In this episode we go over my favorite 35mm films as of late and share some sample photographs I've made with each film stock.

I agree with you on the Kodak Gold 200. I feel like shooting it you know you’ll have those throwback memory type images. I like to shoot it on vacations, family get togethers, and at festivals. Vintage vibes all day!

I just randomly tried Superia and discovered that I really like it so far, but had not discovered shooting it at 200 ISO. Time to give that a go ... Thank you!

quarantine got me into film cameras, and i cant wait to go to a thrift store when it ends lol
s a m e
Me too
S A M E!!!!! i just bought online and im waiting for ecq to be lifted so that i can meet with the seller. I even bought film rolls on sale and thank god the kodak gold 200 is part of this list
i got one just before quarantine ;-; and i can’t use it since i didn’t get the chance to buy some films now it’s just collecting dust on my shelf 😔
Same!!!
The gold is real with this one 🎉 If you are stacked up on gold 200, try shooting some @ 100 or 50, you'll get warm pastel colors, kinda clean shadows and lovely golden highlights. You won't regret trying 😊
I'm starting to get a little more "serious" about film photography and just wanting to get better and new results with the pictures I take. It isn't always about how expensive the film or camera is but this was very insightful! I'll be looking into the different kinds of film you mentioned. Love the content!!
Glad to have you post again! Givin me something to do with all this free quarantine time.
You also motivated me to make my first film video that I just posted
I’m obsessed with film cameras, and I think I always have been. Something I’m definitely going to introduce to my channel! I absolutely love cameras
Totally agree with all of them on the list! My number one would be lomo 800, 2nd Superia 400 and 3rd Kodak Ultramax. Love these stocks, super dynamic and the tones are just daamnnnn
That last shot of the crosswalk series you shared, WOW. All your shots are beautiful though!!
I just bought my first 35mm film camera, and I'm glad this video was the first to pop up, on looking for film recommendations. Definitely going to give Portrait 400 & Fuji a try :).
Thanks!
I love Gold 200. It's my favorite color film. For BW work I use a rebranded 5222xx that's inexpensive and gives amazing depth and contrast.
Love this! Just picked up my first film camera and this video helped a lot.
Great to see you again, I've been out of shooting film for a couple years but hoping to start again soon. When I made black and white prints for school I always used Tri-X, but now that I scan my negatives I like HP5 because it's easier to add more contrast to a scan that doesn't have enough than to fix a scan that has too much. When I don't have the money for HP5 I like Kentmere 400 which seems to have similar contrast/tones but somewhat more grain. I've never been a big fan of 200 speed films in general, but I remember a roll of Gold 200 came with my first ever film camera and I have nice memories of shooting that first roll. Fuji Superia 400 is relatively cheap and easy to find at Wal-Mart these days, in fact I'm about to load one right now. Haven't tried Portra 400 or Lomography 800 so far, but would like to some day along with Ektar 100.
Looking into a film camera and your videos have greatly inspired me . Great work and awesome photos .
I’m just getting into film here. Not a student or a photographer by any means. Although I do love photography (and take pretty awesome, digital, photos). My mother brought me a bin with all her old college level education materials, her old camera (Minolta X-370) and a ton of old photos she took from around the early 90’s.
I really admire black and white film and that’s really what I’m trying to focus on in my journey with this camera. Ilford HP5! When you said that film specifically I felt very good that I actually purchased a good black and white film without having done any research or anything.
Thanks man, really. Old video, still helping! Your awesome! I hope your doing phenomenal out there man!
Love your content and I’m just now discovering it! Fresh sub!
KingJvpes thanks for the clean ass videos. I'm getting into shooting film and your videos are so helpful.
the green tones and saturation in the fuji superia are so beautiful
28 years old and I’m getting my first film camera tomorrow. I’ve always been interested in cinematography but I’ve always been in love with the look of shooting on film. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
hey im 21 and starting this off with no knowledge whats so ever, we are never to late to learn something….. hope you are still taking pictures !!
Thank you for making this video. I just got gifted a Minolta 700 and have been trying to find the same film I used on my Dads Minolta SLR in the late 90’s. And thank you for including sample images of these film stocks mainly because it’s hard to gauge what it’ll end up looking like when people just talk about it.
Still love my X-700! I've been using them on and off since 1998.
Additionally to Ilford HP5+ I lately started to fall in love with Rollei RPX 400
the image at 3:52 is GORGEOUS!
Omg I have a few of the agfa film you talked about. Cant wait to use them!
I personally prefer Ultramax over Superia, and Tri-X over HP5, but I love your take on all of these films! Lomo 800 all the way :)
I fished out an old film camera out of my grandma's attic and I wanted to learn about film. Loved this video! It's very helpful seeing the examples and you go over everything :-)
Agree on lomo 800. A lot of my favorite shots have been taken on it.
I just randomly tried Superia and discovered that I really like it so far, but had not discovered shooting it at 200 ISO. Time to give that a go ... Thank you!
The symmetry in the Two Suits photo is spot on. Is there any other black and white films you would recommend trying out?
