Thanks Billy! Yes, if this film manufacturer can get their act together hopefully we will see a lot more (and better) colour films!

No worries, thanks for watching! 😊🙏

Hi, thanks for watching! I agree in part... with respect to Color 92.... my understanding is that it wasn't produced to be a novelty film, rather a new colour film from Orwo/Wolfen. Lomography got hold of it and have pitched it that way to the market due to the colour casts, grain, and imperfections. Both are worth shooting for sure!

Thanks Suzanne! I'm just about to buy some more Color Neg 400 as I think I'm down to just 1 roll left ha ha

Thanks John! The queue can go out the door quite often with all the public servants during the week ha ha. It was good to see staff in there I remember from 4 years ago!

Thanks NP! Yes trains depart, couldn't think of what to say ha ha! Great summary, I'm on my way to buy some more 400!

Thanks Christina! Keen to see your results 😊

No worries, thanks for watching!

No worries, thanks for watching! 😊🙏

Thanks for watching Carl! Yes I think there is no comparison in the quality really, Color Neg 400 wins hands down!

Yes ha ha! There’s tons of shots of Cleveland, Capalaba, Victoria Point and Wynnum in my videos 😁 you must be local too?

@@MattLovesCameras Tingalpa area. Love Developing Moments at Capalaba Park. ;) My muse is the abandoned red house at 1912 Mt Gravatt Capalaba Rd. You came up in my feed. Have subscribed. :)

@@flickeringgreenflame8493 Amazing, thanks so much! Oh yes I know that house ha ha! My muse is a little further up the road - Graham's Tyre yard opposite the 7/11 servo in Wakerly / Gumdale!

@@MattLovesCameras Ah! Yes. I keep expecting for it to get bulldozed -- it looked like it was going to... but then nothing happened. ;)

They have to be the same. There aren't that many film manufacturers out there.

Thanks James! I'm not sure I can bring myself buy a roll of NC500 after I backed it in June 2022 and it never arrived... I eventually got my money back but it was a stressful experience!

@@MattLovesCameras yeah I remember hearing it on your podcast the other week. :( Such a bad experience you went through.

Yes it has that look, I’ve heard that it’s Orwo stock that Lomography bought from China!

Yes! A good point I didn't make... is this just NC400 or NC500 by another name? Likely!

Yeah I’m sorry I bought the NC500, it’s not what I thought it was going to be. I think I’m going to play with pushing & pulling it see if I can find something decent.

@@Minolta_Gal oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Christina 😟

Thanks Jamie! I never got to shoot NC500 even though I ordered 20 rolls in June 2022... sounds like a blessing in disguise! Agree re your thoughts on NC500, and added to the mix is the whole NC500 vs NC400 issue! Loved your pics by the way, suited the film perfectly!

@@MattLovesCameras yeah it’s all good. I think I might see what it does with fall colors. And like I said push it & might pull it to see what it does as well.

​@@MattLovesCameras I ordered 5 rolls and got them a while back, but it definitely seems like they've had a hit-and-miss process on getting that stuff out. But yeah ... unfortunately I have not been particularly thrilled with what i have shot. I have some more to give it another chance, though. And thank you!! Definitely excited to shoot a lot more of it, and very interested to see if there's a 2024 formula, too ... :)

Well I gotta say I love your passion ha ha! I bought both films with my own money, no freebies here sadly. I'm not a huge fan of the German company behind these new films, but I hope they continue to improve and get better in the coming years. I understand Adox Color Mission is perhaps also a product of those factories, so if they can produce more films like that it would be amazing. The one thing that this film does is show us how good Kodak is! I also shot Lomo 800 in Japan, fantastic film, but sooo expensive now :( thanks for watching!

