Hi Tom, my wife and I met you during your shoot in Sennon and we had a chat. It has been a pleasure talking to you about Cornwall and photography. I am glad that we met so I got to know about your YT channel. Instantly subscribed. Great video, very enjoyable to watch. Actually found us in twice in the video ;-) Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

What beautiful shots!

So many gorgeous shots in that video Tom …. I’m struggling to find a favourite! Nice to have the freedom of no heavy back pack..well done ❤

Small world Tom ! I have the same set up for a bit of lightweight fun , the 28 - 300 VR is good but the barrel distortion at some focal lengths can be amusing .

Tom, nice video with some great images. Enjoy the new camera. It appears to be a good fit.

Hi Tom and congrats on the new camera. The pictures look great. The weather here in Iceland has also been very good for the past few days, sunny and calm day after day, which is very unusual for this time of year. Sunrise here in Reykjavík was at 11:11 today and sunset will be around 15:31. These times are so strange because Iceland is always on Greenwich Time thus the actual noon for us is at 1:30 p.m. Daylight lasts only 4 hours and 20 minutes. The weather for this week will be similar except that now it will be colder with frost up to -10° and wind up to 10 m/s. The worse the weather, the better the photos. My newly repaired Nikon FE2 is loaded with Delta 3200 and waiting to be aired.

Brilliant Tom. I love people watching at Lands End or Cape Cornwall etc. Street photography on the coast path. Always admire photographers who carry huge medium format film cameras around. Smaller camera will give you a lot of freedom to hike around a bit more.

Wonderful images Tom, as usual.

Tom, a very relaxing video and beautiful images as always from you. I've got a film recommendation for you. I've just started using Adox CMS 20 II for landscapes. The sharpness, detail and lack of grain from 35mm is astonishing and I'm really enjoying the images I have got with it so far. It is very slow - ISO 12 in high contrast scenes, so you're on a tripod. Processing is very straight forward, with good instructions on the website. It's not terribly expensive, you can get five rolls with a bottle of it's special developer for £35, so maybe worth a go.

Interesting to see you more freewheeling on your compositions, not as deliberate as with your RZ67, but still some nice shots. Pictures look grainier than I would expect from FP4, though. Congrats on your new gear. I have to admit that I'm struggling with 35mm ever since I started wearing glasses, and getting decent prints in the darkroom is a lot more difficult than with 6x7 negatives.

Interesting video, I have a roll of FP4 and was just looking for inspiration.

Nice photos. Sharp & clear. Have a Nikon FM2 with the Nikkor 50mm f 1.4 lens and love how it handles Ilford FP4. A good film with excellent grain structure.

Great video as always, and a great pick with the F100, I have the slightly heavier F5, but both are fantastic cameras

May be worth trying Delta 100 or Acros in 35mm for greater “resolution”. I had problems scanning. Darkroom printing was the solution 😊. On a serious note there are definitely films that are better suited for scanning and digital applications, such as those fore mentioned. I disliked tri-x in 35mm immensely because of the scanned results. However the film when printed on silver gelatin is lovely. Experimentation is half the enjoyment of film shooting. Thank you sharing your journey.

Beautiful tonal range.

Good result Tom, cracking camera and lens. I've been using FP4 at iso 400 then developing in D76 1/1 I'm enjoying the results. So many different developers out there with differing results I tend to go with whatever is on special offer at the time of need, it's generally D76 haha. Have a grand festive one mate.

Another great set of images, Tom. I have a 28-200mm which I use on a Minolta. It is an old Sigma lens though, so it hasn't the resolution of the Nikon. But, as you said, it is a very handy walk around lens.

The F100 is iconic. The lens you have chosen is a good one, with its wide end being its best. How did you find the 300mm end? Was the VR on? Perhaps a comparison of VR V tripod using a high resolution film like Rollie 80s might be of interest. Lovely photography,Tom.

Very nice video, susbscribed!

Your video and beautiful images have convinced me that Ilford FP4 is a film I must try. May I ask what developer did you use? Thanks.

Fp4 the best...

Snap Tom…bought my F100 two weeks ago. Warning..it eats batteries…so put decent ones in, I only had some cheap Kodak batteries they died on me after one roll..also shot a test roll of FP4 ..loving my F100 much lighter than the F5. I would still use primes on it though, you get better results than using a super Zoom imho!

Hello Tom pour vidéo are very interested but I dont anderstand all because m'y english is not so good maybe it will be easier if there are subtiles in english or french.

Nicely done Tom. I use the F and the F2 Photomics for 35mm - more manual, which I prefer. Hope you have fun with your new kit.

There's many ways you could squeeze much more quality out of 35mm film format, but unfortunately, a superzoom lens ain't gonna cut it...

It looks like Rodinal... but if not, then why do you have so pronounced grain?
