PORTRA 400 on THREE Different Cameras - Leica M6, Canon 1v, & Olympus Stylus

[@Mike-vd2qt]

At 67, I was wondering why a 20 year old college student that I know was shooting Portra 400 at Christmas. Now I remember. I also remember wearing boots, Levis jacket with hoodie, and ski cap on job sites out of blue collar necessity. It's nice to see that people still appreciate stuff that works. Now then, where's my old Red Wings, and M3. :-)

[@realbmoredrew]

Did you ever find your M3? :)

[@Mike-vd2qt]

@@realbmoredrew hah, nope, not many of those around.

[@drewsleyy3836]

Those Leica/Voigtlander colors 🤯 man. So good

[@akyerit]

I really appreciate the time you took for each shot and the zoom in as well so that we could really have a chance to properly compare them all. Thats generally my biggest gripe with alot of vs camera/film videos. So thank you for that!

[@d.idowuolutosin4250]

Great video, Eric. I'm gonna take the Canon 1V photos all day, every day. The Leica came in a very close second and the Olympus came in a very distant third when it came to all the shots in general. Lenses are everything and the Canon EF mount lenses for their film cameras were/are par excellence. Of course, I'm being completely subjective based on what I'm seeing. Just followed you and Mike on IG. Keep bringing this type of content. What made it even better is you posted it on my birthday. Happy holidays.

[@Wanderlust]

Very cool comparison

[@StevenSchultz]

Dude, this was SO GOOD. Let's do some medium format work for the next episode?? ;)

[@EricFloberg]

Mamiya 6MF video is for sure dropping in the near future. 😏

[@StevenSchultz]

@@EricFloberg I’ll bring the 645 😎

[@alexanderpopov4691]

Will vote for canon eos 1v. I like skin tone the most of three. Very neutral and clean. Also like how it handled the highlights on the model's face.

[@nelson5871]

i love your videos man ! Great shots 😁

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much!

[@JamieMcEwanOfficial]

Great comparison and awesome lighting as you said! Great shots. That point and shoot is impressive and would be perfect for street photography. Been enjoying your work!

[@LukePollack]

Absolutely loved this! Now I want to take out my SLR again!

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks for watching!

[@geneyoon11]

Omg yes this video was perfection. The ending was too good 😂

[@Adilboukind]

I think the people focus too much on the cameras but it's really the lenses that make the difference. The body makes a difference in digital but not in film

[@EricFloberg]

YUP and experience with each camera

Personally, I think the box speed on the Olympus looks best.

[@delvastudio7687]

Awesome work!

[@KylerSteele]

Loved the canon shots. All of them can do the job so guess it comes down to whatever camera makes you want to go out and shoot!

[@EricFloberg]

Absolutely. I think a ton of people don't realize that until they've actually had hands on experience with a few cameras

[@AlexOnStreets]

Ah this video was very useful for me actually. I have both that Olympus Stylus aka. Mju2 and that same Voigtlander 35f1.4mk2 on my Leica M2. I just never shot portra yet so this tells me a lot. Great flow of the video too. 🤙

[@kellyxiong8476]

Eric you should list some of these locations. Like that second or third location where the picnic tables and hanging lights are. Loving it!

[@brendonleerogers1794]

Olympus looks pretty sweet! May just pick one up

[@MacSalad__]

Lowkey I like the graininess that the Olympus produces

[@MikeFilancPhotography]

That was a fun comparison to watch! You caught some real fire shots in there! It was stressful for me seeing your cameras laying out on the street like that! 😅

[@JTobiason]

I'm excited to hear Mike's folk album when it drops. ;). Great vid dudes.

[@EricFloberg]

bahahaha best comment

[@joeygmc07]

Wow, really loved the voightlander glass look over the 50mm 1.2 I’m impressed

[@dennisvanderben2719]

Daum, the Olympus looks amazing xd

[@SamLucas26]

Dude, shooting film with that 50mm f/1.2 almost fakes a medium format look with that focus falloff and how shallow it is. It looks so dope 👌🏼

[@GabrielBok]

Great video! What happened with your Zeiss 35mm F2 Biogon? And wich do you like more Voightlander or Zeiss?

That Leica M6 is just fire!!

[@MrSodaBelly]

The Olympus killed your other cameras. Having an automatic camera make all the decisions for you isn’t so bad after all lol

[@chevy2die]

Haha I thought the same thing

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

yea, forget learning and educating yourself, just let the camera do it for you. Something a lazy person would say.

[@BackFocus11]

Go M6!!!

[@wenjun_n]

Hmm, the way these different lenses rendered the colour of is pretty interesting. Think the Olympus is the best. If you had a Leica lens, maybe the winner would be different?🤔

[@john_murch]

I've just picked up a Canon 1N, paired it with my L lenses. I was surprised that for the most part, my pictures look fairly similar as those taken with my other cameras and lenses. Thought the Canon lenses would render more differently. Fun to shoot with and experiment though...:)

5:35 is an amazing photograph

Thank you! Honestly, always blown away by what that little Olympus can do. It's freaking awesome.

The camera taking the behind the scenes, did it have a pro mist or something of similar sorts from polar pro or moment

Black Pro Mist 1/8 🤘🏼

[@kennethlee1977]

Is +1 exposure comp the same effect if you shoot a full 1 stop over at box speed?

[@Halofan4001]

Yes it is. There’s literally an exposure comp function on the 1V that this guy neglected to use for some reason. Both function the same but you don’t need to finagle with the ISO.

[@kennethlee1977]

[@AlexPresa]

You really can't replicate Leica colour science. Sheesh.

[@chevy2die]

A lot of the first shots look so grainy, which is weird for portra to be THAT grainy, especially overexposed.

Damn! Great music + Great shots. What more can you ask for? Can you share what the background music in this video?

[@mikegorrell]

Dad can you buy me a film camera for Christmas? 🎄

[@loboptlu]

As soon as you said you let it on dx in one and overexpose on the other 2 the comparison became worthless. I do not doubt your skills at all ,but comparisons have to be made with the same settings as much as possible, here you show off your skills instead of how each camera reacts to the same scenes with the same automatic settings . At least i thought it was a camera comparison not how well you can use them, that is not helping people to find the one most interesting for their style. P.s.: i saw an eos 1n not the 1 v btw. Since the 1v has a better zone and partial metering and better autofocus due to more crosstype af sensors it also shows people who don’t know a wrong image of the 1v making them think they are the same.

[@caldera878]

The cruddy zoom versions of the Olympus Stylus are still commanding ridiculous prices. What a fraud.

[@etanthony1]

Today I learned to overexpose on film.

yessss

[@connorpetersen8325]

Better scans next time please):

[@EricFloberg]

What would you change about these?

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Camera bodies are irrelevant in this comparison as all they do is create a space with no light for the film...The only thing that would make any difference in the outcome of the film are the lenses, provided that all are shot with identical settings. Light transfer thru the lenses to the film is the ONLY factor here.

[@alonwolf4696]

Appreciate the intent, but this video has very little merit. So many variable, especially in the conversion that it’s practically impossible to know what’s the contribution of each camera is to the image quality. I’m also noticing that you are using a standalone light meter. So how are we supposed to tell how the cameras themselves exposed the image based on their light metering capabilities?

[@jimmyrocket02]

Leica all day. I feel like at least half of the canon shots missed focus.

[@stewartweir3425]

What a bizarre video. Portra is Portra and the only variables to how it 'looks' are the lens characteristics, what ISO its rated at, how its scanned and how you edit that scan! It has zero to do with the camera body.. this is basic stuff..