Aidan Odel pancro 400 and street candy film are great too!
Kodak T-max is brilliant, don't recommend to under expose it
TRI-X !!! It’s the king 😍 the contrast at box speed is just perfect. Overexpose it a bit and you get some more flat grey tones
The wheelie photo! I heard you talk about that on a podcast it’s incredible!!
Hey. Glad to see you again! Thanks for the list! I like HP5 too. But portra 400 has something special to it. Have you ever tried Fuji 400h?
Thank you for uploading the samples to your video as well! It helped me choose some film rolls on my new film camera. (:
Glad I stockpiled on Agfaphoto Vista 400 and Agfaphoto ct Precisa😍 These are really amazing film stocks.
Thank you for your informative and detailed explanation of the films! Can’t wait for my kodak m35 to arrive at my doorstep soon.
how has it been?
I really like the Tmax400 and even Ektar100 (I shot it in summer and got awesome red skin tones which gives it a hot summer mood)
I agree with LOMO 800, great stock. It's actually made by Kodak and used for their disposable cameras.
Nope they use kodak ultramax in disposables, lomo is a lot more expensive compared to the consumer film made by Kodak
the ILFORD B&W is **chefs kiss** definitely my favorite for b&w
That Jessica Rabbit photo in SF was so amazing!
My grandma gave me an old film point & shoot together with 2 empty film rolls. They are AGFA Vista 200s! Can’t wait to use these.
Best 35mm film (at least bang for your buck) is IMO Colorplus 200. Super affordable and I prefer the look over most more expensive films. Best looking film is Lomo 800. I love the grain it has and the colors are just lovely.
Superia 400 though! Just went on a binge of getting some fuji rolls from japan expired rolls and even the japanese variant Premium 400! also, if that agfa vista is produced in japan it should be fuji, but if it's produced in germany it's the original stock. I was able to pick up some of that expired german agfa vista 200 shot at 50 iso and man the look was awesome man absolutely. if you can, you need to try that out. Awesome video man big fan!
Super helpful video for a beginner like me. Thank you so much!!!
I have some cinestill 800 but I have been afarid to shot it! But with your tips I’ll definitely try it now📸
wow! I'm starting in this little world and this video inspired me so much. Thanks you man
Thanks so much, this video is stupid helpful keep up the good work man
I'm currently shooting just black and white with 35mm and the best bang for your buck has to be Fomapan 100/200/400 here in the UK anyway. Love HP5, Acros, Tri-X, Ilford Panf 50 and for colour I love Fuji Pro 400H (my favourite color film).
Very nice video. I prefer fp4 to hp5, especially in 120mm, but that's only my personal preference
I usually just shoot HP5 and UltraMax, but I ordered like 20 different rolls on BNH the other day. I’m really excited to try out Portra and see what the hype is about.
Great vid! You mentioned that it's better to try and get the Agfa Vista when it's not overly expired. But have you tried shooting expired film much? Personally I really enjoy experimenting with it. Can be unpredictable, but it can also be really exciting!
THE KING IS BACK YESSSIIIIRRRRR
0sit0 🥶🥶🥶🥶😈
Thanks for helping me start out, love your Channel 😇 keep it up 👍🏽
lana - thank you!!
Thanks for the review ! You should try Cinestill 800T and Ektachrome
Portra 400
Fuji Superior 400
Ilford HP5
Kodak Gold 200
AGFA Vista 400
Lomo 800
The picture at 9:47 is amazing!!
i love your work, thanks so much !
Porta is just fantastic and you know the picture will be as you see it. Yummy film
duuuuude agfa! i miss that film! i was scanning super old negatives the other day and found a couple of agfa rolls and the colors on those looked sooo good and unique. such a shame that it's discontinued.
Although many people gave crap to Agfa Vista I like what I got from my rolls of Agfa Vista 200. To bad I wasn't to much into film yet when it got discontinues so I didn't stock it up.
Glad to see you're back! Lomo 800 all the way. hard to beat for the price. Stay safe!!
4:45 yo!! That print looks amazing!
Great video. These pictures are great!!!
I miss the Kodak 110, loved that little camera.
After watching many of your videos for a long time, I'm going to say what I think: "You have what they call 'it'".
I love the HP5 as well. It’s very forgiving if you kind of mess up the exposure.
Up to this point I only exposed it at ISO 400 but I’ll give it a try to expose it at 800. I love the more contrasty look.
I hope your well Jonathan ... great list. Missing your street photo vids man.
Kodak gold 200 is my absolute favorite film can’t wait to shoot in tulum next week !
Your shots are incredible
fuji superia and gold 200 are my favorites
When I worked as a Army photographer. I mainly used B&W film. My favorites were Kodak Plus-X and Tri-x. I always went for the slowest film I could for the film shoot. The finer grain gives you better tones. Sharper images. I got great results from Tri-X when pushing it to 1600. I also liked Agfa Film but didn’t use it much. I shot a lot of HP5 and FP4. I didn’t think it was as good as Kodak on tone. Don’t get me wrong I still use Ilford film. It does the job. But I prefer TMax over it. In all speeds from TMax 100 to TMax 3200.
