The FM3a is a hybrid shutter. The shutter will be electronically controlled when in the automatic mode, and is a fully mechanical shutter when in manual mode. That's pretty sick.
The Alien logo on the 5222 120 roll was actually a brand called Alien film in china that focus on selling and repackaging motion picture film. You can get them jolly easy in China or on taobao for like 63RMB which is 9 bucks-ish for the 120 version. They also do colour motion picture films like 5203, 5207, 5213, 5219, and 5294. All of them are relatively cheap but in really high quality. Personally they've already taken over Portra's place in my choice. The only thing that needs to notice is that most of them need to be developed with ECN-2 method which in States very few shops accept them, even in NYC.
Yeah I’m pretty sure they’re based in Hangzhou, and since I live in Shanghai their stuff ships to me super quickly. I pretty much only buy film from them now, it’s all great
I almost had a heart attack laughing when the video started with you dubbed in brazilian portuguese. That split of a second is gonna be stuck in my mind and be save with others life-death experiences stories. Thank you AI jumpscare! Thank you Jason! I loved every spoken phrase out of rhythm and the high pitched voice that is far from being similar with the original, and I will save this in a little corner of my heart. P.S.: I'm already excite for the next 'An Ektachrome Christmas', is kinda traditional now. Side to side with the fattening from the holiday lunches of course. ( I don't remember if will happen this year but one can dream, am right?)
lmao Alien Film is a bulk loader in China. They do 500t 250d 50d in both 120 and 135 format. They still got quite a lot of 5222 in both 120 and 135 for sell
Jason I love the videos, it is always a bright spot in my day. The dry humor hits very hard for me and I love it. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Appreciate your dedication to getting that match cut of your note pad, but not punching in to hide that you weren’t talking in that clip. It’s that kind of half assed professionalism that inspires me every day. Whole assing is for losers.
Hated Lost in Translation when I saw it upon release. Maybe I need to watch it again, and give it another chance, since so many people seem to love it.
I always pushed what was High Speed Ektachrome tungsten 160 to 640 when shooting gigs in the last quarter of the last century .... bit grainy, but probably the formulation was quite the same.
Fun fact: the “S“ when people say something is s-tier actually stands for Sophia because she is the literal standard of goodness. Also, your new Aerochrome filter stack would be a fun follow-up 👀
Here's another one for your FM3a. Get the Nikkor 45mm f2.8P. It was designed specifically for this camera for the most compact 35mm SLR set-up you can get. You'll often see reviews poo poo this lens, but it is a dynamite performer and solid metal construction.
Awesome nikon gear! I almost bought the fm3a from a friend but bought his fm2t instead for half the price because I'm a fan of special editions (it's been one of my favorites to use ever since). The 20-35 is a sick lens. I plan to buy one when the af motor on my 17-35 finally stops working (no motor in the 20-35 means it won't break in that way). The "D" on Nikon lenses is for "distance". Basically it means the lens tells the camera what distance your subject is and it adjusts your flash output accordingly. I love using my n90s with the 17-35 and the sb800 off camera. The autofocus makes it so I can hold the flash off to the side and the matrix meter + d lens makes the flash exposures perfect and effortless
If you're thinking about something like the FM3a you owe it to yourself to consider the Nikon FA, which is amazing, and probably (?) does the exact same thing, for what I assume is a fraction of the price.
Interested in your filter array if you feel like going into detail. Also curious if you've tried the Kolari Vision IR Chrome Lens Filter? It's supposed to be close to the look straight out of a full spectrum camera.
That double x 120 film was from a Chinese company. I bought 2 rolls last year. Just viewed their Taobao and they are stilling selling this, for 60yuan which is about $8
