Thanks Paul yes I think it's a more advanced film, I wouldn't necessarily give it to a kid or a beginner. Hey I see you're cold season is coming on strong over there does that mean you'll be slowing down with the videos?

Raychristofer Hi Ray I’m really struggling with the rain 🌧 and I’m not trying to slow down because of the huge demand but it’s tough at the moment 🌧🌧

@@PaulDoldenDetails Hey check this folding canopy out. Do you think it can help. m.aliexpress.com/item/33040009728.html?pid=808_0000_0101&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.33040009728&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=3547amp-FIENwq6n2N6fl_RVf7rNLg1573466328671

Raychristofer definitely Ray

OC how you doing my brother. thanks for taking time to check this out, I must be hitting the big time. its interesting that was your favorite shot because my wife and i have different favorites also.yes someone else told me the guy on the bicycle would have been a good shot I just wasnt ready unfortunately. you know what I did, when I reviewed Lomo CN 100 I and a few other films I sent Lomography a link to share and I do that whenever I review one of their products so I guess they remember me. they sent me a roll of CN 800 also. great company the way they reach out to small creators also. I support them in return. yeah man youre welcome here anytime

Hey OC sorry I missed your comment. Bro you're like the sixth person to point out I missed the bicycle guy. Lol . By the way I got 5 rolls in 35mm and am shooting at 400 and it's coming out much better.

@@Raychristofer LOL. Yeah that was your Magnum moment lost forever man. haha. I was like, "woah, he's going to be inducted into the photography hall of fame in 5, 4, 3, 2,.......ohhhhhh he missed it" hahaha. Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa etc :)

@@OldCameras thanks my man. Hey I got a laika 3F about two months ago and I can't really put it down. When I use fine-grained film like T-Maxx and the scimitar 50 mmf2 I'm getting really the look I wanted in medium format. Really enjoying shooting it. I know you have one also. What I think is the most useful is that telescopic rangefind magnified people it's like I never miss focus if I use it properly. Whereas my wide-angle rangefinders I can't see critical focus

@@Raychristofer I had the IIIb version sadly without the telescopic viewfinder. I had a little parallax issue but once I got used to all that, it felt really nice. Mine had a canon 50mm lens on it, but it was really high quality glass.

Thanks Gary. Yeah I was shooting blind in retrospect. I kept the camera with me everyday but some days I didn't see anything worth shooting. Glad I got the big negative though.

Hello thanks my man. I watched your Olympus trip video yesterday. Big difference in quality I noticed. And fixed 6.5 and 100 shutter makes your realize they're really modern day box cameras with flashes. Good comparison. The good thing about you getting five rolls is you can perfect it by the time you reach the last.

Raychristofer “Modern day box cameras with flashes” - you nailed it Ray! I was planning on rating Metropolis at 200 to start, but after watching your video, I’m going to start with 400 for the first roll, and then maybe 800 like you said, depending on how that first roll turns out.

Hello thanks for checking this out I appreciate it. Do us both a favor and check out my updated review where I bought some more film and shot it at 400 ISO and it came out so much better, here's a link and let me know what you think. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

Thank you my man, definitely let me know how it goes and share some results

Thats awesome man thanks, be careful and watch out for snitches, dope heads and zombies lol

Thanks so much, Norway is on my bucket list for sure. Those landscapes. Will you be trying this film?

Thanks bro. You will succeed where I faltered lol.

Hello Harold how are you? I appreciate that much because it took me a few weeks to put this video together. The brand developing kit I got is Arista, I got mine from freestyle photo it's about $24.99 for a quart. I split the kit in two so that it lasts twice as long . I find color developing to be a little more technical than black and white because of maintaining that 102 degrees and as the developer starts to exhaust itself you never know when it is expired, there's been times I've developed rolls after weeks of not using it and the rules came out blank. Ugh

Hello Anthony thank you. the first image was shot in overcast shadow conditions, since they told me to shoot it in sunny conditions I didnt get to experiment much with shadow retention. need a few more rollzz

@@RaychristoferThoses rolls will be coming... Believe that!!!

