what asa should i be shooting at with this film
152549
I generally shoot at 1600 develop for 6 minutes (75f) in Ilford dd -5 with good results... I have shot at 3200 and 800 as well...change developing times accordingly. At 1600 (120 film) the grain to me is similar to TMax400...

I usually like to shoot at 1600. I've also used it at 800 and 400, but I don't think that gives me enough benefit relative to 400-speed film. I'll do 3200 if I need a little more speed, but the grain is much more noticeable than at 1600.Edit - forgot to mention, I'm using XTOL undiluted for 6.5 minutes as recommended in Ilford's chart.

I've heard that the real ASA is around 1000 or 1250, but the film is designed to be shot at 3200 and pushed two stops. Personally, I've had good results with this film as low as 800 and as high as 3200. Just be sure to let your lab know what you shot at.

you can shoot at 3200 and the film has a lot of room for compensation to go higher or lower

one roll of 120 film (= 12 or 16 exposures on a medium format camera - depending on the camera)

I would suggest adding the filter. Please let me know if you get better results and if you are able to capture footage. Ciao.

the backdrop seems to be a very good quality, however for this particular shoot I was looking for more of a blue gray as shown in the picture the grey background would be fine for another shoot but it just wouldn't work for me this time if you're familiar with the zone system I would say this would be Sixor or seven or closer on the grayscale

There are two accessories you should get with this camera. Rechargable batteries and a 2GB memory card. The camera comes with 2 AA alkalies and a 16MB memory card. The alkalies will give you a little over 100 shots but the 16MB card can only hold a fraction of those shots before it runs out of space. With a 2GB card and a set of rechagables you'll be ready to go. People have mistakenly stated that this camera eats batteries but that is simply not true. The camera has an overly sensitive low battery indicator that comes on when the batteries are only 1/4 used. Just ignore it and continue to shoot. I find I can get near 400 shots with rechargables before the batteries truly are drained. A "Change Battery Message" will be displayed at this point. This is different then the faulty low battery icon. At this point the camera will not operate until fresh batteries are in place. It might be that other cameras get way more then 400 shots, I don't know, but I don't find this limit a problem. Not too long ago I and everyone else changed out film cans every 24-36 shots. Oh, you can tell the size of your memory card by going into the menu, settings, format card. You should also be aware that it's advisable to format your card once and a while and not simply erase pics. It seems memory cards for all cameras will begin to act strange after some time if you just erase your photos. So keep your card healthy by formating it. Formating of course deletes all photos so do this only after saving to your computer.

Does it really matter. Keep it refrigerated once you get to preserve. My photos came out nicely with this film.

the picture is 3x3 overall 3.5x 3.5 The last pictures I made were light tan to dark tan no color. This film went out of production in 2008. As far as I.m concerned it is not worth the money.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

I used a red 25 and it turned out well, this film won't allow for the best IR photos though

If your new to filming. A focal range of 35mm 50mm and 85mm are good lenses to look at. If your new buy something cheap in your price range and learn. Than once you have the skill spend the money on the gear. This rokinon is a great lens and I would recommend this as a 35mm lens its what I use on most of my interviews and shoots for my work.

you bet. buy iso 400 speed film and set the shutter speed at 400 or more and you can freeze an indy car at speed or freeze a humingbirds wings. this camera is extremely capable. i would suggest a few classes at the local college and get you tuned up. well worth doing.

Just read through my instructions on my comment and go by that and you'd be surprised. I know it sounds funny but make sure your film is the same temp as your ipad screen and don't be in a hurry. I have been through so many, but this one for me was the easiest. just don't get into a hurry.

Usually that means the shutter speed was to set below 250 sec. Increase your ASA to 6400 in low light conditions and if shooting in available light, usually tungsten, change from the auto white balance to the tungsten setting in the manual setting dial in at 250 sec. shutter speed and 2.8 aperture and respond to this post with your results, Thank you!

Just use a good tripod... set any of the SX models on manual... and ISO 80 shutter on timer 3--5 shots open up the F stop and time the shutter at 3-10 seconds and just play with it... adjust your light meter for day light... tugnsten gets a blue moon... it's digital no film to waste. Once you fine the sweet spot then you will know the next time you go out.. But a good tripod is a must.. SILK DX700 72 inch height has a pan head.. but the ball head will work on it......

I own this camera and I buy film from the Impossible Project. You can order online or find it at an Urban Outfitters. This is new film, from what I understand. I've gotten very good results from the black and white film, and mixed results with color shade. Be warned: it will be pricey to be a prolific polaroid shooter.

This film can be used in any camera that accepts 120 film (medium format). Your camera takes 35mm so you would need to order it in 35mm. If your shooting Ektar 100 make sure you move your asa dial/button to 100. I use THE DARKROOM in California to develop my film and convert it to digital.. Enjoy shooting with film!