Jason is in my home town of San Clemente?! Major Darkroom news coming 1000%. Also it’s insane to see him in SLO so much. I was in college as a photo student when that ship washed ashore. My man live my photo journey at all times
I was looking at buying that bulk roller at one point... would be nice if it wasn't 500 dollarinos. I then thought to myself its basically the same process as manual rolling it just goes brrr. all the steps before would be the same with that or a manual roller you just don't spin a nob I guess I also don't find myself rolling more than like 4-5 rolls at a time before stopping which doesn't usually take that long or much effort. Also the way you clutched your tripod like a purse when that car pulled up at the end killed me lol you were ready bolt.
You discvovered my secret sauce; Ektachrome pushed 2 stops with a warming filter. Welcome to the dark side... meaning you can shoot in the dark with higher iso.
I must be a bit of a bulk loading oddity but I like to make rolls of 30 exposures. Longer than 24 but not as annoying as 36. And best of all is that the film fits better in those Printfile 5 frame wide sheets (I hate having one loose frame when I try and sleeve a 36 exp roll).
Nikon AF-D(istance Info) lenses have contacts for the thinking part of autofocus, but have a screw that the body turns to focus as opposed to G(elded) lenses that have AF motors built into the lenses and control aperture electrically. D lenses for film; G lenses for digital.
Af-d lenses are awesome value for money! Get a cheap Nikon D3 if you want an interesting digital experience, plus they are 12 mp so pre-compressed for you :)
The Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8D was THE pro wide zoom in every PJs Domke bag until the Nikon D1 and 17-35mm f/2.8 AF-S were introduced in 1999. And photography died. If you were a real man Jason, you'd pony up for the equally crinkle-finished 85mm f/1.4D and stellar 28mm f/1.4D. And yes, the "D" stands for droll.
I'd never thought about holding up a filter to my spot meter rather than just changing the ISO to account for the filter factor. Have you found your method to be more accurate?
I've been working on my channel and shooting a hell of a lot more video. Some with RF glass and others with manual focus lenses. I did shoot a wedding and the bride wanted it shot on film. It came out really well with some digital in there as well. I used the Minolta XG-1 loaded with Fuji Superia X-TRA 400. Both lenses were Rokkor. I had my 49mm F1.2 and a 135mm 2.8. Everyone was happy and I made some decent ca$h.
10:54 This is the exact same lens I use for scanning. Not sure how I feel about having made the same decision about something as you did. Probably reflects badly on one of us.
One question that maybe or may not make sense. Why not tape a already exposed piece of film to the leader, so less from the actual expensive film is part of the leader? Same for the end/beginning if the roll.. Wouldn‘t that save you a few more bucks per roll? I though about it when contemplating making 3 Shot rolls, which of course would be a massive waste if done conventionally, but if you reuse leaders and ends, it should not be a problem(financially), right?
To the start of the roll. You can. I don’t bother. To the end of the roll. You can, but it won’t save you any film. You nearly always lose the last shot when bulk rolling.
Just an educated guess but, is the Aerochrome filter array the following? Tiffen Yellow 15 filter + Midwest Optical SP910 Near-IR Dichroic Shortpass Filter
Great video Jason I'll watch it later
Just wanted to leave a hateful and sarcastic comment tbh. Don't really plan on watching
It might not be great
@@liammccauley9380 they have free speech y'know
I watched it, as usual it was ok... I guess...
@@liammccauley9380 cry more
It's the most wonderful time of the year (roughly 4 months until ektachrome christmas 7)
The FM3a is a hybrid shutter. The shutter will be electronically controlled when in the automatic mode, and is a fully mechanical shutter when in manual mode. That's pretty sick.
I use hotdog bathwater as stopbath

