Honestly I think the digital photos looked amazing, however when comparing to the film counterparts I felt the digitals lacked a bit of texture or feel in a sense, I feel like digital does what it’s supposed to do to perfection but film takes a few more liberties when it comes to the results. Overall loved the video and all the photos turned out really good and interesting 👌👌
Please come back man.. You're one of the most talented London guys and best at this UA-cam game. So many of my peoples have watched and loved/learned from your videos. Bless
@@barneyarthur4615 I understand mate.. All us photographers go through it and have to step away sometimes. Glad you're okay.. Some super talented people I know follow this channel..You'll be represented by Artpartner or something oneday. Peace bro
One thing medium format has that the Fuji apc-s can’t ever do is the depth of field transition. Medium format has a much smoother transition area where smaller chips have a more abrupt transition. So depending on the look you want this is either a good or bad thing lol. Cheers on a well done video
Even if they were identical, I would miss the process of shooting, developing, and scanning film. It’s a whole experience. I have nothing against digital cameras.
You are very consistent. That’s what makes it nearly indistinguishable for me to tell if it was film vs digital. If these were unlabeled and you shopped out the imperfections of film I genuinely couldn’t tell the difference. You have a look that is consistent and I ain’t talking presets baby.
Loving this man, good to see you uploading! Completely agree with your comments about the clinical nature of digital and contrasting that to the beautiful instability of film; I especially loved the motion shots. Looking forward to the next vid x
It's hard to tell the difference on a UA-cam video since the biggest benefit of film over digital is the unlimited colors but those unlimited colors have been transfered to RGB pixels here anyway, but even having said that, and even being a huge fan and proponent of the xt4, these film shots are outstanding! Hands>tools. great work man
I watched this at premier time at work and I had to see it again. This group of work just hit me loving the color, aesthetics, light. Really good job there man. Keep them coming please.
barney, the pictures are absolute madness. Most of the time you only get uninspired model photoshoots but your choice of model is so unique and your photography style so damn good. 👍
Great video, killing it as always! Definitely one of my favorite and exciting up and coming photographers and one of the best ones I see on UA-cam, can never praise your work enough. You need to get yourself known to the mags like Dazed and Confused and Another, you'd be a great fit in those publications, its time for the world to know your work! Both mediums will create magic, in the end it just boils down to preference. They both produce crazy images! Great stuff!
First video I've seen of yours, definitely won't be the last. You got a subscriber. I love how unfussed but striking your portraits are. I think my favourite is the 10:16 - the others are great and all but that one has such a feel like he's a world away, lost in himself. As an X-Pro3 shooter and Fujifilm fan I've still honestly got to give it to the rz67 for overall image quality, but again it's amazing how close the APS-C Fuji is getting. For motion in portraiture Gordon Parks did pretty well in his fashion shoots experimenting with slow film, Ernst Haas also really pushed it to an impressionistic vibe. Anyway, thanks again - great images and you're leaps ahead of most photography vloggers out there.
Thank you so much, completely agree, the lil Fuji sensors are so capable and especially in the bnw is very comparable. Will check out those photographers!
@@barneyarthur4615 Agh, nearly forgot - this photographer above all for black and white pushed to extremes - Mario Giacomelli, I think you'll like him! :)
Killer video look from the Xt4! To get even closer to film on digital you can try the Pentax 645Z. Then you'd be comparing like for like (almost) as far as format. I do client shoots with that and my Fuji XPro II and it works amazingly well to cover an and to end look and vibe. You did a great job matching exposures and treatments between the two but wow, those outdoor film shots were hard to beat. I feel like those show the separation between the two systems best. What I've learned from the 645Z is that it isn't necessarily "film" that get's that look people react to, it the medium format. Medium format film or digital seems to be the magic system!
Fantastic comparison! I have the mitakon 35mm for my Fuji xt3 and yea it’s a look I don’t get with any other lens. Just got the Fuji gfx 50r with the mitakon 64mm f1.4 and wow. True medium format “Look” love mitakon. I love your content you do a great job and those portraits are off the hook good bro. Great job
Great video and shots. Regarding the reason the shots look different. Shallow depth of field isn’t the medium format look. It’s the compression from longer focal lengths combined with the wider view. Even when you shoot with a stopped down medium format camera it looks different. That’s what it is. Medium format doesn’t have shallower depth of field than any other sensor (or film) size, they don’t directly change depth of field, it’s all focal length and distance to subject and f stop. The bigger film just gives you more canvas so you get a perceived wider angle of view. So if you shoot a tight head shot the 85mm 1.2 on full frame the depth of field and compression will look similar, but without the wider view.
