I say it again, you have one of the best channels for darkroom printing (and film photography in general) on KZbin. You don’t just talk about it...you show how to do it. Simply brilliant. Love your work-and thanks for the great instruction.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Appreciate that

[@efdesilva]

The best!!! Period.

[@DM-ti1yk]

great to see someone with the humility not to take themselves too seriously 😉

[@donball9777]

i bought a "Netter" this week waiting for the weather to improve so i can get out on to the Downs to shoot with it.

[@martinhensonphotography]

You cant beat the old folders, love them, another great video Roger

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks 👍

[@Soundbrigade]

Got a Nettar 518/2 (I think) and get 6x9 negatives. Waiting for a film to return from the lab. The fun thing is to load the camera with 135-film - got adapter to fit the film container in the camera.

[@jeffreypetchharrison4363]

an ikon nuttar a nice camera for the mad .. jeff..

[@jamesdecross1035]

Print looks good in the double card mount - great stuff.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks James.

[@dianeswift]

Thanks for introducing me to Zeiss Ikon Nettar. Excellent darkroom tutorial. Great work!

[@BarwickGreen]

That did come out well in the end. I've just been given an orange filter for my Nettar, I hope it will help my sky on sunny days!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Orange is a nice medium filter for sky. Works great with fluffy white clouds and blue sky.

[@stefanosarri1002]

This weekend I shoot a roll with Nettar and developed it on Wednesday. What a quality for a 70 years old lens in a compact and lightweight body!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Amazing aren't they

[@Jim-gr2xc]

Love this channel! Thank you for showing your process start to finish!

[@chevy2die]

Love the addition of the quizzes Rodge. Great video.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Glad you like them!

[@mermatrix]

This is a good start to the weekend. Both my fav Martin and Roger release new videos today back to back while I was working :-) Now need to get back home and watch both!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

He's a good guy Martin is.

[@donyee8970]

Nice shots and nice folder camera. My wife gave me her dad's old Zeiss Super Ikonta IV. Nice and compact cameras and sharp lenses.

[@markhou]

Sorry man but the part where you got lost at the beginning was pretty funny 😂

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

ha ha. I've got bad sense of direction you wouldn't want to be in the Amazon with me!

[@IainHC1]

Once I realised what you meant about FILM and not theme tunes for FILMS..... I got 2 out of 3!!

[@jonnypickles5547]

Thanks a nice video very practical and down to earth! I love my folding Zeiss I have my Grandads from the 30's

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

That is awesome!

[@TangoDJAnthonyCronin]

super and refreshing videos, great information delivered with a light and personable touch, nice touches of detail and makes me miss the darkroom a lot.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Cheers Tango

[@RickMahoney2013]

Roger will you do a video on your photos right out of the camera no magic done please. Thanks Rick

[@efdesilva]

Longtime watcher/follower- first time commenter! Absolutely love your show that it cajoled me back to film shooting again and settingbup my darkroom too! Thabk you sir!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Amazing! Good luck with it Fabie

[@efdesilva]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss omg! You replied! I have shown your youtube channel to my father (who is a artist-painter like me, my wife and my friends!) hahahahaha What I love about you and your show is that YOU ARE NOT CAMERA OR GEAR CENTRIC! You can make brautiful prints out of any camera from Holga to Zeiss Nettar (i have a similar) to pinhole cams to 35mm to RZ67! Love it! It is all about the darkroom and last time I touched these stuffs was back in college in the late 80s! And you totally pulled me back... I hope i can make beautiful prints like you...my inspiration!!!

[@medwynroberts]

Fascinating to see the workflow, thanks. Subbed.

[@apitsios]

Quiz time is dope !

[@lensman5762]

Good show. TMY-2 is the jewel in crown of the current crop of Kodak B&W emulsions. It was already expensive, but after last year's 25% price hike, is just about unaffordable now. It is however. a beautiful emulsion. I like it anywhere from iso 250 ~iso 800 without any apparent loss of quality. It works well with a lot of developers too, D76, T-max, DDX, HC110, X-Tol, and even with Pyro developers. Keep a couple of rolls in your fridge for those special subjects.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Every time I buy stock with my usual channel monthly budget I get to the film page and hover the mouse over the Kodak but Ilford prices are too attractive.

[@lensman5762]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I agree, but the look of the HP5, as alluring as it is, is quite different to TMY-2, and an almost total absence of grain for a fast film is amazing. In the last few weeks, due to lack of energy to get out, I went through some of my older 4X5 negatives of the mid 80s to early 2000, and rescanned them. To my surprise the ones that really stood out and visually made an impact, were all done on Kodak emulsions, mainly Tri X Pan pro 320 and Plus X Pro. I am sure that I had developed them in HC 110 dilution B. On some of them taken in and around Goyt Valley in Peak District, one could almost touch the needles of the distant pine trees and the textural quality was quite tangible. There is a lot to be liked about Kodak but their prices and their lack luster loyalty to analogue photography.

[@richardstollar4291]

a very nice print in the end - great work :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks Richard.

[@JasonRenoux]

Fun has been had during the shoot :) :) Great time watching your videos after a day's work, cheers

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Cheers Jason.

