Thank you for being short and useful ! 🫡 I have a r6 mk2 now and i was sony user all my life. I have a lot to learn now.

Great video. This deserves a far greater audience! I can see a real difference between the 10 v 20 compared to the 0 v 10. I actually prefer the 20% for low light photography, but the 10% for daylight portraits (based on videos elsewhere.) Question is do I get both?? 😊

Hello☺ thank you. You’ve said before you got the R6 you were able to view the file(playback) without the choppiness. Which camera did you use before ? 🙏

Not a good choice for your first B&W film. Try out Ilford HP5+ or Kentmere

Very disappointing, not what I expected!

I shoot 60fps at 1/60 slow mo in 50% and render in 30fps

This video makes zero sense. First of all I have no idea why the different camera comparison, and you never explained why you used 2 different cameras, so good job on that. Secondly, shooting at 1/60in the example that looked choppy wouldn't have produce footage like that. If anything it would be smoother and have more motion blur because you're opening your shutter for longer. I'm not saying it would look better, but it certainly, most definitely would not look choppy. I think you do not know what settings you even used, when you created the choppy footage example.

I shot my first roll last week. its a very fine grained film - looks like your lab messed up the processing. For scans I default to TIFF as its the nearest to RAW. jpeg scans kill the dynamic range, particularly on the P30 which is so contrasty we can't afford to lose any info. to get proof of use I went in to the darkroom to print off the negatives. Played with contrast filters on the enlarger as well. its a gorgeous film, very tricky for skin esp. when there is a strong contrasty light. as the film doesn't pick up red light spectrum, skin is tough in bright contrasty light (both light skinned and people of color) - next time I shoot it I will actually bring the light meter to the face of the person, and set exposure this way, rather than a more general scene weighted light reading. low light, indoors or early evening there is a magical feeling to this film. for contrasty but usable portrait work I love fuji acros II and even ilford hp5. cinestill xx is another awesome one. rollei retro 400 is pretty cool albeit a little grainy.

It's the film, it just happens to be high contrast AND orthochromatic. Great video, totally understand your gripe.

Good review. This is an awful film. Horrible blocked up shadows and difficult to expose for and develop. I’d Go for Rollei Retro 80s if you want the look but with a fat superior film - or Kodak Double-X.

even if you end up with a bunch of black space around your video - I was hoping that your side-by-side would show the entire video clip, so I can get a sense of how much it crops. I can't get a feel for it when you artificially crop the 2 clips yourself lol.

Hi Tristan, i'm a french photographer and i appreciate a lot your pictures! I've just bought today a PENTAX 645 (first version), and yours thoughts have helped me to decide! i m now waiting by this fantastic camera... i will show you my pictures ^^ best regards. Chris

Really sick pics sir nice nice u can fix the leaks ur self on the back magasin it’s easy. Peace.

Cool video Tristan. Just subbed. Love the work. Love the contrast. Warhol said I like my blacks black and whites white.

5-7 business days? You can get them back in under an hr IF you just develop it yourself!

What are you metering the light with? Does the 645 have an internal light meter?

잘보고갑니다~~

Listen up bro... Get some Kentmere Pan 100. It shoots waaaay flat. You will have plenty of room to curve, shadow and highlight. I develop my own. So my negs give me a second layer of raw

Thank you for this! I finally understand my camera a little bit better

I'm coming from mostly B&W (pre digital days); also shot color in the old days. Now I shoot both digital and film equally. I happen to love FerraniaP30 but it's not for everyone. It's the rich black and noir-look that I want, albeit sometimes. When I have trouble getting P30, IlfordPanF is a close second (ISO50). I develop B&W at home. I've also used Tetenal C41 developer at home for color film. I have to have a color film project to make it worthwhile so I can use a whole kit before the chemicals expire. Color is not that difficult, you just need a water heater (Cinestill has one for $100). Anyway, look up the history of P30. It's not exactly the same cinema stock from the great 20thC art movies (think Felini) but it's close. You might get a different appreciation for it and choose a different location (not the beach). It's not going to be an all around film stock for you but worth exploring.

For me camera a it’s c70 and the second it was r6

Rip to losing a good one from nikon to the competition

Good to see LA. Oh mine ! Please don’t open the back of the camera to remove and reload a film in full light, at least open it in the shade, you will get pictures with more contrast…

i think the rode videomicro is a more direct competitor to the minbo m2.

