how did you actually compensate for the pushing/pulling if all the shots are on the same roll? Pushing and pulling isn't just changing the iso on your light meter. There is a corresponding compensation in development time or type of developer that has to be done in the darkroom. How did you shorten and lengthen the development time when developing the same roll? What am I missing?

[@BadFlashes]

Hey hey. Check out the show notes and then get back to me with the questions you might have. :) That might help explain

[@randallstewart1224]

You kn ow, vutting the film strip wider and not punching holes in it doesn't make it sharper, less contrasty, reduce the golf ball sized grain, or correct the color imbalances. In short, the 120 looks the same as the 35mm, like shit.

The way you talk about pulling and overexposing is confusing, are you pulling in dev or just overexposing?!

[@BadFlashes]

Oh, Maybe I’m not explaining enough in this particular episode. I’ve done other episodes about pulling and pushing film. In this episode, I’m not pulling, but I am pushing in development. There are a few things I’m doing 1 • overexposing and dev normal 2 • underexposing (rating the film at 400) and pushing it +1 in development 3 • underexposing 2 stops (rating the film at 800) and pushing it +2 in development Hope that helps

[@MrConna6]

@BadFlashes I think I was just getting confused by wording, this makes plenty of sense and is correct terminology, but I usually use pushing and pulling to describe the whole process of shooting and developing the film at another iso
