Würde dieses gerne mit dem Valoi Equipment verwenden, frage mich aber grade, wie es da mit dem Abstand zu besagtem Leuchtbrett ausschaut. Das optionale Licht von Valoi passt ja perfekt in die dafür vorgesehen Halterung. Das Kaiser aber natürlich aufgrund der Größe nicht. Dumm gefragt: stelle ich den Advancer dann einfach auf das Kaiser Leuchtbrett? Macht der daraus resultierende größere Abstand (k)einen Unterschied?

They want that result. If one doesn't want or need film, then digital is obvious solution. Babbling on youtube is just that, babbling....same as my comment.

Taking a picture with the Easy360 is easy but the actual workflow of moving the scanned negatives to the computer and then using some software to convert to positive, white balance ets appears very time consuming.

I reckon what the Easy35 lacks in post processing speed is makes up with superior quality. If you have access to a decent digital camera, you will get better scans than with any flat bed or similar intermediate scanning system.

@doyoudevelop7 ай бұрын
That's a good point -- i've scanned some fair amount of slides with it and I certainly prefer the results towards traditional scanners. Obviously the key is getting the right light temperature to avoid colour shifts in the film. I usually reference the colours to the colours my slide projector produces against a plain white wall. The overall sharpness is certainly better too, as a macro lens picks up more details than say a traditional flatbed scanner. There's also a slide holder for mounted slides, which allows for quick scanning.

This is the most thorough test I’ve seen on black and white exposure and developing. There are great videos out there but there’s usually at least 1 or 2 variables they decide to not bother with which makes the results less conclusive. I’ve been shooting tri- x forever before it was renamed 400tx. I’ve also noticed recently the rebate on my contact sheets are nearly black when I exposed the paper for max black. So confused as to what they’re doing since tri-x in 120 seems to be normal. I thought my paper developer was bad or I wasn’t developing long enough. Tri-x also seems to be at a minimum a true 200 speed film or even less. Maybe 160. Apparently it used to be marketed as a 200 speed film. My recent hp5 contacts have been near perfect at 400 with extremely bright film rebates with clear sharp text. I’m always on the fence about switching to hp5. I also gave pan f+ another go and it’s now my go to low speed film at 32iso. I’ll be bulk loading soon. Thanks for this great video. Are you shooting tri-x consistently at 200? What’s your go to development time? Mine has always been 9.75m in d76 1:1 or 7min in rodinal 1:25

Thank you so much Eric, your words are very much apprecaited. I have made very similar experiences to you, along with a friend of mine who has always used tri-x since over 20 years. The emulsion and writing has definitely undergone some change, at least in 35mm. I've been metering Tri-X consistently for 200 ISO, as it feels very much like that is the correct true native speed. Develop in Rodinal 7:30 at 20 degrees (1+25).

There's nothing faster about this method compared to a flatbed scanner especially if you don't have a dedicated space for the setup. Plus, it's very finicky all that mirror thing, horizon level.. etc.. and NLP is not so reliable..
I'd argue that's very subjective! :D Also my Epson V800 definitely takes up more space than the Valoi. Especially because it's a bulky machine that can't be comfortably rearranged. But hey, thanks for stopping by :)
Worldwide bitcoin mining consumes 3x the electricity of Denmark and that is solely for this single crypto. Cloud storage of Apple or Google needs own nuclear power plants. Energy consumption for manufacturing of micro chips, SSDs or camera sensors is off the roof insane high, electric cars have at least double the footprint of their combustion pendants. I’m engineer (MScEng), don’t believe everything they tell you and definitely don’t worry about EFP (ecological foot print) of film and chemicals used.
That's what i've been thinking .. strange times indeed. Thank you for your input!
I'd love to eventually see some kind of organic sensor which behaves more like film. I'm not sure it's even possible hahah.. but a least it may give some soul back to otherwise dull digital files.
Yes! I mean lots of the old Leica sensors were like this, the M8, M9, they all had that "slide film look" .. it's a shame that modern digital sensors all miss the point in photography.
I loved you trying to put a roll of film into the battery compartment. Would make a great spoof clip.🤣 Interesting content. Thank you.
Haha yes, that's a classic! Thanks for tuning in!
Looking great. Since I've just started Film (35mm), it might be the One for me. 😊
Thank you!
Such a great magazine!😊
I must say I have really liked most of your well-weighted comments, not just on photography, film and digital cameras, AI and more in-depth comments about the nature of constraints (not just in photography), the future of photography and where it could lead us to. I am a Kriya Yoga and Tai Chi teacher, Wim Hof Method instructor and I love photography. Keep up what you are doing because it brings not just beauty but a lot of insight to whoever watches and listens carefully. Take care!
Ah that's so kind of you! Thank you so much for your words. That's all very impressive what you are doing. It's nice to see when people notice the parallels between all these things.
@@doyoudevelop Well, exactly my thinking. We need to think more holistically, taking much more account on a global perspective! All the best!
Yes, absolutely! Right back at you :) @@ppudelko9120
Great video. I immediately though the m10-d would be a great for you as it’s a very analog experience.
Thank you!
How does Valoi equipment fare when scanning color slides? There is a lot of info about scanning films (color or BW negatives) but very few if any about slides.
That's a good point -- i've scanned some fair amount of slides with it and I certainly prefer the results towards traditional scanners. Obviously the key is getting the right light temperature to avoid colour shifts in the film. I usually reference the colours to the colours my slide projector produces against a plain white wall. The overall sharpness is certainly better too, as a macro lens picks up more details than say a traditional flatbed scanner. There's also a slide holder for mounted slides, which allows for quick scanning.
Tye tones it gives is like the ones from picture encyclopedia that I view at the library before
This is the most thorough test I’ve seen on black and white exposure and developing. There are great videos out there but there’s usually at least 1 or 2 variables they decide to not bother with which makes the results less conclusive. I’ve been shooting tri- x forever before it was renamed 400tx. I’ve also noticed recently the rebate on my contact sheets are nearly black when I exposed the paper for max black. So confused as to what they’re doing since tri-x in 120 seems to be normal. I thought my paper developer was bad or I wasn’t developing long enough. Tri-x also seems to be at a minimum a true 200 speed film or even less. Maybe 160. Apparently it used to be marketed as a 200 speed film. My recent hp5 contacts have been near perfect at 400 with extremely bright film rebates with clear sharp text. I’m always on the fence about switching to hp5. I also gave pan f+ another go and it’s now my go to low speed film at 32iso. I’ll be bulk loading soon. Thanks for this great video. Are you shooting tri-x consistently at 200? What’s your go to development time? Mine has always been 9.75m in d76 1:1 or 7min in rodinal 1:25
Thank you so much Eric, your words are very much apprecaited. I have made very similar experiences to you, along with a friend of mine who has always used tri-x since over 20 years. The emulsion and writing has definitely undergone some change, at least in 35mm. I've been metering Tri-X consistently for 200 ISO, as it feels very much like that is the correct true native speed. Develop in Rodinal 7:30 at 20 degrees (1+25).
loved the opening and closing shots in this!
thanks buddy <3
wunderschön! wie schöne Bilder glücklich machen können!
Gorgeous video Jahan 👍🏼
Thank you!