In the Army I had a nearly limitless supply of film, and shot thousands of rolls of film. I haven’t tried Portra film yet and will give it a try. I started off with color film and went into B&W. I like Kodak Gold. Ektar 100. I prefer slide over print and use Ektachrome slide film. I can develop it myself and and make prints with it too, that I feel are better than print film.
I did mostly photojournalism work, but also some studio work too. I love too experiment too with film and did street photography
My local thrift shop just blessed me w a Pentax k1000, two lenses, and a carry case for only 25$ I'm so excited to get into film photography the elderly ladies at the shop said to stop by soon and show them my photos and that's exactly what I plan to do once I figure out what film I want to use
I love To use Fuji 400, but I have seen some sweet pics taken with Porta 400. And I don't know if you have shoot any Expired Kodak Kodachrome but it sometimes provides some interesting effects.
Love this video man !
Loving all the different photos you got on each stock. I've just bought myself a roll of Lomo 800. Where would you say it performs best? I was intending on shooting it at night around city lights. Any tips? Thanks
Typically gas stations, light on water reflexions. Neon and tungsten lights. Arcade games and so on...
Much love man!
As a fellow Bay Area photographer who only shoots analog, Thank you. 🙏🏽
My grandpa shot with Gold 200, he gave me the camera he bought and the 90's (Minolta Freedomzoom 90) and there was a few rolls of unused Gold 200 and a few complete rolls that I'll have to develop eventually that were in the bag the camera came in
I love every single video you upload ; ) greetings
This was incredibly helpful and I'm a huge fan of your work! Thank you
Wow. They should bring back agfa vista! Love your shots!!
Always looking for new films t try out! Thanks!
Ben Seligson it’s my pleasure man 👌🏻
That cross walk photo at 9:46 is INSANE.
came here to say the same thing! that photo is 10/10
WOWW you been leaning out bro ? Looking like you been grinding 💪🏽
not a bad find. Couple of months ago i found royal gold kodak 400 and fuji superia 200 at the thrift store for a $1 each
i really know a new exprerience of analog film on ur channel. thanks bruh
I'm trying to get a creamy texture, with a bit of vibrance, which one would you recommend? I like the look of potra 400, but you're the expert!
Also to recommend for night photos: CineStill 800 🙌🏼
If only it wasn't so popular. It was going for 15-25 a roll last time I checked. It's good... Just not 20 dollars a roll good
Love all of your videos bro... mabuhay!
love the pics as alaways go go go KingJvpes
Also love lomo800, but got damnit it s out of stock!!!!! Next time ill buy a few packd
Try Ilford XP2! It is awesome
KingJvpes, whats your favourite slide film though? I really like shooting Provia!
Love your content btw!
Not a huge slide film guy BUT from what I’ve tried, E100 is probably my favorite
Amazing...Tnks U for Da Video! From Brazil!
kingjvpes!!! 🔥 My favorite film is probably portra 400 but too expensive lol, i use only on occasion. I mostly use bang for your buck films like superia 400 or ultramax 400 because im cheap! 😁 I wish they would bring back agfa vista 400! I want to try lomo 800, for black and white, pushing hp5 to 800 is the best for me for street! 👌🏼
Mike_y Photo 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
watching this makes me miss going out and taking pictures with my film camera so much ..
Those HP5 photos go crazy
Great vid 🤟🏻
Strange that you'll take variation in results from color film, but require one thing always from b&w. Interesting list
I love using the inexpensive Kodak Pro-Image 100 on my Canon F-1. It's the poor man's Portra.
i recently got into full mechanical cameras and i actualy cant wait to buy a roll to put in my camera
Awesome video!!! How do you store your film though? We got a small glimpse of the storage box, but do you refrigerate or freeze it? Also, how long does it take you from loading a roll to processing and developing it?
- Alex
If you can find some try Kodak techniniccal pan . Shoot it AT ISO 25. Develop it in Technidol LC at 50:1. Is no grain and you e the full grey scale!
What's your recommendation for the closest equivalent to Kodak Plus-X? That was my favorite black & white film. Thanks good informative video.
Thankyou for this video God bless you
Thank you! As a newbie I found this very helpful! Maybe you could do one about decent cheap film? Since I'm so new I don't wanna waste money on nice film when idk what I'm doing. My first 2 rolls were completely blank and I paid $20 each to have them developed plus the film cost
go with kodak gold or a cheap fuji for color. they arent awful if you expose properly. or tmax for B&W. .. not sure why your first two rolls were blank but if they were both on the same camera it is probably camera related.
@@graham_white it is because they were exposed to light because I didn't know how to remove it properly 😬 I'm currently using a pack of Fujifilm extra 400 and the first roll turned out well! Just a little grainy. Illl look into those for sure
definitely would make sure you're loading your film correctly because that is normally the issue when you get blank rolls. Make sure you're extending the film to where you need to when you load it.