Thanks in advance, Ill give you my shipping address lol. :)

Thanks much my man. Definitely check out my follow up review. Much better results. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

what's up my man thanks so much for checking this out. Ironically a week ago I uploaded an updated review of this film shooting it at 400 ISO and the images came out perfect. definitely check out that video when you get a chance and let me know what you think. Here's a link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

I saw that vid too, bro! Great review there as well. Also saw your Lomochrome Purple review. Great review. I must say, I’m not keen on the purple, but the metropolis, yes sir! Actually, your initial video’s pics reminded me a bit of images I’ve gotten from Kodak 2254 film (iso 1.6). Similar, almost monochrome with a slight blue/green tint. What I love about film is how different it can be. It’s got so much character. Way different than digital! Like you say, keep it real!

@@tzilpoctil777 much respect my man. Feel free to share your results when you get them back

Where can I send some to ya? I live in a very rural area, so my pics will take on a different look for sure.

@@tzilpoctil777 my Facebook is Aloy Anderson my Instagram is @aloyandersonphotography

Hey man thats awesome, Ive shot most of those, I even have some Berlin images that i cant find the time to review. definately get back to me and share maybe your instagram or flickr when you get them developed. Ireland ey? much love to the one Joey Dunlop, I followed him for a long time, great example of a man. respect

Hello thanks so much. I actually bought another 4 rolls in 35mm and shot it at 400, had great results. im gonna do a follow up review at some point but you can check out my flickr album here of the latest 400 images. good lookin out boss. flic.kr/s/aHsmL3dM73

Hello thanks for reaching out and commenting. You look like you have a lot of good experience shooting film also. I don't know if you saw but I actually did a follow-up review of this film which I shot at 400 ISO and got pretty perfect results. It turns out when they say you can shoot at it two or 100 they're really saying you can overexpose it by one or two stops. Here's a link to my follow-up review check it out and let me know what you think. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

@@Raychristofer Yes, I am following the threads here. At 66, I have been doing B&W at home since I was 15. My great grandfather was a friend of George Eastman (of Kodak) in NY. I love a big negative 645 and up. I still have a fondness for the quickness of 35 (I have a Kodak Retina IIIC which is a gem of German engineering) and Nikons. Here on the farm (old house) I have a huge darkroom and studio in what was the attic. So spoiled. I love your look of Miami and I should really get there. I presume you know the work of Constantine Manos who did "American Color" and American Color 2 in your city. Anyway nice to meet you sir. Your presentation style is great. Also, your family seems wonderfully patient as subjects. All the best!

@@charlesk323 Awesome thank you, yes having young kids is great for a photographer. yes those Retinas are Gems, I have to say Kodak couldnt have produced something so technical on their own. ill definately look up Mr Manos i regret I havent heard of him yet but maybe I have seen his work ey and didnt know it

Big Michael. thanks, man i feel i flopped this time honestly, maybe I expect too much of myself. glad it was helpful though

@@Raychristofer Don't ne so hard on your self, Ray. Not every film is for every photographer. If you shoot more of this, I just, you have some experience to work off of aaaaand if you do, post the images. BTW, I am getting some gret results with. Pro Image, pleasing slin tone and some pop in colors. Keep making the videos, my good friend

@@michaelofmelrose hey Michael thanks. I was looking at pro image on eBay also. I heard it was made for hotter climates I need to try it. Also there's a Japanese film called fujicolor industrial 100 that pops reds while everything else is normal. I just finished developing a roll of Kodak gold 200 in 35mm. Cane out perfect. Haven't shot that since the 80s

Thanks for checking this out and the color passport is a brilliant thing to use especially on cloudy or overcast scenes for better white balance. with only 15 shots I decided to choose variety of shots over experimentation. this film behaves so differently than typical color negs im used to. I feel it might be more like digital in that maybe its better suited to metering to protect the highlights. I think this film has great potential in knowledgeable hands. let me know how you get on with it and dont be scared to shoot a review of your experience.

