Great tutorial! Just to clarify: Do you use fresh developer each time, or do you test the developer after each use?

I’m only 3 years into photography and I started with film but never developed my own out of fear. Maybe I’ll start now.

On film photography is about the glass that you are using, I think it is a bit unfair to compare a plastic lens with that one from your on M6...maybe if you try to put head to head with a same category lens it will make sense.

This. Was. AWESOME. 😁👊

These shots are fuckin GORGEOUS homie!! And these kinda incredible videos are really the redeeming quality of CZcams shorts. Please keep em up!

I’ve been a film shooter for upwards of around 15 years. But I’ve always been intimidated, but intrigued, by developing on my own. I’m so glad to have stumbled on your video this morning! Very easy to understand! Simply laid out instructions…makes me feel like I really could do this on my own! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your knowledge!!!! ❤️

I never understood the metal reels and tanks. So I stick with the Patterson system. Although i might be going to jobo.

Great video! Reminded me that I have color film to develop!

Fantastic tutorial on film developing. I think I'm going to try it. Thanks so much Tilly!!!

For 35mm I prefer to start the film on the spiral before I put it in the dark bag. Much easier that way.

Good overview of the C-41 process if DIY. Not so great for omission of many practical tips, but this will get your basics in line, and the rest will pick up later. I think her demo of loading a 120 steel reels is wrong as to where on the inner part you start the film. In fairness, her way is the way I did it for 30 years before I learned better. Her way makes it harder to get the film evenly loaded and clipped in. Comment: The Bellini kit is superior to the Cinestill because it separates the bleach and fixer into two steps as required in a real C-41 process, rather than combining the two in a "blix". When the chemicals as first used, there's not likely to be any difference, but as you reuse those chemicals on later rolls, particularly if you process more rolls than specified or delay reusing the chemicals until close to their expiration date, a blix is far more likely to give under-bleached or insufficient fixing, or both. The kits cost the same, and the greater risk of loss with blix isn't worth the loss of film and photo experience to get your pictures.

Thanks for the headsup on not mixing metal and plastic setup.

Awesome! This video should be watched by everyone considering shooting with film - really great tutorial. Hoping this creator takes the plunge and goes full analog with enlarger and darkroom!

Same camera with ibis now made in China. 👏👏👏

Glad I crossed your video, you won a subscriber. Lol!! I bought the X100V at it's original price, one the X100VI I did not have interest in upgrading, now I am.

Awesome❤❤

I love your videos, Tilly. Thanks for adding value to this photography realm. I always recommend leaving your camera in Auto-ISO, P, with a 50mm or 60mm lens on. Just in case you need to run to take a picture

what did you expect from the x100v that you didnt liked it? if you dont like the photos from the 100v you will propably hate the x100vi as well

Thank you for the video! I think I will stay with my x100 for a couple more years before switching(wallet says no) 😅.

Siri needs a hearing aid, 521g is just over 1lb.

keep em coming really like your style.

I was keen on getting a Fujifilm X100. However, at some point Fujifiilm started to bloat their prices. I lost interest. Fujifilm also moved production from Japan to China for the latest iteration. Everyone believed that this was to counteract the shortages and having a better supply chain. and lower prices in the end. However, Fujifilm has kept that artifical shortage. Fujifilm increased even more the price of the camera and comes in at 1800 bucks. This is an galactically insane price. If it does not need to be compact, then go for a camera with interchangeable lenses. Otherwise an Iphone is just fine.

Thank you Tilly. Very helpful review!

How does it compares to the Sony RX1R II you reviewed with the X100V? It goes for around $1900-2000 used.

Thanks for this. It makes me re-think trying to get the newest models. Totally agree - the tool has to be good enough to want to use. I had the X100V for a while - it was great in some aspects like size but in the end, the images just did not compare well with my other cameras. I ended up selling it and getting a Leica Q3 (at a lucky $500 off retail) from eBay. Extremely happy with the upgrade (but obviously vastly more expensive).

I prefer the Sony but then coming from an A7RM3, i knew i would. I grabbed a s/h RX1-r myself and what a bargain it was ok so its only got 24mp but thats plenty and do i really need 42 mp? Maybe if money isn’t an issue ill eventually go for the ,k 2 but as things stand I’m happy with my little mk1 version that only cost me £755!

Actually the x100 line has builtin ND filter and a flash, which is very useable at times. Also, since I don't know and like to much to edit my photos I get the most beautiful photos straight out of my x100v.

Fuji S20 beats both

I am looking for compact beginner everyday camera system to learn photography, develop a shooting habit, composition, playing around with manual settings etc. What are some good options? (optional: works well in low light, must: compact) I wanted to learn photography. So I got a used Sony A7s2. Then lens I got with it was damaged. I thought buying a zoom lens would help me practice diversely with different focal lengths. Bought the Tamron 24-70 f2.8. The thing is I don't keep my camera with me. I should have got a fixed focal length lens (which would have also been smaller) and a smaller camera so that I can keep this handy with me always. I need to practice more and more. The setup I have currently I just don't carry with me. I want to click pictures in low light during evening and night after office on weekdays. And on weekends any time.

