Very well done video. I'm glad there are still people engaging in film use. I love the the younger generation is reaching for and embracing film and including it as another medium in the art form. Long live film!
120 light leak isn't through the paper; it's from the edges where the paper can fail to make a fully tight light seal with the end of the spool. Good technique isn't an approximation, particularly if you know better.
I remember watching this video a year ago. Didn't realize back then there were more episodes to watch. I'm going to really enjoy this. Thank you, well done Film.
You are awesome for making this. So detailed and informative. I have been shooting film for about a year or so and I learned a lot from this. Thank you sir
This video reminds me of when I was a school patrol and at the end of the year we would go to a water slide as a reward. Ultimately a waste of time and unfulfilled.
The only drawback to the 6x7 is the massive mirror slap, which is why I'm glad I have the MLU version. I bought a waist level finder for mine a while back. It's way brighter than the metered prism, and makes tripod work a lot easier on the neck and eyes!
Very good to see that the younger generation still like to use film, I have recently re taken up using film in my case Ilford FP4 I still use digital but in many ways using film in cameras with fixed local length lenses limits ones flexibility but that makes in more of a challenge and in a strange way more enjoyable.....................I hope that makes sense?
northstar1950 I fully agree northstar1950 that it's great to see younger users using film. A couple of years back I read that FP4 was available again (made in India, I think) and so I went out and bought a roll. I took some good shots but I used it too lavishly on unimportant stuff, because when I took it to a camera shop to be developed it had to go off to a specialist laboratory and the cost of a 24 film plus developing was around £17. If I want a black and white image now, I will take a digital shot on a phone or tablet and then convert it on Snapseed or other app. to black and white for no price at all. Beware folks in the past B+W developing and film were both cheaper, today they are much more expensive. True, the results are superb but think about price too. There are no such worries over using a 200 or 400 ISO/ASA 35mm film; prices are reasonable.
Really cool video. I'm in the market for an F2 right now. Can you advise anything about the quality of different 35mm film, i.e. am I good going to Wal Mart and picking up some ISO 400 rolls or are certain brands better than others that you've found?
Inserting film in the camera in broad sunlight is not a good idea. And when using the 4 X 5'' camera, don't forget to pull out the dark slide prior to pressing the cable release.
So 4x5 IS the large format film they have been talking about...I recently acquired a Polaroid 110A Rangefinder that shoots 4*5 packfilms and it's uber fun to play with that camera. The best part is, since it's a Polaroid, it shoots Fujifilm FP100C and FP3000C, which are basically the instant film version of the large format films. The best part is they are pre-loaded in the cartridges and they are relatively affordable (if you compare those with the Impossible Project instant films). I already went three packs of those, although I haven't fully understand the camera and the film yet, but I had fun, and that's the reason I love analog photography
4x5 is just one large format size. there are even bigger ones. well, the instant film versions of 4x5 are also single sheets that load into cameras like the one in the video, it´s true that polaroids are large format but you couldn´t compare them to large format camera.
Really nice video, very instructive.. I'm a second year photography student and so far I've only shot 35mm, and I'm already in love with it.. Can´t wait to try larger formats! Cheers!
Thanks for the great video guys...after starting out in digital photography I've recently decided to give film shooting a try and I'm really loving it...feel very comfortable with a film camera in my hand and everything such as the doing all the settings etc seems to be coming naturally where I though it would be difficult and hard to do.the very first roll I shot although nothing spectacular turned out quite well and pleased with the results for my first efforts.hoping to have a long relationship with film now..keep up the good work with the videos :-)
The type of large format camera shown was used by the great Ansel Adams when he took his famous photographs of Yosemite Park. Check out his pictures and his history. The magic of film is still with us and long may it last.
Advancing the film that fast on a Pentax 67 or 67ii is likely to strip the gears. These are scaled-up 35mm cameras, but they cannot take 35mm-style film advance because of the much larger piece of film being transported. And loading 120 or 220 film in bright sun, as you demonstrate, is a definite no-no.
I have been using film camera for almost 2 years, I have least experiences so thanks for this video :) I'm using canon AE1 which is very common. I love taking black and white photo, My first roll is kinda cool, I love it so much. I hope can watch more Video of you guys making black and white photo, and show us more technic so that i can learn from you guys.
***** You have to be careful tough! To be fair, this film is quite unforgiving with exposures, and will look a bit... blue? it is not too bad, if you are just shooting, probably is 95% of time, it is more than enough because of the price-quality ratio. But if you go to a wedding or on a special occasion, you might want to use that £5-6 film you need to save and to make sure every photo is perfect and with good colour. Specially considering that on this blooming country most of the time you need at least a ISO400!. Having to shoot most of the time with a range of 1/30-1/60 and F2-f4 because the sun here seems to be terminally ill and you are using a slow film won't give you a lot of margin!
Your medium format is a beast and I'm also loving your golden 4x5! Just my opinion though (for the first time shooters of that 4x5), set up the camera and compose first before metering. Light is ever-changing. Also, my friend Stefan, avoid recording on max aperture :) But this video is one of the best to tackle film photography. Keep it up!
Where did u get the cases for them because I have an om-10 and I need a good sturdy case for traveling with it because every year I travel around the world
Since your video is very helpful and informative, I felt free to ask you about a problem I am facing. I recently got a Seagull DF-200A. Most Seagull cameras has the same features as Milonta. I used a Fuji 200/36 film. After I had my film developed from a nearby professional studio, there were no images on my film. It is just blank and transparent. Is there anything wrong with my camera or was it a damaged film? The shutter of my Seagull works fine but there is a little bit of fungus in the lens and some dusts on the mirror. The camera works fine mechanically but I just could not figure out the problem that I had to face with the film development. I set the aperture to 8 and shutter speed to 125 during day and 60 during night. It was the first and the last time I developed a film that I used in my Seagull. Please help me out Sir and let me know all the possible errors that may occur with my camera or film. I will be glad to appreciate your kindness. Thank You.
