I used to develop film at a local Walgreens. If you have any stores in your area that still have film development on site, you can bring in a camera with damaged edges and they can recover the film. If they're skilled enough. We had a black box and substitute film canisters i would use. Put everything in the box, seal the light out and work 100% by feel. I would take the disposable roll out of the camera, peel open the metal body to get the center spindle, hand wind the film back on it, and then put it in our canister that was a black plastic clam shell. From there it can be developed as a normal roll. After development is done, repairs can be done as needed in normal lighting.
What model is the Retina? I used to shoot with my father's Retina 2A that he got when he was in Germany during the Korean war. I hated that camera cuz it didn't have a meter in it.
Hey Scott little tip from a film camera collector, usually on the winder side there is a button at the bottom to release the winder so it can spin freely. Hope this helps for your camera.
I actually had my high school photography class with film cameras(school did not have a huge budget). Was actually able to learn more about light sensitivity, focus, exposure and developing thanks to that.
No no no, He said “ *_I’m still shocked_* they make film.” He’s not denying it’s use, He’s saying he is surprised that they still make it, But that he shouldn’t be. He knows he shouldn’t be surprised, Because he knows that people still like to use film.
I’m a little surprised they still make film, but I’m glad they do. Hobby community it’s something I’ve been meaning to get into. I would love it if I could find movie film for a short film.
I am suprised that people here are so suprised that film is still made. First of all art photography i would say widely uses it and come back to it, since it has different way of capturing than digital cameras and secondly since people are always coming back to old stuff like vinyls quite a few people work with film as a hobby. Since the usage never really died out, they didn't have a reason to stop making it. Wow this is long paragraph and i am not even sure if it makes sense.
I went to an art high school for photography and we took pictures and developed photos with cameras like this. Kinda fun, sometimes made me have mental breakdowns, always expensive as hell. But I'm glad I did it cause like the future generations will probably not do it and one day if I speak about the process to my grandchildren they will look at me like I witnessed the birth of the universe itself
My film camera has a button on the underside to unlock the film. You need to press and hold it while rewinding it. Rewinding should be a lot easier as well
Those were the photos from his modern digital camera. All the photos he took on the film camera were destroyed when he accidentally tore the film and had to open the back.
@@quokka_ytthe film has already been exposed when he opened the camera and saw the ripped film. Sad to say that it’s ruined for good. If he developed it, none of the photos he shot would turn out
No, film does not have the best resolution. Not even close. Especially if we talk about measurements like mft resolution. What you probably confuse with film having better resolution is that extremely large formats like 70mm IMAX having more resolution than any other cinema format, which is true, you are looking at the supposed equivalent of around 18K with that. But that is only for motion picture and not due to the sensors not keeping up, but because of the immense amount of data being captured every second. For stills resolution at the same format is drastically lower with film, especially with modern 40, 50 or even 60 megapixel full frame sensors there is no comparison between the two. I usually scan my film at about 3600 DPI giving me about 17 megapixels of file size and I reckon that is about the maximum resolution the film holds, going up to 7200 DPI gives me sharper grain, but no more detail in the image itself. Even my ten year old D3300 with a crop sensor out resolves 35mm film and quite easily so.
A lot of people still use film cameras due to the special quality of images they create! The warmth and balance of the photos are difficult to recreate digitally, but they’re definitely more of a novelty
Photoshop could do so much more other than just warm and balance But let's be honest, people love nostalgic thing. Especially when they developed the film themselves. Which is another set of skill
There is a particular graininess to film, which is still somewhat difficult to fully replicate digitally. I seem to recall Tom Scott having made a video about it at some point if anyone wants to look up the details.
As someone who used to run a photo lab, I have a solution to your problem. They make dark boxes that let you open the camera with out exposing the film to light. If you have a malfunction, you can put the camera in the box, (and with a little coordination, you can’t actually see what you’re doing) you can get the film out without the risk of ruining the photos. Sadly it’s a dying medium. Most places are going to send it off and you’ll get the digital scans of the negative (now made positive) and won’t actually get the film back.
