$5.80/roll on B&H! Time to shotgun some beers!
LOL! Like we need an excuse!
@@bobsykes True!!
$4.99/roll from Film Photography Project. Might need to make that three beers. 🍻
@@Negron.Reuben Oh my lanta
€7.60/Roll compared to €7/Roll of HP5 and €8 for Delta 400 here in Germany.
Hell yeah! Good to see another film that’s affordable and now available in two formats! Makes the market more competitive📸🎞👌🏼
Indeed. Good news for film photographers!
just as i was about to throw in the towel on film... a new one pops up 🙂 liking those indoor portraits ✨
Haha might as well give it a try! I’m a fan of the look. Keen to shoot with it a bit more.
Great video. Whilst I shoot 35mm it is good anytime a film company expands their line - competition is usually good for consumers and hopefully the rise in film prices will soon level off. Although I haven't visited Tacoma and the area since 2011, there is much to photograph there. I am pushing 70 yrs old but found parts of Tacoma stuck in a funky time warp that's easy to appreciate.
Thanks for the comment, Steve. Definitely good news for film photographers. Cheers!
That photo of the cat 🐈 was the best!
Loved that one as well, thank you!
🐐
❤️
Those stocks render skin tones nicely, cool to see they’re available in more formats. I don’t blame you for using the rest of the roll on the cat!
Haha I had to! Cheers dude
Love to see it! Looks pretty close to how I like my B&W photos too. Great shots, go get you some of them Pre rolls👌
Haha need those Ilford pre rolls!
Holla at us when Ilford blesses you with those 120mm prerolls to check out 😂
🤣
Nice to see a Bronica back between those paws! Another great video Dad!
Haha thank you!
Quite a challenge using black & white film at the most colorful time of the year. Looks pretty damn good thought. I have to test this out too.
Haha tell me about it!
The 100 speed Kentmere in Perceptol gives good tonal values and fine grain...and the price (even in CH) is very reasonable.
One of my go-to black and white film stocks for 35mm. Ilford makin moves 🔥
Definitely wanna try it in 35mm now!
Can’t wait to get my pre-rolls 😜
💨
Old Town Tacoma in the autumn once again does not disappoint. Five minutes before watching this I ordered 8 rolls 35 and 120 Kentmere 100/400. While the Pentax 67 is out for repair it's time to test a new to me 70 year old Canon L1 and an Argus C3. Bringing in a film in this price range has me also ready to try some home developing (Speedy ePhoto will still be my local go to developer though).
=[[[[[[[[[
Love it! Enjoy shooting those new cameras! Was hoping this snow would stick around a little longer for some for some photo walks!
I’m a simple man. I see a new vid by Brae, I click.
❤️
Got a few rolls of Kent 100 and 400 to use and looking forward to trying them, but HP5 and FP4 are so good its going to be hard to make the change. Not used delta that much (shot a few rolls of Delta 100 but wasn't wowed enough to use it more) but find Hp5/FP4 very good value already. In the UK HP5 seems to be around £6.75 and Kent 400 £5.5 so about 20% cheaper, Delta 400 by comparison is £8.00! Shoot on a Hasselblad 501cm, generally 80mm F2.8 if that matters...
Looks great, plenty of detail and fine grain!
...and of course here in Italy the 35mm goes for 10€ a piece...
Anyway, I know I keep telling you, but your portraits are always great!
Thank you! And dang that’s a rough price for Kentmere 😅 hopefully 120 is a bit more affordable
Barbershop photo is soo cool !!
Thank you!
Really appreciated this vid and especially that look at Kentmere 400. Maybe you should test Kentmere 100 in the Pentax, I think your Bronica back's light seals are going and that could affect the contrast
I agree. I actually looked at the seals before loading and they looked a bit deteriorated. Will for sure put some 100 through the Pentax. Thanks for the comment!
I need to learn how to walk around town and get photos the way you do. I can't ever seem find any motivation on walks around my town. I know I live in a picturesque little town with the mountain in the background a lot, I just can't seem to find the right way to capture it.
im sorry but WOW all those indoor shots turned out amazing! Great job!