***** Thank you very much Sir. I gladly appreciate your concern. As you asked, there were no edge markings near the sprockets of the film. I could not even notice any frames on the film or negative after being developed. Next, when I advanced the film to shoot, the film rewind knob on the left hand side of the camera turned along with the film advance lever, so I think the film was loaded correctly or may be not. Is there any other technical way rather than an ocular way to check if the shutter works fine or the film I shall use in the future is being exposed? Thank You. I shall long for more of your videos. :) Here is a link of the film I used... cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0065/6682/products/Fuji-C200-Color-Negative-Film_grande.jpg?v=1343728533
Very nice of you to show a variety of camera/film types. I suspect many have not heard of anything but 35mm. I have limited 120 experience and some day would like to get my hands on something like that Pentax! I do have a fair amount of experience with 35mm. A quick tip that might help people to make the jump to film; I have a Nikon FE as well as a Canon AE-1 and on both I can typically get 2-3 more shots than the listed number of exposures. I:E: 27 instead of 24 or 38 instead of 36. To do this I only load the film as far as I have to instead of advancing the film to the #1 counter. The down side is that there will often be one photo where maybe 1/4 is missing! Anyhow, it helps to make using film more affordable.
***** Very good point too. I have been known to take some great shots that never made it onto film! I also have been known to not even have any film in the camera (the problem you have when you have too many film cameras!). It is essential to always look at the rewind knob as a matter of habit when advancing the film. One note for the novice- at first it may barely move. I also try to make sure that I start to advance the film after loading while the back is still open. Keep up the good work!
Abdulaziz Alghamdi I first started using SLR cameras before TTL metering and at that time many people used a make called 'Weston'. I was very young and had little money and found that the Russians produced an excellent light meter which was called a 'Leningrad 4a' or 4. They were less than £10 and excellent to use whether you used a Minolta or other high end SLR or a Zenit or Praktica at the reasonable price point which made serious photography open to everybody. Try to see if you can buy a Soviet light meter now 2nd hand and you will be well served.
Excellent video! Very informative. I'm itching to get my hands on medium format +, and this video doesn't restrain my addiction to photography at all. Haha! Thanks for sharing! We are all looking forward to the colour film shots and of course some new video's. :)
I usually find it easier to load 35mm cameras by putting the leader into the winder shaft before I put the canister in. Put the leader in and the pull the canister to the left side Great video!
***** I've just bought 10 rolls of Agfapan APX 100 with 12 shots per roll at a local flea market. Didn't recognize it was 12 shots per roll until I've put one in my camera last week.
excellent video. i am sure there will be some younger guys awestruck at this technology. I am sure you could make this video in parts, cover things in greater detail. Its the quickest 14 min vid I have watch, but thats because I am interested
David Spector They're not made anymore...20 years or so ago, they were the rage, along with the zone vi darkroom equipment, that looked as if it was probably better than anything else on the market...(except for omega) .You could get one that you could mount flush to the wall,. I had my eyes on this equipment for a long time, but just couldn't afford it. OH...the enlarger had LEDs in the enlarger head,. and with a device to control the amount of current going to each one, controlling it's brightness. That said, I still prefer a Speed Graphic over any camera.
David Spector I totally drooled when I saw that. I second the Tachihara, though even that is out of my budget! I eventually bought a used Calumet 4x5 from a photo student for less than $50. Then I bought used Schneider and Rodenstock lenses, extra used lens boards and a dozen used double film holders. Total cost $275. The bargains are out there if you don't mind sacrificing beauty for function.
I think that if you guys focus more on film reviews, it will really set you apart from the other film photography channels. Other channels tend to focus more on gear and lenses. I'd like something different. I wish your channel great success!
Velvia is a high contrast film so not good for the bright condition you were shooting in, a negative film like ektar would of worked well in bright conditions. Nice to see younger ppl experimenting with film though, keep it up.
I am form India (we are technologically retarded, no matter what the media says) and retired person. I loved to shoot films in my young days. I had the idea film was completely dead at the wake of digital era. I always longed to see the old technology revived as it would teach modern youth the sweet music of the film that the digital ones do not have. I feel uplifted to see film again and it makes me wonder if I was wrong all the years about the film-extinction or it is making a come back like the LP vinyl records--my another heart-throb? I await your response with great curiosity.
***** I have seen younger people who decided to return to film or to shoot film occasionally. I also doubt that film will return to become as popular as it used to be, but the trend appears to be use of film as an art form, as well as fun hobby.
God bless the youth. May be their outcry will bring back the film, gramophone, Viewmaster, 8mm movie......and the entire goodness that was a reality on this planet--once upon a time. I am not a forecaster but only a dreamer. Forgive me if you feel my words as an intrusion.
How does the film generate a picture even though the film has already been exposed to light when he was feeding it into the camera. Btw I'm new to film
yeah but when he loaded the canister film in the first couple inches of film and that was exposed to light. does the film that is still in the canister used or is that film that was exposed to light used. sorry if that was confusing.
gavin farrell Those firs couple of inches were in fact exposed during loading and, let's say, ruined. That's why you have to take a couple of shots of nothing in particular before taking your important exposures - wind that exposed film to the take-up spool and pull out fresh, unexposed film from the canister. That's just the way 35mm film works
Obviously you are new to film photography(that's what we old schooll film photographers call it,as opposed to the new term 'analog' photography :-) but here's a useful tip, it is good practice to load film,specially rollfilm, in the shade.:-)
Compare 3 format, 3 sizes seem to be the point of this video. You left us with short segment at the end of the video for the actual comparisons. But unfortunately we didn't get a chance to "see" the pictures because you choose a constantly moving and zooming-in gimmick. Next time you put in so much effort to "demo" something give the viewer time to truly see the result of your efforts and avoid the gimmicky stuff.