This camera couple with Sony lenses works well especially any with a a picture ring. They are smaller lighter and the adapter is really small. The 50mm 1.4 works great. Less so for continuous video but phot is great. Just a thought if you have Sony glass already.😊

It turns out that I like the images from both of the cameras. They are different but I like the not so good quality of the Fuji images as well.

Why talk about the Z mount as an 'issue?" That was 6 years ago for heavens's sake!! And it had to be changed from F mount - too many restrictions for the latter.

Is that Rhett Shull?! Cool!

I JUST NOW DISCOVERED THE N8000 CAMERA..... AND YOU, BEAUTIFULLY SHARRING INFORMATION ON THE CAMERA THAT IS INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. Thank You.

Truth. 1st and second generation full frame cameras give better results than the fuji

I had two X100's (X100 and X100T). while it is a good camera, it is really overhyped. I moved on and got a Leica Q and it was the camera that the X100 couldn't be. Now the current X100 is overpriced, and the Leica Q can be found for the same or even lower price. The Sony has issues too such as battery life, and it is a Sony, meaning that it has complex menu structures and lots of buttons. lots of buttons get in the way.

I only shot with the Sony RX1, for one year - 'one camera, one lens'. As a dedicated Fuji user, I find there's no contest when you put this up against an X100 series camera... Using just the RX1 made me a better photographer.

what are the best placess to get 120 film developed, do you think?

Here doing a wedding and with two sony a9s in the bag with the 85f1.4 and 24f1.4 and the Fuji xt4 and the x100v out in the car but although I wouldn’t use the x100v on a high pace situation I reach for the xt4 over the Sony nearly all the time with the 18mm and 35mm. I just love the shooting experience and how it makes me slow down. Makes you no just shoot any image but makes you think about the light. The angles. The moment. You go from shooting loads to really thinking about when you press the shutter. No camera has given me this feel so yes. It’s not the best at everything but it improves you skills as a photographer by so much. I shot 80 weddings last year so take from that what you will but it’s a different feeling for taking images

@tillyshull Just shot through a 120 ilford bnw film , and I just stumbled upon your channel … Great video also ❤❤❤❤

That Sony is not 2k it is almost like 3k and that Fuji is a 1.5k camera, so not a fair comparison. The image in the Fuji while grainy has more character IMO. It looks more film like and less digital. Some people prefer that.

Hi sorry for bothering, is just that I can't find the tutorial you mentioned

Such a complete video! Thank you so much, I'm planning on buying a Hoga so this was a great help <3

In regards to the meter: the camera is correct. You do not have enough light in the room for 100 ASA at 1/60th of a second, even wide open at f8, for the camera.

If I put a 35 mm and takes up to 36 shots How many shots do I get out of it?

I've sent mine back to polaroid due to its unreliable exposure... it always over exposes, sometimes wildly overexposed even when set to -1 exposure compensation. I've compared it to older models and shot the same scenes, it over exposes even when claiming in the light meter that the exposure is correct. The cameras light meter is totally rubbish, the info it gives is meaningless. Hopefully the new firmware will fix issues

This lens on your Zf looks terribly awkward :D ZF is meaningless without lenses matching the aesthetics. Unfortunately, Nikon is not willing to make a motorized adapter for the brilliant AF-D lenses, shame on Nikon. Nikon forces you to buy new lenses. When I had the Df that was absolutely brilliant in this sense since it revitalized all AF-D lenses. Nikon made big mistakes with Df, and completely dropped the line, but it was excellent for stills photography.

I decided not to shoot instant film with Instax nor Polaroid cameras anymore. I have a RZ67 with a Zinstax back (it's a hacked instax square camera) and I love it! I prefer the Instax paper results. Polaroid is just too expensive and sometimes quite ugly.

I love my Nishika. It’s plastic fantastic, but great fun.

I've used many, many different cameras since I started shooting in 1985. Along the way had m4/3, APS-C, full frame, and medium format. Best image quality is my Fujifilm GFX 50r medium format. The files are simply incredible. But, tied in first place is (well, was) my Sony RX1R. I've had several Fuji APS-C cameras: XT-1, X100S, X-Pro 2, and XT-3. In no way are the files from the Fuji cameras equal to the files of the Sony RX1R with that gorgeous Zeiss Sonnar T lens. The first time I uploaded images from the Sony RX1R to my computer, my jaw dropped on the floor. Just outstanding with tons of micro contrast and that 3-D pop. Those claiming that Fuji APS-C is just as good simply have not seen with their own eyes how an elite lens (Voigtlander/Leica/Zeiss) renders. There is no comparison. The sensor on a camera is important, but far more important is the lens you stick in front of it.. Give me a crap camera with a great lens any day over a great camera and a crap lens. BTW, The comparison shots were great-- also, I thought I recognized Rhett in your images-- I also subscribe to his channel :)
