Video

Yes!

Hey really happy to read that! Thanks for sticking around.

Thanks for the comment. Really happy to hear you like them. I have one more similar video on this channel, which I did more recently. I hope you like that too.

Oh nice. I had an Olympus OM2 for a while, and while it was lovely, I sold it on as my Spotmatic just kept calling me back.

@@NorbiWhitney never though it would happen - but for now I keep the OM .

Thanks man. Probably took longer than editing the whole rest of the video 😆

@@Smillii ah yeah those are called Newton Rings and they are indeed really annoying. Google how to avoid Newton Rings, for some help on the matter.

@@abhijeetdeolekar glad to hear it! I haven’t digitised old photos, but definitely removing glare is going to be your biggest challenge. A large soft box around the photo, like for shiny product photography, will probably be a good route.

Can't believe how quickly that went crazy! There have been some minor price decreases recently, but it's never going that low again.

Hey thanks for the comment! Agree on all points. I wonder how much this film stock influenced exposure compensation on the Lomomatic 110.

@@NorbiWhitney That's an interesting thought about the Lomomatic. Aside from the flexibility in rating any cartridges, I've also figured the inspiration was partially related to the multiple exposure function and ability to half-rate 100 ISO cartridges to blend your exposure better.

@@filmismorefun of course! The lifeblood of Lomo is double exposures

Super thanks dude! Been crazy busy recently, but I'll get to work on your video one day, I promise...

Not entirely sure how it relates to this Rollei video, but you're right! I picked up my Auto110 for £110 with 3 lenses.

So nice to read that Markus. Thanks for stopping by. Best of luck with your Phoenix.

Thanks Markus! Happy to help.

Thanks man. Glad you liked it!

Thanks Thorpal. I agree that the cloudy day was very unfortunate, and I didn't have enough time to reschedule. It is indeed another washed Vision3, and I'd say the lower grain is probably because I overexposed it (rated at 640), and metered for the shadows. I know a lot of people shoot Cinestill at 800, which in my opinion is not the way to go.

Another great set, love the ones with the rainbow and hoop especially. You can use a 85, 85b and 85c filter to warm the film up, you lose just over ½ a stop, never tried it myself maybe one day.

@@londonbackpacker I’ve also heard good things about filters. But I’ll deal with just complaining about it instead 🤣

Thank you so much! Happy to read that.

Those were the days. I remember seeing it readily stocked on shelves on a trip to Japan in 2017 and thinking "I should try that stock one day...". Then on my next trip it was already discontinued and $100/roll. Well done on getting a personal stash.

Completely agree with you Beefy. There’s no good reason for the mask to exist, and I’m sure many a photographer have “ruined” their shots by accidentally leaving the mask in (like me…)

Good plan! Check out all the little independent film camera shops too (lemon camera, used camera box, and Shinjuku used camera market, all in Shinjuku, for example. They often have Fujifilm on the counter). If you go to Yokohama (and I you should) then check out Suzuki Camera, in the station. They have a ridiculously big selection of film.

2:06 is *chef's kiss*

Thanks 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 much 👏🏻!!

@@cirquegravity I feel like it’s one of those that you need a BTS for though. Like any normal person will look at the photo and have no clue what’s happening haha

Super appreciate the comment! Thanks for the support ☺

Thanks Bill. Circus knowledge and good timing can save a lot of film 😉

Honestly I surprised myself with how many keepers! Thanks for the love.

Thanks backpacker! Happy to read.

Hey thanks for the comment! I think at this point pronounce Rollei however you like, but best of luck with your new camera!

Hi JaLon. I'd suggest at least 400 speed, and have had great results with Fuji Superia 400. Check my other Reto 3D video for some results: czcams.com/video/054FRf7K4Zo/video.html

Thank you so much man!

And I love that you do. Perfect example of how art should be!

It’s never too late for a question! I’m normally 1 or 2 seconds. Cable release is the way to go. If you’ve got a modern Sony with ridiculously good low light performance, you could maybe shoot at ISO 320 for example and bring the exposure time down a bit without introducing digital noise.

@@NorbiWhitney Thanks so much! I think that would help. Also - I've been noticing some pink/green digital noise in my images (in full zoom) I wonder if that's because I need to expose my negatives to more light while scanning. Will try with a 1 sec exposure.

@@dillimeinbilli possibly. Make sure your histogram is over on the right hand side. To get as much information as possible.

@@NorbiWhitney Thanks I tried it and it definitely reduced the more pronounced noise. :)

Thanks! Gotta love that tungsten at night.

Appreciate that Steve, glad you like it!

Glad I’m not alone haha. Thanks for the suggestion, I just checked out Horst and his work is fantastic!

Thanks for the comment! I agree, but I can make that choice later if I want to crop out the sprockets.

Thanks dude, and thanks for making it possible!

Haha, yeah my bad.

Yeah it does seem like if you don’t have a dedicated 135 back for your MF camera, it’s much more effort than it’s worth.

Hope it was nostalgia-filled! Pause, export frame, remove background in photoshop, add stroke layer style, export png, overlay it, key frame a 100% to 110% size, profit?

@@NorbiWhitney Very much nostalgia-filled! 🙂

Thanks! I use a free light meter app called Lightme (only for iOS I think…) which has built in reciprocity failure compensation. Otherwise for Kodak Gold I think most people use the power of 1.3 So if your light meter says 5 seconds: 5^1.3 = 8.10 Shoot for 8 seconds.

Thanks Pipe! It's the Peak Design Everyday Sling

It’s surprising but it’s a normal functioning town (I bought some very nice sake there!), just very haphazardly built and kind of falling apart.

Hi May Jane. Very rarely, and not in any of these.

@@NorbiWhitney cool do you think It will be fine if i use it in concert? For orchestra?

@@mayjanedoquila I wouldn’t suggest this film for live performances. I needed to use a tripod and exposure times of at least 10 seconds (sometimes 10 minutes). If you’re shooting handheld I would suggest Lomography CN 800, or CineStill 800T for colour film, and Ilford Delta 3200 for black and white.

Sorry to say I'm already not there (and I'm already not where I filmed the outro either, which was Canada.. really can't stop moving, haha). But the hotel was Boardinghouse St.Pauli, on Königstr.

I really appreciate your comment man. It's really nice to know that all the effort of making a video, is appreciate at such a level. Hope you have a great time taking pictures! (and your English is much better than my Spanish)

Reala 100 was a fantastic stock. Wish I could find more!

I know there's nothing like the real thing like real film but if you want check out Fuji x weekly film simulation Fujifilm Pro 400h I think you might like its resemblance! Cheers! ​@@NorbiWhitney

Thanks dude. The “golden” reflection is maybe my favourite of the day!

Thanks! Indeed I shot a lot, but I also held back at moments to save film for later… in hindsight I should have shot more, and just bought more film at the next shop.
