Shoot Film: Leica M3 + Fomapan 200

[@j.jonahjameson68]

I'm curious, what do you do with the photos? Has it ever happened that someone has asked you to send them the photos they're in? :)

[@mamiyapress]

Brilliant photograph at 3:27, HCB could not have done better.

[@jacqueslafleche6054]

Agreed. Spectacular images and wonderful composition throughout. I audibly said ‘wow’ a few times while watching this video. Great to see you using the 35mm v1 with goggles! I’m looking at purchasing the same. Do you have any trouble with lens to camera calibration for focus accuracy or any challenge with the viewfinder being darkened or inaccurate focusing over all? All the best!

[@GreenlifeFin]

I love Fomapan. Just shot my first roll with it, the Fomapan 400 and Olympus Trip 35. Loving the contrast too! Some nice shots you got.

[@billpickle2875]

Awesome... i have the leica m2 and a summaron 3.5 35mm and recently just bought fomapan 200. good to see your results. I think the summaron is a decent lens but i think fomapan seemed to like super short dev times like 5 mins max or it get really contrasty.

[@jeanjeanjean4360]

how did you develop the film? what developer and development time if you remember? nice photographs ,thank you!

[@Dagon574]

Hello Eduardo ! What is your experience with this goggled version of the summaron ? In terms of ergonomics.

[@Mimy7etoile]

wow the Leica M3!!! amazing photos!

[@samlbert3380]

I just need an advice on how to avoid scratches on my negatives !!?? i've develloped my first roll on my own today ( thanks to your vid ! ) and i think that i just don't know how to dry a negative propely... any tips or link to an other vid would be amazing !

[@hafiz2664]

Your focusing is both accurate and at lightning speed!

[@dangerpowers123]

How did you find the M3's lack of a light meter? I'm considering an M3 or M6. Not sure I'd want to use sunny 16 all the time or carry a meter....but the M3 does appear to be a fantastic camera.

[@edpavez]

I use the "Light Meter" app on my phone and measure at the beginning. the M6 is a fantastic camera. if you use lenses, go for an M6. if you don't, and you use 50mm, go for the M3. light meters are overrated.

[@jeffirish3402]

Find a Leica MR or MR4 meter (made by Metrawatt.) They at very accurate (and can be restored if needed), fit on to the flash shoe and couple with the shutter speed dial. They are an averaging meter- vs. a spot or matrix, so you may need to adjust you settings based on trickier lighting conditions, but it gives you a good starting point. One advantage for street photography is that you can point it at your subject and get a reading without raising the camera to eye level, make you settings and only raise it to eye level when you're ready to shoot. Plus if the light is fairly consistent you really don't need to change your setting all that much.

[@classic-car-perspective9472]

I have a zorki 4 and love shooting film with it. However I have never seen a true video showing it in action. The zorki 4 could be another camera in the series.

[@edpavez]

sadly, I don't have it, so I can't (for now) make a video about it. :(

[@classic-car-perspective9472]

Not a problem. I have recently found your channel and subscribed. Your videos are much more informative than others. music and camera work flow together perfectly keep up the good work.

[@kyoshinotsuku5845]

Eduardo which bag are you using in the video? it beautiful.

[@ohheysush]

This might be my favourite Shoot Film so far :)

[@maxarosio]

Eduardo, which rangefinder did you advice me to start entering into rangefinder's world? I'm really interested into Rollei 35 but over 100€ euros for the model B35 is too much. Can you advice me same rangefinders under 100€ that are good for start?

[@edpavez]

please note the Rollei 35 is not a rangefinder. also, 100€ for a camera is basically nothing... a good rangefinder will be VERY expensive. if you have less than 100€ you might find a FED2 or FED3; or maaaybe a used Yashica Electro 35!

[@maxarosio]

Thanks EduardoPavezGoye​ I will go looking for the Yashica. - The strangest thing is that a Rollei 35 3.5 ,about 5 mouth ago cost about 60€, now can find one for about 150€ if you are lucky. - I know that a good rangefinders cost more than 200€ but for start I don't want spend so much money for a camera. Thank for the replying.