Thanks coach. I bought four rolls of 35 mm and I shot two already but my color chemicals are exhausted it's a good thing I ran a test strip of Kodak gold in the dead developer before trying to run the metropolis . I was wrong when I said I only want to shoot medium format with this film. I found when I use a good camera and a good lens like a super takumar and shoot it at 400 ISO the images are outstanding.

Thanks Carlos. Sometimes I have duds though lol

Thanks ML. Good looking out

Wait, is this Bon on my channel?? I must be big tyme lol thanks. By the way look in my feed a few months ago I did a follow-up review of this film where I shot it at 400 ISO and it came out pretty perfect. Lemme know what you think

@@Raychristofer haha I'm nobody! But cool, I'll check it out 😆

@@Bonsees hey by the way something super cool happened to me,last year I did a tutorial on the channel how to shoot infrared film and ilford saw the video and liked it so much they invited me to write an article for their online magazine. Yo man your boy is immortalized, if you don't believe me here's the link www.ilfordphoto.com/shooting-infared-extended-red-film-guide/

@@Raychristofer oh wow congrats!

their all high bro lol

Hello my man thanks for checking this out. Yes my OCD is kicking in I want to nail this film with a few more experiments. How is the 4x5 coming along?

Raychristofer I am hooked on 4x5 but my back isn’t!

What camera would you use metro in?

Hello thank you. A few days ago I released my follow up review rating it at 400. You will want to check out the better results. Here's a link, let me know what you think. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

Raychristofer Awesome! Thank you so much

Hello Naomi I really appreciate that. yes my OCD is acting up with how it turned out, you ever lost a game of tic tac toe and wanted a do over? lol. I think Christina Bartolucci's review has the best results

@@Raychristofer Actually, I've watched a few of your reviews, and I like the OCD you bring to them. Small little details, to me, are really valuable. Knowing what "might" occur takes a burden off one. I am always concerned about doing something "wrong" when I dip into new territories - maybe not with film, but for instance with processing film. Christina's shoot worked well as she used the recommended focus on bright colors (ie red, orange) as well as had a lot of strong contrasts, all of which helped. I plan on trying this film in different circumstances. Your study showed what can go wrong, Christina's shows what can go right, but between both of them, we get a very good idea of potential with this film. I hope you plan to do another review when you get more of it!

@@nmd1211 awesome Naomi. Send me your Instagram plz I'd like to follow your work also

Thanks Cam. That's funny you said that because I wanted to try night long exposures of like liquor stores with neon. Prob better to use Ektar tho. Let me know how you get on with it and yes it's not a mainstream look.

Hahaha. I guess I did now that you mention it. Great area to shoot and on weekends it's deserted

Hello you're welcome. I'm shooting more at the moment as a follow up. I find 400 ISO best. I'll keep an eye out for your review 😊

Raychristofer thanks for the heads up, I’ve been watching other videos and have been hearing the same thing!

Hello James thanks for stopping by. Can't go wrong with either camera. Let me know how it goew

thank you, I bought 4 more rolls and I'm shooting at 400 ISO and it's coming out much better. review coming in the next few weeks

Yes thanks my man. At one point I was considering shooting a night-time scene of a convenience store but I never got around to it. Then again that might be better for something like ektar. I really want to shoot this again I'm sure it could be better. Check out this review by Christina bartolucci it is very well done also kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b795pqSV2qixkoU.html

Hey thanks. I still feel it's an unfinished test though. I can do better

@@Raychristofer keep going, you'll get there!