Really enjoyed this. Would be super interested in the XT4 b&w workflow, looking great! Saw in another comment about packaging presets. Pretty simple to do, definitely have a look into it.
@@barneyarthur4615 Thank dude. I normally try the grain in camera, will experiment more in post. Check out fujixweekly.com if you want a film simulation rabbit hole..
Love the images. For the red light look on film, give Redscale film a go, no need for gelles lighting. I shoot it on my 67 and 645 and love to look. It makes for a good black and white scan too. As for the comparison, I don't think the choice of location showed the benefits of 67 over APSC. The shallow dof on the head shots, yes, however, where it really becomes noticeable is in the separation/isolation of the subject from the background. 110mm isolation with a 50mm fields of view. Whereas the Fujifilm is giving you a 35mm isolation with a 50mm field of view equivalent. I use the Fujifilm system and love it, I use the Mamiya system and love it just as much!
Would defo have been better and original plan was a forest that would’ve really showed the difference in separation but we got rained off so had to just find shelter. Love both too !
This is your best video yet, man. Are you shooting raw or using in-camera JPG recipes? Would love to see what you do for split-toning and such to get the film look in Lightroom. Keep the videos coming, you are definitely my new fave photography channel. Cheers
Damn thank you man, I stress so much that my next vid won’t be as good as the last so I appreciate that ! I shoot raw always and have my own presets that I use but am going to experiment with some recepies soon.
Mate I absolutely love your videos but I’m a beginner and I cannot figure out how you made your ad200 continuous at 8:05 I have the exact same one as you and I can’t find any info on how to do that. Pls help mate!
Thanks man, it’s called the model light function, is on most strobes to show u where the light will fall, on the ad200 there’s a button with a light bulb if u press that it will come on, only using the fresnel head tho not the bulb
"...maybe..." that made me laugh. Another very good video, gorgeous photos as well. Thanks for that. I have the Mitakon and it's gorgeous. I wanted a manual lens that goes with my XPRO3 and its style of shooting (especially streets) and also because I despise the infinite electronic focus ring on the Fuji's. Unfortunately my unit has a bit of wabbling so the focusing at .95 is not very precise and it sometimes shifts. I would have preferred a clicky aperture ring. Overall its lower price, the beautiful bokeh it has and the fact that it's sexy make me forget its flaws.
Thank you for sharing, video and photos really inspiring! One techy question. In the majority of the shots we cannot see any detail of the location, but it seems to be chosen on purpose (graffiti and the general underground look with the subject). Any insight of that? Was it an accident?
Yo! I really love these photos a lot. The feel and look is really cool. Also what was the flash head you were using? I'm curious because I really want to experiment and use more of a more 'lighting' look to my photographs
@@barneyarthur4615 some people absloutely swear by them and others seem to get great results without using them. Never shot Fuji my self (Sony boi) but really love these shots from both mate.
Stunning shots, super fun. I’ve been gunning to get an outdoor light rig for my RZ for a while. but intimidated by metering with flash/trigger. Given the obvious shooting film, do you need a dedicated flash meter to adjust your ev?
@@barneyarthur4615 thank you, definitely gonna give it a go. don’t actually own a digital camera but I do have some old FP100 in the fridge that could come in handy...
Great shots all around!! I do have one question though. Did you do any post processing on the Fuji on Lightroom or capture one? If not, what film simulation did you shoot these on? Banging shots as always mate.
well... judging by the thumbnail, if you shoot with a large dof and make the shadows a bit darker, the pictures would be identical. I could not tell the difference in that scenario. But than again, you are shooting Fujifilm and they emulate there filmstocks, so it makes sense =D Looking forward for the premier!
Saw this vid just now. I was surprised about the image quality of the Fuji (or how much you could get of it :-) ). How was those images processed? You were quite close to the film emulation..👍
It’s hard to say cos can only really go off how shallow the dof is which is pretty subjective but f2 doesn’t really exist on 6x7 only 6.45 but would be aboht f1 on 35
Rewatching this video for inspiration lol. Barney, did you shoot the Fuji consistently at .95? How was the roll off? Widest I’ve gone is 1.4 and I always find that the roll off of sharpness from eye (focus point) to mouth is really aggressive. Any tips? Also, thanks from my wallet for making me drop $1700 on a rz67 and a 110mm lol
@@barneyarthur4615 cheers mate. One last question if that’s cool. I know you’ve covered this in your other video a bit but do you find shooting the Pentax 67 inside with a strobe is really not worth it? The whole reason you have the rz67 is just for indoor photo shoots for closeups/strobes?