[@Kref3]

The way I see it, you are not spending any money in cameras at all. You are just blocking some money. You can always sell them after a month or year or decade. And if you buy a good camera, price will usually go up. See the Rollei for 60 then and 150 now.

[@Masimba]

+Massimiliano Arosio also consider the Konica Auto s2, it's very inexpensive with a great lens. If you want a wider lens a Canonet QL17 is a great buy. Good luck!

[@cappybenton]

Wunderbar !! It would have been nice to talk about how you got your camera settings. Did you use a light meter?

[@edpavez]

yes, I use an app called "Light Meter" and then set by memory. you can watch the Hasselblad 500c video made in Mexico, in there I explain it all. :)

[@marvuser1367]

Which lenses doy you have for leica m3?

[@JohnTuesday]

Again - great episode. Still curious about your cologne stay ;) Is the film pushed? How did you measure the light? Cheers from cologne ;)

[@Ange-tc4rm]

excellent music lad! on rythm with the nice portraits, good job, art yes.

[@DonFather]

check out flickr for pushed fomapan samples. I love them for the extra contrast that pushing provides. there are some pretty sick results on there. Don't underestimate what this lesser known film can do.

[@hannamoradi4324]

Shoot Film videos are always so inspiring and beautifully put together. Love that lavalier mic too! Best wishes to you and Fran. xoxo

[@gustavootero]

Muchos fotógrafos de street hacen fotos sin mirar por el objetivo, suelen poner una distancia focal de unos tres metros, usar un gran angular y la luz puesta para la media de la zona donde se harán los disparos, también disparan con la cámara en la espalda o desde abajo con una sola mano a la gente que pasa, podría ser interesante hacer un shot film así, muchas fotos no servirán pero algunas tendrán un ángulo distinto al que solemos hacer, saludos y muy buenos tus trabajos.

[@splootan]

Nice video how did you meter?

[@Kimointhewild]

Awesome video as usual dude, do you know where I can find more of Rodrigo's solo drums music?

[@voyagersquaremuzika]

Please tell me why you do not shoot vertical images also, I notice that you mostly shoot horizontally, by the way very good photos in this video!

[@kcoweb]

Edo, como va?! Pa' que decirte que disfruto cada vez que publicas un nuevo video!! Son un par de bakanes con la Fran. Tengo una consulta, con que expones al usar la M3 o trae exposímetro incorporado?

[@edpavez]

Todo bien por acá. :) Antes de sacar las fotos mido las luces y sombras con una app llamada "Light Meter" en mi teléfono. El resto es memoria y cálculo. En mi video de la Hasselblad 500c en México y de la M3 en Berlín explico esto. Saludos!

[@kcoweb]

Gracias Edo, los revisaré!!

[@Amia67360]

Man, how do you do for your fast focussing ?

[@datadinkusmc001]

Hey, I really like your bag, what bag is that ?

[@edpavez]

I made a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqrNfXqHqJ2EnKc

[@datadinkusmc001]

EduardoPavezGoye thank you sir, love your channel. I shoot an M3 as well and it seemed like a nice bag to try out.

[@mamiyapress]

I watched this video for a second time and the film " Blow-Up " kept coming to mind.

[@jackthehatphoto]

My fav film of all time!

[@nicholasrobledogajardo445]

que hermoso el lugar en donde vives. Debe ser muy tranquilo y agradable estar ahí.

[@ayahtiiv]

i just got my M3 for a while and i'm kind of new manual light setting ,wanna know how u use it without light meter ?

[@vgcamara]

man I REALLY enjoy your videos! and your photos are truly amazing. capturing the beauty of the ordinary. cheers and keep it up!

[@veintequetzales2000]

Ed, me podrías decir específicamente qué es o cual es aquel viewfinder para el 35? porque eso de que no da líneas de 35 me ha hecho dudar sobre comprar un cuerpo M3. lindo vídeo, saludos desde México!!

