Still have mine from 2005, bought it brand new. I wish we could still purchase tape for it

Random Dan has the personality to match his photos. What a cool dude.

Thank you for sharing the comparison😭😭 was going to get one of them but didn’t know which one❤

Yes.

It’s not turning on

This is a good video, you should keep uploading.

*Are these tapes reusable? Or once you have used it, it's permanent??*

Thanks for the upload. But why making these super boring pictures with this expensive film? Trees and a bridge and then more trees, then more trees, and then a bridge... I don't get it. What's wrong with some variety? This film deserves that. Deserves beter.

Can you use Hi8 analogue tapes in this camcorder?

Please I need help from the community 😁 On the KODAK, for the flash, we have to press the button all along the shooting ??

Wonderful grain, from 01:48 ;) Ps. Did you shot this a box speed? Pps. Thanks for the upload.

Making astrophotography specific instant film cameras with massive film sizes would probably sell amazingly as a niche photography device. It'd be bulky, for certain, but the overall size would make it simple to design and thus fairly inexpensive overall, especially compared to digital cameras with large enough sensors to be useful at 25+ second exposures without star trailing. How the lens system would work would be a question. It might make sense to make it a fixed lens device like traditional instant cams. The device would male a lot of money off the film, since it'd be a new format (I'm thinking it would be designed for ~a12 paper sized pictures since you could always use a set of adapters or a telescopic film framing system to make smaller photos). Maybe it's stupid

Thanks for doin this.

The big difference between Gold and Color Plus is that when you correct the Kodak warmth out during scanning, Gold will retain good saturation. That makes Gold more like Portra 400 and 800, where when you don’t want the warmth you can just tell the lab to scan them slightly cool and have a neutral and well saturation, balanced image. With Ultramax, it starts getting a tint in certain regions and Color Plus just becomes pretty muted, pretty fast.

Ektar is the Velvia 50 of colour negative film. And just like Velvia, it is great if your subject profits from saturated colours. Landscape, architecture (some styles)... and drinks/food. And just like Velvia, you would rather not use it for portraits. At least not for "beauty" shots. (Could maybe work for sun-burnt endurance athletes like cyclists or rowers...)

Watched this video a few years ago and thought it was awesome that you can do astrophotography using a Polaroid camera. Finally bought a OneStep+ this weekend and can't wait to give this a try, all thanks to this video! :)

From my experience with Ultramax, I really enjoy the film, it’s definitely more versatile in terms of the speed of the film, it’s not too high speed and it’s not too low speed, it’s perfect for a lot of situations. I do respect your opinion on Ultramax and it’s not the film for everyone, I’m just speaking from my experience with it and it passes as a great option for consumer film

I just got one in mint condition in 2024 and having a blast using it more than my mirrorless Sony haha😅

Very well-done video. I feel better now as I just bough the MKE2 kit and I am looking forward to using it. Cheers!

4:52 looks familiar but I can't exactly pinpoint the location

Goes to the effort to Shoot film, complains how you can't edit ektar heavily lol. The point seems to have been missed. Pick the stock, and show what the analog stock gets. Use different scanners sure but leave the heavy editing for digital photography

I’m trying to take photos on it but it dosnt work, we have the battery and film in it so idk why it’s not working

The actual instagram camera 😂

Perfect for great grandma's box camera.

Wao

its my favorite film. A lil bit sad because of finish its production.

Bro it's just about the scanning/editing process. I've shot ultramax and It had a very nice latitude, even better when overexposed. Your highlights being gone is simply an editing issue. not trying to criticise, just help for the next time

I made an observation about fingers, based on my own experiences. Notice it's only vertical photos that have it, so it has nothing to do with your grip creeping up into the lens. If your finger was actually touching or overlapping the tiny lens, it would block most of the image and wouldn't look like a finger. Look at the footage of you holding the camera vertically. Your hand that's gripping the camera from above has your pinky hanging in the view. This also happens with sleeves if you're wearing something wide like a coat.

Hii , please give a suggestion about instax mini 90 or instax evo which one is better ?

super helpful bro

Hello Kodak mini shot 2 retro or Fuji mini 90 ?..

Canon Autoboy Mini T aka Sure Shot Tele Max aka Prima Twin S also has dual lens switch for 38mm f3.5 and 70mm f6. It is much less bulky.

About to try some Ilford Pan F on my Pentax Spotmatic F. Can’t wait to see and share the results.

Just picked one up! Does your battery and date display stay on when the lens cover is shut? Is that normal?

The UltraMax400 is contrasty. If you scan it yourself you should do it with a flat, linear "curve". With it you can optimize the shadow contrast an pull out better details. In the second step you process the pictures in a program of your choice.

Great review. I’m totally the same though. Can’t get past the fact it’s a Polaroid camera. Wanted to get the go for size and style but seeing that the photo quality is tripe. :(

Hi, are new Hi8 cassettes still being produced or is there only remaining stock to buy?

I was thinking about getting the Kodak Ektar half frame camera. But after seeing your video, I realized I can use my finger to block half of the frame😂😂

Is this camera have auto exposure?

It's quite amazing, you set the video camera up so we can watch you snap a photo, but the video camera angle that you set up is much more interesting than the film photos you are taking. You're missing the compositions here bud.

I just discovered your page. I love it ❤ keep up the cool content

I like your video. It really brings the ProImage 100 to the point. ProImage 100 is between Ektar 100 and Portra 160/400. However, I can provide another information. The ProImage 100 is according to Wikipedia an ISO160 film! I can provide with the link, if you like. And it is for sure, a consumer film, not at all a professional one.

Dude please do an fstops video !

Where do you put the batteries??

the fake shutter sound is distracting😅

“Pictures of a friend” 😁

How do you convert it to digital?

You sure it was 480p and not 480i?
