I have a Canon N- F1. I like a grainy Ilford HP 400. I recently picked up a couple rolls of Kodak Ektar 100. When I bought my F1 it was advertised as “ mint condition and it is as advertised. I did not get a great deal at all. I love that body. Sometimes you get what you pay for. I did by a Canon AE-1 Program for a modest deal but sent it out to have light seal checked and fix a squeak. Very inexpensive repair. All is good.
I started shooting in 1970 with the Pentax Spotmatic F. Great camera. I got a lot of excellent photos with it. Also had fantastic lenses. I eventually ended up with the Nikon F2A and FE2. Today they still word despite being 40 years old. I shot a lot with Kodachrome, which is no longer. Photos were sharp and brilliant with excellent color. Today I shoot a roll once in a great while with film from Kodak, Fuji and Ilford. I'm fully digital now with my latest purchase, the Sony A7CR. Like you, I shoot very carefully with film as it is too expensive.
Thanks for sharing your experience with film! It is very expensive indeed, buying and developing a roll is like a total of €20-€25 euros, so I'll probably keep it at 1 - 2 rolls per month haha
Great video, i love the framing of your shots. Ultramax is a very grainy film stock like you mentioned, I'm certain you'll find better results from more "professional" film stocks. I'm sorry about your bad luck with cameras so far, but there are a lot of great film cameras out there still in good condition. To answer your question from the end of the video, i shoot primarily on two cameras. The olympus OM2-SP and the Bronica ETR-si. I usually shoot Ektar 100 for color and Kodak Double-X for my BW stuff. I've been recently playing around with Lomography 800 Color Negative film which I think has really fun colors. Film is a long but fun journey and i hope you enjoy :))
Thanks a lot! I don't dislike grain at all, I edit my digital photos with grain as well but I feel like Ultramax 400 delivers a bit too much grain. I bought another F1, hope this one has no issues! Oh cool, never heard of the Bronica! Would love to try B&W film stock as well, will probably try it after the new rolls of film I got. Ektar 100 is super expensive over here in Belgium damn, almost 20 euros a roll! Wish film was a bit cheaper tho, but I love the process and the journey!

It's always a gamble with film camera's I guess... Glad you were able to fix it!
I bought my first Canon F1, since then I have bought a total of 5 F1s. They are fantastic.
That's amazing! Really need to start using mine more tbh, it's been a while

I have a Canon T70 which is not very sexy but works wonderfully. But I still want a F1 though...
Hope you'll be able to get one soon! I still gotta test the other one I've purchased, was lucky I was able to return the one I bought
Ah yes, classical out of focus shot of a cat. Every roll I shoot has one of those :)
Hahaha, that's funny! If that's a common thing, maybe I should try to make a collection of those
I've been looking for rhis camera and no where to be found 😢
Oh really? There are lot's of them available on Etsy!
@@KaanSenel I'm knew to all of this and just discovered that ultramax is film not the camera😩😂
Hahaha, don't worry, I'm still a noob as well
The grain is so pronounced when underexposed :(
Indeed, that's what I've noticed as well :/
