I bought my F3 used back in the early 90s. Still my go to camera especially with the 24f2.8

Great video, thanks!

AE-1 Program is what started me down the collecting spiral. Picked it up about 5 years ago from Savers. It was tagged at 14.99, but I had a 20% discount. I'm still running it even though I now have over 200 film cameras. I've fixed the squeek in a few Canon "A" cameras. Not hard to do, really. Great video. Thanks.

Hey I ha been told that the bokh mode works better close up

I went out to a "Farmer's Market" with my grand daughters. The plan was, to shoot them standing still while the crowd filtered around them. I used 100 ISO film and a ND 3 and ND 2 filters stacked. I had calculated for 1 to 2 seconds. I realized after getting the film developed, 2 things. 1: my 5 year old GD can't stand still that long, and 2: two seconds is a long time. The crowd would move enough at 1/2 to 1 second. The 5 year is older now and is into photography, so she should be able to stand for that long. Long exposure shots are fun. Actually, I've gotten both of them into photography and they both have Canon Powershots.

I have been looking for content about folding cameras for a long time, and you really helped me😁😁✨✨

I just bought one of these. I always turned up my nose to Leica, I always saw them as a camera hype brand akin to Supreme or Louis Vuitton, Rolex. Sure, they’re well made, but my Canon does just as well. I ended up going hasselblad for a while, as I loved the ruggedness and large form factor. But the III series is iconic, and now that I have my hands on one, I really think it’s the quintessential Leica. Yes, the M line is more advanced. But the III series is what truly cemented Leica as an icon in the photographical world. And I love mine. I just bought it today, a red dial. I’m loading my first roll tomorrow!

I used the Yashica 124 g to photograph high school proms and little league baseball team portraits with great result,a good little camera ❤.

I came across my grandfather's old Nettar 518/2 and I can't seem to get it to open to insert the film. I was wondering if anyone happened to know the best way to get it open as I dont want to break it by forcing it open.

Did you say that you shot the images of the high tide at ASA 6 with a six second exposure with that big stopper, what was the f-stop like 36 perhaps? Cheers 🙃

Why say “ 1 half of a second ? “ just say 1/2 a second like an English person.

Used to shoot Agfa APX 100 and develop it myself back in the 90s. Lovely film. But I've never tried stand development. Might get my gear out and give it a crack.

I have been trying with overexposing. So sunny 11 maybe ?

my father had both the K1000 and the Spotmatic with a ton of lenses I used both in high school !!

Awesome video, love the technical info and great photos. I would have tried to snap that dog having a waz haha I need to use my nd filters I bought them after watching one of your older videos but only used them once.

Smart phone can do it also.

you know what they say don't work with kids and animals good video.

look out isle of Wight Roger's got himself a bike thats what i like about your videos lots of fun in them.

looks a really fun camera i might get tempted by one.

I always though ISO 12 or 6, sounded so incredible slow. But ISO 12 is"only" three stops slower than ISO 100. Anyhow nice video, always nice seing you out shooting.

Like a Boss! The quality and quantity of your videos are unreal. Your math skills, on the other hand.... j/k! Cheers

I took my Pentax slr for a photowalk and made much better photos

I have got an app Reprocity on my Android. I think it is a help.

use 1.3 power for exposures longer than 1 sec.

Late to the party here. But I tried it and didn’t have great results. I found it to be “muddy” for lack of a better phrase. I have one roll left and will give it a try. I am sure that my result was due to user error somewhere. My biggest issue with the film is that it is so thin as to make loading onto reels very difficult.

I picked up a Nikon F-601 at a camera fair here in South Australia where I live. paid 10$ with the lens, the guy selling it bascially gave me the camera with the lens for that, and I put some batteries in it, and have been using it since, great little cam, that didnt break the bank. I also have an FG20 I picked up at a local pawn shop for about 30$, another great little camera. there are others I have, all those from Nikon F, F2, F3, F4E, F80, FE, EL Nikkormats, FT and FT2.

Not sure if it’s offered in the UK App Store but here in the states, there’s a great app called Reciprocity that does all the long exposure calculations for you. Plug in the film and base exposure and it’ll adjust exposure for that specific film’s reciprocity. Also gives you the source of the information that they’re basing the calculation on. Usually it’s just grabbed from the manufacturer’s data sheet

Great job Roger!

