Coming back to this and seeing you had 500 subscribers just a couple years ago and now well over 165,000 - that's some amazing growth man, you should be really proud of yourself!

[@dereklimwaikit6286]

Hearing you say you just reached 500 subs at this point in time of the video is mental, given that I'm watching it right now at 2023. Your growth has been immense to say the least. Stay true to yourself! Looking forward to your every vid.

[@rosetta-stxned]

I subbed to you right after this video came out. 6 months later I'm watching it again and you've got 25k more subscribers. You deserve it man your videos are amazing.

Great. The listings are now going twice as much because of this video.

Quick! Invest in variochrome!

I was lucky to found your channel , Amazing content informative videos with your unique style, couldn't stop laughing ^^ wish you all the best . keep those videos coming please :D

[@tedsmith_photography]

Dam funny narrative fella. Really liking your videos....you'd suit life in the UK with your amusing sarcasm. The film packaging looks so nice and shiny...they did a fine job of marketing it. But I agree...it doesn't look like it was a great emulsion. I'll not be hunting it down. Keep up the super work chap. Love it.

500 subs at this point?! wow. Here I am years later and hes at 216k and getting a shout out from Peter M. Well deserved!

i would love rollei to make it again but im sitting on 2 rolls of it aka a goldmine so on the other hand i hope they dont

Rollei can’t exactly just go and manufacture more expired Agfa slide now can they

[@billpickle2875]

looks a lot like ektachrome 160a or 320... the film photography project sold a bunch of it for a while. not sure if they still have it but its almost identical they call it retrochrome

[@jasonzecchin4539]

I am modelling my approach to photography off of you.Self deprecation and just rolling with it. Love the channel dude!

[@MyNameIs_Dragon]

I believe i have found a variochrome alternative, if not where the film originated. Its called RetroChrome 320 from FPP

[@nicksucio]

Maybe I missed it in the video but what was your reason for loving this color positive film ?

[@grainydaysss]

Hard to say really, I guess I just love the way it renders a gold cast to everything, I feel like it does it quite uniquely. Though I must say I wasn't a big fan of it at first, it's seen grown on me like a rash

Love your stuff man. Keep it on. Seriously.

[@punisher0025]

Rollei Variochrome or Rollei CR200 (also Wittner Chrome 200D) is expired and repackaged Agfachrome RSX II. I share your same opinion this probably the best color film I have shot (despite its color inaccuracy). I fell in love with it the first time I've shot two 120 rolls at a wedding in Sicily and once I saw the results I completely fell in love with the pictures that I've decided to rethink my gear for my upcoming 3 weeks trip in Japan. So I've ended up shooting 20 rolls of Rollei CR200 in Japan creating the best colour photos I've ever shot.

[@philipbrooks]

Darn, I didn't know this film got this expensive now! I have 5 rolls in my fridge still.

[@grainydaysss]

You sir are sitting on a goldmine

@@grainydaysss You're still not cool. (Just sayin that to keep in with the "before you were cool".) Kinda sick to realise you've got like, 54 times as many followers now than you had in June. Also, thanks. Now there's another out-of-production film I can feel sad about not having. Like there weren't enough of them already. Love your videos, keep up the vibe

[@orestes1984]

Rollei gets their film stock from Agfa. It wouldn't be surprising if it wasn't some kind of out of date Agfa RSX200

[@thedude_-__-_7528]

"But more realistically I'll just keep f#k!ng up" Same Bro. Forgetting to adjust iso when putting in a new roll of film, leaving my light meter on the roof of my car and driving with it sitting up there, forgetting to take the lens cap off on my TLR and shooting a whole roll of film just to realize that I've been taking pictures of nothing, etc.

[@bryanotero123]

Just scroll the roll back. If no light has effect it i think it would still be usible

[@Richardsumilang]

Can you shed a little light on your scanning process? I'm wondering how you get the film borders with your scans. From my understanding, people just scan their film on a flat bed with the borders at a lower resolution and placed into a film tray that eliminates the border but clearer pictures. I've been looking for an easy way to combine both results in one step. Thank you

out of a possible total of 10 baxters, I rate this video at 11/10 baxters.

[@trevisonclark7135]

Is there a Mariochrome?

[@damium5]

I tried the film Last summer, like the tones( even if they are mostly red and yellow) but if I ever find it again I would rate it a 500-640 Iso, because even at 400 its easy to overexpose it. =)

[@Walkercolt1]

Then either your shutter is running extremely slow, your f-stops are out of calibration, or you don't know how to use and exposure meter. Actually, in your case, it may be all three plus you don't have any idea what you are doing....

[@Gregorio416]

Ricky Earp what’s your problem?

[@Walkercolt1]

Learn to use a good hand-held exposure meter, and scan properly and your transparencies will have good exposure and contrast.

[@KestonMoore]

Bro im loving the videos! how do you afford to travel and shoot so much film??

I can confirm it. And I know where they got it. Also in the news is 'Supersense' they have bought old Fuji FP stock and are repackaging it and selling it as a new instant film product for more money than you can actually buy secondhand FP for on ebay????