@@MattLovesCameras I feel the feels. I have 3 rolls of Sillberra 100 in 120. It's aero, but I have it. I know the muted tones I will get and I will shoot accordingly. But kodak doesn't offer that to me, and that is a problem. It's so good in harsh light in the bright sun in the desert. As soon as Alaris collapses entirely, we are stuck doing reach arounds. And that gets old really fast. But it's so much better than crap film. Crap throw away not print is not worth more than toilet paper. If I meter, compose, capture an amazing moment, and the emulsion is crap, then I'm sol. I'll spend $5 more per roll, counting on my skills to be able to print and gift 4 per roll easy being conservative. And they are bangers to hangers. Can't do that starting with crap. Granted, I shoot evocative challenging environmental portraiture. For street and crap, who cares. Sure, go bang a wide shot of some leaf and mountain, or go 28mm in a crosswalk or an abandoned building for the tubes. Not my jam. I care about my prints and how they make people look. You and Lucy are engaging and I do not like either of your work, but I respect your perspectives and what you are doing. That's just personal preference. We need more pressure on kodak. Plain and simple. No one in the next 5 years is going to put out fresh clean stock. Fuji has been dead for YEARS, but there are still people that believe that there are 100 people in a factory in Japan cranking out emulsion that simple isn't happening. It's not. There is no one working these factories. It's a fact. The rest of these stocks is all lomoesk, but I need clean prints. I can goop my lens for free if I want to or pee on it, or dip it in wine. And I am in no way disparaging your work, I just need clean fresh film. And I'll pay for it so I can print it. I print. It's that simple. Ask yourself what is your ratio of shoot to print to sell or gift? I strive for 1/3 or 0.33. That's taken me 3 decades. But I'm so proud of that, and it shows in my patience, tolerance, and hard work. I treat 35mm like large format, not a cell phone. I can't afford crap stocks and I will not support them for the sake of good wishes and crappy photography. Let's be completely nakid honest: film, dev, and a good scan is going to cost you $15 film then $20ish being nice on dev, and a good scan. Every time I click that shutter I know that is always going to be at least $1 per shot. And that is why I don't shoot crap film.

Given that, I also really struggle with this ideal of keeping photography accessible. That is a myth. The top 10% of the world's population (I'm guessing and being conservative) has a cell phone with a camera. The 0.05 has a digital camera, the 0.004 maybe has a film camera. Of that, given the costs, who has money to shoot film? I know, and you do too. It's not accessible and it never will be anymore. We have to realize that if we who might be broke and save up for it and still shoot it, we all need to recognize that we are just privileged. And I guaranty you that 80% of people that shoot film have shitty cars, because that defining lifestyle of, you actually shoot film and you don't care how fast your car goes or is pretty, that they would put on a personality test as a priority like a test and the answer is always going to be let me breathe and take a shot from any old bag, or piece of metal or wood. It's a very basic economic self selecting populous. And I am one of them as you are. But I know the choices I make for each click, how much I get a return on print optimally for that click, and so be it. Sorry, ranting. But fruitful conversation and hopefully engagement for your channel. Tl;Dr: don't shoot crap film. And screw these people selling expired crap for $$$. You're pictures suck, and homage to lomo, but they suck and the test is you won't print and gift or sell them.

Let me know the first time someone prints a 92 and hangs it in the wild without being sponsored. It's never going to happen. Like 99.999% of turquoise. It's a money grab of crap, plain and simple. Shoot digital.

In the last 9 months I've done the 3rd cla on my Nikon and the 2nd on my hasselbad in 25 years. That was almost $2k. I think my leica is good for another 5 more years since the last one in '99. It took me almost a year to save up for that. I don't think there are many people shooting XA's or P&S's that have an actual relationship to their tools. It's OK. It's sad, but, film will never be accessible and this off brand click crap plastic focus way of trying to get people into is is patently wrong. Buy a $150 serviced camera and treat it not like a cell phone, but use it, or shoot instant. Better even, plug the usb-c instax printer into your cell phone, hello, and then make a great gift print. Your channel audience is razor thin.
