Little bit of info about the Kodak Aerocolour (aka PoPho Luminar 100). It is made for Photogrammetry, a process for pulling 3d information out of a 2d image (like drawing cartography lines and making maps), it does this with a UV absorbing filter on top of the regular film, so when it is developed, you get a regular image, as well as a UV information spectrum (a bit like listening to a song as well as looking at the waveform at the same time). Other companies buy this stock, rip the UV filter out of it and re-sell it for cheap.

I'm not 100% sure since I haven't bought any lately, but I believe that Fuji 200 is repackaged gold 200. I heard they switched back briefly to their old recipe but then switched back again to the repackaged gold. All this to say that, for me (USA), it's a good bit cheaper to get that than actual gold 200. B&H sells the Fuji for about $22 whereas gold is about $30, both in the 3 pack variety mind you

The reason film is still used for medium to high altitude aerial mapping is actually really interesting! From my understanding, the cost to get the digital equipment with similar resolution capabilities needed is actually a whole lot more than the film equipment. This is for two reasons. The first being there’s already a lot of equipment in existence that shoots film, so buying new digital equipment isn’t nearly as cost effective as using already existing equipment. The other reason is that with the low grain of aero chrome, getting a digital sensor with that same resolution is that much more expensive. (I believe that the equipment shoots with the equivalent of medium format or even 4x5, so the resolution will be that much more. I could be wrong on that though.) Take that with a grain of salt though, that’s just what I remember from research I did half a year ago. Really interesting though, considering that us regular photographers spend MORE on film than digital!

For me, (having been in this hobby for 2 years now), bulk loaded fomapan is the winner and I've finished an entire 100ft of fomapan 200. The reason is simple, when bulk loading it is dirt cheap and works absolutely fine providing fine images. (Yes I also develop in rodinal 1+50 and 1+100 for the most part because I am just that cheap). If I want anything a little special I will buy an occasional single roll or two of Ilford ortho 80, Delta, SFX or even Kodak TRI-X if I'm feeling really fancy. But maybe 80% of all I have shot is Fomapan 200. I have also shot 2 rolls of color once, one of FujiColor C200, and one of 2004 expired Extrafilm 200. I don't (yet) develop C41 or print RA4 at home so it is just *so* much more expensive to me. As with B&W I can go all the way from undeveloped film to paper print with just two trips to my darkroom.

Get the right ISO speed for the lighting conditions. Consumer grade film is fine for general photography. Don’t worry about professional film. It isn’t that much better. Especially since if you scan the film you can work it in photoshop or whatever program you use. 100/125 ISO for daylight, 400 for action and lower light and darker days with overcast. 800/1600/3200 for low light conditions. Now you can go with 25-50 ISO for some studio and bright daylight use and for making large prints .

@emotown1
@emotown1 2 ай бұрын
@@thealaris Well, it's pretty self evident really. With a normal film you get reciprocity failure at exposures of a second or more. All that means is that if your light meter suggests an exposure of, say, five seconds, you really need to give it double that to get the right density on your negative. Which can be an advantage if you are deliberately trying for long exposure times - like that classic 'smoky water' effect you get with long exposures of waterfalls. So, with Fuji Acros and a ND 4 filter , f/22, I might only be able to get a max of 5 seconds exposure time without being overexposed. With a different 100 iso film that DOES suffer from RFailure (say, FP4 plus) I could, in similar circumstances do that shot at a ten second exposure without being overexposed. With most astrphotography, OTOH, Fuji Acros is nice because of it's low RFailure. You know , star trails, and all that. It all depends on what you're doing - that's my point really. You don't need to read any articles, just have a think about it. Wasn't ragging on Fuji Acros particularly - I love it! I just love Delta 100 even more, lol.
@thealaris
@thealaris 2 ай бұрын
@@emotown1 Oh, I just rarely shoot long exposure during the day, and when I do I use ND 1000 or higher to get 15min+ exposure, so reciprocity failure was more of an issue in this case, that's why it's always great to hear different point of view, really appreciate that!

@@thealaris ND 1000 ! Yikes! Actually when I said ND 4 , I meant four stops reduction. So I'm guessing you're using what I would call an ND 10 filter. (2 to the power of ten is 1024 i.e. a brightness difference of 1000 is the same as a brightness difference of ten stops). Yeah, I think my ND filter is ND 6 (six stops), and I find with a fast (f/2 or faster) lens I can still compose through it (just) on my 35mm slr. Anyway, 15 mins sounds cool - I've never gone anywhere near that long. Ok, well, nice chatting.