Did you give up on the Pentax 6x7 :( I've noticed you haven't been using it as much lately! Amazing pictures as always though, I'm loving the new experimental pictures you're taking.
Quite surprised with how those XT4 photos turned out. They were just as beautiful! Quick non-photography question: I saw in Instagram that you're reading Kafka. Any other books you've read lately that you can recommend?
@@barneyarthur4615 would love a tutorial on these edits and generally these film like edits !!, excitingly waiting for thatt Lovee ur work btw Keep up the amazing content ❤🔥
I never understand why people talk about "the crazy depth of field of medium format". Because most lenses on medium format don't go wider than F4-2.8-2.4 (some exceptions) and those lenses on say, a 6x7 film camera give you more or less the equivalent depth of field of a F2, f1.4 and F1.2 lens on a full frame digital or 35mm camera. And guess what, those lenses are mass produced. So there is no magical depth of field on medium format. Now, the quality of bokeh, the transition of focus, the tonality and color of 120film. Those are things you can discuss on. And those are the reasons I enjoy working with my Pentax 67 and other bodies, next to my pro digital kit. But if you really want crazy depth of field and truly a complete different look, go for large format and with fast lenses (fast.. for large format). You can take full body shots and the model will look like it's floating in front of a cloud.
@@barneyarthur4615 Compression is mostly caused by distance to subject, not so much by lens or format. For large format, you can always use the Brenizer Method: use a small camera with a fast semi-telephoto lens (say, 50 or 80 f1.8) and stitch together images taken at max aperture, at medium distance. The result is you now have a wide field of view with a shallow depth of field. Basically what large format can offer.
Wen we talk about DOF - there are several factors to consider as u so rightly suggest - as a pro for 35 yrs - I would suggest the vast majority YT'rs of this generation current company excepted - have not even used a MF, don't shoot professionally and are there for the likes and content grabbing 'free' stuff sent to them for review. As a prolific user of MF and LF for over 35 yrs I can tell you we don't look for DOF other than what is right for the shot- and in most cases this is F8 - we look for separation. When I shot on RZ hundreds of years ago I often used a 500mm APO for the fashion work simply as it would give about three inches of sharp focus in front of a full length model and an out of focus background - usually a building to give the viewer a point of focus - all this nonsense about lenses with apertures of 0. this and 0. that have little place in the real world of photography. Probably good for wildlife where fast shutters need a wider aperture but little else. So the difference in formats is 'what it gives you in totality' not just one thing -as you say - DOF doesn't even come to it.
@@barneyarthur4615 Hey are you aware of LR limitations with the Fuji RAW files? There "worm" artifacts on the pictures are caused by poor demosaicing of the X-Trans sensor raw files done by LR. That's why fuji shooters usually works with Capture one or Irident X Transformer + LR. Don`t want to bother but maybe it could be the case you didn't know that. Great video, anyway. I was relentlessly looking for a lens for fuji that could help me getting a medium format look with my fuji X. I just love these full body portraits with shallow DOF that you can get. Just by coincidence I was looking for the 35mm f0.95 from 7artisans just before your video. Thanks mate for this.
Honestly I think the digital photos looked amazing, however when comparing to the film counterparts I felt the digitals lacked a bit of texture or feel in a sense, I feel like digital does what it’s supposed to do to perfection but film takes a few more liberties when it comes to the results.

I say there is no winner film vs digital, the xt4 for sure was sharper and had more detail, but the rz had a dreamy film look, take your pic.
Which film did you use in the RZ?
Pro 400h
Can you list your lighting setup for us still fearful of lighting? Lol. This looks like a nice compact setup.
Godox ad200, godox xpro trigger, 3 foot octobox, easy as that
@@barneyarthur4615 thank you very much! Hope all is well on your side of the pond.
@@barneyarthur4615 One question, which trigger (for camera model) did you get that is compatible with the Mamiya? Thanks mate!
@@adibesa1865 fujifilm but think canon is too
Godox lights are the best.