You're not talking too fast, brother! I "talk too fast" too! LMAO! Good video, sir. I think I'm going to buy one because at that price, it is truly a bargain. I'm certainly bigger than you so I'm wagering that it will likely fit me just fine. After I get it, I'm going to come back here and let you know my thoughts. Liked and subscribed! Keep up the good work. Oh, and by the way, the story at the beginning was a nice touch. I'm sure there are some who say "just get to the point." To which I say, "go watch another video!" Do what YOU do, sir. Just like YOU like, so too will someone else.

RODE NTG 5!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Watched this as I am about to play with this film for the first time. I remember reading a review of it headlined, “This answers the question, ‘Can there be too much contrast?’” This is a good reminder to be thoughtful about what I am photographing with P30. Next question is what to develop it in. Thinking D96, but if the crowd has any recommendations, love to read.

What lens were you using on your 645…75mm?

Yes, the P30 is a very high contrast film with his own, and what i know unique, spectral response. High sensitivity to blue and low to red like ortho-cromatic films. It's somewhat of an ortho-pancromatic film. And film-labs with a standard development mai often destroy your results. Try to develop this special film by your own. I have best results with Rollei Supergrain developer 1+50 semi-stand development. First minute of agitation- 11 min stand- 10 sec agit.- 13 min stand, tank upside down, 10 sec agit.- 15 min stand for at all 40 min of development. Stop and fix, washing after with clear water and final rinse with stab. That's only one way. For me it's one of the best films ever produced. If you need to use filters, yellow or orange. With red filters it's hard. Cheers and good light.🙂

Great shots, absolutely loving the colors ♥ - did you adjust them for the video or is that just what Kodak Gold looks like?

You are a natural 👍

Thanks bro just what I needed, thanks for putting in that work! When I purchase this def gonna hit that link,.

Great video. Don’t limit yourself to the golden hour though, you’re a great photographer and you will come up with ways to use all hours of the day or night. Keep going, always have a camera with you.

Straight Fiyaaa

Nice, do you shoot Gold at box speed?

Can you mount a focus wheel?

Hmmmm... I'm in Virginia and my lab for all my film (B+W, Color, 35mm, & 120) and they are in California... I think Carlsbad (The Darkroom). Perhaps you should give them a try.

Save even more money by buying your old camera instead of paying new prices.

I agree. They don’t suck. I got one and now I am getting another lol gotta have one for each camera, who switched back and forth forth 🤦🏻‍♂️ I know I’m a little late to the game ha

Use box speed (80) and develop in D96, it's a motion picture film after all, either Kodak or Bellini alternative. It gets sticky in the changing bag, so don't waste any time!

Hi, many years ago Ferrania were really big in colour film production, they also produced film for other companies like Polaroid, 3M bought them out and film production ceased in 2009. The P30 film carries the name Ferrania, but it was developed by ex-employees and fans I believe? It always gets good reviews, and if your photos are anything to go by then those reviews are justified, nicely done 😁It is expensive as b&w film goes, there are many others half the price for anyone thinking of giving b&w a try. I love the the medium and use it as much as colour print film, mostly in 120 roll film cameras in 6x9 format, in this format due to the size of the negatives 6x9 you only get 8 shots, the negatives are 60mm x 90mm, huge compared to 35mm which are 36mm x 24mm. Give it a go, most 120 roll film cameras in 6 x 9 format are folding cameras old style, if you do decide to go for one check that the bellows are light tight, sound odd ?😁you will know when you see one! Cheers, greetings from Wales.

that wobble

Appreciate the info

Hello I'M NOTOROUS IRBY IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY BRO VERY NICES VIDEO AND YES THAT SCOOTER WAS REALLY FAST AT 32 MILES SO NO I HAS NEVER RIDE A VALA SCOOTER BUT ITS FAST IM A WEPEDZ GTR ESCOOTER RIDE BUT YES I HOPE YOU SEE AND READ MY COMMENT THANK U FOR SHARING 👈👍🙏✌️🇺🇲👍💯🇰🇷🇺🇦🇯🇵

I'm thinking bro about to talk about a credit finesse or some

I believe the lab screwed the film on developing. This film should have much less grain. Probably a not recommended developer and time led to that

Very helpful for photography ! Thanks!

gracias campeón

20% if you going to filter filter. 😅