I grew up with and learned film photography. I love film photography. I will shoot film as long as film is sold. Great video.
Very well done video. I'm glad there are still people engaging in film use. I love the the younger generation is reaching for and embracing film and including it as another medium in the art form. Long live film!
"If we do it quickly, it'll be fine." idk, man light is pretty fast.
120 light leak isn't through the paper; it's from the edges where the paper can fail to make a fully tight light seal with the end of the spool. Good technique isn't an approximation, particularly if you know better.
I remember watching this video a year ago. Didn't realize back then there were more episodes to watch. I'm going to really enjoy this. Thank you, well done Film.
It was very fun watching this. I grew up on the island and can't believe I'm watching this from Asia now. Thanks for making this.
I try to figure out how some people can dislike this video, seriously. - Well done guys #KeepFilmAlive
You are awesome for making this. So detailed and informative. I have been shooting film for about a year or so and I learned a lot from this. Thank you sir
This video reminds me of when I was a school patrol and at the end of the year we would go to a water slide as a reward. Ultimately a waste of time and unfulfilled.
+Dmitrii Scurtu you're a waste of time and unfulfilling.
I own a Pentax 6x7 as well. Fantastic camera. The 105mm 2.4 is a super sharp lens, even when shot wide open.
Thanks for posting your film.
I too am starting to use film again.
It will not replace digital, just a unique experience.
***** By the way....
Nice film. Thumbs up to your director, sound man and editor! :)
The only drawback to the 6x7 is the massive mirror slap, which is why I'm glad I have the MLU version.
I bought a waist level finder for mine a while back. It's way brighter than the metered prism, and makes tripod work a lot easier on the neck and eyes!
Nice video guys, great to see film still going strong! i have a few 620 Box brownies and a few 35mm Canon and pentax cameras!
Love these videos. Super informative and interesting.
Nice video. You must had a great trip. Can I have a question? If I use a. Kodak 200 film, I shouldn't use higher or lower iso?
Very good to see that the younger generation still like to use film, I have recently re taken up using film in my case Ilford FP4 I still use digital but in many ways using film in cameras with fixed local length lenses limits ones flexibility but that makes in more of a challenge and in a strange way more enjoyable.....................I hope that makes sense?