[@edpavez]

la M3 tiene líneas para 50mm, 90mm y 135mm. el 35mm necesita un adaptador. por lo mismo, existe esta versión de 35mm con "anteojos" (goggled version). no es un viewfinder, es parte del lente. saludos hacia el hermoso México!

[@salembiad2]

Thank you for the great content. I like format of these videos and I like that you include the “fails.” You got some great photos in this session.

[@chynnsuu7605]

how can you get so good exposure without metering

[@winnyjstew]

Chynn Suu practice and you’ll learn different lighting situations

[@Aneoapple]

Did you use Sunny 16 ? 😄

[@Matt-cx5fg]

I really love what Fran and you are doing!

[@mudgie069]

Good to find someone who's used Formapan. Thinking of getting a few rolls to use on my Minolta X500 and X700. Haven't shot film in a while so wanted to find someone's view on the film. Cheers.

[@dxkaiyuan4177]

how did you rewind so perfectly so that the film leader was still out?

[@edpavez]

just practice.

[@louiscourtney3958]

Did you dry your film with a squeegee? There are lots of horizontal scratches.

[@edpavez]

sandpaper. works every time.

[@mamiyapress]

I have said this many times before, use a washed out piece of Chamois leather and wipe down the non emulsion side only.

[@ezekielkokspeaks]

beautiful shots bro, great composition and timing as well. how do u ensure they are all nice n sharp?

[@edpavez]

I just have a lot experience focusing. I shoot wide open as often as possible.

[@ezekielkokspeaks]

EduardoPavezGoye ill try to do that with my f3

[@thalesprotazio]

hey man, i'm here just to say that i began to developing my own film after seeing your videos. So thanks for encouraging people like me with your videos.

[@snedig123]

Thank yoy for another nice video, Ed! The pictures at 3:28 and 5:14 are my favourites I think. Please keep making all your different types of videoes. I will keep watching and enjoying them! :-)

[@ajcgi]

Incredible shots. Really great reel!

[@justcallmesando]

Hey Eduardo, qué opinas del Summaron 35mm 3.5 como primer lente para una primer Leica M2? No me interesa de momento un lente moderno. Me interesa este o el Elmar 35mm 3.5. Gracias.

[@edpavez]

ninguno de los dos, la verdad. junta más dinero y ve por un summicron antiguo.

[@justcallmesando]

@@edpavez muchas gracias por el tip

[@justcallmesando]

Me podrías decir a grandes rasgos por qué? Hay un Summaron 3.5 que encontré en 350 USD limpio y me está tentando mucho. Gracias!

[@justcallmesando]

Ya vi por qué, busqué más info del Summicron... habrá que ahorrar... mucho! Gracias y saludos.

[@rambo8r2]

Pls shoot some color film too.

[@zeledontoto]

I just found your channel, awesome! I really like that you show the pictures that you take during the videos, also your videos look great.

[@NotperMot]

What camera do you use to shoot these videos?

[@christophk.4544]

Is this a early M3 Version with Double Stroke? :) and whats your Meter-Methode?

[@TheGrapefruit11]

yes it is! he mentions this matter in his first video with the m3 i belive. should be #2. also in the same video or one of the first ones (not #1- it was with a metered canon..) he mentions an app for his iphone he uses. you can meter incident or use a spot meter off your hand (which usually provides near mid-grey). i do this and alter exposure accordingly. hope this helps as i am not eduardo hinself lol. sorry for talking in your name eduardo, please correct me if i babbled nonsense.

[@christophk.4544]

Nice thx Michael :D

[@TheGrapefruit11]

+EduardoPavezGoye ha thanks! i just accidentaly stumbled upon your channel, which happened to be just at the start. as i was starting to get into photography mlre seriously back then i soaked up every bit of info :D thanks for answering and i am glad i could provide help to the TO. also eduardo, you inspired me to try film and then since 1month i finaly got an M8 after getting infected with the M4-2 :D and i use it for everything (just as you described in your leica m8 for weddings video) bringing it to a wedding soon! super excited :) have a nice evening - and if i ever come to london i'd love a good coffee and fototalk/walk with one of the most influential fotografers of my (quite short) photografic journey...!

