This is absolutely fun to watch all while learning so much. If I'm shooting more Kodak Gold 200 now, it's definitely influenced by you. All the best! (also this is the first time I ever commented on a film photography vlog because you are that good!)
Great video, man! From the quality and how relaxed you are on camera I expected you to be a much larger channel. I was surprised when I went to subscribe you’re around 3.5k. From the looks of it that’ll be changing soon!
I have one of those silly little Kodak film canister things that holds 5 rolls of film. It’s been helpful to keep all my film in one spot, ready to pop in my camera, and a spot to keep used rolls as well. Rather than having them roll around my bag wherever, they’re all in one spot :)
@@Anjroo I don’t mind the bulk, mostly because of the clicky sounds it gives haha! But I forgot it on my last couple weddings and shoots like an idiot and I noticed how much of a difference it made!
CT scanners will wreck film but old school xray scanners don't have much effect. The lead bags don't work. If the TSA guy cant see through it they can turn up the power on the scanner until they can, and if they can see your film its getting hit.
For 120 film, if you want to be even safer, I suggest to buy also film canisters for 120, they are pretty much identical to the 35mm canisters but they are longer to accomodate the height of 120 film, it's very useful to reduce light leaks on the border of the film, 120 if exposed to light can leak light on the edge of the frame, so they are even more safe this way.
Would love a video on the pano kit and how you use it since I have also been thinking about shooting panos but the only thing bothering me is the fact that you can’t rewind it into the cannister if you have another way I’d love to hear it !
Yes! I’ll make one! I know some people like to carry a dark bag with them, however since I like to travel I hate carrying unnecessary stuff. So I’ve been using two 35mm canisters, one as my “take up” roll. I usually will have to sacrifice my last frame when I open the camera, so I usually try to shoot duplicates when I know it’s getting close to the end!
To my eyes 120 and 35 don’t look the same at all. Maybe I’m going crazy 😂 but for 120 it’s my bread and butter! Love the results, and I will always pick it over more expensive film stocks 🙌🏼
From the thumbnail i would've expected a lot of useless crap... i was disappointed that's all pretty reasonable (although i don't really get the batteries they last forever), i've been shooting since the 70s and personally only ever had problem with X-Ray scanners once and that was at the Tehran Airport in the late 80s (although i constantly get pulled out of line and checked for drugs because they thing i smuggle drugs in the 35mm containers)

Omg I’m so flattered thank you so much 🥰
That hair elastic hack is all time. love it

Thank you so much! That means a lot ! 🥰

Oh yes! I have one too, but I dislike the bulk, maybe I need to find a plastic one 🤔

That’s a good idea!
I am a bit partial to the elastics simply because I develop my own film, and fiddling with tape in the dark is no fun 😂
I 3d print 120 canisters. They cost me almost nothing
I'd love to purchase the little light meter if thats a thing/ or diy it. Do you have a link for that?
It’s by Reveni Labs! :)
I love my gold 200. Some don’t like the warms but I vibe it.
I love it! Def my favorite color negative film!!!!
Would love a video on the pano kit and how you use it since I have also been thinking about shooting panos but the only thing bothering me is the fact that you can’t rewind it into the cannister if you have another way I’d love to hear it !

Thanks for the idea of hair ties on 120 film spools.
I carry along a little roll of masking tape. I have had rubber bands snap on me.
No prob! The real hero is my wife lol, she has hundreds of them and that’s what gave me the idea 😂😂😂
오 한국분이셨네요? 😮
Yes! But my Korean is really bad 😭
have you noticed any difference between gold on 35mm vs 120? ive heard the 120 version resolves alot more brown instead of gold tones

Are you able to share a link for the 3D printed light meter?
wonderful video! great taste in gear! Thanks for the recommendations
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Kodak gold always hits 🫡
Especially nice on the wallet 😂
Great video! Yes, give us a pano kit tutorial please 🥹
