    I'd love a video just on how you meter. One thing that has always confused me is seeing a small handheld light meter like that used. but the light where you are standing might be radically different than the area where you are pointing your camera 10-15-30-50 feet away. Other than using a much more expensive spot meter, do you tend to use a light meter app (I do)? Do you always meter for the shadows? If not, what is the decision making when metering? Would love to see such a video from you.

    Nice video... and nice camera. As far as I'm concerned, 400H is more like 100H, I shoot Portra (whatever type of Portra it is) 1 stop over metered for the shadows, and Lomo 400 in low light (for some funky results) but it definitely has a look to its own when you go outside the box. Where'd you go Red Hook? Cobble Hill?

    Coming in a year later.... the Fuji does it for me. Seems to reflect true coloring... the Porta is just too soft and de-saturated, the Lomography is great if you're going for Instagram or Facebook pix and to punch things up to the max, but for personal satisfaction, give me the Fuji... it seems to give a real world look that I want. Glad I found this video so I know what to buy that will make me happy. Thanks for sharing Mr V!

This summer I've been going on a lot of trips but I always have to take both cause I'm scared the film photos will turn out awful. Is it better to fully step out of the comfort zone or is it good to learn the settings and exposure with a digital camera at the same time?

    Those shots into the buildings through the windows were so good. Out of curiosity, what did you meter for there? You're far enough away that you wouldn't be able to meter specifically the highlights or shadows(I think) so did you just average the scene and then go a bit under to preserve highlights?
