This film really shines in bright sunlight. You are totally correct, it is horrible in dull light. I’m thinking this summer I will definitely be shooting a lot more colorplus.
Man, it's insane that you got those results! Great work. I also have an EOS 5 and never thought about trying colorplus due to the bad reputation it has (at least here in Spain) but I 'll give it a try. Thanks for your inspiring work!
I have a tendency to overexpose this film by 1/3rd to a full stop and I get very good results. I use a Nikon N90s that I have had since 1998. It's never failed me once. However, I will also say that Nikon meters, even in digital have a tendency to underexpose about 1/3rd, to begin with, because they do all they can to salvage highlights due to negative information and therefore keeping highlights from blowing out. I have been producing on film for 24 years both 35mm and 120. Be glad to send you some samples of my work. :)
Thank you for the great information, and stunning sample photos of your results! I’m getting back into using film and I ordered 5 rolls, because I had heard good things, but I wasn’t sure if I should overexpose this film, and your video answered my questions! Keep up the good work!
Such a great video! Loved it! I’ll have to finally give in and try this stock myself. Super stoked now actually, thank you for the heads up, telling me where it’s limitations lie. Subscribed!
What shops do you get your film from bru? Looking for great lockdown deals lol. I love Color Plus and this was a great video! You should post more often man, keep up the lekker content🤙🏽
I really enjoyed watching your video and listening to your take on this film. I'm not sure if it's the right one for me, but I will definitely consider using it for certain shoots in the future. Thanks for sharing.
I had the same experience with cheap iso 200 films in general. I got great results when I started out with film, but than recently I shot about 10 rolls at iso 50-100 thinking I'll get the same effect as with shooting 120 Portra/NPS films at +1+2 but the results were pretty terrible. Not to mention a lot of shots were blurred because of the extra long shutter speed. Love your example shots both good and bad : )
nice work man and good discussion video , i picked up a nikon f100 and some colourplus 200, it costs $10 NZD per roll here in New Zealand. which is the cheapest option.
Nice photos. I've tried Kodak Colorplus 200 film several times. It's not bad, although I prefer Fuji C200 film - more forgiving, more consistent and still very good price
Inconsistency in blues is a problem with your scanner, which usually automates the color channel balance based on it's perceived averages within the frame. The film never changes its behavior--but scanning color negative film is a complex task for a home use scanner, and it tends to cause a great deal of inconsistency, in my experience.
Amazing work! I am amazed at the sharpness of your images compared to my Fujicolor C200 photos. Do you scan the film yourself or send them to a lab for scanning?
And I agree with you except one thing is the photographer who makes the picture by the camera so if you are a mediocre photographer the picture will be bad
I once shot a roll of colorplus at box speed and the photos were almost completely black and awfully saturated. Do you know why this could be? I've thought about shooting it again and giving it +1.5-2 exposure compensation but i don't know
Abdu Moukahal I don’t think the issue would be the film in your case. Make sure your cameras light meter function accurately. Sounds very much like an issue with your exposure or settings
Such a well structured, written, and spoken review of this film. I appreciate how thorough you were.
Awesome shots.. It's like from some fashion 90's catalogue. AWESOME!
This film really shines in bright sunlight. You are totally correct, it is horrible in dull light. I’m thinking this summer I will definitely be shooting a lot more colorplus.
Finally, I found a South African film shooter on UA-cam! Instant sub! Love the video as well
I appreciate the support my man.
Have watched this video a couple of times now and still cant believe it only has 14k views! Great video and great photos!

Appreciate the kind words man, try it you may be pleasantly surprised man.
Thanks man! Found this very helpful.
Great video, Rowan. Thank-You for sharing. Can't wait to shoot some portraits on some Colorplus 200!
This looks amazing! Can you please do a video about how to use a film camera e.g settings, positioning etc?
Just ordered my first few rolls, looking forward to trying it. Maybe not for portraits but yeah will make a change from HP5+
I’ve seen your photos on r/analog great video and I love your work, keep it up man
Tommy Bev thank you man, appreciate the kind words

Thank you for the kind words Preston. I’m glad I could provide a bit of information. I really think you will enjoy those 5 rolls, happy shooting !!

I shoot it at the box speed, exposure at +0, and I like the colors and saturation. It is really noisy when zoomed in or cropped.
Nice one! Good to see CPT represent!
Loved this man, definitely gonna try it for my next roll in the SRT101!
Jason Clifton Thanks man, such an underrated film, check out Cape Film Supply they have the best prices locally.

@@rowanpatrick_ you got very respectable skills 😀

Thank you man, yeah I’ve found that cheap film has nothing on the higher grade films when it comes to pushing and pulling.
Quality content man! Haven't shot much of this film, but I'll be sure to pick some up.
sespela thanks man, give it a shot I’m sure you will love it.
nice work man and good discussion video , i picked up a nikon f100 and some colourplus 200, it costs $10 NZD per roll here in New Zealand. which is the cheapest option.
Really insightful
very underrated channel, you should make more content
Thank you man, really appreciate it
content is so relatable ! thank you mate
You say the right thing.
It is sad that for some portraits are associated only with the Portra.
Nice photos.

Damn I have it pushed 1 stop with exposure compensation at plus 1 on my F3. Will this ruin it?
I doubt it will ruin it. 1 stop should still get you very useable results
Love the shot at 5:42
Thanks man
Amazing work! I am amazed at the sharpness of your images compared to my Fujicolor C200 photos. Do you scan the film yourself or send them to a lab for scanning?
Lasse Andersen I get it scanned by a lab my man.
Love the content man, where do you get your film scanned, looks amazing!
Thanks man, I get it scanned at either Orms in Cape Town or Cape Film Supply
And I agree with you except one thing is the photographer who makes the picture by the camera so if you are a mediocre photographer the picture will be bad
Great work
Thanks General 🤙
Bout to try it on my back from the dead canonet giii ql17 #filmisnotdead
Do you scanned the images yourself?
I get the film scanned by a lab.
Thanks man. I just subscribed!
Where can you find colorplus in Cape Town ?
Check cape film supply
Oh wow, what kind of camera did you use on these photos :)?
Canon A2e

This mans voice made me insecure... jk, loved the photos!
Thanks man
I'm back to watching this video, but color plus is now pricier and always sold out in my country!!
Even in my country, it has more than doubled in price since the time I made this video.
@@rowanpatrick_ film just keeps getting pricier and pricier!!
Who cares about this long theory?people more want to see photo samples,let me drop a dislike on this video
Thanks buddy I appreciate the kind words 🙏
@@rowanpatrick_ Hahahahaha you're too kind