[@christophk.4544]

Since i watched this Channel i want a Film-Leica 😅 or even a Hasselblad (love the Amsterdam Episode with the X-Pan!) to have more between my Polaroid SX-70 and my Nikon D750 😜

[@edpavez]

Michael .Brems oh you'll enjoy every second of that lovely M8. have fun at the wedding. it's terrifying hahaha. sure, hit me up when you are in London. ;)

[@MichaelWilde.pushbikegraddad]

I have shot with Ilford since the 1970's, M2 being my main camera, very interested with shooting Fomopan have you tried the 100

[@edpavez]

Hi Michael. Please see my "30 rolls in 30 days videos". The whole project was done using Fomapan 100.

[@jackthehatphoto]

As a stockist of Fompan film I was also interested in shooting it. I have tried all the Fomapan 100, 200 and 400 versions. They are excellent. I recently rated a roll of the 400 speed film at 1600, developed it in D76 stock and the results were remarkable. Beautiful grain and excellent sharpness.

[@qianlehe9832]

Amazing photos, exposure, and focus!!! I never can make sure all photos of one roll of film can be acceptable. :)

[@ClashwithPresto]

Love your fast paced shooting style! Great video as always

[@BrewsterPgonzales619]

Whats that glass you put on your camera?

[@VishalVoraUK]

Excellent as always. Nice work my dear fellow. Did you up the contrast much as I've found this film a little lacklustre.

[@edpavez]

I added some blacks, because the film itself is quite flat. which I love. I like flat negatives that can be treated in post. looks like I am becoming a Fomapan enthusiast.

[@IainHC1]

Although you like 'flat' images.... It's nice to see that you are adding a little more contrast for us lesser educated viewers ;-)

[@milosrale]

As one of my friends said "It is either very dark or very light". I used a Flexaret IV (120 roll film), developed myself and printed in my home-made lab (on Foma paper). Using the Sunny16 exposure rule - Only the images I managed to nail perfectly looked similar to these shown here. Everything else even tho it had details - it was like my friend said ↑ Here they turned out just fine ☺ , I guess it behaves better when you use adequate developer and developing time. Don't know about the gear, shot some 35mm IlfordXP2 on a Kiev 4, printed them in the darkroom and it turned out perfectly, almost like the scans.

[@dzava]

That may also be because Fomapan is not actually precise to the box speed. The Foma 400 for example is not really ISO 400 - more like 250. The 200 is more like 125 and the Foma 100 somewhere maybe at 64-80. Try it with a proper lightmeter and the results should be better. I tried Foma 100 at ISO 80 in my Pentax Spotmatic and it was quite nice. But when I tried Foma 400 in Olympus OM40 and forgot to change it to lower ISO - the images were too dark. I developed both in Fomadon Excel W27 and used Fomafix P as a fixer

[@phigrecon]

yeeees double stroke rocks! fomapan 200 is a little grey in low contrast light, I would have pushed it a little or extended te development time slightly. Great video though!

[@MichaelWayneChapel]

Still can't beat the feel of a fast 50. I think between the two lens, the 50 still makes the best shots.

[@LexArias]

Entre tanto contenido de "expertos" diciendote que hacer que hay en youtube, siempre es gratificante y motivador observar esta serie de videos... los disfruto mucho... Saludos desde Venezuela

[@jordan.7]

For future videos, can you switch it up and use some color film. Another great video as always.

[@menthol-bonbon1726]

What developer did you use?

[@TehRetroGuy]

That 50mm is why I crave a leica - and the lenses that come with it. Don't get me wrong it was all great! I like the refreshers that trickle out on Instagram in between videos 😁

[@金阁寺的大脸猫]

how did you setup your M3 for street shoot?

[@edpavez]

what do you mean?

[@samlbert3380]

i think he is talking about hyperfocal or zone focusing

[@edpavez]

Sami Albert oh, I don't do that. I use the lenses wide open and focus every shot.

