Just started out with film and NO, I do NOT know "how this works".... Thanks.

No in camera light metering could be a pro because although in some cases it would give you a decent average light reading which would make the shot work, there are definitely some scenes where spot metering enables an accurate light reading of the ambient and incident light in the scene and off the subject. You can't beat a handheld meter for accuracy and consistency if you use it carefully.

this is so inspiring I'm so intrigued by his works. great video!!

cant wait for the next video about the nikon f3 !

I think Zone focus is pretty easy. It's definitely a lot faster than using a rangefinder or an SLR which makes it great for street photography or things far away like the bridges you took photos of. Also I don't think this is a good camera for a beginner at all. Someone suggested something like a Canon EOS which I think would be a good idea if it is capable of shooting automatically or manually. Also $500 seems like a heck of a lot of money for a beginner film photographer. There are tons of better quality cameras out there in the world that could be bought for a 100 or 2. You could even buy an Olympus Pen F or FT that is a really nice camera and an SLR in good working condition for less than $300 I bet. However I think this was a really good video and you did an excellent job of reviewing this camera. I thought the photos that you took were very good. As far as half frame photography goes you definitely had some keepers that's for sure.

Not to mention how smooth that film advance wind action is on the F3. I have a couple of Leica film cameras and the F3 is up there with those in terms of film advance smoothness

They make a waist level finder I own all the F series and the F2 is my favorite no need for batteries to work the camera

Cherish the F3 my friend as with this camera Nikon proved that well designed electronics can and have stood the test of time. The metering pattern is 90% in the centre not 80% someone mentioned, Nikon FE and FM at the time were 80% centre. And that view finder is a thing of beauty. I have lost count of how many different focusing screens were available for the F3 and put the motordrive on and go through a whole roll of film in less than 7 seconds. Scary stuff for a camera that is approaching its 50th birthday.

That's not the waist level viewfinder, that's just the focusing screen with the prism off. The Nikon DW-3 is the F3's actual waist level finder and when attached, the metering will still work correctly. Throw the F3 into aperture priority with a 35mm or 50mm and you'll burn through a roll in a few hours. Also, the metering is 80/20 center weighted. Use that exposure lock for the shadows.

What about running Tri-X or T-Max 400 through the F3? See what you get in terms of grain, exposure, skies. What you're describing sounds independent of the camera though, of course, strict reliance on the F3 meter can lead to exposure problems especially if the meter is a bit whacked.

My pro experience with the Nikon F series from the 1970s-80s is that you can pound fence posts with them. Yes, solid cameras.

About the Black Square of Death. One thing I noticed was using a cable release it doesn't always depress my Mamiya camera far enough. So the camera needs to be advanced but the shutter doesn't open. Get another cable release or try using the camera without one? Just an idea, I found in my case.

As a person that loves film and warch a lot !!! of them in a broad range of types I will have a look at your new born channel but..... Don't say there are no bad films cause let me give you 2 words to prove my right being ...Steven Seagal 😂

I had a Canon T90 and its meter (very good) was also fooled by red filters. Better measure and add the factor later. Thanks for the video!

I used a C330f for weddings and family portraits for over 20 years! When photographing weddings I would switch between a cameras with the 80mm lens and a camera with the 135mm lens for portraits. The 2 cameras I used have over 1 million dollars of weddings thru them. The largest photo I made using the 135mm lens was a 30"x40" it was fine!

yo, the shots are awesome. The film not so much. I just can't stand that sickly blue cast. Which is weird because I think the NC400 is the same as a product labelled 'sunkissed'!!! Your final edited shots remind me a lot of Aerocolour, minus all the grain.

Born in Kansas, I grew up using Dwayne’s Photo among a few other labs closer to or in Wichita for still photos. Movie film was dropped off at one of the 5 or 6 photographic stores in Wichita (all are now gone). The film Kodachrome and documentaries about it and Dwayne’s are favorites of mine for sure.

What 28mm? With his camera tell me? Thanksss a lot for your answer thanksss😊

Thanksss for video❤❤❤😊

Fantastic camera❤❤❤❤😊

Doesnt need the crappy music, cheapens the work.

Here is a small list. I have been shooting since late 80's. These are no particular order. LEE (2024), Minimata (2020), Everybody Street (2013), Hondros (2017), Salvador (1986), Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013), The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), Paparazzi (2004), Photographing Fairies (1997), An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge (1962). The last one was used in an episode of the Twlight Zone and based on a short story by Ambrose Bierce.

Too much talk. More pix!!!!!

Good video! I suggest that beginners find Canon EOS cameras. Super cheap bodies (you can find a pretty standard one for 50 bucks all day long) with a semi decent kit lens, and the EF mount means you can use modern lenses (like the fantastic 40mm pancake lens). I like EOS for beginners because it can start off as a fully auto, nearly point and shoot AF, and then as you step up your skills it has manual options. A Canon EOS, a 40mm pancake and some rolls of Fuji400 or Kentmere and you're all set to shoot in basically any setting.