They are probably going out of business along all the other Kodak movie film respoolers though 😔

ye, apparently they purchased all the leftovers and made them into 120 film. Definitely will try this myself.
Aaaaahm sorry to interrupt but I want that Aerochrome filter stack formula?! 😮 Colors look amazing!
Same!!! Video on that!!
Same same. Video now father
I was about to ask the same.
@@flixbert let the horse loose now🗣️🗣️🗣️
D stands for distance, as the lens communicates its distance setting to the AF system of the body it is attached to
@@AlyxEvans thats what the d always stands for, unfortunately :(
Stands for … _Did not know that._
Jason I love the videos, it is always a bright spot in my day. The dry humor hits very hard for me and I love it. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.
The pushed Ektachrome photos you showed had a really cool look to them
Dude. You've just became my favorite film photography UA-camr.
The emotion you carry in these... 👌
Appreciate your dedication to getting that match cut of your note pad, but not punching in to hide that you weren’t talking in that clip. It’s that kind of half assed professionalism that inspires me every day. Whole assing is for losers.
try 82A/B/C filters for a less extreme cooling affect, might preserve some red halation
Hated Lost in Translation when I saw it upon release. Maybe I need to watch it again, and give it another chance, since so many people seem to love it.
I bought that 20-35 Nikon lens earlier this year to shoot with on my N5005 and it’s awesome. Super sharp, and zoom range is absolutely perfect
using hotdog water as a filter in between two UV filters screwed together should yield the results you want. adjust for -2 stops.
I like the new lifted blacks and softer contrast. Easier to watch in the dark
Usually pushing slide film works better then color negative because of the development process
I always pushed what was High Speed Ektachrome tungsten 160 to 640 when shooting gigs in the last quarter of the last century .... bit grainy, but probably the formulation was quite the same.
Great to see Matt's brother exploring the field of photography gear
Fun fact: the “S“ when people say something is s-tier actually stands for Sophia because she is the literal standard of goodness.
Also, your new Aerochrome filter stack would be a fun follow-up 👀
This video has cured my depression for the day
You should give the Nikon F4 a whirl sometime. It’s heavy but you had a Pentax 67, so you have the muscles
Shhhh on the Nikon gear. People will catch on. Prices will go up.
That “cinestill 100t” stuff looks really nice, reminds me of the Portra 100t video
I love my LLL SP. Loads of glow wide-open, and the focus falloff is interesting. Mine is black but I like your Bronze Age version.
Thanks for sharing/creating. As always. Enjoyed watching/listening while working on some client photos.
Here's another one for your FM3a. Get the Nikkor 45mm f2.8P. It was designed specifically for this camera for the most compact 35mm SLR set-up you can get. You'll often see reviews poo poo this lens, but it is a dynamite performer and solid metal construction.
If you can, get your hands on the Voitlander 40mm F/2.

Aaah, shooting large format in a hurry, always the best feeling!
that bulk loader might be just the thing to make to go digital....
As an X2D user, I have to say that the tonality of the 8X10 was much nicer - at a price, admittedly.
If you're thinking about something like the FM3a you owe it to yourself to consider the Nikon FA, which is amazing, and probably (?) does the exact same thing, for what I assume is a fraction of the price.
And it is smaller, lighter and has "matrix" metering. It was Nikon's first Matrix meter. Titanium shutter too. Makes the FM3a look like child's play
@@TucsonAnalogWorkshop It's crazy how much this camera offers. It's perfect. I don't always agree with R*ckwell but boy he got this one right.
I now have something to look forward to
Looking forward to seeing videos of the new toys!
Scan results are kinda impressive. Cool setup🎉

The 5222 film (bwxx) actually is from china. It’s spooled by alien film,it has been broadly used in china . Don’t know how British got it😂
Love the portrait shot. ❤
moon light pier shot is your best ever.
Welcome to the fm3a world🎉
Today I learned I had a film camera before Jason did. FM3A gaaaaaang!
Yoo me too. That's what I'm talking about.
The ending of The Mist was the MOST EXCRUCIATING of all time!!!!
8:36 For those wondering, The Prestige is Christopher Nolan's best movie.
you're lucky to pay 24 dollars for one roll of E100, here in France it's like €29 (bit more than 30 USD at current rates)
It’s €34 (390kr) in Sweden. So $24 is a bargain.
@ oh gosh it’s even worse for you then. Kodak Alaris raising those prices to crazy levels
Oppenheimer is Nolan’s best film since The Prestige

Thank Zeus you returned to the bail-arm 8x10. That Intrepid was painful.
Af-d lenses are awesome value for money! Get a cheap Nikon D3 if you want an interesting digital experience, plus they are 12 mp so pre-compressed for you :)
If Tiffen made a filter with a less dramatic cooling effect that only robbed me of one stop of light, that would actually be perfect.
6:00 shooting truck pics. My man.

That moon shot was good...wasn't it? What's your take?
Nice bulk film loader. I read that Kodak will no longer sell Ektachrome in bulk to consumers. Better stock up.
I could have done something more productive, but the 8x10 came out and I got invested.
Have you tried the Kolari IR Chrome filter for Aerochrome-like photos?
One question that maybe or may not make sense.
Why not tape a already exposed piece of film to the leader, so less from the actual expensive film is part of the leader?

RIP bulk rolling
Amazing upload, sounds great as background noise
22:01 you really calling me out. I got a calculus exam in a week
Damn. I just bought expired Ektachrome E200 an hour before this video dropped. Should I push it to 800?
Loved this video! Is Kodak still selling 400 ft rolls? Though they stopped doing that for consumers.
Nice vid. What brown leather camera strap you using Jason?
Where do you get your 8x10 film developed? Do you get it scanned? I have a Gibellini on order….