+ the contrast of the overall image at 5:54, smoooooooth!
Thank you!
He likes the stock. ❤

Already got 10 rolls of 400 coming. Stoked about this
Let's go!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I shoot mostly b&w films from Kodak, Ilford and Fomapan. Seeing the results from this film, I am impressed. I will definitely spend money on this film, especially at the affordable price. I have not shot on Kentmere before, and think I might be missing out not doing so. It would be even more awesome if they would market a 220 version of this film, like old times. Frequent changing of rolls in the field is cumbersome.
A new 220 film would be rad!
The fall colors would have been great in color :)
I know :')
I usually prefer color film, especially with the kind of natural subjects I like to photograph, but I like to process my film at home rather than send it off to a lab. It's less effort to process B&W film, especially when I can stand develop it, but that usually results in less contrast. I think the more urban areas would look better on B&W, like maybe closer to downtown, while there's a lot of colorful autumn foliage that would look better on color film. I almost feel like going down to Tacoma again, but I can't exactly find a reason to make the hour or so drive down there unless I'm going for an event or Amazon Flex sends me down there to deliver a few packages
I have had amazing results with this film in 135.
I have been wishing for them to bring it out in 120
Woop
Christmas came early!
Awesome video! 👊🏼 itching to take pics out in Washington again!
Thanks dude!
Let's gooo
👊🏻
The grain on the 400 looks really nice. Have you made a video using it in 35mm? And at the shotgun beer price above, you're not kidding, that's an awesome deal!
I haven't! I've actually never shot it in 35mm. Definitely going to give it a try!
Definitely my favourite photo right there. 7:31. It's an awesome film stock it seems, and taking into consideration it is easy to develop as well, and not that expensive, it's a no brainer it's going to sell. Also, how anxious did you feel with all those autumn colors around shooting B&W? 😅
Haha I might have had a bad case of FOMO that day 😂
yeeee
🤠
great photos! curious how wide open you were shooting for the portraits? it seems like quite a bright day
Outdoor portraits were all at f/4 and indoor were f/2.4!
Gotta get me some of those prerolls plz
haha oh yes indeed
Great video!
Especially loved the indoor 67 shots.
I'm not trying to be mean, but provide a possible explanation. When talking about the SQ-A's lightmeter "...it was telling me to shoot at 1/15th...resulted in a not-so-sharp image"
If I understand correctly -- you're saying the blurriness is caused by overexposure?
That's not what went wrong and it's due to shooting from the hand at a slower shutterspeed. The wider the lens, the slower you can shoot -- as a rule. But 1/30th is usually the slowest anyone should shoot when handholding.
Thanks!
And that is what I was saying. The light meter tends to over expose images, resulting in it telling me to shoot at a slower shutter speed. Shooting handheld at the slower shutter speed (1/30th) is the reason why the image is blurry. That's what I explain in the video when I say that I shot the image at 1/30th of a second.
illford prerolls for the win lol
😮💨
Yeah, time to get into medium format as it offers a much better quality/price ratio than 35mm.
35mm is still cheaper. a roll of kentmere in 35mm is about the same price as a roll of 120 but you get 36 exposures in 35. If you want the same aspect ratio as 35 in 120 you will get 8 pictures per roll.
Dude, Kodak pre rolls would absolutely wipe the floor clean.
Need some of that 🥵
smoking that ilford pack 😂
😮💨
what's the lightmeter app ya'll using?
MyLightMeter Pro
I have a totally unrelated question. You're backpack is made by MOSISO? I'm serching a backpack for my heavy 67 kit (67+tak 55+165 2.8) and I'm wondering which would be the best.
Yeah that Mosiso one was just the cheapest, decent looking bag I found on Amazon. It's pretty solid for casual use and holds a lot of stuff! If you want a better quality bag that's better for travel, I recommend Shimoda Design.
Check if her pressure plate is at 12 rather than 24 exposures 2:32
Yeah it was at 12exp. Thanks for the tip though!
Hey Brae is your website still up? I've been trying to see your portfolio for about a week now and it's not bringing up.