the FM2 feels good and has a lovely shutter sound. I'd love a Pentax 67, looks lovely.
Inserting film in the camera in broad sunlight is not a good idea. And when using the 4 X 5'' camera, don't forget to pull out the dark slide prior to pressing the cable release.
i guess he was just showing the function of the lens.

Awesome video! I have just recently started film photography and this helped a lot.
Looking forward to it!
Loved the last shot, awesome.

Its so cool to see a youtuber from Vancouver!
Great video..And Thank You for taken the time to do this wonderful video and share with us.
Please do more
Really can you send me those links
I have been using film camera for almost 2 years, I have least experiences so thanks for this video :)
I'm using canon AE1 which is very common. I love taking black and white photo, My first roll is kinda cool, I love it so much. I hope can watch more Video of you guys making black and white photo, and show us more technic so that i can learn from you guys.
The 35 MM shots were mostly out of focus :(
The tilt-shift shot of the bridge was pretty cool though.
the only usable picture.
I think most all were in focus. The compression of video upload makes them appear out of focus and blurry. And of course it's 35mm.
In the UK you can get Agfa Vista 200 35mm film from Poundland so it's a pound for a 24 shot roll. Can't go wrong with it.

You have to be careful tough! To be fair, this film is quite unforgiving with exposures, and will look a bit... blue? it is not too bad, if you are just shooting, probably is 95% of time, it is more than enough because of the price-quality ratio. But if you go to a wedding or on a special occasion, you might want to use that £5-6 film you need to save and to make sure every photo is perfect and with good colour.

enjoyed this video very interesting film formats would have loved to see a close up of the baby bear face :)
I have a Nikon F2A Photomic, and i was wondering how good of a camera is that, since it was passed down to me by my grandfather
So do you set the same iso the film box number says?
What lenses do you use with the Pentax? Will Pentax Kmount lenses fit? Btw great video!
Ok thanks!
film is majestic, can you give an advice on which light meter to use?

good video guys, but OMG is this your first time loading film?!)
Really like this video ! thanks a lot . and amazing pictures.
will color film still be around the next 10-15 years?

Nice video. Love the Pentax 67 camera. Did you miss including 120 film pictures or did I miss it?
Which camera would you recommend for a beginner analog lover
Being a bit nitpicky here, but there are 12 exposure rolls of 35mm as well.
Sorry, I left out "35mm" in my original comment, and looks like you saw the comment before I edited it in :P
Great video though.

Interesting. I didn't know they still make wide format cameras.
Thank you for the great video... Just bought a FM2 and I have a question: what type of case you use for that camera?
Which cameras did you used for taking photos uploaded on Fliker website??
By any chance would you know of any place in Canada that i could get a Pentax 67 service.
That zone six camera is a beauty. I need to find one for myself.