Great, I would love to see the tests with night photography, I think that if drivers use yellow glasses to see better at night, what would happen if we used the yellow filter at night?

Genial , me encantaría ver las pruebas con fotografía nocturna, pienso que si los conductores usan gafas amarillas para ver mejor en la noche, que pasaría si usamos el filtro amarillo en la noche?

Re-roll the HP5 in the dark room and it's good to go again. The clouds didn't show with the Red 25 filter because you opened the aperture too wide to adjust for +3 stops and in turn blurred the sky. The shot is stationary, so I'd go with a slower shutter speed and leave it at f/11. You'll see the clouds better with more depth of field.

Great photographer, Bikeriders a terrible film...

Thank-you. Great explain. Always liked Neopan and the tone coverage. Using an orange filter would give dramatic results too, I wonder if it would be too much?

I Like your Name, Joshua 🙂

awesome stuff

This is a great video. It helped me make my choice between the Chinon CM-4, and the Ricoh XR-2. The Ricoh ended up winning because of that multiple exposure feature. I got a Pentax 50mm lens to go along with it. I’m looking forward to trying the Ricoh out. Thanks for this review video 🙏

This was so good !

Just so you know emissive IR is not what these films capture. You draw a correlation of thermal imaging and this film. These films only see reflective near infrared light.

I cross process all my slide film. And why would you edit your photos? Color shifts are the draw to cross processing. That's like editing the orange cast out of Harmon phoenix film.

This is a very good explanation for those who are just starting out, but its only a good basic explanation. The fundamantal point to remember is that any colour contrast filter ( Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue or Green ) will allow the light corresponding to the filters colour to pass through, but will block the others, coplimentary ones, depending on the wavelength ( this is why these filters are called Broadband filters in astronomic jargon as opposed to the very tightly controlled Narrowband astronomic filters) . Just take a look at a photographic colour wheel to understand what is going on. The second point is that how compensation is applied to an exposure using a colour filter very much depends on the spectral response of the film, and the ambient colour temperature at the time of shooting. I am not going to go into too much details but not all Panchromatic films respond similarly to the light spectrum. Some have more sensitivity to the Blue light and others are more sensititive to the Red porition of the spectrum, so a little knowledge and understanding of the medium is required. This is why film photography is so much fun and satisfying because a photographer has to apply knowledge and a bit of science to the craft as opposed to the mindless computer driven fiasco that is digital. Great show, in any case.

This was so well done. Thoughtful critique is so hard to come by these days. Thank you.

I appreciate your comment about staying positive. I’m 31 now and have gone through a similar thing the last few years. You’re not alone! Also- I believe the no step on the plane wing is for technicians and passengers in emergency situations. It’s pointing to the flaps which are dangerous to step on.

The In Between. One of my favs.

Toyotathon a December to remember sales event .

Steve McCurry got the last roll of Kodachrome.

Go a little further back & take a look at a very realistic photojournalist’s LOOK at WAR (1983) in Nicaragua with Nick Nolte, Gene Hackman & yes Ed Harris as a wild mercenary. Nolte as a photojournalists armed only with his Leica M4P & Nikon F. Talk about analogue film at its BEST. You’ve got it all in this film- UNDER FIRE A must see 10/10. The Stills captured in this film are truly inspirational. It’s inspiring & captivating. A truth that one picture can really change the world’s perspective.

I don’t know anything about your photography or your photographic style, but I do think your videos have their own style. The melange of different versions of “you” in this video is very clever and effective.

Great picks! Gotta new list to watch now, thanks 🎉

i love videos like this which read the instructions and technical data for me since i cant read.

It sure would be nice if you interact with your followers a bit with each video. I don’t post often but I do like reading comments and seeing the interactions and notice you really never do that to show you want to be a part of the photography community.

Watch the movie Salvador with James Wood.

There is no nuance regarding the connection to photography, in particular conflict photography. “The Bang Bang Club” drives home the gritty nature of this profession which claims the lives of many, explicitly or psychologically.

This was my introduction to your channel. I’m a photographer who previously worked in TV and documentary films as a career. So, I particularly love this. I would recommend Cale Glendening’s beautiful documentary following Joey L traveling to India to photograph the cannibalistic Holy Men of Varanasi. Shot entirely on a Canon 7D it blows my mind what he accomplished every time I watch it. Title: Varanasi, India: “Beyond” (2012)

Don't watch Pink Flamingos then. Killing chickens, eating dog shit and male to male oral sex. A John Waters movie. You did not mention Lee with Kate Winslet about lee miller, photographing fairies and Public eye. Or Fur about Diane Arbus.