I had a photo lab and we would have a steady stream of customers who had snapped the film by over-winding, or by not releasing the take-up spool. We had a dark box for re-spooling the cassette. If they were adamant they had not opened the back, they would be surprised when I said, 'someone has opened it.' The simple 'tell' was that the counter would flip back to zero..
I used to just use a windowless room where my father did his film development . No longer have those houses but I have a room I could darken if needed . But yeah, releasing the things that would block winding is definitely a step, though on my 35mm camera it's done on top not on bottom, but it's not a Kodak .
Schiller's camera will give you the negatives back, and having them scanned is optional and if you decide to scan there's a choice between flash drive, CD, or both. You can also request push processing for the development itself. They will not scan 110 film though, only develop it and give you the negatives. If you want to scan negatives at home, there's a variety of tutorials and it can be done with a dedicated film scanner or a digital camera plus a couple extra tools you may already have.
As a relatively young hobby photographer (27), shooting film is fun and is a breath of fresh air as I never had to and my life is mostly digital. Having to be cautious with your shots and not knowing how a picture will turn out is exciting. Also the mechanics in my camera from the 60s is awesome. It basically works without power if you can live without the light-meter, which is awesome.
The second picture of the doll reminded me of a doll I used to have when I was little! It's soo cute and I think it's really nice when art or photography brings you back memories of your childhood 💖
As someone who knows nothing about photography or cameras but thinks it's a very cool hobby, your explorational dips into this are wonderful!!! Gives me the tiniest insight and I love to read the encouraging comments from more experienced film fans. Also the pictures you took bring a lot of joy as well 🥰
I am definitely not an artist, however the only art form I indulge in is film photography. I love it, it truly makes me happy. I think your a fantastic artist not just because you paint beautiful pieces, but you can make me, an amateur “photographer” inspired to go out and shoot film even from your paintings. You know your a fantastic artist when your influence cause inspiration not just in your own art field but another. Thankyou my friend :)
That takes me back. My mother used to have a film camera. I remember having to actually go somewhere and wait for the professionals to develop the photos. She used to keep film in the freezer, and I distinctly recall a picture somewhere of me and some other family members with a big streak in the middle from the camera's strap still being in motion in front of the lens during exposure. We have a lot of old film photos, especially from Christmases, birthdays, and the first few days of the oldest two kids' (me and my little sister) lives. I miss film for one specific reason, which is that people used to not take pictures of everything all tbe time, seeing as film and development cost money. Now you almost can't go anywhere without accidentally getting caught in someone else's photos.
Beautiful pictures!! I think your film ripped because it didn't release before you tried to wind it back into the canister, usually there's a button or something to release the film before winding it back into the canister. I don't know this exact camera so I'm not sure where it would be or what it would look like.
That's pretty funny, I got into film a couple months ago and made the same exact mistake with one of my first rolls! It's so disappointing to mess up a roll. Though I encourage you to continue, ive found a lot of joy in shooting film again, I found it slowed down my photo taking tendencies and gave me more photos that I found memorable!
Being 42 and seeing the transition from film to digital, I still see film as an art form and the mistakes and unknowns make it kind of fun. I’ll never miss a vacations worth of photos being ruined but I still like the idea
Film cameras are still so much cooler than digital to me. I was born in the early 2000s, so film was largely in the past, but I still got a lot of experience with it through my aunt! And then, in my senior year, I took the photography course my school offered. And there was a dark room! An honest to god actual dark room, with enlargers and safelights and an entire wall for the development process. Everyone got a couple days with a camera to take pictures, and then we spent a week developing, making contact sheets, doing test strips, printing and enlarging. It was so much fun, and I’m still so happy I had the opportunity to go through the whole process.