Hello Ava thanks so much, for some reason I feel this film is best with people in the frame. I'm gonna pre order some more for sure. hey that was a very interesting idea you had shooting images in an elevator. I don't think that would be so easy in Miami as somebody would call the police on me lol. The results were perfect though. Carry on

Hello Carl you're the fourth person to mention the bicycle bloke. Yes for sure. I have a rolleicord and m645 I think they're perfect but your lubitel is fine you don't have to buy anything else. Do you develop yourself? Thanks for your support as always

@@Raychristofer Thanks, Ray! Looked at the Rolleicord after watching your video on it, but it's a bit more than I want to spend til I see how I do and if I stick w it. Won't develop on my own at least at first. Cheers, bud.

Hello Daniel thanks for checking it's out. I'm using the Epson v600 with the factory software. A few days ago I actually uploaded my follow-up review of this exposing it at 400 and getting excellent results definitely check out that video

Hello how are you? Thanks for checking this his out. if you overexpose this film it will quickly blow out the highlights , that plus the fact that the negatives looked over overdeveloped probably caused that issue. I bought more rolls of this film and did a follow-up review a few months ago and shot it In 35 m m at 400 ISO and the results came out perfect. definitely look back in my feed and watch that video and let me know what you think.

@@Raychristofer Thanks, I am watching that video now.

Hello I appreciate that. I have ordered six rolls and in a few months I should have an update.

Hello Peter thanks for checking this out. Let's both buy a few more and shoot a review together comparing results. Just don't show me up too bad lol

Hello how are you ? Thank you. I don't know if you seen but I did a part two shooting this film at 400 ISO and it came out great. Check out this video before your shoot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6lgqM-o2ZORf58.html

Thank you. I just got five rolls of 35 mm two weeks ago and I'm on my third roll, what I found is it's best to shoot it at 400 and not meter for the shadows. @aloyandersonphotography Is my Instagram you can see some preliminary shots if you like

Thanks for passing through Cho. I dedicate this to you

Hello Felix how are you? Thanks and if you do try it let me know how it goes.

@@Raychristofer of course I will. I was checking a Mamiya M645 80mm f2.8 for 300 dollars from Japan

@@felixifloresrodriquez3306 definitely talk to The cellar and make sure everything is operational and have them test it with a battery and make sure the lens is smooth and clear. Realistically it's not cost-effective to return something to Japan. I got a lens that the focus was grainy feeling like sand was in it and a body where the shutter curtain had a light leak. Ended up selling them on eBay for less and buying another set. Japan stuff is usually legit though.

@@RaychristoferRaychristofer yes that I will. Here in Latvia is a guy that will fix anything related to analog cameras he owns a Mamiya 645 1000s. I get all my lens and camera stuff from either Japan or Finland will let you know how it turns out.

Not that I know of but I got 5 rolls 35mm I shot one already at 400 and it looks much better. In overcast days though there's a green overcast I don't like. I find it's best in direct sun

Yeah man it looks like Armageddon almost

Thanks man.. wait a minute you left out Terminator lol

Hello Dylan, just letting you know I did a follow-up review of this a few days ago. Shooting at 400 ISO getting perfect results. Feel free to check it out

Thanks Big Mac, were you able to get the pre release roll? let us know how it goes for you also.

Please say it my man, you are free here. By the way last week I uploaded a follow up review of this, shooting at 400 iso. Perfect results, chack it out.

@@Raychristofer as soon as that bike rolled in! I'm seeing that yellow and I'm thinking 'shoot, shoot, shoot'! 😂 Ah perfect, I think 400 will be the one. I've got two rolls of the film arriving this week, which is why I'm researching now 😊

@@me.my.son.and.i oh the decisive moment lol. Yes that's the problem with shooting manual film cameras.I was running the video camera at the time and wouldn't have time to focus and compose. That's why when I'm doing street photography I always meter first and have the shutter cocked. Hey please share your results when you get around to shooting it.

@@Raychristofer I've got a bit of a mini project in mind for it. Hopefully it goes to plan, but I think as you mentioned, the first roll may be a bit of trial and error. Should have something to share in a couple of weeks maybe. Insta: @me.my.film.and.i (very new to film photography)