[@dalkapur]

Loved this one, Roger. Quiz was fun (only got 3 though). Bit out of love with my Nettar TBH. Fun camera to use, but too many wasted images on expensive film.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

thats a shame. my slower speeds are touch and go!

[@rgrbrn]

your enthusiasm is amazing! thanks

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks for watching!

[@GeirBakkenVestfold]

Nice video and a beautiful print

[@filmlovephotography]

Love it the quiz time Roger😅, big hug mate 👍

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

ha ha!

[@Resgerr]

Loved the video have to use my Zeiss Ikon cameras and my Voigtlander two!

[@mike747436]

Definately think you chose the right neg to enlarge; very nice image. 👍

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Yes, thanks

[@amiruladli1506]

Awesome vid

[@mrstandfast2212]

How is it possible to get lost on the Isle of Wight? That takes some doing! Keep going until you get wet feet and you can work out where you are. I love Zeiss Ikon folders, even the most basic have great lenses. My results were transformed by buying some period push fit filters. The sky, ( so often washed out on my uncoated lens ) really comes to life. Good to see you eating well. As they say up here in the north, a balanced meal is a pie in each hand.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

A pie in each hand! ha ha. Watching the match

[@jeremykeller211]

I shoot film Leica boss--the magnificent M3 to be precise.

[@TheEPROM9]

I would be in that fort taking photos but then I love millatary histroy.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

cameras were all on me!

[@amosk24]

What a legend!

[@carltanner9065]

You want to be careful, you'll try that again, one day, and the camera will just fly open and the guts will end up on the floor!!! :P I just bought an old Russian Iskra 6x6 off eBay. Looks in really good nick and it's been tested with film. Everything works as it should :D

[@imassimogreco]

Bella ❤️

[@mamiyapress]

Have you tried Martin Henson's invention to adapt contrast filters to folding cameras ?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I have not. I'll have to ask him. Thanks.

[@NasserAlhameli]

Good to see you again with another great vid! Would you please tell me where can I find those paper clips? 19:08 I would appreciate your help

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

They are just plastic clothes pegs.

[@NasserAlhameli]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Do not say! :) loool.. thank you!

[@justyjust]

Good stuff great video.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewcroft2570]

Great video, I'm still a newbie I have some digital cameras and 2 Canon SLR's AV-1 and EF but I'm looking at buying a Zeiss Icon when it comes to light metering can you not get away with using the Sunny 16 rule? Or is it different with medium format cameras? Great picture.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

You'll be fine on the S16 with the Nettar Andrew but you can find some good Light Meter apps for your smart phone. I use AP light Meter for Android.

[@andrewcroft2570]

Thank you @@ShootFilmLikeaBoss

[@milesalilley]

Love your videos. What contrast filter system do you use?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Ilford multi grade

[@mhouel5227]

Hi boss! How do you compose with the nettar since there are no framelines in the viewfinder? Just received mine and can't wait to start using it! Love your channel, awesome content !

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Cheers. It's just a case of getting used to it and pointing it in the right direction. Hit and miss sometimes but great fun

[@mhouel5227]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Thanks for your reply! Guess I will miss more than hit at first ;)

[@RCAvhstape]

I'm not familiar with TMY-2. Is that available in the US? I'll have to look that up. As far as affordable medium format cameras, once you get past the popular big names like Rolleiflex and Hasselblad there are tons of good quality cameras out there at reasonable prices simply because they get overlooked. Minolta made some good TLR cameras, for example; my own favorite is a 1950s Minolta Autocord which I bought cheap and got refurbished, great camera. There are plenty others out there, but with folders you really want to check them out in person first to make sure the bellows hasn't dry rotted and developed light leaks in the folds. I have my grandmother's Agfa folder from the 1930s in good shape and still use it once in a while.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Have a look for Kodak TMAX 400. Thats what it used to be called.

[@RCAvhstape]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Ah, okay, thx.

[@raymondkilminster2194]

when i watch your videos and other peoples i notice they only seem to shot black and white film in the these cameras . do you know if you can use colour film in these cameras as well .

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Yes you can use colour film in them

[@raymondkilminster2194]

thank you that i just bought 4 rolls of Ilford XP2 super but now i might also pick a few colour rolls as well .

[@SergejKarssen]

I have a dumb question. Why do you all call it 'The Downs' when they are obviously up higher than everything else? PS I received the abstract / skatepark prints - looking great as usual!

[@neilmacdonaldfilm]

'Downs' comes from Old English word for Hill.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Hey Sergej. Neil answered that question. I didn't know why either! Glad they arrived safe. Thanks. 👍

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks Neil. I didn't know.

[@chriswilcockson8595]

Accidentally got lost - again!!!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Ha ha I always take wrong turns Chris!! At least I found the Xmas tree farm. Handy to know...

[@maxencelemoine4190]

3/6 not really good... shame on me for missing kodak, acros ! And it's not like I shoot kodak most of the time.

[@actionimagesphotography]

That's not the first time in your videos you've gotten lost............ bread crumbs?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I'm terrible with directions. What happened here is I came to a cross path and no signs. Took the wrong one!