I'm 28 and have shot film the last decade. Honestly I love it because it slows life down a bit. I see some older generations who feel like using film is a waste of time or money because digital is so much easier, but as someone who grew up right as the world was slowly transitioning to digital in all aspects of our lives, things like film photography or vinyl records give me a hobby to slow down and enjoy the art. It's been huge for me to learn about and experience capturing the world around me with more a little more thought, only having so many frames.
So great to see people joining the film community I love using film. I never grew up with it but when I found out it was still available today I gave it a shot and never looked back.
I love the videos this guy makes. I don't mean to sound like I'm insulting you, but these videos are just a nice old man reliving what he loved about his younger years. And showing what he sees in people through his artwork. As an art student, I very much enjoy this feeling. Very wholesome.
Film photography is a community that's alive. Especially with recent trends on wanting to recreate the vintage feels of pictures, a lot of photographers have either decided to try out film for the first time or go back to using film photography in some cases. Although the commercial machines that professionally recreate film shots into enlarged picture are no longer being produced
The photos of Esmeralda came out phenomenal. My favorite class in grad school was black and white photography with a 35MM Nikon camera. I didn’t realize how much you could do with chemistry. It was a lot of fun. Printmaking was fun too.
I just wanted to say, your art inspires me Since I started watching your videos I have drawn every day I have made so much progress in art and I feel si much more confident in my drawing then ever before, there for I thank you 😅
That was actually my first camera that I used back in High School and what started my hobby for photography. Over the years I've collected Bell and Howell cameras, 1970s Yashica Elctra, and one from the USSR.
Hey Scott little tip from a film camera collector, usually on the winder side there is a button at the bottom to release the winder so it can spin freely. Hope this helps for your
Gotta admit, i like your style, the shirt, the glasses, the hat, looks good and as an aspiring photographer myself this video was actually rather interesting
The reason they still make film is because its a film photography never ending industry, and its on rise again. there's a lot of film photographers either professional or casual ones that like the look of it and still using it on a daily basis ❤
It's the wonderful thing about film cameras, baring any serious mechanical failure, and maybe with a little TLC, their photos will always be as good as the day they were made, no sensor wear or ADC breakdown, just a shutter opening and exposing the film!
They make film like that still for hobbyists and sometimes schools. I graduated in 2019 and my photography class used film cameras and a dark room. It gave me a lot of appreciation for photographers and tbh I enjoyed the process, staying after school by myself was relaxing. It was probably one of my favorite classes (we also had digital but that was the “next level up”)
I took a photography class in school where I learned every step of using a film camera, including processing the film and making the prints in a dark room and it was easily my favorite class I ever took. I also have an instax camera which is like a mini Polaroid in that it’s instant film and I love it. I got it for my birthday in middle school and I still take it on the occasional trip
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say you are my comfort UA-camr. I love your content and it always makes me happy and warm to see you make art or anything else, really. Many of your tips have helped me in my art journey, too. I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them!
OK Scott here’s what you need to know: there’s usually a little button at the bottom of those cameras that you push, and then usually there’s a little lever it will pop up or you can pull up, that lets you rewind the film. If you feel a lot of tension going on, you’ve missed something and are going to damage the film. Anytime you hear a rip or something doesn’t go right when you’re using your film, particularly after you’ve done exposures, then the procedure is to stop whatever you’re doing, pop the lever back down into place, and take the whole works into the developer. They will have a dark box that they can put the camera into, and the technician will be able to open up the camera and rewind your film for you, to process. I sure hope this helps. You did show some photographs, so I’m guessing that those were from a different camera or that you closed the camera back up and took it in and were able to salvage a few frames.
I studied graphic design in college and I had like a full year of analog photography. This video gave me PTSD of all the rolls I had to buy and some were ruined by expired chemicals in the reveal lab
Pretty sure Kodak specifically still makes film for this exact purpose, collectors and hobbyists. Shooting with old cameras is still a pretty big hobby for many
You know I know it's a digital age but there's still nothing like the warmth and the clarity of film if done right digital can't hold a candle to it really enjoyed the video thank you
Film is very high in resolution! A 35mm film is roughly equivalent to 6K by digital standards. Plus, higher-end cameras are obviously more suited, with the best lenses and settings.