Amen
ID on that green sweater? Loved the video, bro. Solid insight
Thanks man, it’s from heaven can wait

BARNNNNEYYYYYYY I’m watching 😌😌 it’s Louis Johnson incase you don’t know 😂😂
Ayyyy thank you
What presets did you use for 4:40 and 4:43? If they are yours you should definitely package them and sell them, I will buy them!
All my own ! Pretty simple tbf will do a vid on them just have no idea on how I’d package them to sell lol
@@barneyarthur4615 that’d be amazing, looking forward to your video!!
@@barneyarthur4615 would love a tutorial on these edits and generally these film like edits !!, excitingly waiting for thatt

@@barneyarthur4615 i shoot Unfold 400
@@radicaleyemag what is unfold 400, can you explain?
I never understand why people talk about "the crazy depth of field of medium format". Because most lenses on medium format don't go wider than F4-2.8-2.4 (some exceptions) and those lenses on say, a 6x7 film camera give you more or less the equivalent depth of field of a F2, f1.4 and F1.2 lens on a full frame digital or 35mm camera. And guess what, those lenses are mass produced. So there is no magical depth of field on medium format.
Now, the quality of bokeh, the transition of focus, the tonality and color of 120film. Those are things you can discuss on. And those are the reasons I enjoy working with my Pentax 67 and other bodies, next to my pro digital kit. But if you really want crazy depth of field and truly a complete different look, go for large format and with fast lenses (fast.. for large format). You can take full body shots and the model will look like it's floating in front of a cloud.
If only I could afford 8x10. I think it’s more the compression that people like when they talk about depth of field of 120 compared 35mm
@@barneyarthur4615 Compression is mostly caused by distance to subject, not so much by lens or format.
For large format, you can always use the Brenizer Method: use a small camera with a fast semi-telephoto lens (say, 50 or 80 f1.8) and stitch together images taken at max aperture, at medium distance. The result is you now have a wide field of view with a shallow depth of field. Basically what large format can offer.
Wen we talk about DOF - there are several factors to consider as u so rightly suggest - as a pro for 35 yrs - I would suggest the vast majority YT'rs of this generation current company excepted - have not even used a MF, don't shoot professionally and are there for the likes and content grabbing 'free' stuff sent to them for review. As a prolific user of MF and LF for over 35 yrs I can tell you we don't look for DOF other than what is right for the shot- and in most cases this is F8 - we look for separation. When I shot on RZ hundreds of years ago I often used a 500mm APO for the fashion work simply as it would give about three inches of sharp focus in front of a full length model and an out of focus background - usually a building to give the viewer a point of focus - all this nonsense about lenses with apertures of 0. this and 0. that have little place in the real world of photography. Probably good for wildlife where fast shutters need a wider aperture but little else. So the difference in formats is 'what it gives you in totality' not just one thing -as you say - DOF doesn't even come to it.
I gotta find me a muse 😅
Always
wow fujifilm is great
The best !
"the ultimate film vs digital comparison"
next line: "a very non technical comparison between .."
so this is where the film community on youtube is at
Yeh apologise for the exaggerated title it’s just what you have to do nowadays on UA-cam
@@barneyarthur4615 I respect that you tell it like it is. Keep up the good film work
@@dgpdgpdgp thank you
Don't think much of the colours of the film but that black and white is beautiful!
What film is the b&w
Tri x !
@@barneyarthur4615 Thanks man. SO nice. To be fair, the black and white for the X-T4 were lush as well
What was the lens he used for the digital camera?
Mitakon 35mm f0.95
My guy sounds like Noel Fielding at times.
Oooh I don't like salt I'm fresh war-tuh.
Ababa will take that as a compliment he’s a legend
@@barneyarthur4615 it absolutely is a compliment.
Seems like lots of Noise reduction in the fuji
Was added grain texture but something went wrong in the export so they do look weird
@@barneyarthur4615 Hey are you aware of LR limitations with the Fuji RAW files? There "worm" artifacts on the pictures are caused by poor demosaicing of the X-Trans sensor raw files done by LR. That's why fuji shooters usually works with Capture one or Irident X Transformer + LR. Don`t want to bother but maybe it could be the case you didn't know that.
Great video, anyway. I was relentlessly looking for a lens for fuji that could help me getting a medium format look with my fuji X. I just love these full body portraits with shallow DOF that you can get. Just by coincidence I was looking for the 35mm f0.95 from 7artisans just before your video. Thanks mate for this.