Fuji across II is an incredible film for dynamic range and contrast. And fine sharpness as you pointed out. Cinestill 250XX is another incredible black and white cinematography film with incredible dynamic range. Rollei retro 400S is what it sounds like. High contrast. Great range and looks incredible especially shot through old glass. These three are all contrasty films. Unlike tmax which frankly I find flat and boring Developing c-41 films like portra or cinestill in ECN2 PROCESS gives great saturation. But I also like to overexpose portra 400 by 0.5 to 1 stop. Also gives super saturation. Great video btw (perhaps you can tell I'm not a complete beginner 😅). Kodak gold 200 gives a nice warm retro look in general but lacks dynamic range in the underexposed parts of a shot

Ngl, fully developed film photos are pretty good in quality when shot correctly. It's just the filters and other technological advancements that are made to mimic the effect of a film camera, which makes these photos in the video feel edited. I can not say if he edited, but I can surely say Film Cameras produce pretty great photos for a camera made out of old-school tech.

After watching this I've two thoughts first being I understand the boom of film photography is partly due to people wanting to explore the old tech or in general go back to experience the nostalgia. Second is that the I'm really turned off by the fact that each film stock has a very little difference. I'd much rather shoot in RAW and the post process to make it look what I want (even film like look) even film scans need digital processing in some case (noise reduction as example). So I'm now more skeptical that I was before about film personally. An average person (even the pros) wont to able to tell the difference on the screen if blind test is performed. Oh yes, I haven't even accounted for the fact of managing the hassle of developing film.

Currently practicing loading a scrap roll of film over and over and over so I never get a blank roll again. I think I'll try Kodak color gold next.

Your channel is so calming please dont ever stop. I want to ask, though, how come you use 35mm film, which is small (?) but then you have large photos?

Portra 400 shot at 200 speed, is what I would recommend for beginners. Very forgiving. But yes, it is the more expensive route. I would recommend B/W any day for beginners over colour

Another awesome video! Really informative and helpful for beginners like me. By the way, could you please tell me where did you find the Paterson tank & film developing kit for developing at home? I searched the whole internet but couldn't find

Glad the video could help you! :) Ohh I don't develop at home, only scan, so I don't own a kit.

Looking forward to those pro image photos, given how relatively cheap it is, especially for a 5 pack

Kodak color plus Isa good medium speed film straddling 100 and 400, film is good one stop up or down. But shot at box speed it’s a good compromise between the two. 400 while good in low light loses reciprocity in bright daylight. However 100 speed film can still give you good results if used right in low light. I have always liked Kodak gold. Portra professional film is idiot film. Because it is designed with more latitude so professionals can make mistakes and still get the shot they need. I shot a lot of Ektachrome film. I love it never had problems with the color. Skin tones are good. I never was keen with fujifilm but that’s just me. But I don’t like the blue green colors of Fuji. My favorite B&W film isn’t made anymore. Kodak Plus X. But I use Ilford FP4, which I have a lot of experience with. It is a good film to use. With a lot of latitude. You can push it two stops with no problem. So it’s my go to B&W film of choice. It’s ubiquitous, so getting it it is easy. TMax 100 is my next film I go for. For 400 I would say TriX, HP5 yes there are more films but you get predictable results from them. I recommend the slowest speed film for the shoot. Finer grain and tone. I started out with color. But generally you have to hav a lab developed it for you. Unless you can get a color developing processor. And learn C41 process. But B&W is easy to learn and do.

I shot tons of velvia 50 in 2016 and then Fuji doubled and in some cases tripled the price. 😌

Teo, I'm starting to get into film by request for my wedding couples. I'd like to achieve a very 'paparazzi' like look in black and white as well as a 'luxurious' dreamy look for color. Knowing that little amount of information (lol), which stocks would you recommend for those, respectively?

Great presentation, Teo. I am a digital Leica shooter looking to learn film photography with a Leica. Could you answer a question for me. Do the labs that scan films have the ability to produce RAW/DNG outputs? Or do they produce just JPEGs?