Yup they definitely still make film! I have a Canon EOS Rebel S (made in 1990) and it takes 35mm film. Fact is, film is very expensive nowadays ($30 for a 3 pack). But my pictures turned out great! It used to be my grandmas camera but I’ve found it and restored it and it still works perfectly.
So I got an old Cannon AE-1 with a few large lenses, what I think are filters, and all owners manuals and books and a Sears Ff 35 from my grandpa when one of his brothers passed away. I have yet to use it but I'm excited to try it out. I grew up using a film camera but never ever with something so expensive.
I suddenly got reminded of my kids days like 10 years a ago or so when I made a rocket with these film doses with citrus juice and baking soda or sum else, thanks dude that was precious
i love film photography, it’s the only photography i do and it’s nothing more than a hobby. if you get into it enough it’s pretty easy to develop black and white photos. colored photo processing is more expensive but your local classified probably have everything but the chemicals to process black and white photos
For anyone wanting to see the developed film (I tried again after this fiasco)...

I used to develop film at a local Walgreens.
If you have any stores in your area that still have film development on site, you can bring in a camera with damaged edges and they can recover the film. If they're skilled enough.
We had a black box and substitute film canisters i would use. Put everything in the box, seal the light out and work 100% by feel. I would take the disposable roll out of the camera, peel open the metal body to get the center spindle, hand wind the film back on it, and then put it in our canister that was a black plastic clam shell.

Same, we were given Pentax K-1000s with black and white film. I had a Canon AE-1 I used for the class. Fun class.
Yeah my high school photography class was film as well. We had to supply the cameras but it was really cool developing our own film in the dark room.
For example, when you wanna open the camera to inspect the film, do it in a dark room to not expose the film.
...you think digital cameras aren't affected by all of those?
i wish i paid attention in highschool film class. was too enticed by the field trips 😂
“I can’t believe they still make film. I don’t know why.”
That’s the saddest thing I’ve heard from a photographer in a very long time.
Likewise

Please, never stop uploading your videos are so cool and interesting!
Film just has the aesthetic that can never be reached with digital cameras
Gotta admit, i like your style, the shirt, the glasses, the hat, looks good and as an aspiring photographer myself this video was actually rather interesting
The retina has got to be the best kept secret in film photography, the glass and coating ok it is absolutely amazing
camera from 19 better than some phones worth lot money
The reason they still make film is because its a film photography never ending industry, and its on rise again. there's a lot of film photographers either professional or casual ones that like the look of it and still using it on a daily basis ❤
Saw that camera roll and had PTSD of into the radius
It's the wonderful thing about film cameras, baring any serious mechanical failure, and maybe with a little TLC, their photos will always be as good as the day they were made, no sensor wear or ADC breakdown, just a shutter opening and exposing the film!
They make film like that still for hobbyists and sometimes schools. I graduated in 2019 and my photography class used film cameras and a dark room. It gave me a lot of appreciation for photographers and tbh I enjoyed the process, staying after school by myself was relaxing. It was probably one of my favorite classes (we also had digital but that was the “next level up”)
I love how he never gets frustrated, he's so calm all the time, never grumpy, or angry. He's more calm than my entire family combined 💀
My family is 💀 danger
I love these type of cameras, same happened to me. I like the ones that make black and white pics. Definitely need part 2!
I took a photography class in school where I learned every step of using a film camera, including processing the film and making the prints in a dark room and it was easily my favorite class I ever took. I also have an instax camera which is like a mini Polaroid in that it’s instant film and I love it. I got it for my birthday in middle school and I still take it on the occasional trip
U seem so positive :)! You really inspire me and I appreciate your kindness so much
Oh my god those photos look so gooooood, i love the trees and the doggy 💕
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say you are my comfort UA-camr. I love your content and it always makes me happy and warm to see you make art or anything else, really. Many of your tips have helped me in my art journey, too. I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them!
