- I tested a couple of Lomography colour negatives before I flew to Hong Kong while testing AstrHori's new cold shoe light meter. How did it compare to Voigtlander VC II meter that costs almost five times more? #analoguephotography #photography #shootingfilm

You are great, Jimmy. I love to see you doing street photography on film. I really appreciate your attitude with people: I never was a fan of "aggressive" street photography of Bruce Gliden, I think that respect and kindness are the key to great street photography. I want to see more photographers from Hong Kong, being already a big fan of Fan Ho, one of my favourite. Respect!
Thanks Robert. I still love street photography and perhaps something that I will go back to when I am less busy with portrait works. Fan Ho, oh yes.
Something different, I like it! It reminds me of the days I discovered you around 2018-2019. I don’t want to get back into that kind of film photography but I have been enjoying shooting with my refurbished Polaroid SX-70 and fujifilm instax wide 300.
Thanks mate. haha yeah I did some film stuff back then, and I still shoot instax actually.
I still use my Weston Euromaster meter! Brilliant and ever reliable and accurate.
Weston is brilliant!
Thanks Jimmy I’m going to pick up that light meter
Thanks mate!
Very nice to see the Leica and the 35 again. It’s been many years.
it has Chris! It's fun to shoot just that I don't have much time these days to shoot analogue.
Good to you in a happy place.
Thanks and yes, very happy indeed.
Love the video. Love analog film photography. Love Leica. And you are officially the next Cartier-Bresson (I have a proof in this video) 👍
hahah that's high praise. Cartier-Bresson is just another level, so is Fan-ho. They are both my heroes.
Hey Jimmy, sorry for bothering you. I want to start doing some documentary filmmaking. Right now I’ve only got prime lenses: 12mm, 25mm, and 45mm. I’ve got an EM5 III. I’m thinking a zoom lens would be more versatile so I don’t have to keep swapping out lenses. It’s just me, I don’t have a crew to catch extra footage. Any advice on this?
Also happy Christmas season to you.
I have the TT Artisan meter which is a copy of the voigtlander one, and a lot cheaper (similar cost to the AtrHori I think). it works well enough, not USB charged though.
My shooting buddy and I still shoot film from time to time. The AstrHori looks like a great little gadget, but fortunately the meters on my film cameras (Oly OM1n and Nikon F/N 80) still work fine, so don't need it at the moment. Don't shoot much film these days, but love it when I do. Makes me mindful of the total shooting process, which applies to digital as well as film IMHO. Hope that "resetting" process makes me a better overall photographer.
I love your referral to 'Resetting'. Yes, digital is too 'easy' these days, stepping back a bit makes me calmer and enjoy more of the process.
Man i just bought the 20mm pro . That crap is sharp as hell! I took a photo of a carasol 20 yards back and could zoom in to see dust. Great purchase. My loawa 18mm is on the way from Hong Kong now.
And great video by the way. I still need to finish my 3 rolls of Fuji. I wanted to drop them off as I picked up the 20mm lens, but at the Sametime i dont want to purposely shoot all the film off. Question if i leave that Pentax in my car and the film loaded , then the temps drop to freezing overnight will it ruin the film?
No, it's fine in cold. Don't worry about it haha I kept my films in the fridge to stay fresh and I've left my film in freezing nights without problem.
@@ericlundquist3466 The film will survive the heat and cold in the car, but not the lens. The lens is liable to have condensation in the interior of the lens and repeated thawing and freezing will cause mould or fungus to form inside the lens. Once it starts, that's the end of the lens, unfortunately.
What are you using for b roll ?

Hello, have you ever tried to do street photography with an analog SLR? To make it more interesting, with an analog SLR that has a waist-level viewfinder. That might be a project that you would enjoy... However, there is no Olympus SLR camera with an interchangeable viewfinder, so you would have to look to the competition. You could choose from the Nikon F to F5, the Canon F-1 to F-1 New, the Pentax LX or the Minolta XK or XM. Of course, other companies such as Miranda Exakta, Edixa and so on also offer interchangeable viewfinder systems with light well viewfinders. Oh yes, Leica doesn't have anything like that in its range either. 😁
What do you think, would that be a challenge for you? 😉

Thanks mate. Yes, I used to shoot old Zenit E, I also used Zeiss TLRs and even Lomo Lubitel haha. I am no strangers when it comes to films, just I am shooting less and less (due to costs). I had a Nikon FM3a, though I wanted the F3 with waist finder, that would be cool. Also Pentax LX is and excellent camera too. Now, I mainly shoot Leica M6, Olympus OM-1 and occasionally, my Lomo Lubitel for films.
@@Red35Photography Otherwise, if the F3 from Nikon is still too expensive at the moment, try the F2. It's even more mechanical than the F3, but that's what makes it so attractive, not having everything controlled by the camera. And interchangeable viewfinders have been around since the Nikon F. 😉
The Nikon F2 is normally available for between 250 and 500 € and if you are very lucky, even cheaper.
As I said, street photography with a waist-level viewfinder and, if I understood correctly, you only tried the waist-level viewfinder with a TLR, where you would expect something like this rather than with a 35mm SLR camera. 😉
There are attachable right angle finders for the OM series (Google Varimagni). They are pretty good, especially for stuff like macro, though probably a bit odd for street.
@@TristanColgate
However, a clip-on viewfinder for the eyepiece is not a waist-level viewfinder, which can be used much more inconspicuously and where you don't have to be directly in front of the viewfinder to look through it. 😁