[@samlbert3380]

+EduardoPavezGoye i think it is what he was asking about

[@金阁寺的大脸猫]

How is Street shoot when setting up your M3? sorry! my english is bad

[@deliobartolucci5399]

nice roll bro. I'm going to get mine tomorrow

[@AbdulSalam-ek3vj]

Hey, i notice that everytime you take the picture, you sort of bending down. :)

[@LeoRossonero28]

¡Excelente canal!, hasta hace pocos días lo encontré y debo decir que me ha gustado mucho. La composición en las fotos es genial y las locaciones son el complemento perfecto, además se añade la magia que tienen las cámaras analógicas. Ojalá hicieras un vídeo con una Canon AT-1, con algún Ilford ó Kodak en B/W. ¡Saludos desde Colombia! .

[@DecemberSounds]

For the mother and her child and also for the group of children, did you ask their permission before getting the shot? None of them looked startled by you being so close.

[@yosiasdavis3939]

Siempre es un agrado ver un nuevo shoot film edo! Saludos

[@bwc1976]

I found Waldo! :) Also, I liked the post-processing on these shots better than the earlier videos, the contrast is better.

[@linusbalandat1235]

This was absolutely amazing!!!

[@francisco5434]

I noticed the skies weren't blown out; typically they are in B/W. I had to go back to the beginning to see if you were using filters to bring out the texture of the clouds and darken the sky. It appears you were on at least one of the lenses, but you didn't say what type of filter you used. Appears to be a lite-red filter.

[@edpavez]

No, that was an UV/IR filter because I used that last lens with the Leica M8 that needs an UV/IR filter to turn purples into black. These images were scanned with a flatbed Epson V550 and processed a little bit on Lightroom. Maybe that’s why the skies are not blown. From 2016 onwards I scan with a Pakon F135 that gives results closer to the film directly printed.

[@francisco5434]

EduardoPavezGoye Hey, thanks for the quick response! It never occurred to me that UV could have similar red lens effects on b/w film skies, even though it’s right there in the name. I’ll have to try that. It will help with shutter speed too. Thanks. Great shoot, btw.

[@edpavez]

I honestly don’t think the UV/IR filter will affect the image, but I haven’t run a comparison test! If you do, please share your results. :)

[@francisco5434]

​ @EduardoPavezGoye I recall reading that b/w film is highly sensitive to UV and the sky is awash with it. Our eyes don't detect it at all so we see blue skies, whereas the film is blown out by it, like looking into a flashlight. The UV also has a different focal length to visible light so it doesn't focus on the film plane and creates fuzzy images. Using a UV helps keep images tack sharp and darken the skies. That's why your images fooled me. I could see sky definition and clouds. When I looked back in the video I saw what I thought was a red hue all across the filter and assumed it must be an orange-red or red filter which darken the blue skies. But a UV should have that effect on b/w film. I will test it eventually but it's a heat wave in Las Vegas now, so it will have to wait.

[@ShootStreetTV]

I like the look of the M3 with glasses, hehe... Awesome vid yet again my friend!

[@neilpiper9889]

do not wipe down 35mm. The back of the film can be polished when dry.

[@homaluk]

why do you have so many analog camera?

[@edpavez]

I don't have many. just four, actually: Leica M3, Nishika, X-Pan and Mamiya C330. they are have all different formats.

[@themuddykip]

Absolutely love your videos man! One on how you approach shooting people in the streets would be cool! :)

[@edpavez]

edo esto no tiene nada que ver con el video (que me gustó mucho por cierto) pero por qué odias friends?

[@edpavez]

hahaha. nunca me gustó! no me gustan los personajes, los diálogos son forzados, las actuaciones exageradas, las situaciones completamente armadas para crear conflictos... son como dibujos animados con personas. cuando veo Friends me siento incómodo. no me río nada. me pasa lo mismo con Seinfeld... no me pueden gustar. he visto varios capítulos, pero no hay caso.