NNOOOOOO THE CHOKED BACK SOB TONE IN HIS VOICE MAKES MY HEART BURN😭😭😭😭
Wow Pictures are still amazing with excellent quality and details.
OK Scott here’s what you need to know: there’s usually a little button at the bottom of those cameras that you push, and then usually there’s a little lever it will pop up or you can pull up, that lets you rewind the film.
If you feel a lot of tension going on, you’ve missed something and are going to damage the film.
Anytime you hear a rip or something doesn’t go right when you’re using your film, particularly after you’ve done exposures, then the procedure is to stop whatever you’re doing, pop the lever back down into place, and take the whole works into the developer. They will have a dark box that they can put the camera into, and the technician will be able to open up the camera and rewind your film for you, to process.
I sure hope this helps.
You did show some photographs, so I’m guessing that those were from a different camera or that you closed the camera back up and took it in and were able to salvage a few frames.
Keeping film alive and kickin
I studied graphic design in college and I had like a full year of analog photography. This video gave me PTSD of all the rolls I had to buy and some were ruined by expired chemicals in the reveal lab
It's far more modern than I thought it would be for the time like 1949 😮😮😮
Pretty sure Kodak specifically still makes film for this exact purpose, collectors and hobbyists. Shooting with old cameras is still a pretty big hobby for many
I adore your work!!
You're so talented.
Actually you inspired me to start painting again.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You know I know it's a digital age but there's still nothing like the warmth and the clarity of film if done right digital can't hold a candle to it really enjoyed the video thank you
Oh those sounds brings me back. Then the smells of developing film and print! Thank you!
I WAS WATCHING THIS AFTER THE FILM EXPIRED LOL
Im glad they still make film because the feel it gives to photos is something modern photography cant quite replicate. Its good practice as well
That camera from 1949 has better quality than my current phone😭💀
Film is very high in resolution! A 35mm film is roughly equivalent to 6K by digital standards. Plus, higher-end cameras are obviously more suited, with the best lenses and settings.
I hope they never stop making film it’s an art form to take and then develop your own photos
those are so gorgeous pictures you should draw some of them
OH NOOOO!😭 That's such a shame! The photo of the dog was so adorable too!❤️
film is great and taught me control and patience over what i shopt
Them pictures are actually really high quality for a camera made in 1949
Those pics are so beautiful
Little tipp
Some cameras have a rewind lock button at the bottom
Yup they definitely still make film! I have a Canon EOS Rebel S (made in 1990) and it takes 35mm film. Fact is, film is very expensive nowadays ($30 for a 3 pack). But my pictures turned out great! It used to be my grandmas camera but I’ve found it and restored it and it still works perfectly.
I'm so happy he actually used the camera growth shots by the way
So I got an old Cannon AE-1 with a few large lenses, what I think are filters, and all owners manuals and books and a Sears Ff 35 from my grandpa when one of his brothers passed away. I have yet to use it but I'm excited to try it out. I grew up using a film camera but never ever with something so expensive.
There may be a small button on the bottom of the camera to release the film before you rewind it. But it's still cool that you listened.
Film cameras are having a comeback bois
This man is not going anywhere until he learns every single type of art. I’m guessing next he will make a AAA game by himself.
You did better than I would've, I couldn't do it when it was original!
I suddenly got reminded of my kids days like 10 years a ago or so when I made a rocket with these film doses with citrus juice and baking soda or sum else, thanks dude that was precious
In high school, they taught us how to develop film in my photography class. I'm honestly disappointed I've never been able to use that skill since.
i love film photography, it’s the only photography i do and it’s nothing more than a hobby. if you get into it enough it’s pretty easy to develop black and white photos. colored photo processing is more expensive but your local classified probably have everything but the chemicals to process black and white photos
The retro loving community is why film is still being made.
This guy is so calming
pov: I’m here when the film expires
Wow! Those photos are great! Keep up the good work :)