Anyways thank you for inspiring me and others with your adventures and photos. Have a great day bro
Oh dang, just saw that it's down! Thanks for letting me know. I'll have it back up shortly.
One of the stores near me is selling HP5 for about $5.99. How do you like the Kentmere compared to HP5?
Oh dang that’s really solid! I like Kentmere a bit more personally because I like the extra contrast, but Hp5 likely has more exposure latitude and you can always add contrast or refine your look in post
@@BraeHunziker Thank you! Another great video by the way!
I bought a 100' bulk roll of K400 in 35mm and I'm so unhappy with it. Lacks contrast and looks super flat. I've tried both Rodinal and Cinestill DF96 and it looks like garbage.
I was unhappy with it too. For cheap 35mm I'm sticking with fomapan.
2:12 It is so cute to see Ukrainian flag on the house in United States. Thanks to the people for support 💙💛
❤️
so nothing goes without mention the most corrupt country in the world, yes in the world
@@aantonic well, you can judge about corruption of the country looking at its army. Ukrainian army is strong. After Ukrainian victory I want you to visit my country, speak with my people, look at our style of life. And you will judge about is my country “most corrupt country in the world” or your words are just a lie you are trying to repeat watching russia today or fox news. Dude, be more kind. Ukrainians did nothing bad to you.
So, they sent you the film, knowing you’d make a video anyway since it’s a new film, and you’d jump on the opportunity to put the video out asap, so they didn’t need to offer sponsorship? Got it
This is a common practice in marketing.
lmao both parties are benefitting in a common marketing technique
Something being common doesn’t make it fair. With these numbers it is not a fair exchange - any online marketing person would tell you that. 20-40k views on a video do not bring nearly as much revenue to a video creator, even proportionally as they do to a product manufacturer. Not to mention it is a cheap product and a perishable (which is unthinkable to be provide a sponsorship offer for). A lot of practices are unfair and unethical, just because they are common doesn’t mean they should be normalized even further. Video creators put in tremendous amount of work, creativity and time into these videos - so if you support these creators, I’d assume you would advocate for them, not against them and their hard work, time and creativity. It’s normal to refuse a sponsorship or a conmpenaation for this sort of work, but to not be offered any is questionable, however common it may be.
@@alexv8024 I understand your point, but obviously Brae found this transaction to be beneficial to him, as he wouldn't have took the opportunity had it presented itself. He's not an idiot, he knows what he's doing and how to navigate this landscape. This video is the 1st ( I think) of what I would assume would be a lasting relationship with Ilford, which will unlock much more opportunities through patience rather than driving away future opportunities for chasing a bag for a single video.
As a content creator myself, having the eyes of Ilford on my work enough for them to send out some free film, would be so exciting for me, regardless if I'm benefitting monetarily from it right this very moment.
Your comment comes across as belittling to the content creator, who's seemingly "NoT TaKiNG ADvAnTaGe oF HiS OpPoRtuNiTIes".
No belittling at all. Just a comment on illford marketing practices. Like I said the only issue is the fact that they didn’t offer creators a decent exchange. My whole point is that creators are not in a position to not make a video - that’s what a company like illford is taking advantage of. There wasn’t a transaction, that’s the whole point, illford knows creators will make free advertisement, high quality advertisement. There’s no agreement there and that is very smart on illford a part, there’s no long lasting relationship either. They do nothing, send off film to UA-camrs and wait for free promotion they know they will get. There’s no actual relationship involved - what’s the benefit for the video creators? They will get another new film stock in 2-3 years and make another free ad for illford? Video creators can make videos with or without new film stock dropping and still get similar number of views. In this scenario only illford actually wins, video creators however, with no contract, no benefits, no sponsorship put in days of work for these companies. This is not a common practice, not in a way it’s been going for the past few years. Film companies, are coming back enough to introduce new film stock. They are not startups - they are successful businesses, considering demand for film. I can call into question unfair and unethical business practices and not attack anyone’s intellegence. It’s when people start defending these companies and talking about how common these practices are (they aren’t ) where problems really come from.
