  I just developed my first roll of Ektachrome in the Bellini kit and I´m very happy with the results. They state the 1st developer time to 6:00-7:00min. I did 6 min but how would 7min affect the result? Darker? More contrast? Your videos are most inspiring!

  @@olleinsulander Appreciate the comment! Longer development time will yield a brighter / more contrasty image. With this said, I highly recommend making a test roll that you can cut strips from. This will allow you to test development times and also, have a baseline for testing new chemistry / if old chemistry is still good

  This means a lot to me! Gives me some motivation for more videos soon. With that said, yes… I’m using an 80a filter to correct for tungsten lights. There were several powerful tungsten lights pointed at the ceiling to illuminate things for a video that was happening and I took my stills with the proper filtration. It was a 55mm 1.2 lens, wide open at 1/15th or 1/30th if memory serves me. Shot at both shutter speeds, some turned out and some didn’t.

  Great video, and I am excited to look further into your channel. I wonder how you meter. You set the meter to ISO 80 and are you metering always for the mid tones? I understand that each scene requires a separate decision as far as exposure goes, favoring either shadow detail or color saturation. I'm just wondering specifically how you metered in this very well executed video. Thanks! E100 is all I shoot, freezer is full of it =)

• 
  @DavesFilmLab3 ай бұрын

  Many thanks! I always meter at iso 80, with a preference towards shadow detail. I’ll often let the highlights go fairly hot, but tend to keep it all within reason. When in doubt, bracket exposures +1 stop over your base iso of 80.

  I am pleasantly surprised to learn that some photographers still use filters for particular emulsions the correct way. Kudos to you. The 812 is just about perfect but for a little too much ' red ' hue that it exhibits. I am quite fond of 81C myself, and I even use it on digital. Sadly, the pric eof Ektachrome is all but prohibitive for most of us in the UK these days, about £28.00 or just short of $34.00 for a roll of 135. That is before processing costs are added in. I remember buying Ektachrome 100 for under £5.00 a roll in my youth. Great photography by the way.

  I've always been partial to Fujifilm's offerings of positive film. With Provia and Velvia practically gone, there's no choice really. I find that Ektachrome is too cold. A warming filter is a must for me unless the weather/light is perfect. It's especially cold and blue when developed in the poor 3-bath kit by CineStill. It's somewhat better using Bellini's 6-bath (I haven't used Jobo's kit but it's also a 6-bath).

  Have you experimented with using stock D-76 and D-76R so you can keep using the same developer many many times without losing effectiveness? You can process 128 35mm x 36 rolls with a gallon of D-76 and a gallon of D-76R

•

  Yes I have. And while the difference isn’t hugely noticeable, this method of mixing it myself was not only more consistent, but also yielded a finer grain structure. The image is way more important to me, than the economy of chemistry

  I started with D76 and D76-R around 1990 or so when I was shooting B&W 4x5 like I had a motor drive. These days I mix both of the developer and the replenisher myself. I never found a noticeable between film processed with fresh developer and film processed after several rounds of replenishment. I definitely prefer mixing my own soup.

  This approach is brilliant. Years ago when I shot regularly on slide film, I would use my film camera's internal light meter and the vast majority of the time, my exposures were spot on. Once in a while, they would be a little over or under. More recently, I shot some film again after a long absence. I did some testing of a second camera's light meter before the shoot but even so, I was shocked to see that my exposures were way off. And I took great care with the metering so it's quite puzzling. Bracketing my exposures didn't help either. After that, I had the idea of using a digital camera to check the exposure for my film images. Soon, I'll be shooting a test roll and I'll do some bracketing and see what the results are like.

  I'll definitely have fun! I know you strongly recommend shooting wide open. However, I am tempted to stop down a little bit - perhaps half a stop. My foreground subject is going to be a tree lined hill about 30 feet away or thereabouts and I would like both the hills and trails to be in focus. And I'm not sure if I would have enough depth of field wide open at f3.5. So I am considering maybe closing down to f4 just in case. Also, there's something I'm curious about. On a really dark night, do your eyes adjust enough to provide a decent view of your camera equipment? Just wondering if I'll be able to see well enough to locate my cable release to end the exposure. @@DavesFilmLab

  I don't think I'm ready to get a large format camera, but I've really wanted to have some of those 4x5 slides so that I can look at them in a light box. I've thought about getting a pinhole camera to try large format out with and I'm tempted to do pinhole with Ektachrome. I feel like it would be a waste of the high-resolution film if the pinhole camera makes the images soft, but at the same time, my intended viewing would be on a light box.

•

  The bigger challenge with the pinhole will be getting your exposures to fit into the narrow latitude of ektachrome. I’d recommend just getting yourself a crown graphic for cheap and having fun with it