Roger have you thought about strapping your tripod underneath the top tube of your bike.

Thanks! I didn't know how long exposures work either. I am new to film and photography, so thank you.

Nice work. That filter is cheap. Some of the other ones are very expensive. That free well tri pod is very expensive. Good thing I got tripods and cameras and film for free when I helped promote a monthly camera show.

Great video as usual, I use a Hoya ND1000 & Visico CPL on digital cameras and I should get out to try long exposure on the film cameras as well.

I bought an 18 stop ND for the April eclipse. Thanks to New York weather I didn't get much use out of it but I would like to! Idk if I would be willing to use it on anything other than Acros. Certainly not Foma!

It looks pretty cool but I wish it was full frame though. I would probably consider buying it if it was.

is the cheap filter plastic? i might pic on up if it is because I want to cut one down to fit a certain smaller size filter ring thing I have for a specific camera.

ND filters get much more picky for color. Color cast is so unwanted. With B&W it not an issue. Reciprocity handling could easily be a subject of video or two. Often you get by with calculations like (time in seconds)^1.2 or time^1.3 or whatever suits the film. Sometimes there is no info on film datasheet (other than do your own tests) and sometimes the info on datasheets can be just wrong. Not so much an issue with short exposures but when you get into several minutes it really matters. (and some films like acros need no compensation unless you're into extremely long exposures). I've used long exposures to get rid of people in the city and needed to use if for low light photography like in the night.

ND8 = 2,4,8 3 stops ND 1000 = 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024. 10 stops

Have been debating getting a high-power ND filter to do this (but like you said, the big LEE and NiSi filters are quite expensive, but I usually try to get the 100x100mm filters so they will fit all my big Mamiya and LF lenses). On the topic of losing tripods... last year I was out taking some photos of a big mountainside electric star.. it was super windy and cold, and as I was packing up, left my tripod sitting in the parking lot next to me car... it was a Robus 5570 + Acratech Panoramic head. I noticed some people flashing their lights at me, but I just thought they were being goofy. After driving an hour away to my hotel, I noticed my tripod was missing, so drove all the way back, and thankfully someone had taken my tripod and set it up neatly against a tree on the edge of the parking lot. Whew... So yeah, a airtag or similar would have been handy lol.

Been a photographer since I was thirteen years of age film and digital I’m now 76 years young and still at it love film find it a challenge love your videos you are so ambitious about your photography keep up the good work like me I’m sure so many other photographers enjoy them 😊👍.

Excellent video 😊!

Been looking to do long exposure with film for some time. I have Ilford’s film reciprocity calculations. You have inspired me to do something about it.

Rog, You’re at the top of your game, mate. Keep going as it’s all good stuff and there’s no one out there doing the same. You’re not just a photographer, but an educator and an entertainer. Can’t be bad to be all of those can it?

I know how much work you put into these vids m8!!! So I didn't skip a second!!! It was well worth it too 🙂

I use a 10 stopper but only with digital. Film is too expensive to waste 😂👍📸

Good video, FM3a thats a pricy vintage, were you at Fisherman’s Cottage? I used to live up the steps Near Rylestone gardens, very good especially on film.

great tutorial, thank you

Some nice shots there Rog. The locking and leg extension mechansm of that tripod reminds me of a Velbon Ultra Maxi L that I had and gave to my daughter a few years ago. It didn't cost anywhere near the asking price for this new kid on the block though!!! Just for information about ND filters, 8X ( or 8 times normal esposure time= 3 stops ) is 2 to power 3, 16X is 2 to power 4( 4 stops ) , 32X is 2 to power 5 etc etc, so this way it is easy to work out what all these mean. On the other hand ND 0.3 is one stop of light loss, ND 0.6 is two stops of light loss, ND 0.9 is three stops of light loss etc etc. Hope this helps.

Amazing video, as always. Just have to say that your videos are so inspirational. I love your enthusiasm. I just started with film, and after watching one of your videos, I just want to go outside and shoot some more. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos 🤟

Awesome video 👏🏼📸

Sorry Roger … but the dog took a long piss exposure !!! 😂😂amazing vid as always !!! Cheers 🍻