I think that if you guys focus more on film reviews, it will really set you apart from the other film photography channels.
Other channels tend to focus more on gear and lenses.
I'd like something different.
I wish your channel great success!
was this a "scheiße" at 6:02 ?
Stefan Litster i also did :D hallo aus Köln ;)
How sure are you Analog still recommended for use now?
brilliant guys great original content!
I just got a medium format TLR, where could i find a taking spool since it'll be my first roll to shoot?
Thanks
I have tri x 400 black and white so what's my ISO has to be?
Great video. Was the rocky beach you were shooting from China or French beach? :)
very cool, thanks again for the video, it was a lot of fun to watch
Velvia is a high contrast film so not good for the bright condition you were shooting in, a negative film like ektar would of worked well in bright conditions. Nice to see younger ppl experimenting with film though, keep it up.
Did you guys rent the equipment? If so, where did you get it?
hello friend, great video! how did you recorded this video? i mean it looks great what was the camera set up and the video editing in post

love this video found it on reddit. i have a nikon f3 and knew many thibgs already that you talked about. but i learnt a lot too!!
Do you have relations to germany? Lovely video btw.
+Stefan Weiberg haha, hab ich garnicht mitgekriegt.
how do you get your pictures onto a computer if your shooting film? sorry i'm new to all this and want to get into shooting film, thanks
***** Thank you so much, i just searched online and found a canon flat bed scanner and i think it will do the job. You really help man, thanks
I am form India (we are technologically retarded, no matter what the media says) and retired person. I loved to shoot films in my young days. I had the idea film was completely dead at the wake of digital era. I always longed to see the old technology revived as it would teach modern youth the sweet music of the film that the digital ones do not have.
I feel uplifted to see film again and it makes me wonder if I was wrong all the years about the film-extinction or it is making a come back like the LP vinyl records--my another heart-throb? I await your response with great curiosity.
***** Thanks brother for the reply. I wish you (and other like-minds) many colorful days and years with the magic of the old-world!
***** I have seen younger people who decided to return to film or to shoot film occasionally. I also doubt that film will return to become as popular as it used to be, but the trend appears to be use of film as an art form, as well as fun hobby.
God bless the youth. May be their outcry will bring back the film, gramophone, Viewmaster, 8mm movie......and the entire goodness that was a reality on this planet--once upon a time. I am not a forecaster but only a dreamer. Forgive me if you feel my words as an intrusion.
Hi! Could I ask you what kind of boxes are these at 1:57? thanks
Velvia? Produces TRUE colours? Ahah nice one xD
Very awesome !!!
that Pentax 67 is beautiful
sadly it vibrates too much, thus slow exposures are not easy. I sold mine and stayed with the mamiya rb67
what all did you use to film this? thanks.
Do you develop the old fashioned style or technical
never mind i was being stupid
wow! youre picture are great!
Where are the pictures from medium format velvia?
How does the film generate a picture even though the film has already been exposed to light when he was feeding it into the camera. Btw I'm new to film
yeah but when he loaded the canister film in the first couple inches of film and that was exposed to light. does the film that is still in the canister used or is that film that was exposed to light used. sorry if that was confusing.
gavin farrell Those firs couple of inches were in fact exposed during loading and, let's say, ruined. That's why you have to take a couple of shots of nothing in particular before taking your important exposures - wind that exposed film to the take-up spool and pull out fresh, unexposed film from the canister. That's just the way 35mm film works
oh ok thank you that helped alot
The velvia 120 is really nice
I have a Pentax ME Super. I love film photography
+Bridie McGowan My compliments on your camera. I used to have one of those, wonderful camera.
what is the medium format camera on the video?
So you got really expensive stuff and material, but you can't even load the film properly into the camera. Jesus...
What kind of case was the 35mm Nikon camera in?
Disregard this comment i just read someone ask the same question.
So you taught just how not to load those...nice!
Yeah. In bright Sunlight… That's a no-no!
at least he didn´t load the 4x5 on spot.
push the 5x4 Film holder further in and pull the sheath out. Shoot then put the sheath back black edge out.
Amazing Video.
what Light Meter did you use?
Amazing !
Hi, What model peli case is the FM2 in please?
Obviously you are new to film photography(that's what we old schooll film photographers call it,as opposed to the new term 'analog' photography :-) but here's a useful tip, it is good practice to load film,specially rollfilm, in the shade.:-)
yep thats what i thought.
What case did you use for the Pentax 67?
Thanks! I was looking for a case for my hasselblad, do you have any recommendations?
Awesome, thanks! Hopefully I can find one that fits in a backpack. In think one of the 1400 series may work, or 1300, can't remember
Where did you buy these cameras
Compare 3 format, 3 sizes seem to be the point of this video. You left us with short segment at the end of the video for the actual comparisons. But unfortunately we didn't get a chance to "see" the pictures because you choose a constantly moving and zooming-in gimmick. Next time you put in so much effort to "demo" something give the viewer time to truly see the result of your efforts and avoid the gimmicky stuff.
